Pamela Dorman Books The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read: (And Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did)

I've really enjoyed this book. It's something to have in your bag and read in the waiting room or in the car when hanging around. It's very simple English and full of enlightening examples. Nice to read concepts that although when read they feel like something we already knew, they offer an excellent reminder of how best to react/behave in the day to day situations that bring conflict and stress to parenting. Wish I had read it sooner but glad to have read it now!

This is a very constructive book specifically for all new parents and parents to be. It can change your relationship with your child. As a parent, your child raising approach will be deeply impacted and fundamentally changed after reading this book.

I am half way through the book and it really made me realize some staff from my childhood to the point that it made me cry. Easy to read. Can open some forgotten woonds so be ready for that.

It is a good book, but I already knew most of the information from social.media about gentle parenting approach. It didnt add value to me because the information (though imporyant), i knew them earlier. If you are unaware on how to deal with ur kids gently, then this is the book for u, otherwise if you follow insta posts etc.. u dnt need this

Don't wanna say much but this book is a must to read. It applies to everyday life too. You'll find reasons why the thing is the way they are and maybe helps you find the reason why you feel the way you feel. Because some feelings and thoughts are from birth and the way our parents raise you

Takes you on a different path of parenting, aligning practices with respectful parenting, and making the journey easier, which is much needed in today's world.

Easy to read and quite funny/entertaining. Please be reminded its not a parenting guide book. To put it simply, its like a life's survival book for your kids or future kids. And at least this gonna help you deal with niece or young ones and be a role model adult

Quality book however the quality of the print is disappointing.

Definitely have a better understand of how to deal with kids this days. All parents should buy this.

Pieno di esempi pratici per riflettere sulla propria infanzia e migliorare quella dei propri figli

Great book for parenting. Book arrived as described by the seller. Recommended

I thought this book was superb but more than that, after about ten minutes I felt it was already changing my behaviour! My friend who recommended it said the same. Perry lays out her methods and thoughts very gently, with lots of good examples from real life, little case studies; but it’s the insights which really help. Looking at WHY we lose our rag about certain trigger bits of parenting - going back to our own childhoods and looking at why - OH MY GOD. Brilliant. There’s also so much help here about FIXING those situations once you as the parent have cocked up. Rupture / repair, as she puts it. And also advice on how to manage your parental situations better. When your kid says look at this, LOOK AT IT. I know that sounds sort of obvious but often I will say “hang on a sec I’m making dinner” etc. I feel like from now on I will do that differently because it doesn’t take two seconds to run and look. And the response you get is ♥️ I found it readable, funny, thoughtful, insightful, but most of all INCREDIBLY useful and, very very very rare for a book, genuinely life-changing.

Really good
