Book description
As a mother, are you comfortable in your skin?
Want to know how best to be a stay-at-home or working mum?
Babies have very simple needs, yet many parents are overwhelmed with
elaborate advice on how to meet them. In How Not to F*** Them
Up, leading child psychologist Oliver James argues that your
under-threes do not need training; it's getting your head straight as
a parent that's important.
Drawing on extensive interviews and the lastest clinical research,
James identifies three basic types of mum: the Hugger, the Organiser
and the Fleximum. Outlining the benefits and pitfalls of each, How
Not to F*** Them Up shows you how to recognise which style suits
you best and outlines simple strategies to reconcile personal
ambitions with the needs of your family.
Empowering and provocative, Oliver James will help you make the best
choices for bringing up a happy, confident child.
Oliver James trained and practised as a child clinical psychologist
and, since 1988, has worked as a writer, journalist, broadcaster and
television documentary producer and presenter. His books include the
bestselling
They F*** You Up, Affluenza
and
Contented Dementia
