Advice about how to be a great parent from the co-host of Parental Guidance What does it mean to be a good parent? Are you a good parent when your child is compliant, but a bad parent when they're not? What if they're perfect at age three and challenging at thirteen? And what if your child has additional needs?This is a book about parenting styles and what it takes to be a great parent. We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents or iPhone 6 parents? So many styles, but is there one that actually works? Justin Coulson believes so. Drawing on up-to-the-minute research in parenting science as well as studies of childhood development, he shows: how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs; how our job is not to fix our kids, but to create an environment that supports their growth and development; and how children flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and involvement, and establish healthy boundaries.Not all children are the same, and Justin considers a range of circumstances that you or your child might be in - including children with non-typical development. His revolutionary approach and practical strategies will encourage you to change the way you parent forever.

"There has never been a better time to be a teenage girl. But perhaps there has never been a harder time. Parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson interviewed and surveyed close to 400 teenage girls to find out about the challenges our daughters face with social media, friends, boys, anxiety, identity and more. In Miss-Connection, he draws on their responses as well as cutting-edge psychology research to explain how we can help and connect with our teenage daughters while recognising the reality of their world and offering reassurance and solutions."--Publisher's description.
