As a child and adult psychiatrist, Dr. Narasimhan hears many questions from parents who are worried about their children and want guidance on how best to manage the challenges they face with parenting. There are numerous parenting books that describe techniques with respect to setting limits, dealing with problematic behaviors, etc. This book may be interpreted as a deviation from a conventional "parenting" book in that it is more nuanced, with the goal of engaging people in a broadening of perspective approach, as opposed to an instruction manual. Development is a complicated interplay of numerous factors, and those magical transformative moments children have with adults are often less about a prescription and more about building meaningful connections. To elevate consciousness, Dr. Narasimhan offers transparency into some of the insights she has gathered over years of talking to parents and other adults who interact with children regularly, as well as talking to children in her role as a child psychiatrist. Child-rearing often involves innovation in how we think and is more of a journey rather than a destination. There needs to be an understanding of how to foster growth and autonomy while protecting children from damaging environments. A child can be a mirror of our deepest fears, insecurities, and self-doubt. A child can also teach us about the beautiful purity of innocence, love, how to feel joy instead of fear, and offer an opportunity for profound emotional growth. Hopefully, these questions and answers are the beginning of a dialogue between adults on how to address various aspects of child development. It is not meant to be a one-stop shop with easy solutions, but instead hopefully will encourage approaching challenges with inquiry, seeking to understand the unique individuality of a child, and learning how to walk alongside children on their journey while holding their hand as needed.
