Parenting is one of life’s special privileges. However, the complexity of parenting, and its related dynamics, is often unfairly examined. Difficulties within the parent-child dynamic are often attributed to a problem rooted within the child. Society then projects this message. Parents are rarely encouraged to self-reflect and seldom signposted to the resources that can offer beneficial support and self-help. Therefore, parents need all the help they can get!

The Alternative A-Z of Being a Brilliant Parent! meets this need by being your personal guide and self-help book that provides you – the parent – with an opportunity to pause, recall and honestly reflect upon your own behaviour and its roots. This also give you time to examine whether you would like to change aspects of your own parenting style, prior to re-engaging with your child.

By exploring an array of parenting subjects such as ‘boundaries’ and ‘inner child’, and those that are less obvious, including ‘environment’ and ‘pruning’, this book will support you.
