Understanding your child series

We have developed a range of books to help you understand your child. Written by our expert professionals working with children and adolescents, this series presents balanced and sensitive advice aimed at helping parents.

Each book concentrates on a key transition in a child’s life from birth to adolescence, looking especially at how parents’ emotions and experiences interact with those of their children, and providing parents with an insight into the minds of their children.

These titles are essential reading for new and experienced parents, relatives, friends and carers, as well as multi-agency professionals who are working to support children and their families.
