Behave - What to Do When Your Child Won't: The Three Pointers to Mindful Discipline (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780957176515)

'A book with clear signposts and helpful, practical tools to guide parents in a non-judgemental, positive way. Through a combination of "real-life" stories and easy-to-follow techniques, Val Mullally's book tackles parenting challenges by enabling the reader to look at the wider dynamics of each situation. She encourages parents to perceive "bad behaviour" as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and create a co-operative, connected family environment. ... If you seek a mindful, long-term approach to parenting that builds your child's self-esteem and supports their inherent ability to make positive decisions, this will be your bible.'
