Now from Starborn Press

A parenting book that uses actual science.

No fluff, no toxic positivity. Just evidence-based tools for the daily stuff — tantrums, bedtime, sibling fights, the breakfast that ended in tears.

It’s not about labeling kids as ‘manipulative’ or ‘difficult.’ It’s about understanding the patterns underneath what they do.
Dr. Richard M. Kubina Jr., from chapter one
