Cécile: The point of the book was to share my experience as a parent and to have it cross-examined by the specialist to which I talked during the very serious research I did for years. I put all this in very regular mom words. The book is about the huge gap between the usual stuff we're told about parenting, things like all you need is love or trust your gut, and the reality of parenting which I found out from my own experience is much more complicated, anyway for me. Of course, love is totally indispensable. It's crucial, but it's not enough. You need also, as in any relationship I think, guidelines and advice and work because love can hurt even if it's well-intended. As for the gut part, I thought it was the expression of our love for our children when I was thinking, trust your gut. In fact, I found out that it is more the reproduction of our own upbringing.
