The Parenting Revolution

A Guide to Raising Resilient Kids

By: Dr Justin Coulson

Narrated by: Dr Justin Coulson

What does it mean to be a good parent? Are you a good parent when your child is compliant, but a bad parent when they're not? What if they're perfect at age three and challenging at 13? And what if your child has additional needs? This is an audiobook about parenting styles and what it takes to be a great parent. We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents or iPhone 6 parents? So many styles, but is there one that actually works? Justin Coulson believes so. Drawing on up-to-the-minute research in parenting science as well as studies of childhood development, he shows: – how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs; – how our job is not to fix our kids, but to create an environment that supports their growth and development; and – how children flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and involvement, and establish healthy boundaries. Coulson's revolutionary approach and practical strategies will encourage you to change the way you parent forever.©2023 Justin Coulson (P)2023 Bolinda Publishing.

Solid parenting strategies!

I enjoyed the in depth looks at each topic from parenting practices 400 years ago to present day approaches, the science behind why each suggestion is beneficial, and the practical\lived experience stories shared to illustrate how these approaches have helped Dr Coulson and others. Need Supportive parenting is exactly how I want to parent.

Worth Reading

Such a well done explanation of how to parent well. Includes research explaining why this is the best way, lots and lots of examples of how to actually live it, and encouragement because it is hard work. I like that he acknowledges the challenges many people face but doesn't shy away from sharing best practices. I'll relisten to this many times over the next few years to remind myself of the details, but I really love that the key takeaway is just to meet your kids' three basic psychological needs; as a busy and stressed parent, I can remember that!
Definitely recommend!
