When my youngest children were small I did a lot of research into how animals played compared to children, which lead to writing my first book for parents, 'Creative Play', about the importance of play for young children. This has been followed by twelve more books on child development and parenting including, 'The golden rules of parenting' about taking the guess work out of parenting and 'The Baby Development Test' a step-by-step guide to baby development from birth to five. My speciality subjects include child development, encouraging play, choosing toys, behavioral problems, children and sleep, tantrums, conflicts in the family, pregnancy, childbirth, preparing to read and maths and learning to write!
I have three children called Daniel, Anna and Tom as well as sixteen nephews and nieces, and am the eldest of five children!
