The authors and publishing company received no payment for any endorsement in this book. Our books are no be all and end all of parenting and will be updated and refreshed at no cost to you. Build a parenting community, young and old. You never know what tricks you might learn on a playdate.

Allergy Alert!  When milk, cheese or butter is listed in a recipe; do not assume it is animal based. Use your favourite household dairy or non-dairy. Your kitchen, your choice. Each dairy has a unique reactions to heat and impact on taste. So experiment.

There is no perfect run as a parent. There will be days when everyone is on your case. Days when you can do no right and nights where it is never enough but do you notice something?

You always seem to be at the centre. Maybe it is because of your ego, or maybe it is because you a better parent than you think. When shite goes wrong, humans, big and small, go to their safe people and places. With some solid parenting you can build a stronger safer centre.

Kids are going to react to every little bump and injustice in their small universe. The more they see calm responses, the easier your parenting gets and the quicker they will be ready for the big bad out-of-control world. Control what you can, and show them what to do when they are out of control.

Know your and your partner's strengths and weaknesses. Openly admire their super powers and give thanks (you will get laid a lot more.) Talk about what works when tiny ears are not around and develop secret signals  ;-)  Get to know your kids fighting styles; fight, flight, fawn or freeze. Especially with two or more kids.

Kids are usually about six months behind your best ideas. Which gives you plenty of time to steer them and look brilliant. Keep it simple. Talk out better ways, but do not expect instant understanding. Make it `their` discovery. Showing them is even better and faster than telling them over and over again.

This book is NOT a substitute for real first aid training. Do it.  A number of childhood diseases, infections and common issues all have similar symptoms. All the home remedies in the world cannot help your kid without the back up of solid professional advice.

And some of the scariest things are actually the easiest to solve like choking. First step curl your smallest finger and sweep their mouth gently from the side. You want to sweep whatever is blocking the airway forward and out. If that does not work flip them over, put them on your knee and tap their back just like the St John's Ambulance Ad; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtbUB1XPW_o&feature=emb_logo
