Description

How does a father feel the night before his son's national exams? Is it so "bad" to want to celebrate his wife's birthday and not to "support" him?

When a parent intends to do their child's homework, how much does it actually help them in school and how much does it betray the relationship they have built with their teacher?

Psychiatrist Kostas Gotzamanis has been standing by parents who want to raise free children for years, while growing themselves. His book is a modern survival guide for families and individuals, helping each reader discover for themselves that a deadlock can be an excellent opportunity.

Without didacticism, with a relaxed style, and without compromising on depth and objectivity, it is ultimately a valuable book, filled with inexhaustible humor and an infectious zest for life!

This book is for you if...

  • Do you want to experience parenting more consciously and not “automatically”
  • Are you concerned about the balance between your own needs and your child’s needs
  • Are you looking for a book that doesn’t tell you “what to do”, but helps you think and feel
  • Are you a parent, mental health professional, or educator seeking a deeper understanding of your relationship with your child

What will this book offer you?

A sensitive and thoughtful approach to parenting, far from “how-to” advice. The author shares experiences, reflections, and emotions, paving the way for parents who do not want to be perfect – but real. A book that invites you to stand beside your child, not above them.

Inside the book you will find:

  • Reflections and experiences from the life of a father-psychologist
  • Confronting our own wounds and patterns as we raise children
  • Stories about guilt, acceptance, disappointment, and deep joy
  • The importance of connection and presence, above techniques and “rights”
  • A dialogue with yourself as a parent – not a list of “rules”

The opinion of the experts

"I read it with a lump in my throat and a sense of warmth. It reminded me why I became a parent."
– Giorgos Antoniou, father & educator

Read an excerpt

“Children don’t need us to be perfect. They need us to be real. Present. Available. Not always certain – but always by their side.”
“Parenthood is a path that doesn’t only lead you toward your child. It also takes you back to yourself.”
