About the Publisher
Why another book on child rearing? The idea came from my readers. After the publication of my fostering memoirs I received thousands of emails from parents and childcare workers around the world. They sent their love and best wishes for the children I had written about, and also praised me for the way I had managed the children’s often very difficult behaviour:
I tried that method and it worked …
What a good idea …
My son used to be very controlling so I handled it as you did and (amazingly) he stopped.
I’d never thought of dealing with my daughter’s tantrums that way before …
I now talk to my children rather than at them.
You should write a book!
Their comments made me realise that the techniques I use for successfully changing children’s unacceptable behaviour were not universally known – indeed far from it. I wasn’t sure I knew what I did, only that it worked. So I began analysing how I approached guiding, disciplining and modifying children’s behaviour, the psychology that lay behind my techniques and why they worked. This book is the result.
As a parent you want the best for your child: you want them to be a happy, self-assured individual who can fit confidently into society.
As a parent you are responsible for making that happen. There will be others involved in forming your child – teachers, siblings, friends, relatives, etc. – who will have some influence on your child, but ultimately your son or daughter will be the product of your parenting, good and bad.
