However, that's where this book comes in. It aims to help understand for ourselves what we can and cannot do; to help us to accept any distress, worry, anxiety, sadness or loss of control in our situations; to see that we can tolerate these things; and to know that there are ways to move forward. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book is packed with stories from real parents, combined with information from psychological research.
