INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but if it did, it would be this one.’ MYLEENE KLASS

‘How to Be the Grown-Up has already become my favourite parenting handbook. Every parent needs this.’ DAISY LOWE

Based on her years of experience as a clinical psychologist and her expansive social media community, Dr. Martha Deiros Collado's first book is an essential tool for every parent.

Martha understands the many modern concerns and challenges faced by parents, such as:

- How can I get my child to listen to me?

- Can I stop a tantrum?

- What can I do when my child feels sad?

- Why does my child only eat three very specific things?

- What should I do when I lose control?

With humor, boundless energy, intelligence, and warmth, Dr. Martha tackles everything from how to talk about honesty and lies, death, co-parenting, consent, gender, attachment, boundaries, and tantrums, to the smaller yet critical everyday challenges parents face. She explains why behind every dilemma are the behaviors and scenarios we learned as children, which shape the parents we become.

This deceptively simple and always compassionate guide promises to become the new 'must-have' for parents or any adult interested in what makes a healthy, happy, and confident parent and child.
