From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans. These techniques don’t build the skills kids need for life, or account for their complex emotional needs. Add to that parents’ complicated relationships with their own upbringings, and it’s easy to see why so many caretakers feel lost, burned out, and worried they’re failing their kids. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGood Inside,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dr. Becky shares her parenting philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOffering perspective-shifting parenting principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGood Inside \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookshop NL","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47978033283353,"sku":"GOO467TBS","price":37.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/2928\/4633\/files\/41_sszrjuTL._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1712941920"},{"product_id":"hormone-repair-manual-every-womans-guide-to-healthy-hormones-after-40-lara-briden","title":"Hormone Repair Manual: Every Woman's Guide to Healthy Hormones After 40- Lara Briden","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"The book my patients have been waiting for.\" Dr. Peta Wright, gynecologist and women's health advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHormone Repair Manual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a practical guide to feeling better in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z.
