Synopsis

Psychology for parents presents psychological research on children to parents in an accessible way. It is a reference guide aimed at the thinking parent who doesn’t just want to accept an expert’s advice without some evidence. Have you asked yourself the questions: Is it better to be strict or lenient with my children? What should I do if my child is being bullied? How can I get my teenager to talk to me? What should I do if my child has dyslexia? Psychology for parents: Birth to teens offers answers to these questions grounded in psychological research. It aims to bridge the gap between child psychology textbooks and traditional parenting books. This comprehensive reference guide covers a wide range of topics such as intelligence, personality, special needs and mental health. Parents will find that they go back to the book as different issues crop up in their child's life.
