Parent Book Club: Finding Your "Good Inside"

Based on the book by Dr. Becky Kennedy

Are you looking for a parenting approach that prioritizes the relationship over the power struggle? Join fellow parents for a deep dive into Dr. Becky Kennedy’s transformative book, Good Inside.

In this book club, we will explore the core principle that children (and parents!) are "Good Inside," even during their most challenging moments. Together, we will discuss practical strategies for:

• Building Resilience: Shifting from "consequences" to connection and skill-building.
• Setting Sturdy Boundaries: How to be a kind, firm leader for your child.
• Managing Parental Burnout: Handling our own "triggers" and practicing self-compassion.
• Deepening Connection: Understanding the "why" behind behaviors like tantrums, defiance, and anxiety.

Whether you have read the book cover-to-cover or are just starting, come share in honest conversation and leave with actionable tools to bring more peace to your home.
