'An empathetic and revolutionary approach to parenting.' Julia Samuel
'This book says it all, I cannot recommend it highly enough' Dr Su Laurent
We all beat ourselves up with ideas of perfection, but what if 'good enough' parenting is actually enough?
Parenting is in need of an update - we are living through unprecedented times and our children are struggling with their mental health. Using an engaging mix of expertise and experience, this book will help you understand what it means to be a 'good enough' parent to your children, from babyhood to adulthood. In return, you'll help instil that feeling of being 'good enough' in your child - a mindset that will give them the best chance of navigating the ups and downs of modern life.
As a mother of three and practicing psychologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, Tara Porter is intent on reducing the pressure of modern parenting advice for both parents and children. Break free from scrolling through the latest fads on Instagram and tune into Tara's wise and relatable message.
Whether your child is taking their first steps or about to fly the nest, 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.

An empathetic and revolutionary approach to parenting
As a paediatrician I am always reassuring parents that they should strive to be "good enough" and not perfect. This book says it all, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
It's refreshing to read something which isn't telling you you're a terrible parent for whatever ridiculous reason is currently trending on social media. I'm into it.
There is so much here that needs to be read . . . I feel proud and humbled to be aligned with Dr Tara's thinking.
A very, very brilliant parenting book
A book for us all trying to make sense of all the noise that inevitably infiltrates our lives about what more we can be doing as parents- keeping us on a never-ending hamster wheel of chasing this notion of perfectionism that as Tara so beautifully points out is not something to chase. I wish I had this book when I first became a mother. It is well-researched, with relatable examples that Tara uses in her writing and exudes warmth and empathy for all of us trying our best. This book serves as a wonderful guide, holding your hand through all the times you question things as a parent
Dr Porter is a clinical psychologist with a wealth of experience, up-to-date knowledge of the latest research and importantly, stacks of compassion. She is able to weave her clinical experience with the evidence base, instilling empathy and understanding from the perspective of the parent and the child. Her developmental approach gives parents the insights they need to navigate what has become a challenging landscape with her lively writing style that engages and amuses. Thoroughly recommend!
