'A beautiful heartfelt book that invites parents to take a breath and look within. So often our own unhealed wounds show up in our parenting, often in the moments that matter most. Lisa's book gives us both the language and the practical tools to pause, to wonder, and to respond from love rather than fear. The question 'Am I responding to the child in front of me or reacting from the child within me?' is one every parent needs to ask themselves daily. This book shows you how.'
Lael Stone - Author, speaker, educator

'Finally, a parenting book that honours not only the children we raise but also the child within us. With wisdom, humour, and compassion, Lisa reminds us that parenting is as much about tending to our own shame, confusion, and vulnerability as it is about guiding our kids. By inviting us to parent ourselves first, she offers nothing short of a parenting revolution, one rooted in acceptance, curiosity, and love.'
Sabina Read - Psychologist, speaker, facilitator, life sherpa, parent

'Wow. Just... wow. It really is something. For the first time, I could acknowledge what I need to do differently without feeling like a horrible parent. Lisa's simple, practical steps reassured me that perfection isn't the goal, connection is. This is what I've been crying out for as a parent.'
Sheridan - Mum of three, occupational therapist

'I am becoming the parent I needed as a child, one rupture and repair at a time. Lisa's focus on curiosity and compassion has been a gamechanger in my home.'
Kelly - Mum of three, scientist

'What resonated most is Lisa's reminder that our kids don't need perfect parents; they need real ones. This book flips the script beautifully with warmth, hope, and practical wisdom every parent will want on their bedside table.'
Emma - Mum of four, coach

'Lisa helped me see that being present matters more than getting it right. This book gave me permission to be human with my kids - and the tools to repair when I mess up.'
Brad - Dad of two, social worker
