Description
Being the parent of a little American kid isn't always easy! No matter how much you want to be the best mom or dad in the world, sometimes you feel overwhelmed. Or anxious. Often because you're torn between the parent you are and the one you'd like to be, between discipline and laissez-faire, between mental load and exhaustion. Do you recognize yourself? This new book by Sarah Hamel discusses topics that really affect us, parents, but which we rarely talk about: emotions, the brain and the nervous system, emotional wounds, guilt and doubts, the grief of dream parenthood vs. reality, social media and parental performance, the importance of sleep, the presence (or absence) of the village, and a whole host of other issues that influence our role. This reading could change the daily life of the whole family. The book emphasizes what is truly essential. He tells the truth with a generous dose of indulgence and no judgment. He offers brilliant ideas to help us better experience parenthood.
