For today's parents there is no shortage of advice about how to deal with their child's behaviour. But children's emotional needs are rarely discussed. Even though parents know that emotions matter, most would struggle to name their child's key emotional needs. In this groundbreaking book, Dr Vicky Flory explores the emotional needs of children from birth to age 12, explaining what all children need in terms of a secure attachment to a parent, as well as detailing the specific needs at particular stages in a child's development. She also discusses common emotional disorders and difficulties such as depression and anxiety. Drawing extensively on the latest research, Dr Flory shows how children who have a secure parental attachment are far better equipped to enjoy healthy, connected relationships throughout their life than children who do not. Her message is profound and simple: once you understand and meet children's emotional needs, you can help set them up for a happy life. In this straightforward book she shows parents how.
