Raising ourselves, not just children

Parenting wisdom

I want to share something close to the heart.

While reading The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry, I found myself pausing often—struck by how much of it wasn’t just about parenting, but about presence, healing, and becoming the best version of you.

This piece is a collection of excerpts and insights from her remarkable book. It isn’t just about raising children. It’s about raising ourselves. And offering that gift forward—to our children, to ourselves, and to anyone who still needs to be seen, felt, and held.

You can read or listen.

With gratitude,

Jawad
