This book is not here to shame you
It is here to awaken, strengthen, and transform your parenting journey.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The parenting patterns that feel harmless today may shape your child for a lifetime.
Some pitfalls are easy to miss:
- Overpraising Overprotecting
- Saving your child too often
- Parenting from fear
- Giving in just to “keep the peace”
- Ignoring emotional baggage
- Raising your child to please rather than to think
- Confusing discipline with control
Sandra Oluwadare draws from years of coaching parents, supporting families in crisis, and guiding overwhelmed moms, frustrated dads, and struggling teens.
Her message is simple:
Parenting is too important to leave to instinct.
Awareness changes everything.
This book is your guide to becoming a more conscious, emotionally aware, and deeply connected parent.
