Synopsis

Are we right in the way we are raising our children? Are we passing on what is best or simply what we know? Are we preparing them for their future?

'The Confident Child' helps parents and teachers to realise their own abilities in the work of enabling and empowering children. Dr Réamonn Ó Donnchadha points out that the essential skills necessary for living in today's world are present in our children but by cosseting, over-protection and unconscious fear, we are in danger of extinguishing these skills instead of fostering and guiding them.

In this invaluable book, the author looks at important aspects of growing up and suggests flexible ideas and guidelines for parents and teachers to apply both in their own lives and in the lives of those children for whom they are responsible. Useful case studies at the end of each chapter show how the ideas can be put into practice.
