How to be a Better Parent: No Matter How Badly Your Children Behave or How Busy You Are

By Cassandra Jardine

Parenting classes are in the news, not only for parents with totally out of control children, but also for ordinary, anxious parents who find that applying simple parenting skills can result in happier children and calmer, more enjoyable home lives.

In the child-centred age of fast food, television and computer games, when family structures are less clearly defined than in the 50s and 60s, it can be more difficult for parents to take a positive, long-term view of what they are trying to achieve with their children. Not everyone wants to go to parenting classes, but everyone can benefit from what's taught there. So Cassandra Jardine has drawn on the experience and skills of Britain's two top teachers to provide the practical tools that all parents can use immediately.

This easy-to-use guide will explain why your child behaves as he/she does and will offer sensible strategies for ensuring a happy home-life, and well-balanced kids.

Excellent! From a single Mum of 4 boys

This book literally saved my life. I was struggling with parenthood even as I was struggling with my marriage. As i read the book, a new life started for me, one in which my children and I had a working relationship. I understood so much more about what children need from us as parents, and the techniques we can use to guide and help children grow in to responsible, cooperative people. Shame she didn't write the same book for marriages... ;-)
