Some children haven't read the parenting books. They refuse point blank to go into Time Out and the stricter your boundaries are, the worse their behaviour becomes.

These children need a different approach. They need low demand parenting. Their parents need to come alongside them and work with them to find a way which works for everyone. They stop focusing on control and instead shift to collaboration.

When this works, it can be a great relief for everyone. But there's a problem. Other people.

Low demand parenting is a thoughtful, responsive style of parenting, but it doesn't follow the rules which many think define 'good parenting'. No punishments, no rewards. This means that others may judge what is going on, and find it wanting.

In this webinar, Dr Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker will take their characteristic down-to-earth and humourous approach to navigating the world of Other People. They'll take on tutting in the supermarket, disapproval in the playground, and grandparents who can't see why you don't insist on Saying Please. And they'll discuss what happens when parents disagree about the right approach, or when professionals get involved.
