Some children haven’t read the parenting manuals. They are devastatingly consistent, set firm boundaries for their parents and any time you try a parenting technique, you find it used right back at you with. ‘I’m counting to 3…’ they say, when you refuse to buy another ice cream, and you’re left wondering how you ended up here.
It’s not your fault. You have the wrong books. Some children need something different, and in fact, for them, traditional parenting methods (like the naughty step, or time out, or sticker charts) make things worse.
In this popular series, Naomi teams up with Eliza Fricker, illustrator and author, to create The Art of Low Demand Parenting. It’s for children (and adults) who need something different.
These are signs that you are experiencing burnout - your battery has taken a battering and you are running on empty. Many people think burnout only happens to adults, but it's something lots of teenagers experience too.
This book will help you to understand what burnout is, how you got there and what you can do to get back to a life you enjoy.
A down-to-earth illustrated guide for parents of children who just haven't read the parenting books.
Some children just haven't read the parenting books. The harder you try, the worse it gets. There's a hidden contract at the heart of parenting. It's the idea that if parents just get it right, their children can be made to do what they want. Manuals explain how to make it very clear to your children what you want them to do - and how to respond when they don't cooperate.
Are mealtimes a battle - and the harder you try, the worse it gets? Maybe you need a low demand approach to food. We'll show you how.
