Description
Written by renowned psychotherapist Philippa Perry, this bestselling parenting guide explores how our own childhood experiences shape the way we parent—and how awareness can transform our relationships with our children.
Rather than offering rigid rules or “perfect parenting” formulas, the book focuses on emotional connection, empathy, and communication. Philippa Perry explains how unresolved feelings from our past can influence our reactions as parents and partners. Through practical examples and gentle guidance, she helps readers build healthier bonds based on understanding rather than control.
The book covers topics such as:
- Listening to your child without judgment
- Managing anger and emotional triggers
- Repairing mistakes instead of striving for perfection
- Creating a safe emotional environment
- Breaking negative generational patterns
Warm, practical, and deeply reassuring, this book is not just for parents of young children—it is valuable for anyone wanting to improve family relationships or understand themselves better.
