Eschewing traditional tactics that primarily aim to modify behaviour, Dr Becky advocates for a method that places connection at the forefront, fostering an environment where both parents and children can thrive.

The book is an empowering resource for parents seeking to move away from conventional punitive measures such as reward charts and time-outs, which often fail to address the underlying emotional complexities of children.

In Good Inside, Dr Becky shares her actionable strategies in a clear, relatable manner, helping parents tackle a variety of common but challenging situations, such as sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, and tantrums. Her principles are designed to shift perspectives, guiding parents towards building stronger, more empathetic relationships with their children while also setting them up for a future filled with self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.

This book is more than just a parenting manual; it is a call to action for a generational shift in how we raise our children. With wisdom that's both practical and deeply insightful, Good Inside is set to become an indispensable resource for any parent looking to cultivate a nurturing, supportive, and loving family environment.

Throughout its pages, you'll discover that the journey of parenting can indeed feel as good as it should be, armed with the knowledge and confidence that you are raising your children in the best possible way.
