Product Description
Product Description
A fresh and practical guide to successfully managing children’s behaviour – from babies to young adults.
Cathy Glass has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during this time fostering more than 50 children, as well as bringing up three of own. Many of these children have had severe behavioural difficulties and have come to Cathy as a last resort, when their parents or carers were no longer able to cope.
Drawing on a combination of years of training and extensive personal experience, in this comprehensive guide, Cathy passes on her tried and tested methods for guiding, nurturing and disciplining children.
Approaching child development chronologically, this book guides you through Cathy's incredibly simple and effective 3Rs technique: Request, Repeat and Reassure.
Within this framework, Cathy addresses a host of childcare issues, including, amongst others, why children misbehave and what parents can do to the change this, how diet can affect children's behaviour, what parents can do to avoid sibling rivalry, and how to spot and address the behavioural symptoms of special needs such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD and bipolar.
Applicable to all age groups - from newborn babies to young adults - Happy Kids is a clear and concise guide to raising confident, well-behaved and happy children.

This book is full of really useful advice. The suggestions are easy to follow and make good sense. I have already learnt a lot about children and child psychology from Cathy's true life stories and this book continues nicely. Not at all heavy going and funny in parts. I will use it as a parent and in my work as a newly qualified nursery nurse.Happy Kids: The Secrets to Raising Well-Behaved, Contented Children

This is yet another fantastic book by the very experienced Cathy Glass. The book is very easy to read, follow and has a great quick reference guide too.
I honestly think this book is a must for all people involved in looking after children should it be your own or children you look after in whatever capacitiy.
I now apply the 3R's to my own children and children I care for and can honestly verify that Cathy's 3R technique does work whatever the childrens age or behaviour problem. I am sure it will work for you too!

This is the book I have been hoping Cathy Glass would write so others can benefit from her wide experience in looking after and raising children. I have read many of her other books and this new one is in the same clear and easy to read style that she is noted for. Although there are many books on raising children it is refreshing to find one of such practical use with a clearly explained technique that really works and can be used by all parents. I think many behavioural problems would be avoided completely or resolved at an early stage before becoming more serious problems if this book is widely read and the 3Rs system she explains is used. An excellent book and one that deserves to be yet another best seller from this author.
