Book 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. Cathy has been a foster carer for
over 20 years, during which time she has looked after more than 70
children, of all ages and backgrounds. Cathy runs training courses on
fostering for her local Social Services, and helps draft new fostering
procedures and guidelines. She has three teenage children of her own;
one of whom was adopted after a long-term foster placement. The name
Cathy Glass is a pseudonym.
