Amazing parenting book
I wish I had read this book while I was pregnant. So much useful parenting information. I have young children so hopefully I can use my new skills from the book to build the strongest, loving parent child relationship for life. Thank you for writing this book.

thought provoking, good summary
I liked how this parenting book is written in a direct, yet compassionate way, and the suggestions and case example were enlightening. I would recommend bringing an open mind to the ideas, and taking what resonates for you. It's mostly a collated summary of other people's work, accessibly presented.

More focused on younger children
Very good book. Probably more focused on parents of younger children but can be helpful for all.

Great listen for new parents!
Helped me tackle parenting in a more gentle way, a way I wanted to do but didn’t fully understand if it was okay.

Fantastic book
Lovely book. Great insight into mindfulness and self reflection and bringing awareness to projection on the parents part of patenting due to one's own insecurities. Enabling a genuine relationship between parent and child.

Useful and really funny book
I loved this book and highly recommend it. I enjoyed how it got me thinking more deeply about relationships. it’s starts by getting you to think more about yourself and what your triggers are, then how to have more empathy for your child. Full of case studies and humorous stories. I know I will be a more compassionate and thoughtful parent for listening to this.
