Dr. Aliza Pressman masterfully translates the science into the practical realities of being a parent and provides clear strategies every parent can use. * Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone and co-host of the ""Dear Therapists"" podcast * In a time where there is a lot of noise and advice about parenting and child development, Dr. Aliza Pressman is a rare find. She is at once a credible expert, practical, accessible, and beloved. Respected by colleagues and parents alike, her work is impactful and powerful, influencing how this generation of parents thinks about and cultivates their children's development. * Tina Payne Bryson, LCSW, PhD, co-author of multiple bestsellers, including The Whole-Brain Child, No Drama Discipline * Imagine receiving practical wisdom based on cutting edge, solid science about how you can raise your kids to be thoughtful, emotionally balanced, compassionate and engaged citizens of the world. That's what you have here. Aliza Pressman's magnificent guide... will be something to turn to again and again in the privilege and journey of being a parent. Enjoy! * Daniel Siegel, MD, New York Times bestselling co-author, Parenting from the Inside Out; The Whole Brain Child and The Power of Showing Up; Author, Brainstorm, Aware, and The Developing Mind * Dr. Aliza Pressman's excellent (and long anticipated) book, The Five Principles of Parenting, reflects her warmth, humor, depth of knowledge and no nonsense approach to raising good humans (see what I did there?). In the first half, Dr. Pressman sets up the why of the science; the second half gives parents flexible, bite sized examples of the how. I finished this book feeling more competent, empowered, and calm - how often can you say that when thinking about parenting? Thank you, Aliza - I love this book! * Jennifer Garner * What Aliza does is come in and teach us how to individually handle how we raise children as well as ourselves. Her process is empowering and based not just on one person's opinion. It seems impossible for one human to know so much research and yet her hard work has paid off for all of us.

She is my go-to for how we all, including ourselves, raise good humans. * Drew Barrymore * With deep compassion, simplicity and insight, this book powerfully conveys the science behind raising good humans.
