An A-Z of how to take care of YOU - survival strategies and solutions to 70 common challenges faced by therapeutic parents

Surviving therapeutic parenting can almost be as easy as A,B,C with this popular A-Z style survival guide.

Funny and warm, this survival guide is like a hug from another parent when you need it most.

'This book is your hot flask of tea or coffee, and a cosy blanket which will keep you warm, safe and well on your journey, ensuring you reach the other side, mentally and physically well.'


So, you want to help your child by therapeutic parenting, but how are YOU?

This easy-to-follow, dip-in dip-out resource addresses common challenges and feelings experienced by therapeutic parents and offers 80 practical strategies to help you cope and survive. Bestselling parenting author Sarah Naish writes with humour and compassion, sharing her personal and professional experiences covering all of the essentials: self-maintenance, coping with isolation and rejection, scheduling holidays and, of course, the therapeutic importance of cake!

Think you don't have the time or inclination for a bit of 'self-care'? This book will save time, save energy and help solve your problems - a 'must have' for all therapeutic parents.

As an adopter myself, living and breathing trauma, this book offers a lifeline for essential maintenance to sustain us for the long haul. It made me laugh out loud, reminding me that the 'crazy universe' I now inhabit is not such an isolating experience, despite it sometimes feeling that way. -- Louise Michelle Bombèr, adoptive parent, author and Director of TouchBase Centre
