I cannot believe it A book I co-wrote — The Perfectly Imperfect Family, with the foreward written by Dr Shefali — became the number one parenting book on Amazon on the very same day it was published. I’m still taking that in. Celebrate with me. Because this isn’t just a win for the contributors. It’s a win for every parent who has ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or unsure whether they’re getting it “right.” This book is our collective reminder: - You don’t have to do this perfectly - You just need space to reconnect 📘 The Perfectly Imperfect Family is a practical and heartfelt guide for today’s mindful parents — especially those raising sensitive, neurodivergent, strong-willed, or emotionally intense children. It’s a one-of-a-kind collaboration between real parents and experienced educators. People who have lived what they teach. Together, we’ve created something that blends lived experience with expert-backed tools, so no parent feels like they’re guessing in the dark. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find inside: ✔️ Gentle strategies for reconnecting after conflict ✔️ Support for managing stress and emotional overwhelm ✔️ Tools to support neurodivergent children with compassion ✔️ A new approach to power struggles that prioritises connection ✔️ Stories that remind you that you’re not alone in the hard bits My chapter? It’s about how monthly family meetings became the one thing that saved our connection. Not in a magical, movie-moment kind of way. But slowly. Gently. Honestly. It started with a moment that shook me — my children saying they didn’t feel they could tell me everything. Despite practising peaceful parenting for years, that moment made me realise something had to change. We began setting aside small moments to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Now, those simple meetings have become our family’s anchor. Thank you for celebrating this milestone with me.
