From the therapist

Read this guide as a set of relationships rather than problems: you and your child, the children with each other, you and your co-parent, and the wider family around all of it. Choose the relationship under most strain and start there.

If you're overwhelmed, start here

  1. 01

    Siblings Without Rivalry(find this book on Amazon, opens in a new tab)

    Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish

  2. 02

    The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read(find this book on Amazon, opens in a new tab)

    Philippa Perry

  3. 03

    Hold On to Your Kids(find this book on Amazon, opens in a new tab)

    Gordon Neufeld & Gabor Maté

If today is not the day for a reading list: take the three Start Here picks, ignore everything else, and come back in a month.
