Before your kids drive you crazy, read this! - Nigel Latta

Do your kids sometimes make you feel like your head is going to explode? Have you ever yelled until you were hoarse? Do you ever have days when all you feel like doing is making a run for the airport? Why is it so hard to be the parent you thought you would be? For harassed parents struggling to understand why they end up screaming at their kids and tearing their hair out trying to make them understand that bad behaviour has consequences, here's the perfect book to help your family make it through the crucial first decade or so and actually enjoy each other's company. Practical commonsense answers and examples from actual cases, logical and realistic strategies, and innovative behaviour modification tools that work in the real world - all from a parent and family therapist who's seen almost everything there is to see and offers some hard-won battlefield wisdom. Written in down-to-earth language, this book should be handed out at birth, an essential guide for the struggling parent who knows family life can and should be better.
