This is a great resource for parents (and some things could be adapted to the classroom too; I’ll have to check out Teinert’s book on that subject). I appreciate the many practical, specific tips and examples of how to implement the 7 steps. The strategies are differentiated by age group. The visuals are also helpful in reinforcing the main points. While there are other books on the topic of responsive parenting, this book is unique in offering rituals of connection. My only tiny quibble: I'm still going to tell my kids "please" and "thank you" when I tell them to do something. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and BookBuzz.com for the free eARC. I post this review with my honest opinions.
