Tip of the day

Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Every parent, not those who are just struggling with a manipulative child, will greatly benefit from this book. It is about how to regain control and raise resilient, resourceful and independent children of all ages from pre-school to adolescents. It deals with many issues including learning and development, parental conflict, chores and responsibilities, eating problems and health, depression and emotions, and drug abuse. It encourages a child's self-esteem 'appreciating your own worth and importance' - and it helps you and your child to cope better with the challenges of life. Very good for any parent, easy to read as a one off or to use as an occasional resource.
