The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read [and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did] by Philippa Perry

informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

I’m in the process of reparenting myself and in community with many parents and their babies. The title is TRUE. I wish my parents had read this, I love how the author reshapes how we should view the emotional needs of children and how the lack of ours (the readers) being met when we were kids can lead to outcomes we didn’t want. I only wish there was more conversation about how systemically impoverished people, and other marginalized groups within society are uniquely impacted and looked down upon. Anddddd I think there could’ve been a bigger emphasis on the effects of capitalism to our social conditioning.
