“My daughter asked me, on an ordinary Tuesday, whether I thought she was enough. I paused in the middle of folding laundry — because I realised, with a small shock, that she was asking a question I had never been asked at her age. The pledge that started this book began in that pause: what if the first job of a parent is not to fix, but to remind?”

What readers are saying.
A book every Indian parent needs
I bought this on a whim and it has become my most-dog-eared book on the shelf. Lavya writes like she's sitting across from you with chai. Her ideas on discipline without shame are worth the entire price alone.
— Ashima Bose
Changed how I communicate with my teenager
As a father of a 15-year-old, I thought I was past the point of 'parenting books'. I was wrong. The chapter on listening without fixing cracked something open in my house. Our dinner-table conversations have completely changed.
— Rajiv Kumar
Deeply moving, beautifully written
The prose is luminous and the stories felt lifted from my own home. Four stars only because I wish it were twice as long. A genuinely kind book, which is rare.
