Kate Silverton Instagram – So… today was quite the ride ! After almost three years of being cooped up in a tiny brick shed, surrounded by research papers, numerous books, boosted by coffee and chocolate … while mummying my smalls and volunteering in schools to work clinically with young children in need, I managed, by some feat, to produce ‘there’s still no such thing as naughty’ – my second book on parenting, and tonight an Amazon number one bestseller – thanks to you 💪🏼🙏🏼 and to @thismorning @virginradiouk for the support
Thank you too for sharing in the excitement and for investing in my work. I hope you find what I have written a comfort and support. I’ve written this book for parents, like me, who simply want to ‘do our best’ and to understand our children and keep our cool, even when our children are not keeping theirs !
It becomes so much easier when science shows us the way. It supports what our ancestors instinctively knew .. that our children are deeply feeling creatures – and, if we are to understand them we must become more deeply feeling creatures too. When we understand that the heart of our experience is driven by our nervous system – all behaviour begins to make sense.
Parenting becomes simpler – although still not easy ! In community however, we can come through. I am so grateful to friends like @dipika.j.a who even last night scooped us up after journeying to London, with a gorgeous supper and catch up while the kids played, to @peneloperyanbeauty for getting up at the crack of dawn to get me ‘camera ready’, ( and doing an incredible job 😅) to my publisher @lagombooks and my editor @michellesignore snd the entire team @bonnierbooks_uk alongside my wonderful agents @bev_james @tomtomwright @lizpeacock_ and the entire team @bevjamesmanagement and to everyone who has been on the journey alongside. I have changed my career to advocate for children and to support parents as we navigate the toughest job of all, to help make life more magical, and bring more harmony to our homes … thank you for all your messages and photos of the book as it arrives .. I look forward to the days and weeks ahead with much more to come ♥️ #parenting #parentingtips #mental #mentalhealth | Posted on 29/Mar/2024 00:56:42
