Based on the belief that only when a child is convinced that its parents are on its side can it develop true self-esteem and develop into a self-confident, self-reliant and happy person, this book offers parents straightforward advice. It does not explain how or when to potty-train or move a child from a cot to a bed, but uses words such as praise, play, time, touch and talk, to advise both new and experienced parents about what helps children to develop and what blocks progress. The book's two core messages are: believe in yourself; and what you do is less important than how you do it.

One of the biggest lessons we have learnt in the last few decades is that it is valuable, important and effective to praise children. Children respond much better to encouragement than they do to punishment, which is why praising them is considered fundamental in helping them develop self-esteem and strong self-belief. However, the wrong kind of praise can do more harm than good, creating children who lose all sense of rational judgement and are too readily wrong-footed when they meet difficulty. In this practical, common-sense guide, Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer reveals why understanding and...
