`This is a gem of a book. It is written in plain English, with humour and sensitivity by someone who had both feet firmly on the ground. Written with parents in mind, the book is at pains to avoid heaping guilt on anyone for turning out children who are less than perfect and offers instead, sound advice about some of the causes of and possible remedies for, attention seeking behaviour' - Linda Evans, University of Warwick
