The Imperfect Parent: A Nonjudgmental Guide to Raising Children in the Modern World

A judgment-free handbook on parenting kids in all their uniqueness

We all want to raise independent, confident children, but unfortunately, there’s no one right way to parent that we can all learn. Each child is unique, and each mom and dad has their own ideas on parenting, often influenced by the way they were raised. The Imperfect Parent shows us how we can celebrate those differences, embracing the individuality of our kids, carrying on the successful practices our parents demonstrated, and learning from their—and our—mistakes.

A mom of two boys, author Kate Hamilton is no stranger to parenting struggles, and she knows well that anyone who thinks they can parent error-free is just kidding themselves. This book is an honest look at her parenting triumphs and failures and what parents everywhere can learn from both. She explains:

• How to handle parenting advice from others
• How to communicate well with your partner or co-parent
• How to help your children discover their identities
• How to have conversations with your kids about uncomfortable topics
• How to let your children fail

And that just scratches the surface! Recognizing that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to raising kids, The Imperfect Parent teaches you how to forge a path that works best for your family.
