A revolutionary guide to parenting with confidence, clarity and empathy.
A revolutionary guide to parenting with confidence, clarity, and empathy.
‘Five more minutes!’
‘One more story!’
‘I’m not tired!’
The pressures of modern-day parenting can be relentless, leading us to over-parent, over-explain and over-negotiate with our kids. This may work at first, but it can make it harder for children to build resilience – and exhausting for parents themselves.
Child development specialist Dr Siggie Cohen offers a more balanced approach with her groundbreaking Emotional and Behavioural Proficiency method. Based on over 35 years of supporting families on the frontline of parenting, she sets out her simple and effective tools to help you make parenting feel more grounded, intentional, and connected – even in the hardest of moments.
From managing tantrums and addressing anxieties to navigating big transitions and encouraging sleep, Dr Siggie’s wise and practical book will help you build the confidence and skills you need to raise happy, confident, and resilient children.
