"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

Reader reviews:

'We all know it's impossible to be perfect: perfect children, perfect parents but still we chase the impossible. This book says to stop trying to be perfect. We just need to be good enough. It explains clearly how to do it at different stages of a child's life. The book will work for parents, childcare and teaching professionals alike.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Porter honestly talks about her own parenting and professional expertise. She does not shy away from calling out the inconsistencies, soullessness or the unrealistic expectations of many parenting tips, and common practices in our modern world. I enjoyed her focus on love, support, joy, kindness and firmness, being good enough and acceptance of change . . . Very strong and engaging book that makes you feel okay to be good enough.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐©2025 Dr Tara Porter

An empathetic and revolutionary approach to parenting
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.
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.
There is so much here that needs to be read . . . I feel proud and humbled to be aligned with Dr Tara's thinking.
A very, very brilliant parenting book
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
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!

Brilliant book, really helpful, especially on teen years! Advice on being in the background but present if needed.

The title of this really stood out because there’s too much pressure on parents.

Great, very sensible parenting book. Not afraid to tell you when there actually aren’t any answers but gives you the confidence and good advice and guidelines to think around. Wish I’d read it when the kids were younger.

Best parenting book I’ve read.
