Divas & Dictators

The Secrets to Having a Much Better Behaved Child

Summary

Supermarket tantrums? Insufferable car journeys? Sibling in-fighting? Bedtimes that last hours?

Sound familiar?

Behavioural expert Charlie Taylor has the answers in this practical handbook which is full of simple, effective techniques for improving your child's behaviour.

Focusing predominately on the under-fives, Charlie Taylor's straight-talking, no-nonsense approach guides you away from knee-jerk parenting towards a more proactive and positive relationship with your child. With particular emphasis on the power of praise - the basis of his acclaimed 6:1 strategy - and planning in advance for behaviour hotspots, every parent can break the miserable pattern of constant confrontation and repetitive nagging.

With the insights and methods of Divas and Dictators, including a handy Troubleshooter's Guide, every household with young children can quickly transform from havoc to harmony.
