Publisher's Summary

"I yelled at the kids again - and feel so ashamed." 

"I barely have time to shower, let alone exercise; no wonder I'm so out of shape." 

"I'm just not the dad I hoped I would be." 

Parenting is hard. That's why self-compassion is so important. In this empathetic resource, mindfulness expert and psychologist Susan M. Pollak helps you let go of constant self-judgment and treat yourself with the same kindness and caring you strive to offer your kids. 

Simple, yet powerful, guided meditation techniques (most under three minutes long) are easy to practice while doing the dishes, driving to work, or soothing a fussy baby. Learn to respond to your own imperfections like a supportive friend, not a harsh critic. You will find yourself happier and more energized - and will discover new reserves of patience and appreciation for your kids.
