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.

How can you be low demand parents, whilst your child goes to school? What can you do to take the pressure off and give them the space to thrive? That's what we'll be discussing in this new webinar.
Some children are pressure-sensitive. They react to traditional parenting methods in unexpected ways. The more their parents try to set firm boundaries or implement reward systems, the worse things get.
How can you make space for yourself, whilst also doing the best you can for your children? How can you make sure your own needs matter, when your child's needs are so high that they can't be put aside? Is it even possible for life to feel more sustainable?

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.
