Raising Calm: A stress survival guide for parents of young children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187001309)

You love your children more than anything. So why does parenting sometimes leave you feeling completely overwhelmed?

The noise. The mess. The interrupted sleep. The endless questions. The tantrums, arguments, routines, and constant need to be needed.

Parenting young children can be wonderful - and brutally exhausting.

Raising Calm is a practical, compassionate guide for parents who want to feel less overwhelmed, respond with more patience, and create a calmer family life without expecting themselves to be perfectly calm all the time.

This isn't about raising children who never cry, shout, argue, or have meltdowns.

It's about helping you cope better when real family life gets loud, stressful, and unpredictable.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

• Recognise what pushes you towards parental overload

• Calm yourself before stress turns into snapping or shouting

• Respond more steadily during tantrums and difficult behaviour

• Reduce the mental load that leaves you feeling constantly on edge

• Create simple routines that make family life feel more manageable

• Set boundaries without turning every disagreement into a battle

• Let go of unrealistic expectations and parental guilt

• Find small moments to reset even on your busiest days

• Strengthen connection with your child when things have gone wrong

• Create a home that feels calmer without expecting it to be perfect

You don't need another reason to feel guilty.

And you don't need to become an endlessly patient parent who never struggles.

You need practical tools for the days when everyone is tired, emotions are high, and you are running on empty.

Less overwhelm. More patience. A calmer home.

Your child doesn't need a perfectly calm parent.

They need a parent who knows how to reset.
