An indispensable guide to more peaceful and enjoyable parenting

''This isn''t a parenting advice book, it''s a book about you. The words you read in this book, however, will have a far greater impact on your children, than those contained in any parenting book you could read (and I count my own in that too).''

How many times have you asked yourself ''what''s wrong with me? Why can''t I stay calm?''.

What we don''t realise is that this describes almost every parent there ever was - and ever will be.

In her trademark gentle, supportive and reassuring style, bestselling author Sarah Ockwell-Smith shows that while we all lose it at times, everyone can become a calmer parentBased on her many years'' experience working with parents, Sarah provides research, advice and practical exercises that will set you on the path to calmer parenting that will benefit both you and your child.
