The Art of Low Demand Parenting
Some children haven’t read the parenting manuals. They are devastatingly consistent, set firm boundaries for their parents and any time you try a parenting technique, you find it used right back at you with. ‘I’m counting to 3…’ they say, when you refuse to buy another ice cream, and you’re left wondering how you ended up here.
It’s not your fault. You have the wrong books. Some children need something different, and in fact, for them, traditional parenting methods (like the naughty step, or time out, or sticker charts) make things worse.
In this popular series, Naomi teams up with Eliza Fricker, illustrator and author, to create The Art of Low Demand Parenting. It’s for children (and adults) who need something different.
