Description: ‘In this book I offer practical and realistic advice for parents about how to manage their children’s behaviour. As with my books for teachers, it is written in a realistic and down to earth way. I give tips and strategies that will help you deal with all the behaviour issues that you face, from getting the basics right, through to dealing with more serious problems. As a teacher I’ve dealt with the behaviour of literally thousands of different children; as a parent I understand just how stressful managing behaviour 24/7 can be. The strategies that I outline in this book are simple to understand and put into practice, but will make an amazing difference to your children’s behaviour.’ Sue Cowley
