I love to read this book before falling asleep at night. It clears my head. Her parenting style is one of love and kindness and focusing on the emotional needs of kids. That style reminds me of John Gottman's Emotion Coaching.
She has taken ideas from cognitive therapy and put it into other ways of looking at it, some easier and some more complicated than plain old cognitive therapy. I like her "little fear guy" that puts negative thoughts into everyone's head.
I had not heard of the stages of bonding before. She credits the author of the stages. Proximity, sameness, loyalty and a few others. I want to explore that further.
I liked this book, her style, and her love of all children and her hope that all situations can be helped.
