The Gentle Parenting Book

More about the book

Gentle Parenting is mainstream, accessible and backed by science. It is parenting with empathy, respect, understanding and boundaries. In The Gentle Parenting Book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith provides a trustworthy combination of 'what to expect' type information and gentle parenting solutions to the most common challenges faced by parents of young children. Sarah addresses a wide variety of topics including: coping with crying babies; introducing solid foods and creating healthy eating habits; potty training; starting nursery; starting school; coping with homework; coping with bullying; sibling rivalry; tantrums; whining; sulking; aggressive behaviour and much more. In addition the book provides much needed comprehensive information on how to change to a more gentle parenting style for those parents who may have previously been using a more authoritarian style.
