Reviews
A comprehensive, compassionate book for anyone whose parenting journey hasn't gone as expected. Robyn balances warmth with practical, achievable guidance-holding space for both child and adult. A book you'll return to again and again.
Compassionate, practical, and refreshingly human. Robyn translates complex brain science into accessible strategies and meaningful insight. Her framework of playfulness as 'the vulnerability of delight' reminds parents that healing doesn't require perfection-it begins with curiosity and a willingness to learn alongside their children.
Gobbel does it again!! Her spectacular new guide unveils a treasure trove of heart-healing reflections and exercises-balancing warmth with wisdom, sensitivity with neuroscience, humility with humor. Her comforting, signature style will reassure any stressed human: yes, we can do this.
If you've ever finished a parenting book wondering, 'How do I translate this to real life?'-this is the answer. Robyn helps you integrate these concepts into how you think, feel, and respond, one page at a time.
Parents, grandparents, aunties, teachers-run toward this book, pencil and crayons in hand. You'll find a guide who will settle and gentle the process of raising kids in tough circumstances.
This guided journal beautifully brings Robyn's neuroscience and wisdom to life, helping caregivers translate insight into action. Through thoughtful reflection, readers will deepen connection, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful opportunities for healing and growth for the whole family.
This guided journal is an operating manual for the nervous system-and yet it does something even more remarkable than explain nervous system science. It embodies it. As you move through these pages, you experience the very safety, scaffolding, and attunement that Robyn is teaching you to offer your child.
This guided journal takes the life-changing concepts from Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors and moves them from understanding into practice. It doesn't just teach a new way of thinking-it cultivates a new way of seeing ourselves and the children we love."
This is the kind of book you want to put in everybody's bag. It makes space for grown-ups' feelings-fatigue, overwhelm, stress-without ever compromising on advocating for children. It's accessible, realistic, practical, non-judgmental. And it rewires the voice inside your head.
Yes, yes, yes!! Robyn has created a space for adults to learn, think, reflect, and grow-not just as caregivers, but as humans who need safety and support themselves. This journal helps you heal, understand yourself, and support your own nervous system."
