Sinopsis

Bringing up children is a challenging, frustrating, and exhausting job because kids don’t come with a handbook. But if they did, I hope Raising Happy Children For Dummies would be the one that at least helps you feel more confident about your parenting and gives you information to support and encourage you, and make you laugh along the way. Parenting is the most important job that you’ll ever do but is also the one few ever get any preparation for. Ironically, most people invest in everything except learning the skills needed for raising happy, confident, and wellbalanced children.

The speed, pressure, and stress of modern living means you never seem to have enough time. These are different times – certainly different from your own childhood memories and experiences. Today’s culture is about having it all and having it now. Children face the dangers of Internet chat rooms, exposure to recreational drugs, binge drinking, and casual sex. They spend vast amounts of time in front of screens – PlayStation, MSN, and the computer. And despite an abundance of other things they could do, they always appear bored.

My aims for you as you read this book are to:

• Develop a really wonderful and fulfilling relationship with your child that lasts a lifetime.
• Discover new ways to enjoy parenting your child.
• Find ways to communicate easily and effectively with your child, no matter what her age.
• Bring out the best in your child – and also discover the best in you.
• Explore new skills and choices in your parenting approach and style.
• Grow, change, and laugh together with your child and partner as you all go through this journey of family life.
• Realise that respecting each other as individuals is the magic that glues you all together.
