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, And - most important - how to survive and thrive as a parent! 'Among the many and varied books parenting, this is one 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 and well as the children!' Fiona Castle
