Raising Happy Children: What Every Child Needs Their Parents to Know - From 0 to 7 Years - Softcover
Each age has had its own 'voice of authority', from Dr Spock to Penelope Leach. Raising Happy Children is different. Supportive, informative and honest, it draws not only from the hands-on experience of its authors, but from a wide range of practical experts in their field. Contributors range from the obstetrician Yehudi Gordon to the director of the Institute for Family Therapy, Hugh Jenkins.
There has never been greater need for a book which shows understanding of the pressures and stresses on parents, while teaching them the much-needed practical skills. Picking up where most books leave off, its detailed and thought-provoking content focuses on the tough problems, contentious issues and crucial questions faced by all parents.
This is a book to enable - not to preach. Pragmatic and parent-friendly, humorous and intelligent, Raising Happy Children provides all the information and options you need to negotiate vital and stressful areas of parenthood.

Review:
Raising Happy Children sets out to provide "real solutions for real families", focusing on child development from newborn to age seven. This may seem an overly ambitious target for a single text but Parker and Stimpson have succeeded on providing a readable, highly informative book which tackles some of the toughest issues facing parents and children today. The age-old problems of sleeping, feeding and discipline are addressed but so are the increasingly common childhood experiences of divorce, step-families and the pressure to succeed. All are approached with a realism and sensitivity that leaves the reader better informed rather than instructed, an achievement which is underpinned by useful contributions from parents and an impressive array of specialists.
Review:
The authors stress the importance of communication both for parents and children, and openly advocate the treatment of children as children but also as individuals deserving of respect. However, there is no dogma to this book, only advice and ideas offered in a non-judgmental, positive style. It is a book about helpful strategies for preventing problems occurring and imaginative ways of dealing with common problems where they do arise. It will not solve all your child-raising problems but it should supply some new ideas and, so often, that is exactly what we need. --Louise Ellison
"I couldn't recommend it highly enough." -- Mary Mcleod, Childline
"The mixture of personal experience, professional expertise and large helpings of humour make this a much needed and very accessible book." -- Vivienne Gross, The Institute of Family Therapy
"tackles the thorny question of discipline in a way that respects the needs of both children and parents." -- Eileen Hayes, Parenting Advisor to the NSPCC
I wish parents of previous generations had read this book. Growing up would have been much more fun. -- Jose von Biihler, British association for Sexual and Relationship therapy
Raising Happy Children is about how to help children grow up feeling comfortable with themselves and with other people. -- Dr Dorothy Rowe, Psychologist and Writer
