Seven Secrets of Successful Parenting is a unique, anecdotal guide to parenting which enables readers to mix and match their problem-solving tactics and strategies.

Stemming from their own lack of confidence in bringing up their own children, Karen and Georgia wanted to be better parents and set about finding out how. Like Trinny and Susannah whose original impetus was insecurity about their pear-shaped bottoms and fats arms, they were deeply conscious of their shortcomings as parents. Ambitious in their quest, they interviewed hundreds of other parents and professionals, and the material they gathered, anecdotal and practical, ranged from the obvious, the ingenious and the life-changing.

In distilling this information they were able to identify seven clear parenting styles, and their book, Seven Secrets of Successful Parenting, will teach parents to identify their own natural style - or styles - and to borrow techniques from other types too, to help solve a whole range of everyday parenting problems.

From bedtime to bullying, teatime to tantrums, this book is packed with brilliant, non-judgemental, empowering advice on how to achieve the almost impossible from tots to teens. Reading this book is like having a chat with your friends, or with the other mums at the school gate; it doesn't dictate a way forward just makes some very enlightening suggestions that worked for both them and others.
