When It’s Your Kid: Parenting Through the Punch of Bullying: A messy, honest guide for mums in the thick of it

By Helen Rose

Nobody gives you a guidebook for this bit. They'll tell you how to swaddle, how to wean, how to survive the teenage eye-rolls. But what about when your child slams their school bag down and says, "I don't want to go back"? What about the pit in your stomach when you hear the word bullied?

This isn't a polished parenting manual. It's the messy truth of parenting through bullying - the midnight spirals, the angry emails you type and delete, the guilt when you snap because you're breaking too.

Inside you'll find:

The raw reality of being a parent when bullying barges into your child's life.

Stories that sound like your kitchen table confessions, not a lecture.

Honest reflections on guilt, helplessness, rage, and how to keep showing up.

Solidarity from a parent voice that says: you're not alone, and you're not failing.

If you've ever cried in the car park, sat awake at 3am scrolling for answers, or felt powerless watching your child crumble, this book is for you.

When It's Your Kid is a relatable parenting memoir for mums and dads who never thought they'd be here - parenting through the punch of bullying and trying to hold the family together in the middle of it.

Because you don't need perfect answers. You just need to know you're not the only one.
