The definitive guide to figuring out what’s normal for parents in the 21st century.

Am I a Normal Parent? also addresses feeling guilty about losing patience, being angry and not spending enough time with your children. You will also learn about how culture, upbringing and external influences affect the way that you parent. You will read about all this and so much more, including why most parents want to be considered “normal”.

An inspirational yardstick with which to measure and address PPA: Parenting Performance Anxiety!!!!
“Am I A Normal Parent?” is like therapy for the mind and soul. So many internal doubts we secretly keep to ourselves as parents – and are, truth be told, often too embarrassed to discuss with others – are identified and addressed in these pages filled with an uplifting blend of wisdom, humour and insight.

The author so accurately nails the anguish of wondering about the things we somehow assumed should come naturally to us: such as how much discipline is enough, or too little; coming to terms with the honest feelings of frustration that raising children – especially teenagers – can bring and much more.

The whole concept of what “normal” is, is so beautifully contemplated in this book, that by the time you finish reading it, the words on the pages have felt like hugs around every self doubt we’ve ever had in a parenting role. If you’ve ever questioned your judgement as a parent – or your inner voice as a person – you will find this book’s insight invaluable.

May it be the first of many “Am I Normal” topics Sara Dimerman offers!!!!
