Book Nook: The Mother's Manual

It’s something that confuses most soon-to-be parents – how on earth are they going to be able to bring up their new bundle of joy without some kind of manual? Well, worry no more, because one UK healthcare practitioner, parent coach has written a guide that answers every question and challenge parents could possibly face.

The Mother’s Manual: Your Kids Won’t Be Delivered With A Manual, Here is Your Copy’ is the new Bible for parents of children up to five years old. In short, parenting no longer has to be a puzzle!

I had a chance to interview the author to learn more.
After working 20 years in the field of health visiting, I realised that people are still quite ignorant about the process and impact of parenting as 20 years earlier. I was talking about the same stuff for all those years repetitively. A couple of typical examples are temperature control for the newborn and behavioural management around toddler age. I bet you can go to a playgroup or a nursery finding some children who hit others or biting is another common behaviour displayed at this age. What surprises me is not those behaviours but carers including parents and grandparents’ responses to these issues. Children do what they naturally do as part of their developmental process. They are not bad. Parents didn’t do anything wrong to cause it in the first place. It is all now down to the carers’ ability and understanding to how to communicate to children effectively that not only achieve the outcome the carers want but in a way that’s going to benefit the children’s future in a way of bringing out their creativity rather than killing it. Undo the wrong cost years of time and enduring pain for the children to go through their adulthood. So it's important to get it (parenting) right to the parent’s best ability at least consciously making those choices.
