Book review – Parenting for Humans by Dr Emma Svanberg

Parenting for Humans is not, like many parenting books, about your child. Instead, it’s described as ‘a book for you as a parent’. It helps you to see that whatever you know or have read, you bring your emotions and experiences to your parenting.  

Dr Emma Svanberg (aka the Mumologist), is an award-winning clinical psychologist, who works with parents, parents-to-be and professionals focusing on how to understand yourself so you can live a more fulfilling life.

Get 30% off with Bloomsbury Books

For a long time, we have loved Molly Potter’s books because they dive right into talking about big subjects – like worries, feelings and friendships – in a way that is both thoughtful and fun. They give lots of information, with colourful illustrations, to help both you and your child approach new or tricky emotions with confidence. 

These brilliant books are being relaunched this summer as part of Bloomsbury Publishing’s Let’s Talk series – and you can get 30% off all the books in the series (as well as others on their site) from the 6th – 16th July 2023.
