Good Enough

Break free from the perfection trap and raise happy, self-reliant children

By: Dr Tara Porter

We all beat ourselves up with ideas of perfection, but what if 'good enough' parenting is actually enough?

Parenting is in need of an update - we are living through unprecedented times and our children are struggling with their mental health. Using an engaging mix of expertise and experience, this book will help you understand what it means to be a 'good enough' parent to your children, from babyhood to adulthood. In return, you'll help instil that feeling of being 'good enough' in your child - a mindset that will give them the best chance of navigating the ups and downs of modern life.

As a mother of three and practicing psychologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, Tara Porter is intent on reducing the pressure of modern parenting advice for both parents and children. Break free from scrolling through the latest fads on Instagram and tune into Tara's wise and relatable message.

Whether your child is taking their first steps or about to fly the nest, Tara will show you how to find your 'good enough', an approach that allows you to define your own role, avoid parental guilt and espouse an approach of balanced, boundaried emotional support, whilst retaining your sense of sanity and self as you do so.©2025 Dr Tara Porter (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
