From Fear To Love: Your Reading Pathway

At Trauma Informed Parenting, everything we teach is rooted in the From Fear To Love model developed by Bryan Post. Over time, that model has shaped not only our workshops, but also the books we recommend and the way we support families and schools.

This guide shows you a clear pathway to understand, apply, and embed these principles — whether at home or in the classroom.

Step 1: The Foundation

From Fear to Love – Bryan Post

https://amzn.eu/d/02qkoWMR

Start here to understand why behaviour happens. This book introduces the core principle that behaviour is rooted in fear, not defiance, and lays out the therapeutic framework that underpins our approach.

Why read it:

• Understand the theory behind fear-based behaviour

• Explore the neuroscience of stress and regulation

• Learn the foundation for lasting change

Step 2: Everyday Parenting Application

Trauma Informed Parenting in Action – Suzanne Scott

Take Bryan’s principles into real life. This book shows what trauma-informed parenting looks like day-to-day — the messy mornings, the meltdowns, the real moments we all experience.

Why read it:

• Real-life examples and practical strategies

• Scripts and language shifts for connection

• Honest reflections from lived parenting

Step 3: The Classroom Lens

Creating a Trauma Informed Classroom – Sarah Lathan
