How to Raise Your Children Biologically: Empathic Parenting

Retired Science teacher, father of four and grandfather of three, John Richards, writes from experience gained over a lifetime of working and living with children. Let's face it, there is little a child can do that he hasn't seen before and worked out a good response to. He gives hundreds of tips on negotiating the slippery path of raising children to be nice people. John takes the story on from the dozens of baby advice books by focussing on the period from tots to teens. How to Raise Your Child Biologically is written in accessible style and illustrated with Pietro Lantrua's whimsical cartoons making it an enjoyable read.

John Richards MA(Ed) BSc had a varied career teaching Science to all abilities and ages from 8 to 23. His first family consisted of two sons who are now men with their own families and, when their mother died too young, he married again and now has two young daughters. Retirement has given him the opportunity to reflect on parenting as he does it for the second time. The book ’How to Raise Your Children Biologically’ is his attempt to collate everything he has learned into a useful form for beginners in the child rearing process.
