Description

How to Be a Calm Parent is part self-help book, part parenting book; aimed at parents who know that they need to be calmer to raise well adjusted, happy children, but who struggle with their own emotions and stress levels.

How to Be a Calm Parent will include twelve chapters, each with important takeaway messages and exercises for parents to practice, to make a real and tangible change in their parenting.

Topics the book will cover include: Understanding your triggers and making peace with your own childhood. Why it's OK to be 'good enough' and why you should embrace your own failures. Guilt and why it gets in our way of better parenting The mental load of parenting - why we need to understand the pressure and share it more. Why 'busy' is not a badge to aim for Communicating with partners and wider family - why your adult relationships impact those with your child. Why all parents need a support network (and how to let them go if you find yourself in one that's not for you). Balancing work and home life How to tackle life transitions with grace and ease. The four physiological corners of calmer parenting - eating well, sleeping well, moving well and resting well. Self-kindness - why the pressure of self-care can be so damaging and why we need a new approach. How to not throw your own tantrums and what to do if you do.
