The Gentle Parenting Book - How to raise a calmer, happier children from birth to seven
The Gentle Parenting Book offers a step-by-step guide for parents looking for a gentle style of parenting. It is a method that embraces the needs of both parent and child, while being mindful of current science and child psychology. But this is not permissive parenting - boundaries and discipline play a crucial role in gentle parenting.
In her trademark practical style, Sarah Ockwell-Smith provides a trustworthy combination of what-to-expect information and gentle-parenting solutions to the most common challenges faced by parents with young children, including coping with a crying baby, weaning and picky eating, potty training, starting nursery and school, sibling rivarly, tantrums, whining and sulking, aggressive behaviour and much more.
And for parents who have previously used stricter styles of parenting, there's plenty of advice - and reassurance - on making the transition to a gentler approach. The Gentle Parenting Book offers a much needed, balanced approach to raising happy, confident and respectful children.
