Rooted in the Good Inside: Creating a Safe Haven for Your Child's Soul-and Your Own

In a world that often measures worth by achievements and obedience, Rooted in the Good Inside offers a deeply restorative approach to parenting. This book invites readers to see beyond behavior-to discover the tender emotions and unmet needs that drive every child's actions. By focusing on connection before correction, parents learn how to nurture emotional safety, create lasting trust, and build a home where love remains steady through every storm.
Rooted in the Good Inside shows how even our own childhood echoes-past hurts, old patterns-can become pathways to healing. Through compassionate guidance and practical strategies, it helps parents separate their fears from their children's feelings. The result is a space where both parent and child can grow without shame, where truth and repair can flourish, and where every member of the family learns they are more than their hardest moments.
This is not a call for perfection, but an invitation to presence. It's a reminder that no matter the conflict or chaos, every child (and every parent) carries a core of goodness within. With wisdom and warmth, this book equips parents to uncover that goodness, offering not just discipline, but dignity-and not just growth, but grace.
