Preschool

There is a huge amount of advice on what you should and shouldn’t do to help your baby, toddler or preschooler to eat, sleep or behave. Many books and other advice for parents of babies and toddlers seem to suggest that there is only one right way to do things. This can easily make parents feel more rather than less stressed and is nonsense. Of course, you have perhaps already discovered that what works for one child often doesn’t work for another.

These resources have been chosen because they suggest a variety of strategies rather than just one way of doing things and have been recommended by other parents, mental health charities and professionals. Remember – you know your child better than anyone, so only go with the advice if it feels comfortable for you and your family.
