Let go of perfect and become a transformative, positive influence in a child's life while creating your own definition of success, with help from development psychologist and podcaster Dr. Aliza Pressman. Great news: science says that getting it right about half the time is all you need to do to be the parent that your kid needs. One hundred years of developmental psychology established what really matters in parenting. Contemporary neuroscience shows that we can retrain our reactions to situations. Now, Dr. Aliza Pressman, cofounding director of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center and host of the hit podcast Rasing Good Humans, has written the book on how to combine those fields and start cutting yourself some slack as a parent. This parenting book is for parents who are tired of extreme advice and the pressure to be perfect and want a playbook for raising independent, motivated, and well-adjusted kids.
