Synopsis: Your commonsense, practical guide to getting your kids back on track and creating a happier home. Being a parent can be tough and there are times when you just don’t have all the answers.For parents finding themselves faced with a seemingly endless spiral of conflict, poor behaviour and ineffective discipline, this is the evidence-based, step-by-step parenting programme you need. The first step is to develop a strong relationship between you and your child. Once this has been established, further steps will help you to build a toolkit of effective parenting strategies. The final step shows you how to introduce a clear, easy-to-implement discipline system that actually works.The result is a programme that teaches children to take ownership of their behaviour, and that can be used in all of the child’s environments — at home, at school, when they are with family and friends. In addition, it’s proven to be effective on children who have been diagnosed with behavioural disorders such as ADHD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, or explosive and non-compliant behaviour.
