The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read [and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did] by Philippa Perry
4.0
Helpful but difficult. Reminds me of things I’m bad at and need to be good at to be a good parent: flexible and letting things go. I’m already terrified of the day my son smokes his first cigarette because I am personally so against it and imagining having to be all “cool calm and collected” freaks me out. Hopefully I have 18 years until that happens to work on myself as a mom.
However, I appreciate the reminders to view your child as a PERSON at all stages of their life and taking them and their feelings seriously. It seems so contrary to how we grew up or have seen others parent because of being scared of what others think of our child has a meltdown in the store. But I hope I can practice these things as my own child gets older.
