-          Parents will want to read this book either to reassure themselves that what they’re already doing is right, but also to find out what those things actually are

-          The book is intelligent, practical and extremely thought provoking

-          It’s high quality and substantive: there are loads of ideas, practical advice and skills to help parents help their kids to become well-balanced, happy and independent people.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Nothing matters more than your children – and of course you want to do the best you can for them, and be the very best parent you can be. But how do you know if you’re getting it right? It’s simply not possible to do everything – life is busy and you’ve never got as much time as you’d like. So, what actually matters most when it comes to raising happy, healthy, well balanced children?

 

The 10 Most Important Things You Can Do for Your Children answers this burning question and many others, including:

 

¨       What are the vital things I absolutely must do, come what may?

¨       What’s the best way to spend the time we have together?

¨       What can I teach my children that will have the most positive impact on their lives?

¨       What little things will make the biggest difference to their happiness now and success in the future?

 

The book sets out the vital principles that will ensure your children have the best childhood and are set up for the most fulfilling adulthood possible. After all, that’s what we all want for our children, and if we get that right, we can stop worrying about the little things that don’t really matter.

 

Together, the 10 chapters will equip you with all the most important skills you will need to get your children safely from toddlerhood to the end of their teens and beyond, and leave you knowing you did the very best job you could have possibly done.
