Foreword by Michael Morpurgo
Some children need a lot of help if they're ever going to learn to read. But what's the best way to help them? How can you get your child to read if he just doesn't like books? And what if you don't read much yourself? This book has the answers.
Quick Reads is a World Book Day initiative
"if I had a pound for every time somebody came in saying that they couldn't get their kids to read, well, I wouldn't need to teach swimming anymore. The aptly named Patience unpicks the mysteries of getting them to succeed, with extra tips from the likes of the afore-praised Stoppard, Charlie Higson and Adrian Chiles. Barrington Stoke are surely the hardest working publisher in show biz in getting youngsters reading." Families on Line

A Contented House with Twins unites the UK’s leading baby expert, Gina Ford, and the highly regarded television presenter Alice Beer, a mother of twin girls. Discovering you are expecting twins is both an exciting and a thoroughly terrifying prospect. Within weeks of the arrival of her beautiful daughters, Alice found that she was ‘screaming out for a routine’ and craving the knowledge of mothers who had been through it with two.

  • what you can expect in a multiple pregnancy
  • how to feed two at once
  • what to do when they each want a different story or both want a hug
  • how to cope ... more

Paperback
Author: Nigel Latta
Published by: HarperCollins New Zealand
In Stock: 1
By popular demand, New Zealand’s most popular parenting writer has drawn on his extensive experience in family therapy and working with the country’s most difficult teenagers to write the book that will save the sanity of parents everywhere. Once you’ve negotiated the terrors of toddlerdom and the perils of primary school you think you’ve got a pretty good handle on this parenting thing - then along comes Mother Nature with her horrible hormones and suddenly you’re so far behind square one you’re starting to wonder if this raging bundle of contradictions screaming at you was switched in the night by evil aliens.

With his now trademark humour and pragmatic common sense approach, Nigel debunks the politically correct nightmare of perfect parenting and argues for sanity first - yours - and reclaiming the ground parents have lost in the great ‘I’m my child’s best friend’ debacle.

In her usual warm, wise, inclusive and accessible style, Sarah also suggests ways to share Buddhist teachings with children so they maintain a connection to their own inner wisdom rather than reacting ... more

Chapters lead the reader through the processes, decisions and need-to-know stuff in logical order: pregnancy; preparing for the baby; surviving birth (roles the man can take during labour and birth); life after birth (handling the baby, hygiene, dealing with visitors, etc.); the first three months, the first six months; and so on through to a review of that whirlwind first year.

Does My Child Have ADHD? order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Glen Stenhouse
Published by: Penguin Books (N.Z.) Ltd.
In Stock: 1
ADHD has been a controversial issue over the last few decades but in child psychologist Glen Stenhouse's opinion, based on his 15 years of clinical experience, this should not be so. It is estimated that about five per cent of children have a personality type known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. These children are active, impulsive, impatient, enthusiastic, demanding and exhausting to parent - and extremely likeable. Does My Child Have ADHD is for parents wondering whether their child has this particular personality type. Glen Stenhouse describes the characteristic traits and behaviours of the ADHD personality, both in children and adults; explains the challenges that ADHD children face at school; then explains how their behaviour can be managed at home and at school to bring out their very best.
