Book: From Pram to Primary
Parenting small children from birth to age six or seven.

62,000 copies printed.  Available only from Family Caring Trust.  Price £6.50
How do you cope with all the pressures of daily living and still meet small children's need for affection? How do you cope with children who won't eat or sleep or co-operate? How do you help children grow in confidence and self-esteem? Here is a simply written, jargon-free book that does not pretend it is easy, yet offers fresh, thought-provoking ideas, common sense suggestions and effective support to parents dealing with children from six months to seven years old. This is the Handbook used by all parents following Britain’s most popular parenting course, the "Noughts to Sixes" Parenting Programme, but parents not following the course also find the ideas extremely useful. The few hours you may take to read the book could change your life. Developed and produced in co-operation with Barnardos. 



Book: What Can a Parent Do?
Practical skills to help parents (of children aged 5-15) be happier and more effective.  Price £6.50
Parents of children from five to fifteen describe this practical, simply-written book as a ‘lifesaver.’ Useful in reducing tension, squabbling, tantrums and fighting, establishing clearer, more respectful parenting guidelines, and making children happier and more responsible.



Book: What Can Parents of a Teenager Do?
Price £6.50
How and when and where do you draw the line with teenagers? How do you set limits? How do you cope with all the arguing, swinging moods, annoying habits, outright rebellion…? How can parents and teens learn to live together with respect for one another? These are some of the questions dealt with in this book. There is no suggestion that there are easy answers. What suits one parent may not work for another. But you will find respect here for the fact that you and your family are different. You will also find practical ideas to apply in your own way in your family. Many parents find that these ideas help to reduce tension and arguing and prepare teenagers for responsible adult living.



Book: Being Assertive
Price £6.50
This is a book to help you deal more effectively with all those awkward situations when you could kick yourself for having said ‘yes’ to something you didn’t want to do, or for saying the wrong thing, or for handling something badly. You will learn to stand up for yourself, deal with criticism, say ‘no,’ make requests, state your needs, challenge unfairness, and deal with requests and demands from others. You will also be helped to feel better about yourself and to become a more encouraging person at work and in your community - but especially in your home. The book has been developed and tested out with parents from a variety of backgrounds in Britain and Ireland. Developed and produced in co-operation with Barnardos. 



Book: Parenting and Sex
Support for parents at all stages - from birth until beyond adolescence.
Price £6.50
When should you talk to children about sex, and how much should you say to them? Are they not getting too much information already? At what age should they be allowed to go to discos? What limits should there be on television and video viewing? What do you do when your three year old puts her hands down the front of her pants in public? What do you say to your teenagers about dating? What can parents do to support their children in the face of powerful pressures and influences today? These are just a few of the questions tackled in this simply-written book. You will find it down to earth and practical. 



 
Game: The Family Dinner Game
Price £14.80
Not the most exciting game we parents ever played - but we did get a kick out of the kid’s pleasure. They thought it was one of the best games they ever played and they still ask to play on a daily basis. Jackie Bourke, Irish Times
