It's time for school, and your child refuses to put on her clothes. You can sense her anxiety and the impending tantrum. This familiar scene can make parents feel powerless, unable to calm their child's fears or the resultant negative behaviour.

Description

Dame Sue Bagshaw, MD, and psychologist Michael Hempseed are here to tell you: there is hope! Tantrums and anger are common behaviours, but instead of blaming poor parenting or too much screen time, Calming Your Child looks at the root causes, including anxiety, depression, and sensory issues, and other psychological factors. It explains the research and helpful techniques in a simple, accessible way.

Every child is different, so this guidebook provides a variety of methods to strengthen your bond with your child and combat behaviour issues, all while gaining a better understanding of the way your child sees the world.
