Make every moment with your child count. Tap into the psychology behind your child's behaviour at every stage of development, and respond with confidence.

Taking more than 100 everyday situations, the book leads you through scenarios step by step, explaining not only your child's behaviour and the psychology behind it but also your own feelings as a parent. It then gives instant recommendations for what you could say and do in response to best resolve the situation.

Rooted in evidence-based clinical psychology and championing positive parenting, What's My Child Thinking? will help you tune into your child's innermost thoughts and be the parent you want to be.
