Parenting Made Simple

In this practical, easy-to-implement guide, specialist child psychologist Dr Sarah Hughes gives you the tools you need for every age and stage of your child’s development. 


Focusing on six key areas:

•        challenging behaviour

•        emotions and tantrums

•        confidence

•        social skills and friendships

•        anxiety

•        parenting well through separation and divorce


You’ll learn all the do’s and don’ts, and discover effective techniques for raising well-adjusted children. 


Dr Hughes uses real-world examples and scenarios to delve deep into the emotional and behavioural development of children, including rooting out just why kids can’t always behave well (hint: because their brains haven’t finished developing yet). 


From how to reward positive behaviour to the best way to set rules and guidelines, Parenting Made Simple offers a warm and common-sense approach all parents can benefit from.
