Raising the Best Possible Child

Being a parent is the most important job in the world, and it's a daunting task. After all, as parents our role is to ensure our kids become the best people they can be - happy and resilient. But how do we do that? And who do we trust to give us the best advice?

Like many other parents, with the birth of her children Jo Jackson King turned to parenting books for guidance, but she found the contradictory advice confusing. In this ground-breaking new book, Jo offers her assessment of the three main branches of current early child development science in a bid to find the best advice for parents. Written in Jo's inimitable style, Raising the Best Possible Child is an utterly approachable and infinitely readable tool to navigate the world of parenting.

  • Ignore parenting myths and be guided by the most up-to-date information on all aspects of child-rearing, including childcare, breastfeeding, leaving to cry, sleep, nutrition, discipline, physical and mental milestones and education
  • Teach your children how to navigate their own and others' emotions, manage stress and stay focused - all key factors for becoming happy and successful adults
  • Be a confident, thoughtful and responsive parent
  • Encourage your children to make the most of their natural temperaments and endowments, so you can enjoy raising happy, emotionally savvy children who will become happy, successful adults
