Information about The Parenting Puzzle Book

The Parenting PuzzleThe Parenting Puzzle is an illustrated and easy-to-use guide through the Nurturing Programme. Presented in a friendly, informal way, The Parenting Puzzle encourages parents and carers to enjoy bringing up children and get the best out of family life.

It helps us understand how emotions influence our actions, and offers many positive, practical ways of guiding children so they learn to handle both their feelings and their behaviour. It suggests ways of helping us feel good - boosting self-esteem in ourselves and in our children.

The Parenting Puzzle captures the exchange of ideas and supportive atmosphere that parents able to attend groups enjoy. It is also a valuable tool for professionals supporting families in one-to-one work and is great as an ongoing point of reference for those who have been through a parenting course.
