INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Parenting doesn't come with a manual, but if it did, it would be this one.' Myleene Klass

'Brilliant ... Dr Martha has guidance for almost every sticky moment.' i Paper
Drawing on her years of experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr Martha understands the questions all parents face:


  • How can I make my child listen to me?
  • How can I stop a tantrum in its tracks?
  • What can I do when my child feels sad?
  • Why is my child a picky eater and what can I do about it?
  • What should I do when I lose my temper?

  • With humour, boundless energy, wit and warmth, Dr Martha tackles it all; from how to talk about honesty and lies, death, co-parenting, consent, gender, attachment, boundaries, and tantrums, as well as the small but critical daily challenges parents face. She explains why beneath each dilemma, it's the behaviours and scripts we learned as children that shape the parents we become.
    This deceptively simple and always empathetic guide is a must-have toolkit for parents or any grown-up interested in what makes a healthy, happy, confident parent and child.
    'Martha is my go-to expert for parenting. This book is full of real-life examples, lived experiences, useful strategies and so much reassurance.' Charlotte Stirling-Reed, bestselling author of How to Wean Your Baby
