The Best in Our Life. 45 Gentle Tips: from Vaccinations and Child's Sleep Schedule to Parents' Emotional Health

“Children do not need miracle parents or gods. They don’t care if their father is a doctor, a lawyer, a waiter, or unemployed. Children want their mom and dad to be with them, to play, to explain things to them,... to tell stories, to speak in a language they understand.”

Lucia Galan Bertrand wrote this book with immense love for children — both her own and the little patients who visit her office daily. Her own blog with a million-strong audience and her practice in a medical center help her notice that modern parents are concerned not only with their child's physical development but also their mental well-being.

Lucia will teach you:
- to understand when to consult a doctor and when to just treat at home;
- to set boundaries without going overboard;
- not to panic during toddler tantrums and to negotiate with older children;
- to separate important thoughts from imagined worries;
- to develop emotional intelligence — your own and your children's;
- to listen to your intuition and not to blame yourself for mistakes.

Lucia always cares about the emotional state of parents during her sessions, and she does the same in this book: offering emotional support and sharing cases from her practice.

You will find a very gentle text celebrating the joy of life, the happiness of discoveries, the ability to endure where it is difficult, and accepting oneself as an imperfect yet wonderful parent.
