How to Talk to your Child
by Penny Oates
Why can't you take water onto planes? Why should I spend an hour on my homework when I've been at school all day? When can I go out to the shops on my own? Faced with tricky questions from their children, many parents today are increasingly confused and don't know where to turn for advice. Schools are under growing pressure to provide support, information and reassurance on a wide range of subjects from tidiness and pet care to poverty and national disasters. In How to Talk to Your Child Penny Oates, herself a head teacher, explains how best to communicate with children up to the age of 11, providing practical, easy to use, non-judgmental guidance.
Issues covered include:- Beliefs, rights and respect for others
- Dealing with emotions, including fears
- Family issues and relationships, including disability
- Milestones such as birthdays, moving house, starting school
- Behaviour, for example telling the truth, stealing
- Health, safety and hygiene
Penny Oates is a headteacher in Cambridge who has been in education for 25 years.
