Hurrah - I've got a life now!
This book arrived just in time...I was reaching boiling point with my four year old - I was a definite screamer!

This book was fantastic however in helping raise my awareness of just how much my behaviour, bad and good, is reflected in my child's behaviour.

The chapters are easily digestible - perfect for reading with a quick cup of coffee and the activities really make you think and focus on what is important. I loved the 'real life' advice from other Mums and Dads - a chance to feel smug when it was a positive something I already do and a realisation that I am not alone when it was something I don't!

Next time you want to get a great 'pick me up' for a friend with children - don't buy her flowers - buy a copy of this book - she will definitely thank you and the positive effects will be felt for a long time.

Thank you Lorraine
Summary: Helpful, easy to read, immediate results
Reviewer: A reader from the UK

I have read other reviews where people claim that a book has changed their life, and thought they must be mad. But....this book IS a life changer. If you are, like me, trying to cope with the pressures of parenthood, you MUST get this book. It is easy to read, easy to digest and gives you sensible ways to make your life with your kids much better. Every day, you can do something that helps you all. I read it and found some of it so powerful it made me cry.

Lorraine's second book is even better than the first (the 7 day Parent Coach)if that were possible.
This time, there are even smaller and easier steps to take for every parent to sort out their parenting issues. Anyone can read this with ease,and do the excercises which will bring results in a positive and productive way. This is not just parenting theory which you can read then leave on a shelf and foget about, this could be the most important book you'll read and use for you and your children. This is the book you need in your bag as you come out of hospital with your newborn, infact make that the book you buy to take to the next baby shower. Thanks Lorraine - keep on saving the world!
