"I would like to say a big thank you for the positive imput your book has had on my family.Being a single mother of two young boys (7 and 10 years) is not easy. I have always been worried about the effect of the difficult divorce may have had on them. Let alone everyday life. I needed guidance and helpful advice, which is what is exactly what your book provides. It is so easy to pick out the information you need at that time without having to read all the book in one go. Your book has really helped me become the confident parent I am now!! Thank you

"When I first heard that Sue Atkins had published a parenting book I was so excited. I knew it would be packed full of all Sue’s unique and successful practical parenting ideas. When I read the book I was astounded at how she was able to take such a large and complex subject and break it down into easy to read understandable sections. It’s wonderfully comprehensive as it covers all ages from toddlers to teens so effectively and as a parent I couldn't ask for a better resource in my home. So thanks Sue and keep up the great work!"
