What to expect
"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.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
