Good Enough

An empathetic and revolutionary approach to parenting * Julia Samuel *As a paediatrician I am always reassuring parents that they should strive to be “good enough” and not perfect. This book says it all, I cannot recommend it highly enough. * Dr Su Laurent, Consultant Paediatrician *It’s refreshing to read something which isn’t telling you you’re a terrible parent for whatever ridiculous reason is currently trending on social media. I’m into it * Women’s Health *There is so much here that needs to be read … I feel proud and humbled to be aligned with Dr Tara’s thinking * Amiee Carlton, parenting coach *A very, very brilliant parenting book * Lorraine Candy *A book for us all trying to make sense of all the noise that inevitably infiltrates our lives about what more we can be doing as parents- keeping us on a never-ending hamster wheel of chasing this notion of perfectionism that as Tara so beautifully points out is not something to chase. I wish I had this book when I first became a mother. It is well-researched, with relatable examples that Tara uses in her writing and exudes warmth and empathy for all of us trying our best. This book serves as a wonderful guide, holding your hand through all the times you question things as a parent * Ramita Anand, tween coach and founder of the Elevate programme *Dr Porter is a clinical psychologist with a wealth of experience, up-to-date knowledge of the latest research and importantly, stacks of compassion. She is able to weave her clinical experience with the evidence base, instilling empathy and understanding from the perspective of the parent and the child. Her developmental approach gives parents the insights they need to navigate what has become a challenging landscape with her lively writing style that engages and amuses. Thoroughly recommend! * Dr Juliet Singer, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist *
