Parents and caregivers struggle to cope with the demands of modern day living and need practical ways to help them raise happy, well-adjusted and independent children. This book includes invaluable and practical advice on how to improve a child's planning and organisational skills, how to tackle homework, and general discipline. The Manual That Never Came With Your Child shows parents/caregivers: how to create an appropriate environment for the child to do his or her homework; the setting up of routines; how to organise weekly and monthly planners; how to teach a child to study; how to devise the ultimate homework diary; ideas on games and activities to improve a child's visual and auditory perceptual skills, their reading, spelling and times tables as well as fine and gross motor skills; what children need to eat to optimise brain power. The sticky issue of discipline is also covered comprehensively. Written in easy laymen's terms, the often-humorous text is accompanied by full-colour cartoon illustrations throughout, which 'lightens' the approach to issues that are often regarded as nightmares by despairing parents. Where necessary, there are also colour photographs. Regular 'Handy Hints' boxes are included to summarise the preceding concepts in a nutshell.
