Your Kid Is Fine. Are You?

You are doing everything right. So why does it feel so wrong?You research every decision, sacrifice your time, your career, your sleep - and somewhere in the middle of all that loving and giving, you disappeared. Not your body. You. Your interests, your ambitions, your marriage, your joy. And your kids? Your kids are fine. Your Kid Is Fine. Are You? is the honest, warm, and often funny book that every parent needs but nobody writes: the one that's not about your child at all.
It's about you. Drawing on over twenty years of experience as a teacher, special education specialist, and parenting consultant - and as a mother of four - Leah Avital Dlinov walks you through the anxiety spiral, the comparison trap, the expert noise, and the guilt that never quite goes away. And then she shows you the way out. Because here's what she knows after years of sitting with exhausted parents in her consulting room: a happy parent is not a selfish parent.
A happy parent is the greatest gift a child can receive. In this book you will discover: Why trying so hard is making everything worse How parental anxiety transfers directly to your children - and how to stop it Why your marriage needs protecting just as much as your children do How to reclaim your career, your hobbies, your evenings, and your sense of self What your children actually need from you - and what they really don't care about at all This is not a book about perfect parenting.
It's a book about being a whole person while raising one. Ideal for: parents of children of all ages, mothers returning to work, couples navigating parenthood together, anyone who has ever felt guilty for wanting their life back.
