About this listen

"Dan Siegel and Mary Hartzell have quite deftly managed to translate highly complex neuroscientific and psychological matters into lay strategies for effective parenting." (Marilyn B. Benoit, M.D., former president, American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry).

"Parenting from the Inside Out is a must-have for any parent…I gave a friend of mine a copy and she said, 'This audiobook is changing my life. I like my kids again.'" (Gwyneth Paltrow, Goop.com).

"Together Siegel and Hartzell delicately peel back the many layers of parenting to reveal the pure nature of the relationship at its core." (Neal Halfon, M.D., MPH, professor of pediatrics, UCLA; director, UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities, and coeditor, Child Rearing in America).

In this best-selling classic, child psychiatrist and coauthor of The Whole Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell explore the extent to which our childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Illuminating important research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel and Hartzell explain how the parent-child relationship directly affects brain development, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories to help them raise compassionate and resilient children.

Drawing on Siegel's cutting-edge research on how communication influences brain development with Hartzell's more than forty years' experience as a child development specialist and parent educator, Parenting from the Inside Out guides parents through creating the necessary foundations for loving and secure relationships with their children.

Disclaimer: This audiobook of Parenting from the Inside Out includes the new preface written by the authors' for the tenth anniversary edition. However, the audiobook is based upon the first edition of the work published in 2003, not the updated and revised edition of the audiobook.

Great information

The information in this book is very valuable and will be very helpful. I did find that the voices of the authors were soothing, but that also made it hard to stay on track sometimes when listening.

Very interesting read

As a lot of books by Daniel Seigel, this book is so helpful. It makes you grow as a person and a parent. It introduces key concepts in attachment theory. It can talk about concepts that are relevant from birth. Totally recommend.

Content is sooo helpful and hopeful!

This book is great and I'm so glad I read it all. At the beginning, the authors' rather flat reading tone almost discouraged me but, once I learned to listen through that and some of the rather technical details which sometimes felt dry, I came to really love it. I literally was stopping to add clips and make notes at 5 minutes intervals, by the end. Thanks for a very helpful & healing book. I'm sure I'll return to it many times as my kids get older and different parts of my self and past start to reveal themselves. So glad I have all the exercises you provided to return to at appropriate intervals!

Great book but narrators were monotone, this would be 5/5

This is a great book, a lot of great information. Unfortunately, the narrating was monotone and not engaging.
