From the Back Cover
As any parent of a school-age child knows, daily life with a 4–11-year-old is never dull. The parenting trials come thick and fast. Just as you think you’ve sorted out one thorny little issue, along comes another to test your wits and your patience.
These pages are packed full of useful advice and information on a whole range of topics. You’ll discover what other parents have done and benefit from the wisdom of child psychologists and other experts, for issues such as:
· friendships, falling out and bullying
· horrid habits and bad behaviour
· bedtime battles and sleepovers
· homework and ‘how many hobbies’
· food fads and mealtime misbehaviour
· screen time and safety
· pocket money, presents and parties
· telling lies and dealing with fears
· growing up and going out
If you want to be prepared for anything and stay in control when behaviour becomes bothersome, this is the book for you.

Raising Children The Primary Years - an excellent book,
By
This review is from: Raising Children: the Primary Years: Everything Parents Need to Know - from Homework and Horrid Habits to Screentime and Sleepovers (Paperback)
Raising Children The Primary Years is a must have read for all parents and carers of primary school children. It's packed full of information and tips on how to deal with young children from 'eating your greens' through to behaviour, bereavement and divorce. I'm not aware of any other books on the market that give so much relevant information for children of this age. It is sensitively written and the respect for children shines throughout this book. As a parent of young children I will keep this book close at hand as I will be dipping in and out of it as new issues arise throughout their childhood. The information given by the Parent Panel is both informative and relevant, as is the information provided by experts. The author has managed to write in a clear and positive way, without ever being condescending. I highly recommend this book.

What a find!,
This review is from: Raising Children: the Primary Years: Everything Parents Need to Know - from Homework and Horrid Habits to Screentime and Sleepovers (Paperback)
What a great book! Babies come with manuals, little people at primary school don't. This book is a great find - you can dip in and out as each chapter is headed up clearly and logically. Whether you've got a fussy eater, a son who's trying out swearing, a madam who watches too much TV or a child who won't do their homework - there's suggestions here for what you could do to resolve the situation. I like the way the author has asked "real" parents how they deal with issues and she has also enlisted the help of two parenting experts who offer timely advice. She has also included what she terms "background info", which sets the scene for each scenario and then offers a list of possible solutions, plus quotes from parents who've "been there and done that". However the tone is never patronising - what a winner! Highly recommended.

a goldmine of a book,
By Reader (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Children: the Primary Years: Everything Parents Need to Know - from Homework and Horrid Habits to Screentime and Sleepovers (Paperback)
What an excellent book. This book covers pretty much the full spectrum of parenting issues for the age range 4-11, ie the primary school years. It covers all the practical stuff like TV time, food and sleep battles, bullying, pocket money etc. But it also deals with tricky situations such as whether it's okay to discipline someone else's child in your house, `undesirable' playmates, or when your child asks you about sex or death etc. It's clearly evidence based. There's a lot of research quoted within the book (though it's occasionally rather too vaguely referenced: "a german study showed..." rather than details of researchers and date) as well as plenty of expert advice from child psychologists. I was pleasantly surprised at how many sensible and useful suggestions there were here, both from the author and her `parent panel'. The book is a bit like having a room full of sensible friends in one place trying to help with your latest parenting dilemma. I was also relieved that none of the suggestions were overly controlling or of the Gina Ford `tough love' style. In fact the book conveys an inherent respect for children rather than assuming parenting is about controlling or `fixing' a series of inconvenient problems to make children fit the mechanics of the adult world. To quote the author: "Our job as parents is to GUIDE them and NURTURE them into becoming balanced, functioning adults." (The capitals are my own). Hughes-Joshi's style of writing is accessible and straightforward without being dry. In fact it was really funny in places. It felt authoritative without being in the slightest bit patronising. As far as I know, there's nothing else like this book currently out there for this age group. We have already found it extremely helpful with our four year old. I would certainly recommend it.
