Child psychologist Steve Biddulph tells parents everything they need to know about raising happy, healthy, confident children from babyhood to teens. This book shows parents how to be true to themselves while also bringing up secure children who feel loved and respected, with self-esteem and responsibility. The book is aimed at a wide age group - from babies and toddlers to older children and teenagers. Authoritative yet accessible, it is full of case histories and familiar conversations and scenarios, as well as cartoons, that help parents relate to Steve's message. The book covers all the key issues in parenting, including: how and why negative language affects children; stopping tantrums before they start; curing shyness - "soft love"; why touch, praise and time are vital - and "firm love" - disciplining through teaching and being involved, rather than punishment.

This book is fantastic! I also recommend reading Steve Biddulph's book - Raising Boys - if you have sons. I have 3 children and I found that reading this book reinforced everything I already knew and put EVERYTHING in perspective. Since reading the book I feel more confident as a mother, I am less stressed and I enjoy my children more. Our children ARE happier and they are better behaved (and it was amazing how easily that was accomplished using the suggestions and techniques from this book). This book is a must read for EVERY parent.
This book gives a balanced opinion on raising happy children. I couldn't put it down. It is extremely easy to read and made me think about important issues. Every parent should read this.
An AWESOME book for both parents and teachers, easy read format, with small chapters and plenty of sections.
Basically tells carers to take a step back and enjoy your time with children.
Enables caregivers to look at the word through the eyes of the child, and enjoy things for what they are.
I clutched this book for 8 weeks since it was so good, it raised my confidence as a teacher and enabled me to understand why children think and act the way they do.
