APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Listening to this self-help guide feels a bit like having a warm chat with an incredibly wise friend. British psychotherapist and advice columnist Philippa Perry has more than 20 years of experience helping people get their lives back on track, but this audiobook narrows her focus to helping those who often need guidance the most: Parents and children. Perry’s compassionate brand of attachment parenting helps us recognize the not-always-obvious ways our own upbringing could be impacting how we parent our kids—not to mention how we treat all the other important people in our lives. Her advice for forging lasting emotional bonds applies to both mothers and fathers and to children of every age, from establishing skin-on-skin contact with newborns to planning one-on-one getaways with teens. Perry’s crisp British accent and wonderfully steady tone are perfect for talking you down from parental-anxiety spirals. Best of all, you don’t even have to be a parent to benefit from listening—understanding how your parents raised you can help you become more empathetic and improve your relationships.
Customer Reviews
Loved this book!
I bought this book to listen on my way to work. I don’t have time to read so it was the best option for me and I actually listened to it twice so I could maybe pick up things I may have missed the first time.
This book helped me more than I could have ever guessed it would! I didn’t realize I had issues with my childhood and it brought that out. There are still some unanswered questions I have but all in all I finished this book wanting to share my knowledge with everyone because it aligned with my beliefs.
The author only has one child
I have my doubts on how much of these guidelines would work with multiple children families.
