ISBN I 86888 064 8

EFFECTIVE PARENTING demands knowledge, understanding and skill. Being a family is an ongoing human relations and development exercise for both parent and child. Certain skills are valuable tools for this: good communication, thoughtful decision-making and coping constructively with conflict or stress. But most of all, parenthood is a matter of the heart: of love, concern, kindness, compassion and patience stretched to its limits. It is a lifelong involvement and of crucial importance in the child’s formative years.

BRINGING UP PARENTS AND CHILDREN addresses these issues. The author, Prof Lily Gerdes, is well known for her work in the field of developmental psychology. This book is meant for the well-intentioned and thinking parent, and others interested in and involved with the development of children and themselves.
