Description

A search for 'parenting' returns over a billion unique hits on Google. How can parents know which approaches actually work to support their children to be happy, healthy and fulfilled while maintaining their own sanity

Evidence-Based Parenting draws directly on more than 1,200 studies, and indirectly on thousands more, to create a single evidence base and reference manual for parents. This vast knowledge base has been condensed, for the first time, into straightforward ideas to support children's relationships, physical health, learning and play, behaviour, and happiness and well-being.

Providing parents with the knowledge they need to make effective parenting decisions in the context of their own families, Evidence-Based Parenting cuts through the noise of advice and experts to offer parents clear, actionable, research-based recommendations.

'This is the book that every parentneeds. These days parents often feel disempowered by mental health professionals who give advice that often feels counter-intuitive and seldom seems to be supported by evidence. Matilda Gosling has done the work for us as she has studied thevast research that is out there about parenting and distilled her knowledge intopractical and doable suggestions. This book will help parents to figure out what the research actually says when it comes to parenting and equipparents to make parenting decisions from a place of knowledge and confidence' - Stella O'Malley, author of Bully-Proof Kids
