The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (UK)

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

Renowned psychotherapist Philippa Perry begins with how you were brought up-your own psychological makeup-what pushes your buttons, and how that influences your parenting. Perry offers a big-picture look at what gets in the way of good parent-child connections. This wickedly smart, refreshing, judgment-free book explains:

• How to break negative cycles and connect better with your child, at any age

• Why some situations trigger our own emotions and what to do about it

• How to understand and work with feelings, yours and theirs

• Why you can stop worrying about being "perfect"

Full of sane and sage advice, The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read is a book for everyone who is a parent, and everyone who has a parent, too.

"Every parent should read this book, however old their child... a road map to healthy relationships. Required reading." - Daily Express London, five stars
