By understanding why children behave in a particular way we are in a better position to help them. Is your child’s behaviour ‘normal’? How can you deal with ‘bad’ behaviour? What is ADHD? This book aims to answer these questions, from infancy to pre-teenager. If a child is difficult to manage, if parenting doesn’t come easily or if you want to improve your relationship with a child as a parent, teacher or carer, this book offers some strategies that you can try. It will also help you decide whether you need expert help and, if so, where to find it.
