The 5 Principles of Parenting

In a world of high-pressure parenting, Dr. Aliza Pressman offers a compassionate, science-backed approach to raising resilient, well-adjusted kids. Based on her popular podcast Raising Good Humans, this book introduces five essential principles—Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair—that empower parents to navigate challenges with confidence. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all method, Pressman helps parents align their approach with their values and their child’s unique temperament. Whether you’re parenting a toddler or a teen, The 5 Principles of Parenting provides the tools to foster strong connections, model resilience, and embrace imperfection—because raising good humans starts with reparenting ourselves.
