Perry, Philippa 1957- (author.).

Summary: In this absorbing, clever and funny book, renowned psychotherapist Philippa Perry tells us what really matters and what behaviour it is important to avoid - the vital dos and don'ts of parenting.

This refreshing, judgement-free book will help you to: Understand how your own upbringing may affect your parenting; Accept that you will make mistakes and learn what you can do about them; Break negative cycles and patterns; Handle your own and your child's feelings; Understand what different behaviours communicate. Full of sage and sane advice, this is the book that every parent will want to read and every child will wish their parents had.
