Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers (or anyone who acts like one) is the parenting book you have been looking for. It makes sense of young children through developmental science and is what every child wished their adults understood about them.
Join us for a six-session series to read along and discuss the best-selling parenting book by Clinical Counsellor and Developmentalist Dr Deborah MacNamara. Deborah will be joining us for the final session for a chat and question session.
Baffling and beloved, with the capacity to go from joy to frustration in seconds, young children are some of the most misunderstood people on the planet. Parents and caregivers struggle with these little ones, who are known for their extreme behaviour, from tantrums, resistance, and aggression to separation anxiety, bedtime protests, and not listening. The key to understanding youngsters lies in realizing that their challenging behaviour is not personal, nor is it a disorder or deficit.
