Strong Roots, Free Wings: How to raise confident, resilient children ready for the modern world

What makes a child truly confident? How is resilience built before they even need it? And how can a parent — imperfect, tired, full of doubts — really make a difference?

Strong Roots, Free Wings is a practical and emotional guide for parents who want to raise psychologically healthy children, from birth to adolescence. Written in the direct voice of a father who has lived the challenges of parenthood first-hand, and supported by the latest research in developmental psychology, this book guides parents through every crucial phase:

— How to create secure attachment in the early years — How to teach children to recognize and manage their emotions — How to use boundaries as a tool of love — How to navigate school, social media and adolescence — How to talk to children about death, illness and loss — How to take care of yourself so you can take care of your child

Each of the 19 chapters ends with Put It Into Practice — reflection questions and writing exercises to help you apply what you have read directly to your family.

This is not just a book to read. It is a book to live.
