  'Hugely warm, wise, hopeful and encouraging' Alain de Botton

  Every parent wants their child to be happy and every parent wants to avoid screwing them up. But how do you achieve that?

  In this absorbing, clever and funny book, renowned psychotherapist Philippa Perry tells us what really matters and what behaviour it is important to avoid - the vital dos and don'ts of parenting.

  Instead of mapping out the 'perfect' plan, Perry offers a big-picture look at the elements that lead to good parent-child relationships. This refreshing, judgement-free book will help you to:

  · Understand how your own upbringing may affect your parenting
  · Accept that you will make mistakes and learn what you can do about them
  · Break negative cycles and patterns
  · Handle your own and your child's feelings
  · Understand what different behaviours communicate

  Full of sage and sane advice, this is the book that every parent will want to read and every child will wish their parents had.

  Review

  A beautifully comprehensive look at what it might mean to be a sane and emotionally intelligent parent; hugely warm, wise, hopeful and encouraging that, with a little self-reflection and insight, we could all learn to spare the next generation a few of our own troubles (Alain de Botton)
  
  This is a kind and forgiving book that advocates kind and forgiving behaviour, to ourselves and our partners (Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Times)
  
  This book is guidance on how to bond with your children based on understanding how your own upbringing affects your parenting (Lorraine Candy, Sunday Times)
  
  Philippa Perry is the wisest coolest person (Emma Gannon)
  
  I'm not a parent. But I fucking LOVE Philippa Perry and think she's wise and brilliant so this will be amazing (Bella Mackie)
  
  Not got kids? It doesn't matter, as the wonderful psychotherapist Philippa Perry's latest book is actually about using our pasts to understand ourselves (...) it's also an excellent book for reminding yourself: life is hard and you're doing your best - so try not to beat yourself up for everyday mistakes (Stylist)
  
  EVERY parent should read this book, however old their child. In fact, any adult in a relationship should read it too. Distilled in less than 250 pages is a road map to healthy relationships. Required reading (Express)
  
  The Easter holidays were a complete joy because of your book - I feel about a trillion times more relaxed and connected as a parent and I have also found it very helpful for my sobriety and recovery. (Bryony Gordon)
