Dr Martha Deiros Collado
About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Drawing on her years of experience as a clinical psychologist, as well as her growing and dedicated social media community, Dr Martha Deiros Collado's first book is the must-have toolkit for any parent.
Martha understands the many modern-day parenting struggles and worries we all face:
- How can I make my child listen to me?
- Can I stop a tantrum in its tracks?
- What can I do when my child feels sad?
- Why does my child only eat three very particular things without having a meltdown?
- What should I do when I lose my sh*t?
With humour, boundless energy, wit and warmth, Dr Martha tackles it all; from how to talk about honesty and lies, death, co-parenting, consent, gender, attachment, boundaries, and tantrums, as well as the small but critical day to day challenges parents face. And she explains why beneath each dilemma, it's the behaviours and scripts we learned as children that shape the parents we become.
This deceptively simple and always empathetic guide promises to become the new word of mouth 'must have' for parents or any grown-up interested in what makes a healthy, happy, confident parent and child.

Brilliant
Dr Martha has a true gift of being knowledgeable but also humble. To be able to relay information in an accessible way, without being patronising or judgemental. I believe all parents should read/ listen to this book. What a change that would make to the world, encouraging people to be more compassionate and reflective, whilst also holding boundaries. So important.

Great listen with practical examples
I would highly recommend this book, it really gets you to look at your own behaviour and what your expectations are of your child to help understand behaviours. It provides practical examples on changes that you can implement to help address issues you might be having.

Highly recommend this book
Only wish this book could have been available when my little one was a baby! It’s very validating and reassuring, full of practical advice and tons of information on children’s development. Thank you dr Martha

This is worth your time and credit.
This book is excellent. Dr Deiros Collado discusses how to do the best for your child without forgetting yourself and your needs. Highly recommended for parents of children of all ages. (The section on adolescence is extremely helpful.)

Brilliant book
So much practical help on how to move out of fear and into my own style of parenting. Leaving behind traditional expectations of parenting and understanding how kids brains develop
Would highly recommend !

The whole book is brilliant and essential for any parent.
Dr Martha speaks openly, frankly, giving evidence based advice at every stage of parenting. As a parent of 4 this is invaluable. Will easily be the book of the year!
