Aimed at parents, educators, and all adults invested in individual well-being, this revised and expanded edition of Reframed is presented in a reader-friendly format, with engaging vignettes that appeal to a wider audience.

Employing the same proven techniques from his earlier volumes, Calm, Alert, and Learning and Self-Reg, Shanker delves into the science and principles behind the Shanker Self-Reg method, emphasizing that understanding our own brains is the key to understanding one another and rethinking black-and-white labels such as “bad,” “lazy,” and “stupid.” He argues that everyone has the capacity to self-regulate in ways that foster growth and that life trajectories can shift at any point with the right tools. For Shanker, the foundation of a just and free society begins with how we understand and nurture ourselves as well as our children.

In an era marked by social challenges, Reframed not only illuminates the complexities of the modern world but also inspires hope for a better future. This essential work equips readers with the knowledge and tools to help build a more compassionate society, one mind at a time.
