Overview

Intense emotions-whether your own or your child's-can make it incredibly difficult to be the parent you want to be. This book is designed to help you become a more emotionally agile parent so you can better navigate whatever emotional storms you inevitably encounter. Emotion-Savvy Parenting is an empowering, science-informed guide for breaking free of the hold that unwanted emotions so often have over parents. With compassion and wit, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Alissa Jerud draws on decades of research to present a refreshing, theory-driven approach that encourages parents to focus on changing the only behaviors they truly have control over: their own. Rooted in highly effective, cognitive-behavioral strategies and a respectful, relationship-centered stance, her ART (Accept, Regulate, and Tolerate) framework enables parents to relate more skillfully to challenging emotions, model invaluable lessons, connect more deeply with their kids, and enjoy parenting more. Packed with real-life examples and step-by-step techniques, this book supports parents of infants to teens in creating a more harmonious home by becoming their ideal, most emotionally adept selves. It also serves as a valuable resource for educators and mental health professionals seeking to help lighten the heavy load of parenthood.

Author Information

With a voice that is hopeful, relatable, and warm, Emily Norman sounds like the girl next door who wears her heart on her sleeve. She particularly enjoys narrating books with big feelings, whether people are falling in love, being chased down a back alley, or braving the halls of their high school. She has a diverse acting background, including roles in theater, film, opera, and musical theater, and she enjoys bringing elements of all her training into her narration. With college degrees in philosophy and vocal performance, she has an eye for text analysis and an ear for giving a nuanced performance with distinct, authentic characters. When she's out of the booth, she's probably having a dance party in the kitchen with her four young kids or having a cuppa tea with her British husband.
