The Parenting Puzzle book is based on the Nurturing Programme, a well-established and highly respected 10-week programme that encourages parents and carers to enjoy bringing up children and get the best out of family life. It helps us understand how feelings influence our actions, and offers many positive, practical ways of guiding children so they learn to handle both their feelings and their behaviour. It suggests ways of helping children and parents to feel good about themselves and to develop positive relationships. In a clear, direct and sympathetic style, using cartoons, practical activities and feedback, the book is designed to reflect the powerful experience of being in a parenting group. It can be used alone, in the family, or during family support sessions. It is a valuable resource for professionals working with children or supporting families, such as family support workers, teachers, health visitors and more. New concepts and skills build on each other. They weave together the parenting strategies and qualities that develop healthy self-esteem, self-awareness, communication and relationship skills, positive discipline, empathy and appropriate expectations. The book also emphasises the importance of parents looking after themselves. From the early years to adolescence and beyond, The Parenting Puzzle is a toolbox to rely on and refer to at any time.
