MED KÄNLSA FÖR BARNS SJÄLVKÄNSLA

By Petra Krantz Lindgren

This is a parenting book. (There are translations, though non to English as far as I know.) The title is roughly “With a sense of the child’s sense of self”. It focuses on connection and collaboration. This book is about changing yourself as a parent, not about managing your child.

I read parenting books, in this “gentle parenting” style, to become a better parent. But also to become a better human.

I miss good books about the humanity in adults. We don’t talk about ourselves as having needs and being vulnerable, unless when something is wrong. So I cheat by reading parenting books, and then use what I learn there on everyone.
