Evidence-Based Parenting by Matilda Gosling

Evidence-Based Parenting by Matilda Gosling

‘So useful … extremely well-researched’ - The Times A search for 'parenting' returns over a billion unique hits on Google. How can parents know which approaches actually work to support their children to be happy, healthy and fulfilled while maintaining their own sanity? Evidence-Based Parenting draws directly on more than one thousand studies, and indirectly on thousands more, to create a single evidence base and reference manual for parents. This vast knowledge base has been condensed, for the first time, into straightforward ideas to support children’s relationships, physical health, learning and play, behaviour, and happiness and well-being.

‘This practical manual uses science to give reassuring advice … So useful … extremely well-researched’ - The Times

‘This is the book that every parent needsThese days parents often feel disempowered by mental health professionals who give advice that often feels counter-intuitive and seldom seems to be supported by evidence. Matilda Gosling has done the work for us as she has studied the vast research that is out there about parenting and distilled her knowledge into practical and doable suggestions. This book will help parents to figure out what the research actually says when it comes to parenting and equip parents to make parenting decisions from a place of knowledge and confidence’ - Stella O'Malley, author of Bully-Proof Kids

‘Clear and rooted in facts rather than opinion, it is an essential for every parent’ - Milli Hill, author of The Positive Birth Book

‘Written with both genuine empathy and a wish to communicate to parents about how to be "good enough" and enjoy family life’ - Prof Ellie Lee, Director of the Centre for Parenting Culture Studies
