Reviews for How Not to F*** Them Up

Unlike other books of this sort, How Not to F*** Them Up focuses on the wellbeing of the parent as a starting point for meeting the needs of the child... This is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and is not afraid to admit his own frailties. As a result his theories come across not as condescension, but as advice from one fucked-up-person to another. -- Jake Wallis Simons * The Independent on Sunday * I agree with Oliver James. Caring for a baby or toddler is personal, because you have to tune in to the child's changing needs. -- Sue Palmer * The Times * At last, something for the modern mother! A sane voice amid the shrill cacophony of childcare books * Imogen Edwards-Jones * In a perfect world every parent would have a parenting masterclass before the baby arrives. This is the next best thing! * Arabella Weir * Easily readable, liberating ... a book you can trust. * The Independent *
