Samenvatting

A personal code for bringing up happy, confident children   

Some parents make it look easy. They always seem to know the right things to do and say, however tricky the situation. They have a seemingly instinctive ability to raise happy, confident, and well-balanced children. 

Is there something these parents know that the rest of us don't? Is it something we could all learn? The answer is a resounding yes. They know the Rules of parenting. 

The Rules of Parenting are the golden principles that will guide you smoothly through the everyday challenges of raising children. In this new edition, Richard Templar has added 10 new Rules to help you bring your whole family – across all the generations – even closer together. 

You'll get more out of being a parent, and your family will become all they can be.
