@BlakeHamiltonCA @VeroniqueB99 💯 It should be taught to kids in school. Adults could benefit too. Hugely.

I was never taught any of this, either. My first exposure was reading parenting books - "Parenting from the Inside Out" was a big eye-opener for me. It would be useful even for a non-parent, as it focuses on how we develop, and how things have a funny way of lingering from one generation to the next (and how to recognize and stop it!)

Oh no no sorry I misunderstood you. I can't think of books other than psych books but this is something parents teach (or should teach) kids...

@VeroniqueB99 @raindrops_and_roses @BlakeHamiltonCA Yeah so it happened to me too. But that happens to be very hard to share out of context. And during immigration it seems to break down. But what psych books did you use to learn?

Anything with "emotional regulation" (so early childhood) ...

If you don't mind profanity, I found Faith Harper's book, Coping Skills, to be a good resource. Her style isn't for everyone though
