Positive Parenting is a parenting book with a difference. It does not tell you the practicalities of raising a child such as how to potty train, or when to introduce solids foods. Instead, it argues that what really matters is helping children to grow up feeling secure & good about themselves. Children -like adults- perform best when they feel good about themselves. This book will show you how to help your child develop: * positive self-esteem * self-confidence * self reliance Positive self-esteem is the best gift any parent can give their child. Knowing yourself & liking yourself is so often the key to success in life-affecting personal relationships, general motivation & success in work. Using key words like 'praise', 'play', 'touch' & 'talk', this book speaks to new & exerienced parents alike about what helps children develop & what blocks progress. Positive Parenting will empower & encourage, affirming that is okay to do it your way. No matter how difficult parenting may have been in the past, Positive Thinking offers a clear & simple way forward in the most influential relationship of all-that between parent & child
