I greatly appreciate books & online resources from Dan siegel, John Gottman, and The Circle of Security. I feel that the aim of these books is to emotionally understand the dynamics of the parent child relationship, child development, and focuses on emotionally coaching both parent and child to build resilience. This happens by having a parent who realizes to nurture resilience that parent needs to be bigger, stronger, wiser, kinder and who is willing to acknowledge and accept their own emotional responses.
The books by Dan Siegel that I recommend: (both also have separate workbooks which can be used for exploring the book content).
"No Drama Discipline"
"The Whole Brain Child: 12 revolutionary strategies to nurture your child's developing mind, survive everyday parenting struggles, and help your family thrive."
John gottman has a video book program combo which can help a parent develop parenting skills called:
"Emotion Coaching: The Heart of Parenting Video program"
The Circle of security book:
"Raising a Secure Child" by Kent Hoffman, Glenn Cooper, and Bert Powell.
I wish the best to the original questioner and the individual she's offering help to!
