Parenting is one of life’s special privileges. However, the complexity of parenting, and its related dynamics, is often unfairly examined. Difficulties within the parent-child dynamic are attributed to a problem rooted within the child and society often projects this message. However increasingly, parents are encouraged to self-reflect and are signposted to the resources that can offer beneficial support and self-help.

 

The Alternative A-Z of being a Brilliant Parent! is a self-help book, which was created to give parents the opportunity to pause, recall and honestly self-reflect upon their own behaviour and its roots.  For some parents, tracing those roots might take some time, for others those roots may be closer to the surface.  The book gives parents an opportunity to examine whether they would like to change certain aspects of their parenting style, prior to re-engaging with their child.

 

By exploring an array of parenting subjects such as, ‘boundaries’ and ‘influence’, and those that are less obvious, including ‘pruning’ and the ‘X-Factor’, The Alternative A-Z of being a Brilliant Parent! will enable parents and carers to dig deep into the business of parenting, whilst they strive to become a better, if not brilliant parent!
