About this listen

"Absolutely fascinating . . . I wholeheartedly recommend it. She's meeting people where they actually are . . . We all need it!" Ella Mills on The Wellness Scoop Podcast

"An incredible book . . . I have recommended it to every single one of my friends with minis. It's all about finding that 'messy middle', not trying to be a perfect parent, and she is just phenomenal in how she guides the 'modern parent' from newborn to secondary school." Chessie King

'A really useful guide. . . it's one of those books everybody should have on their shelf' Gabby Logan

'Tara Porter is your sanity-bestowing guru' Caitlin Moran

Every parent wants health and happiness for their baby growing up - but how to achieve that?
What really is 'good enough' when it comes to parenting?

Parenting is in need of an update - we are living through unprecedented times and our children are struggling with their mental health. Dr Tara Porter is intent on reducing the pressure of modern parenting advice for both parents and children.

As a mother of three and practicing psychologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, including within the NHS, Tara will show you how to find your 'good enough', an approach that allows you to define your own role, avoid parental guilt and espouse an approach of balanced, boundaried emotional support, whilst retaining your sense of sanity and self as you do so.

Discover Tara's three key principles for:

Relationship-based parenting at every age

Firm and kind parenting

Finding balance: not neglectful or perfect parenting, but somewhere in the middle
