The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired

This book explains how the simple, consistent act of parents being present shapes a child’s brain and emotional health. Siegel and Bryson highlight the “Four S’s”—kids need to feel Safe, Seen, Soothed, and Secure. When parents show up in these ways, children develop resilience, confidence, and strong relationships that last a lifetime.
