Tears Heal

One of the most difficult tasks that parents of infants and toddlers face is how to behave when children cry and cannot be calmed down. Parents, not understanding what is happening to them, try to negotiate with the children or ignore them. 

Kate Orson offers a new perspective on one of the fundamental parental attitudes: how to respond to children’s tears. The author also provides an answer on how to deal with our own emotions, explaining why it is often hard for us to accept children’s feelings: largely because we ourselves were not fully heard by our parents in childhood. 

The book is written with great warmth, support, and respect for parental work on the path to changing relationships with children.
