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 of more than 30 years and a mom of two, knows first-hand that raising children isn't easy. In an effort to give a child the best, parents often enter an endless competition for the title of "perfect mom" or "perfect dad." They forget about themselves and as a result feel tired and burned out, break into children, and then scold themselves for it. This book will help you get out of a similar trap and step by step build new relationships with yourself and your loved ones. Relationships filled with love, care and attention not only to relatives, but also to oneself. Support yourself as you would support a friend in a difficult life situation. Comfort yourself as you would comfort your crying toddler. Tell yourself those words of sympathy that you would say to your beloved. Embrace yourself tighter.
