We are so delighted to have this mothers talking chat with the brilliant Dr Emma Svanberg, clinical psychologist for parents, author and campaigner. In this rich episode we discuss Emma's latest book, Parenting for Humans, where Emma allows us to discover why we parent the way we do and uncover more of ourselves in the process. Emma has a way of making us feel relaxed about our parenting choices and reassures us that what we're doing is enough. Emma is so warm and insightful with what she shares, this is a good one, not to be missed. Thank you so much Emma.
