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.

This is a fantastic book which is easy to read and digest. The practical bits are easy to use and results are pretty quick.

I think, unlike other parenting books webster stratton reminds us that if we act positively to children they will react positively back.

My friend has just started reading this and attending the course in Wales and the difference in her four year old girl is fantastic. From moody, rude and obstructive to relaxed, conversant and pleasant! Top tips include praising the good SPECIFICALLY and ignoring the bad (unless it gets out of control). 10 mins a day playing with them, the way they want to play. I was so impressed I have just ordered the book. Based on a study of 3000 families - the most comprehensive study ever done on children and behaviours. Highly recommended.
