Following the success of his first parenting book, Before Your Kids Drive You Crazy, Read This! writer, clinical psychologist and family therapist Nigel Latta has gone on to become a regular columnist for Littlies magazine and has a regular parenting spot on National Radio each week. Now in great demand as a public speaker, Nigel uses his trademark ironic humor to deliver more vital information and useful tips in manageable bites for harassed parents in danger of exploding.
And because a spoon full of sugar always helps the medicine go down and we all know laughter is the best medicine, the book has been illustrated by the inimitable cartoonist Daryl Crimp, another laid back father with two young children. Together these no nonsense dads ladle out the laughs in generous helpings to help battle-weary parents cope with the trials and traumas of living with your little darlings 24/7and not going totally insane.
Packaged in an attractive two-colour gift format, it will be the perfect safety valve for anyone you know who lives with little people . . . and is starting to look a little wild around the eyes!

This is a great coffee table book, or have it close by when breastfeeding Made up of short easy to read and witty stories about how childrearing used to be in the non PC world.This book was given to me a couple of weeks after the birth of my first child when I was questioning what I was doing. Was really good light relief and helped me get through.
finally a kiwi perspsective on having kids. Cuts out all the PC crap and gets back to the basics of what it’s all really about. A nice read and good humour.
