Advice on parenting; Child care & upbringing; Teenagers: advice for parents

Most parenting advice is overthought, overcomplicated bullshit that makes struggling parents feel worse about themselves. The stuff that actually works is simpler than you think, harder than you'd like and has very little to do with perfect technique and everything to do with showing up, staying connected and not completely losing your sh
*t when things go sideways.

Little F
*ckers is written for parents who are tired of feeling like they're failing at the most important job they'll ever do. It's for mums and dads who love their kids fiercely but sometimes want to sell them to the circus. It's packed with practical advice, science-backed strategies and just enough humour to get you through another day of complicated snack negotiations and major screentime catastrophes.

You'll learn: ·

How to stay calm when your kid channels a small angry dictator. ·

Why sending them outside actually builds brains (and gives you 5 minutes' peace). ·

When to talk, when to walk and when to just hand them a banana and hope for the best. ·

How to build real connection with kids who push every boundary. ·

Why sleep, food and movement matter more than any parenting philosophy.

This isn't about perfect parenting.

This is about present parenting.

Messy. Imperfect. Brave.

Just like real life.

Spoiler: You're doing way better than you think.
