Good Enough: A Framework for Modern Parents

Fed up with conflicting parenting advice? 

Troubled by the rise in mental health problems facing our children? 

Sucked in by the competitive mindset of your parenting peer group? 

Then you could be in need of a parenting reboot and a fresh perspective. Dr Tara Porter’s Good Enough will give you just that.

Using an engaging mix of expertise and experience, Dr Tara Porter, therapist, psychologist and mother of three explains what it means to be a 'good enough' parent to your children, from babyhood to adulthood, illustrating all the benefits the approach brings.

Good Enough is about finding balance, the messy middle in the rich experience of parenting. It is about building a strong and solid bond with your little one that sees you, and them, through the tough times. It pushes back on the insidious culture of perfectionism, on our constant strife for high achievement and our pre-occupation, often driven by social media, with unproven parenting ideologies.

Good Enough allows you to define your own role, to escape the guilt trap of not being enough and it shows you how to provide balanced, boundaried, emotional support to your children that will set you in good stead for a strong relationship for life.
