and for younger kids I loved this one: m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z...

Thank you! I appreciate that, Celeste.

Be warned, there's some fairly disturbing content that's hard to read at times, but I think it also is helpful in that it's really getting into some of our worst fears about raising boys. I appreciate how honest and introspective the author is, examine her beliefs from different angles.

I love Lisa Damour’s books. And she gives great interviews too on her info. She just came out with The Emotional Lives of Teenagers (also on my shelf). #parentingbooks #booksky

Yes! @ronlieber.bsky.social! He’s on my shelf too (and in this stack on my side desk for reading)— The Price You Pay for College. #parentingbooks #booksky

It really continues a conversation begun in "The Coddling of the American Mind" (Which I also highly recommend) about the harms of social media and un-fettered access to the internet especially for children and teens.

Great, thanks. And I imagine regarding both boys and girls (vs just girls like Lisa Damour’s Under Pressure).

#Mothers (N=40) & #fathers (N=48) played “Cyberball” ostensibly with their own & an unrelated #child during #fMRI scanning. We found both similarities & differences, the latter also related to #ParentalInvolvement and #anxious / heightened #parenting. 👉🏻https://pvrticka.com/attachment/care-studies/

I lay in bed with my girl until she falls asleep and then watch all the Reels on silent as my reward for a hard day’s work. When I think she’s asleep, I whisper, “Are you asleep?” Risky business, but if she doesn’t answer, I treat myself to one click of volume. #momlife #parenting #normalizenormal
