‘A positive, compassionate and non-judgemental parenting manual which offers expert advice by a child psychiatrist from the world’s happiest country, Finland, is exactly what we think parents in the English-speaking world need currently. Kaija Puura balances the need to give children independence and autonomy with a gentle approach to boundary-setting and routine, which creates flexible, collaborative and well-adjusted young people. Every parent wants to raise a good person, and a happy adult, and we can’t think of a better place to start than with this delightful book, whose advice is grounded in work with children who’ve grown up in the happiest country in the world.’ —Victoria Roddam, Editorial Director, Sheldon Press
