This guide speaks in a supportive and non-judgemental tone to parents and other adults who work with children. Authors Dawson and Clarke show why providing children with structure and nurturing is so critical to the development of self-esteem. They also explore the ages and stages of development, ways to nurture ourselves and our children, and tools for personal and family growth. Examples are drawn from down-to-earth child-rearing challenges that any parent will recognise.
