How to Be The Grown-Up (Paperback)

Drawing on her years of experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr Martha understands the questions all parents face:

How can I make my child listen to me?

How can I stop a tantrum in its tracks?

What can I do when my child feels sad?

Why is my child a picky eater and what can I do about it?

What should I do when I lose my temper?

With humour, boundless energy, wit and warmth, Dr Martha tackles it all; from how to talk about honesty and lies, death, co-parenting, consent, gender, attachment, boundaries, and tantrums, as well as the small but critical daily challenges parents face. She explains why beneath each dilemma, it's the behaviours and s we learned as children that shape the parents we become.

This deceptively simple and always empathetic guide is a must-have toolkit for parents or any grown-up interested in what makes a healthy, happy, confident parent and child.
