When the Parents Change, Everything Changes
What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
The culture of any home is determined by the parents. If you can remain unflappably calm in the face of every supermarket tantrum and sarcastic eye-roll, order will soon follow.
Here, bestselling author Paul Dix reveals how to turn even the most chaotic home into an oasis of calm – by focusing not on your children’s behaviour, but on your own. You will never need to raise your voice again.

Critics Review
-
This book is an absolute game-changer. Paul manages to impart practical wisdom about our behaviour as parents - and how small changes have huge impacts - without ever sounding preachy. I laughed, nodded, winced a few times and most importantly felt inspired to make slow, incremental changes to how we do things in our house. Warm, funny and extraordinarily helpful. A must-read for anyone who looks after children.
SARAH TURNER, aka The Unmumsy Mum

In this fantastic book Paul empowers us parents to put our energy and focus where we can have the most influence: over our own behaviour. With wit and warmth, he teaches us the most miraculous thing - that when we change, our children change too. This is a book every parent needs to read.

Many of us have children. Not enough of us truly parent. In this transformative book, Paul Dix offers a simple method to revolutionise the culture in your home - one that will change your children's behaviour and yours. He gets it: the most important part of high performance is high-performance parenting, and this book shows you how to get there.
Jake Humphrey, author of High Performance

A highly practical, down-to-earth, well-reasoned book. It would enrich the parenting of anyone.
Barry Carpenter OBE, Professor of Mental Health in Education, Oxford Brookes University

Paul Dix has an approach that I love: he understands that when you see a child differently, you see a different child. For years he has been passionate about supporting teachers and children in the classroom, and in this brilliant book he shares his valuable insights to support families too.
KATE SILVERTON, author of No Such Thing as 'Naughty'
-
The principle at the heart of Paul Dix's book is singularly powerful: that if we want to build a loving, resilient relationship with our children, we need to start with ourselves.
TINA PAYNE BRYSON co-author of The Whole-Brain Child
-
Another fabulous book from Paul. Sound, sensible advice for families because we know that schools only see children for a fraction of their lives. All parents and carers should read this book and learn the ‘six steps to stay in control’ – helping families be better able to help themselves.
MAUREEN MCKENNA, former Director of Education, Glasgow

I became a better mother in two weeks . . . How simple techniques, and a different way of thinking, can change the entire atmosphere at home . . . and when that happens, children’s behaviour changes, too.
