Children, while often angelic and sweet, can be challenging as well. You can feel overwhelmed by your children’s behavior, and ask yourself:
■ Are my responses and actions correct?
■ Do other parents feel unsure of how to handle certain situations with their children as well?
■ Is it normal to be so uncertain that what I am doing is correct?

Every parent faces questions and uncertainties when it comes to raising children. There are no absolutes, and in the face of the profound responsibility of being a parent in this day and age, it can be very stressful to have self-doubt.
Rest assured: you are not alone. All parents question their actions and often feel insecure about their choices. In addition, there are numerous questions that parents are often afraid to ask:
■ “Is it okay to get angry when my toddler doesn’t listen? “
■ “Is it okay to get jealous when my child monopolizes my spouse’s time?”
■ “Is it normal to wonder if I am being judged by my peers?”
■ “Who defines normal, anyway?”
Am I a Normal Parent? tackles such questions head on. By addressing common concerns, Sara Dimerman encourages you to rethink interpretations of societal norms in a positive and constructive way.
