"A comprehensive roadmap for parents who want to raise securely attached, emotionally healthy children. A parenting must-read." - Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed., author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions

"Eli Harwood teaches the essentials of attachment, which can help parents 'show up' in ways that enable our children to become securely attached to us." - Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child

Learn how to create a lifetime of connection, trust, and open communication with your children through connection-focused parenting.

Though there have been countless studies on how attachment styles affect our romantic relationships, Raising Securely Attached Kids is the first book to reframe the subject for caregivers and children.

Licensed therapist and highly sought-after attachment research expert Eli Harwood illuminates the science that explores our innate human need to bond with other humans, and helps us harness it as the only parenting approach proven to have a lasting impact. Her loyal followingβ€”fast approaching the millionsβ€”connects to Eli's accessible approach that helps everyone form secure and close relationships with their kids, which helps them develop resilience, confidence, and form close relationships in the future.

"Eli Harwood brings infectious-fun energy, vulnerability, and fresh perspectives without shaming or blaming. Not only is Raising Securely Attached Kids a practical and actionable guide, it's grounded in science and entertaining to read." - Hilary Swank, actress, storyteller, mom of twins

Hopeful and inspiring, this essential evidence-based guide shows parents, educators, and anyone with children in their lives that they are not alone in the questions and concerns they may have about raising confident, capable, and caring kids.

Covering every parenting era from newborns to adults, Raising Securely Attached Kids teaches simple, real-life strategies that will help you:

  • Move past old patterns from your childhood to become the parent or caregiver you yearn to beβ€”no matter what you went through growing up
  • Resolve past attachment traumas so you can offer a calm, connected, and secure base
  • Create a secure attachment relationship with your kids by choosing connection over control
  • Build and reinforce a strong foundation of trust with scripts and practical tools
  • Understand that it's never too late to create a stronger bond with your children
