Understanding parenting by thinking about who is a child, what is a parent, and why does a child need a parent, leaves dogma behind and brings the reader to the reality of daily living. Combining her experience as a mother and grandmother with her studies in psychology and social work, the author presents a warm and human way of understanding the nature and needs of children. Parents and professionals working with children will find this a helpful book for understanding the needs of children, developing an awareness of their individual differences and observing how behaviour is learned.
