Reframed

For Stuart Shanker, the possibility of a truly just and free society begins with how we see and nurture our children.

Shanker is renowned for using cutting-edge neuroscience to help children feel happy and think clearly by better regulating themselves. In his new book, *Reframed,* Shanker explores self-regulation in wider, social terms. Whereas his two previous books, *Calm, Alert, and Learning* and *Self-Reg* , were written for educators and parents, *Reframed* , the final book in the trilogy, unpacks the unique science and conceptual practices that are the very lifeblood of Self-Reg, making it an accessible read for new Self-Reggers.

*Reframed* is grounded in the three basic principles of Shanker Self-Reg?:

\- There is no such thing as a bad, lazy, or stupid kid.

\- All people can learn to self-regulate in ways that promote rather than constrict growth.

\- There is no such thing as a "fixed outcome": trajectories can always be changed, at any point in the lifespan, if only we have the right knowledge and tools.

Only a society that embraces these principles and strives to practice them, argues Shanker, can become a truly just society. The paradigm revolution presented in *Reframed* not only ** helps us understand the harrowing time we are living through, but inspires a profound sense of hope for the future. Shanker shows us how to build a compassionate society, one mind at a time.
