Parenting Made Simple
Straightforward, Practical Strategies for Common Childhood Challenges
In this practical, easy-to-implement guide, specialist child psychologist Dr Sarah Hughes gives you the tools you need for every age and stage of your child’s development.
Focusing on six key areas: challenging behaviour; emotions and tantrums; confidence; social skills and friendships; anxiety; and parenting well through separation and divorce, you’ll learn all the do’s and don’ts, and discover effective techniques for raising well-adjusted children.
Dr Hughes uses real-world examples and scenarios to delve deep into the behavioural development of children, including rooting out just why kids can’t always behave well (hint: because their brains haven’t finished developing yet).
From how to reward positive behaviour to the best way to set rules and guidelines, Parenting Made Simple offers a warm and commonsense approach all parents can benefit from.
