9780718151508: Your Child ... Your Way: Create a Positive Parenting Pattern for Life

Synopsis

As an often insecure mum of two children herself and a clinical psychologist, Dr Tanya Byron knows about parenting from both a professional and personal perspective. Rather than separate the two, Tanya infuses her professional knowledge with personal insight and the result is advice that really does work. She offers the practical tools to deal with any situation or behaviour, and also helps parents to understand the whys and have the confidence to handle anything life as a parent throws their way.This is the ultimate guide to positive parenting. Tanya's hope is that once a parent has read her book, they won't need her or anyone else's advice again ― because they will trust and believe in their own instincts, and follow the signs their child gives them.

From the Back Cover

Can parenting be a combination of a few tips and techniques?

Is it a role that involves a series of tasks in order to 'get it right'?

Can or should parenting be that simple?

Well, from my own experience as a mother and as a clinical psychologist working with children and their families, I would say absolutely not.

There has to be more to it - something that, in this age of 'getting it right', we have lost. It is time to step back, take a deep breath and find your own solutions - be your own expert. I will give you the tools to turn difficult behaviours around and, more importantly, I will help you develop confidence as a parent and an instinctive connection to what works for you and your child in this, the most incredible relationship you will ever have.
