About this title

Synopsis

Discover tools and techniques for emotional regulation and managing behavior in this evidence-based parenting book designed to support overstressed parents and caregivers.

As the millennial generation moves into their parenting years, posting on social media about milestones, memories, and good times is almost second nature. Families can seem “perfect,” and some parenting methods are heralded as “the best.” However, behind closed doors, many parents and caregivers struggle greatly no matter what method or combination of approaches they use. There are points where it seems like you’ve tried everything. Maybe it even feels hopeless. That’s where A Parent’s Guide to Self-Regulation comes in.

This mental health book will demystify the concepts of dysregulation and parental self-regulation, and will normalize prioritizing these self-help skills for parents, before applying the concepts to parenting children. With this book’s step-by-step framework, you will learn how to navigate tough parenting moments, develop self-regulatory skills, and read real accounts from other parents. From addressing societal myths about dysregulated parenthood to tips on re-parenting yourself and improving emotional responses, this book will serve as both a friendly companion and a trusted source of mental health support.

A Parent’s Guide to Self-Regulation is written by Dr. Amber Thornton, a clinical psychologist and mother of two, who understands firsthand the challenges of navigating emotional regulation as a parent.
