Ask yourself some questions to start your reflective process. These might include: What was growing up like for you. In what ways was your relationship with your mother similar to/different from your relationship with your father. Who played with you as a child.

A parental self-audit is not a one-time reflection. It is an exercise that you can and should repeat as your child grows up. It is not about punishment, but about showing your child that you love them and are proud of them.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Pregnancy is a very different experience for the non-pregnant partner. It allows prospective mothers to bond and connect with their fantasy babies, and prepares them to love the real baby. The first four months of co-dependency is really mother–baby time.

#2

#3

The first year of parenting can be emotionally challenging. It can be difficult to understand and respond to your baby’s needs, and you may feel lost without a roadmap. This can lead to emotional vulnerability.

#4
