All parents are faced with questions and doubts bringing up their children. Practical Parenting – An Irish Survival Guide provides the answers, whether the child in question is a baby who cries through the night or a trendy teenager who thinks no one understands him.

This user-friendly, down-to-earth guide is designed to help today’s busy parents survive (and even enjoy!) parenthood. It’s packed with excellent practical advice on a wide range of day-to-day issues related to raising children … advice based on the first-hand experience of author Pat Rees as the mother of four children.

Previously a nurse and midwife, author Pat Rees gives talks on health, family and sexuality issues to adults and children … subjects that she has also written and spoken about extensively in the national and local media. She has worked at the Well Woman Centre since 1978, dealing with women’s issues. Practical Parenting – An Irish Survival Guide is her second book on this sensitive subject. She lives with her husband and children (two girls and two boys, aged from 14 to 22) in Dublin.
