This brief free guide provides practical advice on issues relating to leaving children at home including how to choose a suitable babysitter or childminder. This is one of a series of parenting leaflets published by the NSPCC. Preparing for a new birth, dealing with stress, comforting a crying baby, and managing difficult behaviour without smacking are some of the topics covered in the advice leaflets. Each leaflet contains useful tips on common parenting problems and gives contact details of organisations that can help.

These include the Tavistock Clinic Understanding Your Child series (highly recommended) through to the National Academy for Parenting Practitioners.

We have established a new category on our website called Parenting Resources to enable you to access these resources easily in one place. Find out more about Shirley Ayres Consulting
