About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Parenting Redefined by Kristen Cook, read by Amy Finegan

A trailblazing guide for parents wanting to fully appreciate and support their child's unique behavior and abilities

Today's parents are too often bombarded with conflicting advice and unrealistic expectations. They are left frustrated and unsure of the best way to parent their child. Kristen Cook, MD, helps parents navigate this difficult landscape with a combination of research-driven expertise and compassionate understanding.

In Parenting Redefined: A Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Child's Behavior to Help Them Thrive, Dr. Cook walks parents through the key concepts of their child's development, how it impacts the way they act, and how that knowledge should inform their parenting style. She shows parents how to determine their child's unique temperament, understand age-appropriate behavior, and recognize what needs correcting. She highlights the importance of modeling, discipline, and emotional regulation, urging parents to adjust their methods as their child grows and develops.

Filled with practical advice, actionable plans, relatable anecdotes, and the latest science, Dr. Cook presents listeners with a child-centric approach that emphasizes the need for empathy, patience, and adaptation. Parenting Redefined is an invaluable guide for anyone wanting to reduce stress, improve behavior, and foster a loving relationship with their child.

Critic Reviews

Dr. Kristen Cook's Parenting Redefined embarks on an unusual mission: to promote good parenting skills by teaching parents (simple) neuroscience. That is, how to get inside our children's heads and see the world—threatening, wondrous, however it may appear—through their eyes, rather than forcing them and their still-developing brains to adjust to our rigid, adult expectations when they are not yet equipped to. As a pediatrician and a mom, Cook demonstrates to readers how to parent the child they have, not the one they wish they did, through engaging anecdotes from her own family life and professional experience, brief exercises to try at home, and illuminating discussions of childhood neurodevelopment. Readers of this book should feel better prepared to take on the daunting tasks of daily life with kids—all of them, but especially the extra challenging ones.
