## Description

Informative, inspiring, and enlightening, Becoming the Parent You Want to Be provides parents with the building blocks they need to discover their own parenting philosophy and develop effective parenting strategies. Through in-depth information, practical suggestions, and many lively first-person stories, the authors address the many dilemmas and joys that the parent of young children encounter and demonstrate a range of solutions to the major issues that arise in the raising of babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Full of warmth, clarity, humor, and respect, Becoming the Parent You Want to Be gives parents permission to be human: to question, to learn, to make mistakes, to struggle and to grow, and, most of all, to have fun with their children.

Review: Best parenting book ever! - I gift it again and again. Focuses on fulfilling needs and building trust for strong relationships and families.
Review: Excellent, thorough. A parenting must-have - I'm extremely happy with this book! I'm reading it little by little and I know I will get back to it many times. The authors start with the premise that there's no one-fits-all advise or theory for successful parenting because each parent comes with a complex and huge cultural and personal background. The guidance from this book is therefore very respectful to the diversity and individuality of each parent; and offers excellent principles, examples and small but helpful reflexion questions at the end of every key topic. I can't recommend it enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best parenting book ever!
*by M***N on October 23, 2025*

I gift it again and again. Focuses on fulfilling needs and building trust for strong relationships and families.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, thorough. A parenting must-have
*by V***A on April 29, 2018*

I'm extremely happy with this book! I'm reading it little by little and I know I will get back to it many times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who said kids don't come with a MANUAL?
*by T***A on May 12, 2013*

As a mother to 3 young children, this book has not left my bedside. Whether it's tantrums, conflict resolution, or managing the balancing act, one look through the index gives me the page number(s) for the answers that I seek and steps to handle the situation in a way I will be proud of. Frustration turns to understanding and a feeling of competence. I love that this book explains what is going on from our children's perspective and their developmental stages, and has practical testimonials of other parents (so we know we are not alone!). This book has given me the tools I need to navigate the difficult situations with my kids and to "become the parent I want to be." I have bought at least 3 copies of this book for friends who are expecting and recommend this book before any other to new parents.
