Critics Review
“Easily readable, liberating … a book you can trust.”
Easily readable, liberating … a book you can trust. * The Independent *
In a perfect world every parent would have a parenting masterclass before the baby arrives. This is the next best thing! * Arabella Weir *
At last, something for the modern mother! A sane voice amid the shrill cacophony of childcare books * Imogen Edwards-Jones *
I agree with Oliver James. Caring for a baby or toddler is personal, because you have to tune in to the child’s changing needs. – Sue Palmer * The Times
Unlike other books of this sort, How Not to F** Them Up focuses on the wellbeing of the parent as a starting point for meeting the needs of the child… This is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and is not afraid to admit his own frailties. As a result his theories come across not as condescension, but as advice from one fucked-up-person to another. – Jake Wallis Simons * The Independent on Sunday *
… it is obvious that James is truly on the side of women and creating a society in which parenting and the issues it raises are shared between both partners. – Louise Carpenter * The Times Magazine *
Hugely gripping… it certainly makes you think. * Angels and Urchins *
[Oliver James] does a great job of describing some of the problems in modern society and how the demands of the 21st century can affect a person’s happiness… [he] uncovers the answer to how to reconnect with what really matters and learn to value what you’ve already got. In other words, how to be successful and stay sane. – Ana Ivanovic, Tennis Professional * Amazon *
Advice that focuses on training you - the parents - rather than your kids. A refreshing approach. * Easy Living *
