Michael & Hilary Perrott
Survive and thrive as a parent!
This insightful book is for you if you are: - Becoming a parent
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Struggling with issues
- Enjoying the family
To become a parent you need no licence, take no exam, pass no test.
But being a parent is the most challenging and rewarding job in the world.
If the child who has arrived in your home is your first, you are on the steepest learning curve you will ever encounter. Life will never be the same again.
And this is a parent guide with a difference.
It doesn't deal with details of toilet training or pocket money, but with some of the big issues of parenting.
For all – including single parents, stepfamilies, those whose children are fleeing the nest and grandparents – it's about loving and building self-esteem, discipline and development of character, equipping children for life.
This book will help you learn on the job whatever your stage on this rollercoaster ride of parenting, incorporating guidelines on topics such as: - Listening
- Sibling rivalry
- Praise
- Boundaries
- Punishment
- Friends
- Social skills
- Safety
- Sex
- Alcohol and drugs.
'I wish I had been able to read when my children were young! It is practical, encouraging and full of bite-sized guidelines, to build confidence and wisdom into the parents as well as the children!'
—Fiona Castle
