Rachel Johnson
Editor, Author
‘Instead of prescriptive dos and don’ts to stop the little darlings from murdering each other, the authors suggest roles to adopt to suit different situations – such as ‘try being a tuned-in parent’ before passing judgement or ‘try being a pause parent’ and don’t be bullied into taking sides. Hmm I like the ‘try being a laid-back parent’ option, supine on the sofa.’
