Pam Leo author of Connection Parenting

In What Young Children Need You to Know, Bridgett Millers beautiful storytelling illustrates the everyday influence we have on our children. She reminds us that while we do not have control over who our children become, the relationship we build with them influences their sense of security and confidence, as well as their ability to think critically, responsibly, and compassionately about themselves, others, and the world around them. As I read Bridgetts book, I felt she understood the myriad of emotions, fears, and imperfections I experience as a mother. And while she acknowledges these hardships, she also gently holds me accountable to my role as the adult to soften my responses to my child and to myself, because from that softening comes strength and power. Bridgett acknowledges that parenting is hard, that were going to be imperfect, and that when we better understand our children we are able to move forward from a place of love and understanding.
