Product Information

There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls' mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years. Later in the book, we will move on to hot topics surrounding the tween years and issues commonly raised by parents. Starting from birth, the book covers how to start your child off with the most positive approach to eating, whether they are breast or bottle-fed.

Would definitely recommend (and already have done) to other parents of tweens who need some reassurance and guidance. This innate fear would have kept our offspring safe, at a time when they would have been most at risk if left alone. Approaches to education around the world and different options available to parents, including starting age for summer-born children.Restraint collapse (explosive behaviour at home at the end of the school day) and other behaviour regressions. Gentle Discipline is a world away from the punishments and rewards so often advocated and turns what many think about raising children on its head. A useful book if you don't know much about brain/body development in the tween years or are feeling a bit lost with parenting.

Perhaps you are not sure how to best support them in developing their reasoning and emotional skills. Clearly, they represent some form of memory bias, with adults remembering their own qualities at that age with a more positive slant; and they may also tell us a lot about how these people were themselves parented. The Gentle Sleep Book offers gentle, reassuring and effective solutions to addressing the common sleep problems of newborns to five-year-olds.In this instant Sunday Times bestseller, leading psychotherapist Philippa Perry reveals the vital do's and don'ts of relationships.

The between years are bittersweet: the loss of early childhood and yet the promise of such a bright and open future; mourning their baby days, while enjoying the thrill of looming independence. Parents, educators, and the media wring their hands about the plight of America's children and teens - soaring rates of emotional problems, limited coping skills, disengagement from learning - and yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends.Chapter 8 delves deeper into body image and why the tween years are key to helping your child grow into an adult with good body acceptance – one who is more likely to escape the seemingly ever- growing pressures of the diet and cosmetics industries. No book about tweens would be complete without a chapter on screen time, or ‘how to get your child off their games console’ and Chapter 10 is just that. I think different people will turn to this book for different reasons and there are a great number of topics covered if you just want to dip in and get some ideas or support for one issue. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.

Written in Shipp's playfully authoritative, no-nonsense voice, The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans tells his story and unpacks practical strategies that can make a difference. Cl

When I was a parent for the first time, I often wondered if people thought that these in- between years – those between eight and thirteen – were inconsequential and uneventful. In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. As a global pandemic shuttered schools across the country in 2020, parents found themselves thrust into the role of teacher — in more ways than one. In fact, there is evidence to show that adolescents today are considerably better in many ways than those from previous generations: rates of smoking, underage drinking, drug use, 2 antisocial behaviour and teen pregnancies 3 have fallen, while academic achievement, concern for the environment and acceptance of diversity have risen. We take their backchat, rudeness and refusal to listen or do what we tell them to do as an indication that they are lacking in respect for us and we meet it with punishments, chastisements and consequences.
