Reconnected Parenting: Healing the Whole Family Nervous System Through Regulation, Breath Work, and Play Therapy

By Emma Johnston & Eleanor Mann

"Prepare to see your life change for the better. Exactly what every family needs! One of the best parenting books." —  Reader

"A must read for all parents. It is grounded in love, practical advice, and at the same time shifts your world view and daily life..." —  Reader

Reconnected Parenting is a practical guide for parents who know what they want to do differently, but find it difficult to respond that way when stress takes over. Exploring the nervous system, breath and our automatic reactions, the book helps parents understand what happens in those challenging moments and why it can be so hard to access the tools they already know.

Drawing on research and an understanding of how the nervous system shapes our responses, Reconnected Parenting offers a way to work with these reactions rather than simply trying to override them. It supports parents to build greater awareness of their own responses, make meaningful changes over time, and create more connection, ease and enjoyment in family life.
