Being a parent can feel overwhelming and exhausting. So much of the prevailing advice on raising children leaves parents feeling conflicted and confused rather than confident that what they’re doing is best for their children.

In The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient Children, Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson—founders of the Institute of Child Psychology, child psychologists, and moms with an immense social media following—give parents the answers they so desperately need. Using the latest research in neuroscience and developmental psychology, and weaving in concrete strategies, Tammy and Tania have created an essential roadmap for parenting that truly works.

• create positive mental health outcomes,
• lose it less on your child and be the parent you always hoped you'd be.
