Customer Reviews

Very useful book
I have worked with lots of children, for many years, and I think this book is GREAT! It has a really nice friendly way about it, with lots of stories. THere are great tips on picky eaters, children who aren't happy at school, children who won't tidy up or clean their teeth without a fight (I've come across quite a few of these!) also bullying, shy children etc etc. Really useful, I'm going to send it to some of my friends too. Definitely five stars.

Parenting problems solved!
Parenting is a minefield with more manuals than the British Library so finding a book that offers support without being patronising, talks about real problems and suggests strategies that don't involve disrupting your life and is charming, funny, well written and very well edited is a real bonus.
Highly recommended.
