The first part of this book explains why we might want to consider looking at unconscious beliefs, coping strategies and habits, and offers some encouragement to the reader.
Whether you are reading this book for yourself or with a view to gaining ideas on nurturing or managing a child, it might be good to step back before you begin and get yourself into the right frame of mind. Managing yourself, or having the responsibility for nurturing and raising a child, can be challenging. I would like to offer some general encouragement, before looking at research, practical ideas and suggestions that could help.
