A Different Kind of Parenting

There are so many parents navigating thorny educational systems who might feel exhausted, misunderstood, unheard, frustrated, alone and much more. This book speaks to some of those parents. It is written in an accessible and engaging way by a parent for parents to offer them a much needed sense of solidarity, support, and understanding. -- Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist, Trainer, and Author of multiple books.
I adore Eliza's words, especially paired with her illustrations which offer a glimpse into the intricate dynamics of raising sensitive children in the modern world. She simplifies grand concepts allowing them to land directly into my heart. All of her books inspire this. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the families of the world. -- Kirsten M. Cobabe, MSW, Family Coach, Teen Whisperer
This is the perfect book for parents who cannot get The System to listen them -- or to their child. Eliza Fricker is the companion you'll want if you find yourself walking this exasperating journey. A story told with moving words, gripping drawings, and lashings of compassion. -- Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist
Eliza condenses the most powerful feelings into such simple words and images. She speaks to so many parents who have experienced the falling apart and the putting back together of their child (and themselves). And, most of all, she encourages us to have faith in ourselves, to trust our instincts and to look for connection. An honest, inspiring book that I hope will be both a support to parents as well as a call-to-arms for professionals. -- Dr Emma Svanberg, Clinical Psychologist and author of Parenting For Humans
