Parenting

Beaut Kids just don't happen! It takes some thinking, planning and practice. With this in mind we've created a cookbook-styled parenting book packed with sensible, straight forward ideas for parents to place into action. We want to ignite your thinking about how you choose to parent! Each chapter offers a typical tricky scenario that parents often face with their children and young teens - accompanied with the ingredients that usually fire things up. Then, we offer a 'Recipe rescue' as an optimistic problem solver; a practical way to respond to kids when they serve up those awkward and tricky behaviours. Raising Beaut Kids has as much to do with our relationship with them as it has to do with shaping their behaviour - the two go firmly hand in hand. We've decided that parents deserve honesty so there's no tiptoeing around the issues in this book because our children are too precious to compromise! About the Authors Bill Hansberry and Mark Le Messurier are both published authors who work in Adelaide in South Australia, in private practice as teachers, counsellors and mentors to young people. This work naturally extends to providing coaching and an understanding ear and to parents.
Raising Beaut Kids contains the essence of what Mark and Bill's clients, as well as their research, shows to be the big challenges of raising kids and young teens today.
