If anyone isn’t treating me right when I’m having a tantrum, I can show them this, sometimes it’s the simple things that are the miracles.
Oh and my favourite is the blue creature – is it a rhinoceros or a dragon or an otodus megalodon?
I’m so glad you made this, Marion
I love how the illustrations really bring this to life and make it engaging for children.
It helped me embrace them as a natural and essential human expression for healing.
It talks about feelings.
I have tantrums sometimes and when my mum listens to my feelings I feel much better.
This book will help other children understand that tantrums are not bad.
We have both experienced the “storm” of tantrums together and we had a lot of compassion for Teddy, Tarin, and their mother.
Since I had a similar approach to Alex’s tantrums we could see ourselves in mum’s and Teddy’s place and it was quite reassuring.
This book is a wonderful illustration of how big and scary tantrums may look but how beneficial giving space to the feelings to be expressed is for everyone!
A deeply affirming story that invites families to embrace the wild energy of bedtime with trust and connection.
Remi asks for Calm Down Bob every night!
My husband and I both read it to her – she wants it read to her more than once!
I’m in love.
The illustrations are SO divine and the story is gorgeous.
Such a beautiful reminder to us as parents to trust the intelligence of our little ones when our culture and personal conditioning call for something so radically different.
Thank you for gifting this piece of art into the world!
My eldest daughter burst into tears and started sobbing halfway through Calm Down Bob Before Bed.
My second daughter didn’t want to read I Love You However You Feel at first, because she didn’t want to read a book with flowers, yuck!
But she became open to it once she saw the frustrated flower.
Then as I read on, she started crying and wailing too.
At the end, my youngest daughter opened up the pages she loved the most, which were of course the mum and dad bear holding the baby bear and also the colourful pillows too.
I love that this book opened up space in the room to have them express their feelings, even though it was painful for me to see them have painful feelings! Thank you so much!
We all really enjoyed your books.
So grateful to have these as resources in our home.
It’s fun as she’s raised with Aware Parenting and would say “we do that!” “I do that with dad!”
She also just saw the dentist yesterday and she was so thrilled Bob played dentist with his dad too.
When I asked her what her favourite part was, she said “the page where he cried”
Thank you for writing this – I’ll be recommending it lots.
I asked her if there’s anything she’d like me to share with you and she said “I love it! I love my book.”
Yes, really we love it so much and it is absolutely beautiful.
It’s already a favourite in our house.
P.S. He actually brought me the book and said “Mummy, can you read me the feelings book again?”
I could hear my daughter reading a story to her dollies this morning and when I went in to take a peek I noticed it was I Love You However You Feel!!
She was willing for me to take a photo and send to you!!
Makes my heart sing!!
Hope it brings a smile to you, too!
When it arrived I chose it to read to my 4yo and 2yo that night and the next.
Then every other night after that, they have chosen it to read together before bed.
Thank you again!
I purchased your new children’s book on Amazon as soon as you posted about it.
We (my husband, almost 5 yo and 14 mo) have been reading it a couple of times a week as part of our night time reading.
When our 14 month old is having his pre-day nap cry release, I soothingly say some of the lines I’ve memorised from the book and he always pauses his crying and looks deep into my eyes as I say it.
It’s so beautiful!
Even our eldest will occasionally say, “I welcome all your feelings” or “I love you however you feel” when the baby is crying.
I bought three and gifted two. ❤️🌹
Thank you SO MUCH! It really is healing.
It’s the book I’ve longed for.
Thank you thank you thank you.
It’s hard to read it between my tears. It’s beautiful. So incredibly healing and accessible to everyone.
Just reading two pages will change people’s lives. Bless you xxx
I’ve never read anything like it.
It takes me straight to my heart, my wounds, my tears and helps me release and heal.
It’s so simple and so profound and just beautiful. It’s inspired. Thank you for this gift. X
Through her moving and tender words, Marion creates a safe space for readers to reconnect with the most vulnerable parts of themselves.
Each chapter felt like an invitation to explore the emotions I had long buried, offering compassion and courage to meet them fully.
This book wasn’t just something I read—it was something I experienced.
Her stories reached parts of me I hadn’t touched in years.
I cried, I raged, and I sobbed as emotions I had suppressed found their way to the surface.
Her words held me in a way that made me feel safe, seen, and deeply understood.
It was a profoundly transformative process.
What makes this book so special is its dual purpose.
It not only supports our own healing but also offers powerful tools for parenting with presence, love, and connection.
The Aware Parenting insights and Inner Loving Parent phrases are deeply nourishing, providing practical guidance while also speaking directly to the heart.
This book is a gift for anyone ready to embrace healing and connection.
I wholeheartedly recommend it to parents, caregivers, and anyone longing to rediscover and nurture their inner self.
Marion’s work is nothing short of life changing.
What makes it unique is the first person narration that really makes you get in the child’s place.
Marion very vividly describes how a child processes their feelings during various challenging situations and the shift that happens when the parent responds lovingly and compassionately to them.
She includes phrases that I would love to have heard as a child or even as an adult and that I will definitely try to embody and use for my child and for myself.
All we need is connection, and Marion has her own magic way to remind it to us.
Marion’s unique way of telling a story from a child’s perspective, offering insights from an Aware Parenting perspective, and weaving in reparative phrases is nothing short of transformative.
But the true gold lies in the reparative phrases that Marion offers – they are like a healing balm for our old wounds of the soul.
When spoken with presence, they become a profound gift to ourselves, fostering self-compassion and deeper connection.
The three sections of each chapter is the most magical, synergistic combination of different view points I could ever imagine.
I didn’t want to put this book down!
Marion has once again created a masterpiece that will be beloved by parents everywhere.
Thank you for putting this beautiful offering into the world Marion, we are all better off for it.
It was like all the words I needed were right there.
Then throughout the day, there was a shift with the family. I could hold space for my kids better through play or loving limits and connection.
Thank you Marion for this truly incredible book.
I highly recommend “All of your feelings are welcome”, Marion’s newest best seller if you’re looking for a way to easily access healing to your inner child and to find ways of reparenting with love & connection.
Through her compassionate words, Marion helps you connect with that inner child, teaching you how to hold them with love and tenderness as your adult self.
This book moved me to tears countless times.
Marion’s ability to help you see your younger self—a child who simply needed to be seen, heard, and understood—is pure magic.
She shows how, as the loving and aware adult you are now, you can finally offer that unconditional care to the child within.
This isn’t just a book; it’s an experience of reparenting in its most heartfelt and transformative form.
A must-read for anyone on a journey of healing and self-compassion.
I expected how to’s and to do’s on how to heal/ reparent ourselves as my conditioning has taught me that’s how we learn… but then I remembered it’s Marion! That not what she believes, she always trusts that I know what I need! Why would she now suddenly tell me what to do and how to do it I love how every time she shows me there is another way (than we were taught) of thinking, doing and living!
I love how this book is so very much Marion, filled with love and compassion and such a deep understanding for us human beings and what lies beneath our behaviour! That creates such a profound and powerful connection and safety!
I loved LOVED!!! the stories from the child’s perspective!
Seeing things from their perspective IS reparative! Is reparenting!
It helped me trust even deeper that my kids know what they need and to lean in! To be curious and to keep connecting with myself and them! It helped me understand the process even better which helps me be patient and compassionate! And not take things personally !
I felt so much hope for this beautiful connection and ease in our parenting journeys. And I felt so much willingness to welcome even more feelings, mine, my partners and our children’s’.
I experimented with the Inner Loving Mother/Father phrases for myself with my kids and I could feel them hit a sweet spot. I never heard these phrases myself and I am so grateful for the inspiration!
I have read so many parenting books, and Aware Parenting books and often I felt guilt and shame afterwards.
But with Marions’ books i always feel such delight, hope, and love!
Never have I ever read a book like Marions’. They are an experience, they are a healing it itself! I love the clarity and simplicity with which she explains things!
It does not matter if you are new to Aware Parenting or an Aware Parenting instructor yourself, this book is a gift for everyone, no matter where in your (re)parenting journey you are!
Thank you so much Marion for inviting me to look differently, to open up my mind to endless possibilities, to reconnect with my power and to get free-er of my conditioning!
