Why is it that research suggests people who don’t have kids are happier than people who do? Olivia Scobie provides practical solutions for parents who find themselves pushing beyond their capacity to meet impossible standards, and she challenges parents to shift their thinking from child-centered to family-centered. By naming today’s unrealistic parenting expectations as impossible from the get-go, Impossible Parenting creates the space to acknowledge harmful expectations for new parents and begins a conversation that focuses on healing and doing the best one can with the resources available.
Olivia Scobie is a social-work counsellor and educator who specializes in perinatal mood, birth trauma, and parental mental health. She lives in Toronto.
Christine Kiphart is a classically trained singer with a lifetime of experience in storytelling and performance. As a teacher of literature and writing, she enjoys bringing the world of story to children and adolescents and loves exploring the art of narration. She resides with her poet-clown husband and her two terriers in Los Angeles.
