Product Description

Book Description

Imagine a world full of well-balanced individuals who have choice and take responsibility for their actions.

Imagine a world full of parents who help their children to learn effectively, to relate to others in positive and effective ways, to change behaviours that are unhelpful to them and to think in ways that dispel anxieties and give them access to choice.

This book offers parents powerful strategies for giving their children a flying start in life.

Emma Sargent makes these extremely accessible, eminently practical and fills the book with a host of stories that illustrate how easy it can be to coach our children to success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flying Start: Coaching Your Children for Life, 9 Nov 2006
By A. Forsey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is truly wonderful. I use the spelling strategy to help my 8 year old with his homework and now we have no more tantrums and have fun instead. Even I can finally say that "YES, I'm a good speller!!".

The book is simple to read and easy to understand; you really feel like Emma is sat having a conversation with you. It's full of parenting tips that you didn't know you needed, but can't live without.

I also recommended it to 3 of my friends and they are raving about the change in their children's behaviour.

Forget watching Super Nanny, have this as your guide and reference book instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flying Start : Coaching your Children, 25 Jul 2006
This book is an absolute triumph plus it's enjoyable and easy to read. I laughed and cried as it made me feel like a normal Mum not the neurotic parent I felt I had become. I was able to relate the situations to my own two children aged 8 years and 6 years. The methods described are easy to use and they work. I feel closer to my children as I am able to understand their behaviour and act upon problems immediately. Well done to Emma Sargent and thank you. I now have the tools to understand my children and give them a Flying Start.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an Empowering Read!, 31 Jan 2007
By Karen Moxom (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thank you, Emma Sargent. If you want to read a book that offers practical and easy guidance to parenting and REALLY works, then read this one. I read it on holiday, and then immediately asked my husband to read it as well!

Just by asking some simple questions, I now know how to get beyond the fact that school is 'fine', and I also know that my 5 year old can visualise - and by relating things to colours, I have given him the strategies to cope with things he may not be so keen on doing!

Most importantly, I just gained such an insight into how children think - just appreciating this has given me more patience and understanding with my own children. I have also been able to share these techniques with my son's school teachers, which can only help give him the best start in life.

If every parent and teacher could read this book, we really would start making a positive difference.
