Becoming a parent is the most complete reinvention of self that any adult will ever undergo. It is also, if you let it be, the most isolating — because the conversation about who you are inside of this new identity rarely gets the room it deserves. New Parents Are People, Too was written to give it that room.

Dr. Sharon Fried Buchalter, Ph.D. — Clinical and Industrial Psychologist, mother, and founder of Little Toes Diaper Co. — brings decades of parent coaching expertise to the 8 research-grounded secrets that help new mothers and fathers maintain their sense of self, their partnership, and their joy in the most demanding season of life. This is not a book about surviving parenthood. It is a book about thriving inside it, together.
