Everything you need to know about raising school-aged kids.

'If you want to land your kids in therapy, then by all means, give them everything under the sun.'

In his work as a family psychologist, Michael Carr-Gregg has noticed a worrying trends in our modern parenting styles, which sees kids running riot and parents running for cover. In our desire to give our children the best, we may have given them way too much, and overlooked the importance of setting boundaries. He believes it's a recipe for disaster.

In this book parents are asked to take a good hard look at the way they are parenting – to toughen up and stop trying to be their kids' best friends. Instead he offers practical, evidence-based solutions on how to take back the reins and start making the most of the precious family years.
