The Golden Ratio of Parenting: How to Raise a Healthy Child and Not Lose Yourself

Practicing psychologists will help you understand the complex aspects of child-parent relationships and overcome crises while staying true to yourself. This book is about how to become the best parent for your child without losing harmony and calm.

Every parent has, at least once, caught themselves thinking: “What if I’m doing something wrong?” Everyone has doubted their actions, sometimes blamed themselves for fatigue, felt insufficiently good as a mother or not involved enough as a father. And yet parenting is an amazing time filled with love, where there is room for harmony and calm.

Elena Zhurek, a practicing family psychologist and a lecturer at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis, and Maria Ivanova, a practicing psychologist and writer, will help you work through the most difficult aspects of child-parent relationships. Learn what childhood crises may await you on the path of parenting, how to overcome them successfully, and still remain yourself, so you can become the best parent for your child.

This book contains additional material in the form of a PDF file that you can download on the audiobook page on the website after purchasing it.
