Such a great book for all families, even families without "explosive" kids. It's a perfect pairing for gentle parenting, even though those words aren't found in the book.

The one part I felt was lacking was how parents need to understand their own childhood wounds/trauma and help from that before they can truly do this well. He mentioned it in an off-hand way, but being on a healing journey myself, it's so imperative for every parent to reflect and heal (even if you had a good childhood!).
