"It's the first book focusing on children (rather than babies) that I've managed to read from cover to cover. More importantly, it's one that I've been able to apply to my own daily battles with a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old, with dare I say it and tempt fate? a degree of success. Kids Don t Come With a Manual has taught me new tricks for managing situations that would have previously resulted in me losing my cool and spiralling into the ugly vortex that is Parental Guilt." --crumbsandpegs.com
"Kids don't come with a manual has been really easy to dip in and out of. It's laid out in a way that makes it easy to find help with the particular situation you are currently dealing with, and I found it a lot less patronising than other parenting manuals. It doesn't say you should do things this way because let's face it, no two children are the same. Instead it is packed with some helpful ideas and ways to understand the behaviours you are facing." --myfamilyfever.co.uk
