What do Jennifer Garner, Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Lisa Damour All Agree On?
The 5 Principles of Parenting
In order to join the live zoom on RESILIENCE next week, and immediately receive a sneak-peek chapter on key TOOLS for building resilience, RUN to pre-order your copy of my FIRST book, THE 5 PRINCIPLES OF PARENTING: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans!
Of course I think this book offers game-changing RELIEF and TOOLS for parents and caregivers, but JUST IN CASE you need to hear it from a few of the most trusted voices on the planet – here is what they have to say about it (and yes I got quite teary eyed from hearing this level of support):
“Here, at last, is the book parents have been waiting for! Dr. Aliza Pressman distills decades of developmental research into sound and practical guidance that addresses the real questions and concerns that all parents face. Brimming with warmth and wisdom and free from fads and fear, this book belongs in the hands of everyone who cares for or about children.”
—Lisa Damour, PhD, author of Untangled, Under Pressure, and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers
“Imagine receiving practical wisdom based on cutting edge, solid science about how you can raise your kids to be thoughtful, emotionally balanced, compassionate and engaged citizens of the world. That’s what you have here in Aliza Pressman’s magnificent guide to being the parent you may have always wished you’d had, and that now you can be for your own children. The accessible advice, reflective tools, and every day parenting strategies you will learn in this comprehensive, research informed book will be something to turn to again and again in the privilege and journey of being a parent. Enjoy!”
—Daniel Siegel, MD, New York Times bestselling co-author, Parenting from the Inside Out; The Whole Brain Child and The Power of Showing Up ;Author, Brainstorm, Aware, and The Developing Mind
“With deep compassion, simplicity and insight, this book powerfully conveys the science behind raising good humans. It is filled with practical tools that any parent can start utilizing on their journey toward raising resilient children.”
–Dr. Shefali Tsabary, clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author
“Dr. Aliza Pressman’s excellent (and long anticipated) book, The Five Principles of Parenting, reflects her warmth, humor, depth of knowledge and no nonsense approach to raising good humans (see what I did there?). In the first half, Dr. Pressman sets up the why of the science; the second half gives parents flexible, bite sized examples of the how. I finished this book feeling more competent, empowered, and calm—how often can you say that when thinking about parenting? Thank you, Aliza—I love this book!”
–Jennifer Garner
The 5 Principles of Parenting is the one book parents can turn to for every stage of development. Dr. Aliza Pressman masterfully translates the science into the practical realities of being a parent and provides clear strategies every parent can use.”
—Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone and co-host of the "Dear Therapists" podcast
“The 5 Principles of Parenting is a must-have for every parent. In a time where there is a lot of noise and advice about parenting and child development, Dr. Aliza Pressman is a rare find. She is at once a credible expert, practical, accessible, and beloved. Respected by colleagues and parents alike, her work is impactful and powerful, influencing how this generation of parents thinks about and cultivates their children’s development. I LOVE this book!”
—Tina Payne Bryson, LCSW, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child & No-Drama Discipline, and author of The Bottom Line for Baby
Parenting is not one-size-fits-all. What Aliza does is come in and teach us how to individually handle how we raise children as well as ourselves. Her process is empowering and based not just on one person’s opinion. It seems impossible for one human to know so much research and yet her hard work has paid off for all of us. She lacks judgment and helps us all quiet the inner voices of doubt and gets us all into problem solution mode. I simply don’t know what I would do without her wisdom. She is my go-to for how we all, including ourselves, RAISE GOOD HUMANS!”
—Drew Barrymore
“This book is a gift to parents...relax, build your relationships, enjoy your parenting.”
—Alan Sroufe Professor Emeritus University of Minnesota, Author of A Compelling Idea: How We Become The Person We Are
