Additional Information

What kinds (and amounts) of screen time boost learning and development--and what kinds may be harmful? When is the right age for a game console or a smartphone? How can kids and teens be protected from cyberbullying and learn to be good digital citizens? What impact do parents' technology habits have?

What emotional needs a toddler or older child may be expressing through difficult behaviour. How your own upbringing affects your parenting style--and what you can do about it.

What our children do can reveal much about ourselves as parents: if a five-year-old won't go to sleep alone, who needs evening cuddles, us or him? If we are bothered when our child is bored, is it because we view ourselves as useless unless we are ticking off tasks? If we think our children are careless, is it because we are too perfectionist?

Market: Parents, carers and family members who are new to the concept of therapeutic parenting; supporting professionals such as social workers, counsellors and therapists working with looked after children.
