Good book to focus on how kids can focus on learning and utilizing positive skills in their lives. Helpful for youth who have shown resilience through trauma, but are unable to describe what it really looks like for them.

Really helpful read. I got the e-book version which I was able to read on my kindle and it was such a helpful parenting tool. I have toddlers and wasn’t sure if the material would be appropriate for their age group, but I felt like many of the ideas mentioned were relevant and applicable to even young kids. Highly recommend!

This is a great book for those who work with children. It is easy to read, informative, and insightful about how to work with challenging behaviors in general, but especially in traumatized youth: Start from “What Happened?”

Incredibly comprehensive; trauma informed and has sound guidance for not just parents but those supporting families.

This is a fairly dense book information-wise, but easy to read. I like that the chapter on building resilience in children of color was written by a guest author of color. The chapters are short and broken up well, but I do find that the information can be repetitive.
One interesting thing I did was ask my two teenagers to read the parenting descriptions and without other context tell us what style they thought we had. They picked the two styles I thought I most closely aligned with, which made me happy that I had a good perspective on my own parenting style.
