A book that will help raise happy children in an atmosphere of love and harmony, based on the principles of self-compassion and awareness. Susan Pollack, a psychologist with more than 30 years of experience and a mother of two children, knows from personal experience that raising children is not easy. In an effort to give the best to their child, parents often enter into an endless competition for the title of “ideal mom” or “ideal dad.” They forget about themselves and, as a result, feel tired and burnt out, lash out at their children, and then blame themselves for it. This book will help you get out of such a trap and step by step build new relationships with yourself and your loved ones. A relationship filled with love, care and attention not only to loved ones, but also to oneself. Support yourself as you would a friend in a difficult life situation. Comfort yourself as you would comfort your crying baby. Say to yourself the words of sympathy that you would say to your loved one. Hug yourself tight.
