Happiness is a Superpower for My Children: Be the Not-Perfect Real Parent (Happiness is Free)

Your child is melting down. You're exhausted, out of patience, and quietly wondering if you're doing permanent damage. Sonja Frey wants you to know: that moment isn't failure. It's the beginning of connection.

Although we are being taught that good parenting means getting it right, Sonja Frey is here to tell you that's the lie keeping you exhausted.
