Let go of perfect and become a transformative, positive influence in a child’s life while creating your own definition of success from developmental psychologist and podcaster Dr. Aliza Pressman.

“My go-to for how we all raise good humans, including ourselves!” —Drew Barrymore

In the age of high-pressure parenting, when so many of us feel like we’ve got to get everything exactly right the first time, Dr. Aliza Pressman is the compassionate, reassuring expert we all need—and the one whose advice we can all use. Already beloved by listeners of hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair.

The 5 Principles of Parenting doesn’t presume to tell you how to parent with “my way is right” advice because the science is clear: There’s no one “right” way to raise good humans. No matter how you were raised, how your coparent behaves, or how your kids have been parented up until now, you can start using The 5 Principles of Parenting to chart a manageable course for raising good humans that’s aligned with your own values and with your children’s unique temperaments. Whether you're in the trenches with a toddler or a tween (because spoiler alert: the tantrums of childhood mirror the tantrums of adolescence), it’s never too late to learn to use these 5 principles to reparent yourself and help your kids build the resilience they need to thrive. Through practice and normalizing imperfection, along the way you’ll discover the person you’re ultimately raising is yourself. By becoming more intentional people, we become better parents. By becoming better parents, we become better people. Let’s get started.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I’ve read a lot of parenting books over the years while raising 3 kids, and this by far has been the most helpful read! So many great tools and tips and advice. From “all emotions are welcome but all behaviors are not” to “there’s not a bear chasing me” to reflection, to it’s never too late to apologize and so much more. I highly recommend! I’ll be coming back to this book for refreshers and reminders. So good!

The best parenting book!!

As a mom of 4 children spread from 4 to 17 years old this book manages to be intelligent, helpful, loving, realistic and not annoying!
She has a grasp on actual kids and actual parents and provided a path to walk gracefully through the beautiful journey of parenting!
Thank you :)

I absolutely loved this audiobook! The information provided in this book is invaluable to parents in my opinion. I loved the mindful exercises within this book & enjoyed the thought provoking questions the author asked of us. Phenomenal.

I love how encouraging this book is. I also loved the use of different meditation techniques. As a mom of 3 year old twin boys, I often feel like I am getting this parenting thing all wrong. I really appreciated the positive approach this book took. It makes me feel like I’m a good parent and when I feel that way I feel like I parent better.

An encouraging approach to parenting advice

I really enjoyed listening to this book and taking in all that I can. I will have to listen again to really take it all in since it’s a lot of information.

Such great insight

Really good content and flow. Well performed. Some great basics and concepts. Very « mom » oriented to the extreme so not as balanced for both parents or single fathers (for example). The mindfulness « breaks » were too much -for me- as I already have practices in that area. But excellent. Ok overall.

Really good content and structure.

It didn't feel like it taught me how to be a parent or how to react when my child is acting up. it just taught me how to breathe through my nose.
