Kick off the course with Episode 1 right here.
This is a book about parenting styles and what it takes to be a great parent. We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents or iPhone 6 parents?
So many styles, but is there one that actually works?
Justin Coulson believes so. Drawing on up-to-the-minute research in parenting science as well as studies of childhood development, he shows:
how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs;
how our job is not to fix our kids, but to create an environment that supports their growth and development; and
how children flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and involvement, and establish healthy boundaries.
Not all children are the same, and Justin considers a range of circumstances that you or your child might be in - including children with non-typical development.
His revolutionary approach and practical strategies will encourage you to change the way you parent forever.
Struggling with his own family relationships, Justin returned to full time study in his late twenties where he earned first class honours and a subsequent PhD in Psychology so that he could learn how to be a better husband and father. Now the focus of his life is his family AND helping other families flourish – in that order.
Justin has written 6 books, and is a four-time bestselling author. He is an occasional columnist for the New York Times and appears regularly in all of Australia’s major news outlets for television, radio, and print. He’s a TEDx speaker and has worked with many of Australia’s biggest brands including the Commonwealth Bank, Intel Security, ANZ, IHG, Club Med and many, many more. He has also served as a consultant to the Australian Government’s Raising Children Network, and the Office of the e-Safety Commissioner, Life Education and others.
Justin lives with his wife and six daughters in Brisbane, Queensland.
