Want to know the secret to tackling tantrums and tears, stopping squabbles in seconds AND lay the foundations for your child's good mental health in the process?

Kate smashed her objective in helping you to understand the workings of a child’s brain in an accessible way. I listened to this as a lot of my friends are having children and I didn’t want to be that judgemental friend. This book has helped me to not only understand how a child’s brain works and how to handle challenging situations but also the difficulties for parents in managing their children just because of the circumstances people find themselves in because they’re parents. I have so much more sympathy for parents.
Kate is a great orator; I really enjoyed listening to her reading her book. Some laugh out loud moments.
I have recommended this to all my friends who are parents and even my boss who has been having issues with her son.
A worthwhile listen

Thought provoking and fascinating even for a non parent
