The Best Start for Positive Parenting
This book presents a unique framework and literature for parenting philosophy: clinical psychology practice.
Parents/guardians need to secure resources, articulate a vision of what childhood should be about in anticipation to provide best possible care for a child.
One of the major things missing in the psychology of parenting has been a comprehensive, fundamental parental framework guide, pre-requisite parental academic foundation. Lack of introducing a preliminary parental educational guide has left the gap for parental vulnerability; no guide on what to expect, no clear direction on where to go for parenting help.
The Best Start for Positive Parenting: Clinical Psychology is for parents, anticipating parents, students (Junior and senior circle and college), students studying clinical psychology, students in medical and care, schools, colleges and all works of life.
This book is an intervention guide that mirrors responsibility for all issues relating to a framework for parenting philosophy: knowing the child, establishing mutual respect and a line of open communication.

Down and Out in Brighton
Wind back to war time Britain and immerse yourself in a story of anarchic family life. Tony, his sister Anne Louise and baby Susan are children to John and Joan. Very sadly John and Joan have a rocky relationship so family life is chaotic and patchy and then John decides to remove Tony and Anne Louise from their mother; they do not see her again for eight months. Tony is sent to Hilsea Boarding school where he misses his mother hugely and he spends his adolescent years being drawn to ‘mumsy’ types as he refers to them. He is of stoical character however and finds employment in a cinema and a deep love for film. Hardly surprising, his extended family includes two Oscar winners and he frequents Pinewood Studios and fine West End dining rooms from time with Sydney Box, his uncle. A tale of sadness, loneliness and childhood pain but tinged with hope and, at times, joy.

Planet Parent
This book contains a magic wand which gives the parents the power to know all the right answers, all of the time.
…I wish, you wish, we all wish!
Sadly, this book has no magic wand. However, it does have some very useful strategies and an understanding that perfect parenting (like magic wands, unicorns, Griffiths, and reliable computer technology) is a myth. The best we can all stride for is ‘good enough’ most of the time.
Humour is a form of play used by children and adults alike and ‘playing’ is one of the most effective forms of healing. Planet Parent uses humour to help caregivers, parents and grandparents better understand their child and adolescent. This then creates the space to enjoy the beautiful moments of parenthood and to endure the not-so-beautiful moments.
The strategies outlined in this book are drawn from my training and experience as a child and adolescent psychotherapist of over 30 years, and in my hilarious adventures with my own children. It explores the outstanding and distressing facts about babies (I never dreamed you would have to teach babies to sleep!) children and adolescents, which I discovered in my journey as a mother.
The universal tribulations and pleasures that envelope all parents are discussed to emphasise the truth that parents are not alone (there are many, many of us parents) This book encourages the understanding that parents have great power to nurture our child’s resilience… and that there can be hilarity and fun in the process!

For example: how will you handle money, friendships and family, children, hidden addictions, sex, and cheating? While not insurmountable, they can become overwhelming, and potential battlegrounds for the war that has so often become marriage.

Separation, a Bitter Pill to Swallow
In a world of prenuptial agreements and marital uncertainties, there are those who get married or go into relationships because they genuinely love the person they are with. However, when love falls apart, getting up and getting back on our feet is not as easy as, “Just getting up and getting back into the saddle”. Often there are mountains to climb, and before we get to the foot of each mountain, we will first have to crawl out of our valleys or pits. Truly, being cast aside can make us feel lower than the ground.
This book was birthed out of a failed marriage and was almost named The Reasons I Did Not Die When She Left. However, it was named Separation, a Bitter Pill to Swallow in the end. Somewhere along the way of writing, the author’s perspective and message had changed. The author realised that he had learnt many valuable lessons from the failed attempt at becoming one with another person. He learnt that people can get sick, hate everyone, as well as the world around to the point of contemplating suicide, but in the end and with much grace, they live beyond the tears and heartbreak. Therefore, he wanted to help others using the lessons he had learnt. This is why, although the truths found in this book are blunt, and somewhat hard to swallow, they are covered in a good measure of wisdom.

Who's In Charge?
Who’s in Charge?, written by Eddie Gallagher, is a book aimed at helping parents unravel the mysteries of violent and abusive children. For those who don’t have difficult teenage children, this book will come as something of a thunderbolt as the misery that some parents and families endure is not well-documented or discussed. For those whose children are reasonably normal and average, this will come as something of a relief! Never again will you complain about sour faces, bad moods and bombsite bedrooms.Eddie Gallagher’s main objective is to explore the facts and expose the taboo that surrounds the concept of children perpetrating violent acts upon their parents. However, Who’s in Charge? contains a mine of information about family relationships, about emotions in general and stacks of advice about good parenting, so this is a book that every parent would benefit from reading. It will also be of interest to professionals and academics as there has been little written on this topic, and nothing with such scope. Candid, non-judgmental, certainly not sanctimonious and full of humour, Eddie Gallagher is able to take this difficult and largely hidden topic and expose it. Other topics are covered which would be of interest to any parent – the effect of social media and the internet, an increasing lack of respect towards authority in society – and the author also touches on the issue of violent abuse between adults within relationships plus the input of healthcare professionals and the moral minefield they face, all in all a veritable mine of information. Accessible, relevant and easy to read, every part of this book will impact someone somewhere, whether they have children or not.
