Summary

Mozart in the womb, Baby Einstein DVD’s for newborns and i-pad learning apps for toddlers.

From the moment the umbilical cord is cut, today’s parents feel trapped in a never-ending race to ensure their child is the brightest and the best. But while it’s completely natural for us to want our kids to reach their potential, at what point does too much competition become damaging?

Critics Review

I’ve hardly been able to put the book down … as I turned each page I’d find something else that resonated with me… Tanith has the ability to challenge your thinking without it being judgmental or preachy. She shares lots of real life case studies and draws on her own experience as a parent and combines this with solid research to make a really readable book. - mummyfromtheheart.com

An impassioned book appealing to other parents to rethink all the relentless competitiveness - before it’s too late. - Psychologies

A brilliant new parenting book … filled with strategies for raising children’s self esteem and nurturing them and how to help children avoid burn out and stress. I like how simple, doable yet effective these strategies are … I relished this book and I think it is really important. - BabyBudgeting.co.uk

Praise for Where has My Little Girl Gone?

Well-researched and sensitively written, this is both an important book - and a very useful tool for parents.

Praise for Where Has My Little Girl Gone?

Tanith Carey swims against the tide in this brilliant “how to” book. She is not a lone voice - it’s time we as parents stood up to the esteem-robbing barrage our daughters face. As a parent of three daughters I encourage all Mum’s AND Dads to read this book.

Praise for Where has My Little Girl Gone? An invaluable roadmap that will guide parents through the maze of modern-day adolescence, helping parents to bring out the best in their daughters. Full of practical and effective strategies read it and share it!

The book is GREAT … in a great tradition along with Madeleine Bunting’s Willing Slaves, and Sue Gerhardt’s The Selfish Society, and of course Kim Payne’s Simplicity Parenting, as critiques of society that also help us re-orient our parenting … beautifully lucid and readable, and … definitely on the right track in terms of what kids need.
