Advice about how to be a great parent from the co-host of Parental
Guidance What does it mean to be a good parent? Are you a good
parent when your child is compliant, but a bad parent when they're
not? What if they're perfect at age three and challenging at
thirteen? And what if your child has additional needs? This is a
book about parenting styles and what it takes to be a great parent.
We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range
parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents
and iPhone 6 parents? We can parent in so many ways, but is there a
style that actually works? Can science help us discern fad from
fact so we can unpack a right way to parent? Justin Coulson
believes so. Drawing on up-to-the-minute research in parenting
science, as well as studies of childhood development, he shows: how
our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic
psychological needs; how our job is not to fix our kids, but to
create an environment that supports their needs; and how children
flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and
involvement, and establish healthy boundaries. Not all children are
the same and Justin considers a range of circumstances that you or
your child might be in - including children with non-typical
development. His overall message - that we parent best when we
parent ourselves - offers reassurance, strategies and a sound way
forward.
