The early years of a child’s life are an a time of amazing growth development and change but this can be a really difficult time for parents with challenges coming from highly strung very emotional toddlers who seem to be expert at pushing all their parents buttons!
It’s not surprising that 10% of parents question the behaviour of their child under 18 months of age, 20% at 18 months to three years and a further 34% are concerned about behaviour when their child is 4-5 years old. Decoding a child’s behaviour also means understanding their development and growth and with more than 20 years of experience working with children and families Senior Clinical Psychologist Dr Anna Cohen has written a book called ‘Parenting Made Easy: The Early Years’ offering a very helpful range of ‘tricks’ to manage young children.
