What to expect
A revolutionary guide to parenting with confidence, clarity and empathy, from leading child developmental specialist Dr Siggie Cohen.
‘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. In this book, you will find advice on:
- Managing tantrums
- Addressing anxieties
- Navigating big transitions
- Setting boundaries with screen time
- Handling sibling rivalries
- 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.
