Mostly liked it!
I found this book really helpful. It agreed with a lot of our approaches and gave us some really good ideas to help parent in the present and future!
My only downside was that I found the voices the author was putting on quite cringe worthy and annoying. Especially the children.

Best parenting advice ever!
I’ve read a few books on parenting and this one is the best! It doesn’t give you tips, tricks and distractions, it give you sound advice on how to connect with you baby, toddler, child etc. How to build a relationship with them and how to understand what they are going through.

Thé title is long but perfectly true
The reading by the author was excellent and really helped me to grasp her ideas. The many case studies translate the ‘psychoanalyst’ terminology into real life situations so you really understand how to apply her theories. I will listen to this again and again as our son grows

A good listen
I just really struggled to listen when the narrator voiced the childs point of view, it was too cringy. However, some very interesting points made throughout.

Great! it makes you think about the bigger picture
Makes you stop and think about the pointless little battles of every day life. It helps you to step back and think about what's really important overall.

Fantastic book!
First of all please don’t be put off listening to this book because of the other negative views. I’m so glad I proceeded to download the book. I can only guess that the people who have taken offence to this book are the ones who have probably had their noses put out of joint. As for the reviews whinging about her narration/irritating voice - I’m sorry but she’s trying to differentiate between female/male/child voices. I did not find it irritating in the slightest.
As for the content - amazing! She provides evidence to back up what she’s saying. She’s clear and concise. I’ve taken plenty of tips away which, when I become a parent in a few weeks, I will definitely use.
Highly recommend this book!
