A bright, interesting and kindness-filled book from the author of the international bestseller “How to stop snapping at your children”, which will support a parent and help him believe in himself.

If you think that you are a bad parent, - you are not alone. You don’t have the patience to play the same games, you don’t have time to cook homemade dinners every day, you just can’t get your child to potty train – and it seems like a failure. “Why do others succeed, but I don’t?” - almost everyone who raises children probably thought this at least once in their lives.

In fact, no one knows what it means to be a good dad or a good mom. No one is immune from mistakes, and mistakes, whatever they may be, are not a sign that you are not coping. Carla Naumburg, Ph.D., parenting expert, wrote a book on how to overcome bad parent syndrome.

This book will help parents stop feeling guilty and thinking that they are not coping with their responsibilities. The author offers a simple but vital practice of self-compassion that will help you:

– think clearly;

– overcome difficult emotions;

– strengthen your relationship with your children ;

– calm the inner voice;

– pacify fears and feelings of guilt;

– get rid of self-destructive thinking;

– relate to yourself and your children with kindness and patience;

- feel confident and calm.

Stories from the life of the author and her patients make the book accessible and understandable to the reader.
