A supportive, practical guide to help parents learn to control their emotions, overcome guilt, and raise an emotionally healthy child.
You worry about your children and want to see them happy and prosperous. However, the stress level in your life is off the charts, and sometimes it is difficult to cope with emotions. In addition, you believe that you should be the perfect parent, and blame yourself for not being so...
Sarah Ockwell-Smith, a psychologist with 20 years of experience in counseling, a doula and a mother of four, will tell you why it’s okay to be “good enough” and not a perfect parent. Summarizing her experience and the results of the latest research, the author will show where emotions come from and how they affect children, and advice and practical exercises will help you get rid of guilt, improve communication, become calmer and more confident and raise the same child.
In this support guide you will learn:
- how guilt prevents you from raising children better;
- why parents need relief;
- why it is important to realize that you are under pressure;
- how to cope with life's crises and find your footing;
- what are the four physiological aspects of calmer parenting;
- Why all parents need a support network (and how to let go of an environment if you realize it's not right for you).
