Do you find it difficult sometimes to be a parent?

Do you get frustrated when you do all you can as a parent and it is still not good enough?

Do you get tired of telling off children repeatedly?

Then you are not alone! All parents have some experiences of how tough it can be to raise children. These experiences are sharper today as most parents live a busier life with more challenges than previous generations.

Annlaug Madland has written a wise and warm book about being a parent. With lots of humour and a big helping of common sense, she gives all of us the best tips about how we can get the best out of ourselves and our children.

"Finally a book about raising children that is both entertaining and educational!"
Marius Lund, father of two small children and director of Totalvekst A|S

"A respectful and humourous book about children for adults."
Liv and Baard Nannestad, parents and nurses at Sorlandet hospital.

"After I read the book, I felt more confident, I am the expert!"
Jeanette Marques, mother and social worker, Stavanger Council

"The book balances the theoretical and the personal in a way that makes you feel it is OK to make some mistakes, but those who read this book will risk making fewer mistakes."
Pia Tjelta, mother and actress at Det Norske Teateret, Oslo.
