Review: Nanny in your pocket!

Whilst I am not a Nanny, I am a parent to two very individual daughters, of 4 and 7. One of them is just like her mum, shy and quiet, and the other one is more like dad - pretty confident and outgoing. But when I was a child, I was incredibly self-conscious of my height (or lack of it) amongst other things. Thankfully, I had fantastic parents who went to great lengths to boost my self esteem, and subsequently my self confidence too. My mum is sadly no longer here to ask advice on bringing up my daughters (the first girls to be born to my father's side of the family for 80 years!) and so my search for answers to help boost my quieter daughter's confidence led me to this excellent book by Nanny P. Her years of experience really show throughout, with plenty of sensible, easy to follow exercises and positive parenting tips. Everything from the right ways to encourage and praise, joining in with activities that your child is interested in, how to grow independence and much, much more is in here. And starting tomorrow after breakfast, we are sitting down to build a Lego Technic truck together - as that's something we BOTH want to do :)
