About this listen

Children of all ages are grappling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and behavioural issues and it can take years to see an expert who can help them.

Dr Billy Garvey is a senior specialist at one of the world's biggest and most prestigious paediatric hospitals. With over twenty years' experience working with families, he wants to reassure parents that there is no such thing as a bad child and that much of what he tells families in clinic is based on the same principles he outlines in this book. Regardless of whether you have a young child or a teen on the brink of adulthood, by understanding the foundations of good mental health you will be able to help them to thrive at any stage in their development.

An honest, compassionate, astute and most of all kind approach to the most imporant gig of all, parenthood.

Thankyou Dr Billy Garvey, what you share with us in this book gives me hope that I can raise a good citizen of this planet. Parenthood seems so daunting when you have this precious sweet innocent little baby and I've been terrified of all the ways I might ruin him, but your insight and knowledge is helping me have confidence, mostly that my natural instincts, and not cultural/societal pressures, are the right way to go about raising my little boy. I wish this book was a prerequisite to everyone and anyone becoming and being a parent. p.s. love Pop Culture Parenting too, please keep helping us get this gig right!

A must read parenting book

One of the best parenting books I’ve come across. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to develop a deeper connection with their kids. Dr Billy Garvey is a wealth of knowledge, I’ll definitely be giving this book a second listen.
