Reseñas de la Crítica

The psychotherapist’s guide to raising happy, healthy children is one of the most practical and genuinely useful books out there. Warm and judgement-free, every parent should read this book

It is like a letter from a wise friend who happens to have done years of research (...) I am grateful for it

Made me think about me and who I am and my parents and who they are and maybe, hopefully, one day what sort of parent I might strive to be

I've had the most wonderful feedback from this episode. People stopping me on the street to say how much they've love the book's advice. Philippa's wisdom and delivery has resonated with many parents out there. I can't thank her enough for her time and energy (Fearne Cotton)

I don't have kids but [this book] is a fascinating read on the emotional baggage we all carry

The Easter holidays were a complete joy because of your book - I feel about a trillion times more relaxed and connected as a parent and I have also found it very helpful for my sobriety and recovery

A fascinating insight into how the way you were brought up impacts your relationships with your children and partner, and how to manage the needs of children while showing compassion to yourself

EVERY parent should read this book, however old their child. In fact, any adult in a relationship should read it too. Distilled in less than 250 pages is a road map to healthy relationships. Required reading

Not got kids? It doesn't matter, as the wonderful psychotherapist Philippa Perry's latest book is actually about using our pasts to understand ourselves (...) it's also an excellent book for reminding yourself: life is hard and you're doing your best - so try not to beat yourself up for everyday mistakes

So clear and true ... can't stop recommending it to people ... helpful for all relationships in life, not just parent-child

Bible of parenting

The book is so informative I plan on listening to it every couple of months to relearn from it as I navigate parenthood.

The title says it all

I took so much from this book, from the opening chapter through the end credits, that I owe a great debt to the author for the improvements in relationship my son and I will maintain for life. If you only hear one parenting book make it this one.

Great book but at times annoying performance

This books has given me so much food for thought but I really wish the author/narrator had refrained from ‘doing’ the children’s voices. So annoying!

Excellent parenting book

For me, this is one of the best books on parenting that I’ve read, it was enlightening!

It's useful if this is your first parenting book

It's a very easy read that you can easily manage to listen to on the go. The summary at the end is extremely helpful. The advice itself makes sense, but except for a few exceptions nothing totally new to me. But I have already read 2-3 parenting books that focus on the ideas of "listening to and accepting your child's feelings without judgement", and "be authentic by not lying to your child". Overall a good book though.
