In Parenting
Made Simple, Dr Sarah Hughes offers up straightforward,
practical strategies for common childhood challenges. It is a book full of
valuable tools and skills needed for all ages and stages of childhood growth
and development.
A wealth of knowledge is to be found in this handbook that
delivers effective techniques for raising
well-adjusted children.
The key areas focused on are: challenging
behaviour, emotions and tantrums, confidence, social skills and friendships,
anxiety and parenting well through divorce.
Correct communication, negotiation, mindfulness
practice and how to simplify things when addressing challenging issues are
important factors addressed.
Behaviour management plans and consistency between
parents plus any care giver towards the same child, are defined.
Comprehensive, detailed helpful strategies fill the
pages. The summary at the end of each chapter under the heading The Important Bits, allows the reader to
get a clear brief overview of what has been presented. Several pages of Endnotes
are included.
Chapters also include Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD).
What I have referred to are the bare bones of the
meaty source that is contained in this instructive and invaluable book for
parents.
Dr Hughes imparts her knowledge in simple language
with step-by-step advances on each of the six categories. She looks at both
sides of problems to be solved – the parents’ emotions and the attitude of the
child, in a compassionate and positive way which encourages perseverance and
repetition.
Dr Hughes holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
and a PhD in child and adolescent child disorders.
