This book, 20 Common Parenting Mistakes and Tips to Help Avoid Them, feels like having a no-nonsense, supportive friend walking you through the tricky parts of parenting. It covers all those things that we parents know we should probably be better at but sometimes struggle with—like sticking to rules, managing screen time, and actually listening to our kids without zoning out. What I love is that it’s practical without being preachy. Each mistake is broken down with super clear tips to help you actually improve in these areas without feeling overwhelmed.

While the content is generally helpful, much of it felt fairly obvious, and I didn’t come away with any new insights.

Striking a balance between overprotection and fostering independence is also highlighted as a key factor in raising resilient children.

Lastly, the book encourages parents to see parenting as a continuous journey of learning and adapting, ensuring their approach evolves with the needs of their children.
