The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did)

This book explores the nature of our relationships with our children, what can hinder a strong connection and what helps to build and strengthen it.

Parent-child relationships are among the most powerful in our lives, yet they can often go off course, making it hard to reconnect.
