It also looks at key issues - including attitudes to money, work, having children, relationships with the in-laws - and helps couples to begin to work through some of these issues in advance of the big day, to identify potential areas of tension and to set in place good principles for their married life together.

One minute we are juggling the dawn scramble for p.e. kit, packing lunchboxes and dealing with toddler tantrums in the supermarket queue and then before we know it, they are filling in job applications. Did we do it right? Did we do it well? There is no one way to be the perfect parent. But there are a hundred ways to be a great parent. This hilarious, engaging little book is packed full with great ideas to help any really really busy parent find that extra minute, to enjoy their kids and to make the very most of every precious moment. Within these few pages are ideas strategies and principles that can revolutionise not only the way we parent, but also the way we feel about our parenting.

From that first angelic role in the nativity play to that first playground love, from cut knees and scuffed shoes, school bullies and World Book Day costume design, life as a parent in the primary years is an emotional rollercoaster. Amid the practical chaos of finding swimming goggles, making packed lunches, cleaning out the rabbit and refereeing sibling squabbles over screen time, many of us long for some help - a little wisdom to get us through. Here is that help. Revised in light of the pandemic and complete with up-to-the-minute resources, this second edition is filled with memorable sayings, relatable stories and clever cartoons to help steer you through this challenging season of parenting, and to reassure you that you're not alone - someone else struggles with feeling judged, with knowing how long to 'count to ten' for, and someone else also accidentally killed Finny the class goldfish over half-term ... (they'll never know the difference)! So put the kettle on, make a cup of tea, and if you forget everything else as a parent, remember this ...
