Kiss Me
How we parent our children is at the heart of our relationships with them – and Dr Carlos Gonzalez, a renowned Spanish paediatrician and father, believes that our children deserve all the love we can give them. If we reject the routines and excessive discipline promoted by self-styled childcare experts, and instead parent with love, respect and freedom, we can allow our children to grow and thrive both physically and emotionally.
A bestseller in Spain, Kiss Me encourages parents to see the good in their children and nurture it carefully, forging warm and rewarding family relationships. With discussions of how to handle common parenting issues including sleep, rewards and punishment and carving out quality time with our children, this warm and reassuring book is hugely valuable for parents in today’s world.
