The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read

Many imagine raising children as walks across blooming meadows, picnics, and carefree fun. However, after the birth of a child, you realize that in fact it is around-the-clock, exhausting hard work that requires enormous commitment.

The book by well-known psychotherapist Philippa Perry answers the most important questions that moms and dads have—from pregnancy to communicating with grown children—and offers the support and understanding so badly needed. Perry urges you to get rid of the burden of the “perfect parent” and to focus on what really matters. You will start to accept and share your child’s feelings, forget manipulations, and learn to resolve conflicts. And most importantly, you’ll be able to create warm, trusting relationships with your children that will last a lifetime.
