From the Author
David and I are to present talks/book signings in 3 Borders book stores in April-June this year. We are finding the book is proving to be of great value to our intended audience.
Colleagues who work in schools are also using material in the book as the basis for helping young people turn their lives around. As Sir John Whitmore says, "This [self-confidence] in all its forms is the foundation stone for life and needs to be set early."
How about letting your child coach you? How perfect is your life, are you fulfilling your potential?

great new spin on help with parenting
Like all mothers, I'm constantly asking myself if I'm doing the best for my children, giving them the tools they need to become independent, happy and successful in their lives. The Coaching Parent helped give me confidence to know I was on the right track together with a few tricks to help when I'm less certain! It's well thought through and very easy to follow. A great book for all parents.'

What an accessible find
When I first got hold of my copy of the Coaching Parent I was very busy and it was my intention to put it to one side until I had more time to read it. However, I began to browse and was hooked. I was particularly impressed by the ease of reading - I was able to dip in and move about without getting overwhelmed in psychological jargon. The authors obviously have no need to hide under a security blanket - very refreshing. They have managed to make many complex, psychological concepts accessible to all. The end result is that the reader loses nothing but gains a great deal. The intended audience of the Coaching Parent is seems obviously - parents - this said, it is my own belief that the book can easily be adapted to suit any audience.
