Merlin Press Ltd. RECAPTURING CHILDHOOD

RECAPTURING CHILDHOOD
Positive Parenting in the Modern World
by Mildred Masheder

In her new book the author of POSITIVE CHILDHOOD provides wise advice on every aspect of childhood, inviting us to help our children recapture the positive aspects of this special time of their lives that seem to have been lost in recent years.
Each chapter includes many inspiring contributions from parents who have corresponded with the author on their own parenting experiences.

Mildred Masheder has long since established herself as a commentator of rare clarity and wisdom on these matters. This new book is a powerful and straightforward challenge to us all to put our intelligence to work for the sake of our children, to recover the space they need and the care they need. It is a book that all concerned with children's welfare should be reading and engaging with.
Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury

'A gem of a book that we all need to read!'
Dr. Neil Hawkes, International Education Consultant
