'A distinctly fresh take for today's generation of uncertain parents'
Product Description
As an often insecure mum of two children herself and a clinical psychologist, Dr Tanya Byron knows about parenting from both a professional and personal perspective. Rather than separate the two, Tanya infuses her professional knowledge with personal insight and the result is advice that really does work. She offers the practical tools to deal with any situation or behaviour, and also helps parents to understand the whys and have the confidence to handle anything life as a parent throws their way.This is the ultimate guide to positive parenting. Tanya's hope is that once a parent has read her book, they won't need her or anyone else's advice again — because they will trust and believe in their own instincts, and follow the signs their child gives them.

Great Book!,
By Techno Dood "AJ" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Child ... Your Way: Create a Positive Parenting Pattern for Life (Paperback)
Review by a dad. Well done Tanya, this is a great book which is well written and easy to read. The best thing about this book is that the author, who is a mum herself, is realistic and practical. She focuses on achieving long term results and not just 'quick fixes'. She also makes parents think about their own behaviour rather than focusing on children and labelling them as 'naughty' or 'troublesome'. Great, realistic advice and it works if you are prepared to put in the hardwork. The book also deals with some specific probelms which weren't really relevant to me - but I know where to turn if I need the advice.

Excellent, a must read for all parents,

This review is from: Your Child ... Your Way: Create a Positive Parenting Pattern for Life (Paperback)
I am a clinical psychologist myself and frequently recommend this book to families at work. It is easy to read, straightforward but most importantly addresses both the 'what to do' aspects of parenting and also the 'why are we struggling with this'. Parents are encouraged to think about themselves in their parenting and how impossible it is to parent without taking account of our own beliefs, emotions and histories. Easily the best parenting book available.

Top tips for dealing with toddlers and young children's behaviour,
By Tall Elly (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Child ... Your Way: Create a Positive Parenting Pattern for Life (Paperback)
Those of your familiar with Dr Tanya Byron's television programmes will know that her style of behaviour management is less about sticking the child on a "naughty step" and more focussed on encouraging parents to explore how their own behaviours and the environment around the child are impacting on the child in the first place.
Her book is useful in helping frazzled and frustrated parents step back from the situation, reflect on the 'triggers' and background to the problem behaviour they are trying to address, and provide humane and positive methods to reward and reinforce good behaviour. Its tone is refreshingly non-judgemental; Byron does not purport to know all the answers and never presumes to lecture the parents on how things must be done. Instead she claims to try and 'empower' parents to make their own decisions as the people who know the child in question best. I would recommend this book to all parents, as it encourages you to look at key aspects of parenting and might be a good way of preventing negative patterns of behaviour from becoming established in the first place. For parents of children who have problems with eating, sleeping, tantrums etc., this book won't provide easy answers, but would possibly offer a good starting point for working towards some solutions.
