They look so lovely when they're asleep: Advice and anecdotes for practising parents

This is the first book from Diane Levy since the highly successful Of Course I Love You a Now Go To Your Room. In this new book, she has collected together short articles she has written over the last ten years for a variety of magazines and newspapers. The articles are a mixture of light and entertaining anecdotes about the adventures of parenthood, through to solid strategies, hints and tips for dealing with the issues that arise when dealing with temporarily small people. Her writing is in the same wise, humorous and accessible style of her first book. Articles cover after-school activities; sibling rivalry; toddler-proofing your new baby; teens and cellphones; homework; running away; bullying; disciplining other people's children; building self-esteem and much much more.
