An up-to-the-minute essential guide for parents and carers tackling the most challenging moments of raising young kids
We’ve all been there…
Mr 3 has to be peeled off your legs at day-care drop-off.
Miss 4 has a nuclear meltdown in the supermarket.
Miss 5 won’t eat any food that isn’t beige.
Mr 6 kicks his new baby brother every chance he gets.
Raising young kids can be… challenging… to say the least!
Thankfully parenting educator and mum of four Gen Muir is here to help!
Reassuring, compassionate and relatable, Little People,
Big Feelings will help you through some of the most difficult moments of parenting – from fussy eating and bedtime struggles, to school refusal and new sibling rivalry.
Gen explores what the core needs of kids are and the importance of connection and boundaries. She explains why understanding our own response to our kids’ feelings is the key to becoming the parent we want to be, and demonstrates how welcoming your child’s emotions can help them to regulate.
Little People, Big Feelings will become your go-to guide for those ‘real moments’ – the ones that challenge even the most experienced parents and carers.
Via case studies, scripts and step-by-step instructions, Gen will show you that tricky behaviour can be managed – with self-compassion and with long-term benefits to the whole family.
