Book Reviews

My favourite book on parenting! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

“This is a fantastic book. It doesn’t tell you what to do as a parent, more offers reflections on how the way you are with your kids can help them to think for themselves. It is a great mixture of accessible and deep with easy to relate to first hand stories. As someone who worries about what this generation of kids will need to deal with in their lives, this feels like an important way to help equip our kids to navigate what life throws at them.”

3 reasons to read this book

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

“3 reasons to love this book.
#1 – it is accessible and laid out brilliantly. Simplicity lies on the other side of complexity and the authors have worked hard to write something that’s helpful and impactful, without much of the (often) unnecessary filler that characterises so many books.
#2 – It makes you think, rather than telling you how to think
#3 – whether we have children of our own or not, we all have a role to play in helping to raise the next generation of thinkers – there is therefore a great need for this book”
