"Irreverently useful tips on raising a happy family"
If you are tired of being told what to do by people who always seem to know better than you, this is the book to read.
It has heaps of commonsense advice that makes you think about your parenting style and often highlights what you already knew but got lost in the quagmire of information out there!
It's informative and the advice is easily understood and can be implemented in real life with REAL kids.
Best of all – it is written in a chatty conversational style which further breaks any mental block you may have to reading more advice.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading it and using it!
"The best adolecent self help book ever written!"
Cannot praise this book enough!! A fantastic self help guide for parents who need a little direction and understading how their teenagers brain is actually working. It has saved my daughters life, mine & my marriage! Easy reading non preaching take what you want from it!
"Great book"
If you are having trouble with your kids, even for little annoying things, this is the book to read. Some great little tips for mums, dads and even grand parents.
".Hilariously funny commensense parenting advice."
All the adult members of our family, which included grandparents and parents
of young children and babies read this book from cover to cover and absorbed all
the sensible good advice in it. I am taking my copy over to the UK with me to
give to another daughter with a 2yr old child.
It has already proved helpful in our handling of little people, and I just wish
that the advice had been available when I was bringing up my own children.
"Straight shooting parenting at its best"
This is a parenting book written for real parents facing the reality of bringing up children in a world that is fast becoming far too serious. Nigel Latta has peeled away the complicated jargon that is evident in many parenting books and left a series of useful tips and common sense advice. His refreshing look at parenting outlines strategies that can be used by anyone and acknowledges that we need to give ourselves a break on the days when nothing seems to go right! Although this book may not be popular with all mainstream professionals it will appeal to the average parent who is just trying to survive.
