New old-fashioned parenting

the long version

There's been a revolution in the family; it's now all about the kids. We've moved on from children being 'seen and not heard', but we're now plagued with the worry of ending up with 'that child' - the one who's running amok and is ill-prepared for life. This book combines contemporary and traditional childrearing methods, bringing fresh thinking to some of the essential parenting issues of our time: Managing screen use Encouraging independence Finding the balance between school and play Compromising between parenting that's pushy and not involved enough.
