This was the number one recommended book for new parents from my husband's therapist group, and I can see why. It is less of a "how-to" and more of a self-reflection tool. It focuses much more at analyzing your own childhood, personality, and history, pulling out the good things and gaining awareness over the problems. It respects that every family is different, and instead of prescribing 5 steps for potty training, discusses how to stay calm in situations and what to do when you inevitably do lose your cool. I think it's a book I'll be coming back to as I start this journey.

A beautiful book on parenting, by parenting yourself.
Like all self help books, the drawback is that you need the book to accompany you long term in order to internalize it.

I'm sure this is a fine book with good info. Turns out I'm just really sensitive to anything that hints that I may be screwing up as a parent because of unresolved personal issues. On the one hand, duh. On the other hand, unless you are going to pay for my therapy or cover all my other responsibilities so that I can resolve those issues, I don't need the reminder, thanks.
