The Perfect Child

Parenting is hard. But parenting is not really about children. Many of the problems we face as parents occur because we don't understand how to take care of our own wellbeing, nor how to resolve the pain and trauma of our past. Learning to have compassion for ourselves and finding the tools to practice self-care can transform parenting from a frustrating exercise in self-will to the transcendent experience it's meant to be. This book is the story of one family's parent-child struggle to find happiness and fulfillment, with insights into parenting and childhood development which can help everyone to become a better parent.
