The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry

Oh how I wished this book was available when my children were small. I have learned much of what Philippa Perry shares in this book through my counselling training and profession but it is beautiful to see it written down in such an easy to understand and read way! It brought up regrets for me about some of the things I had done as a parent but she is very gentle and I can forgive myself and yet feel braver to face those things that my adult children may bring to me about their experiences from their childhood.

I would recommend this book for every living being as it is thought provoking and helps us to see that we have choices about how we interact and relate to others.
