Spiritual teacher Barry Long's guidance for parents: · Speak to your children intelligently from the earliest age. · Don't ask them to do what you won't do yourself. · Show them your love by always being open and honest. In other words, demonstrate love, justice and truth in action, on a daily basis, where it counts most – in everyday family life.

The advice in each situation is specific, practical and always informed by deep spiritual knowledge. Including: · How to deal with excitable and demanding behaviour. · How to address issues of bullying and violence. · How to deal with Christmas. · How to handle divorce or separation. · How to help children cope with fear, conflict and death. · How to ease the problems of adolescence. · How the child's personality develops, why all children get unhappy and where we have all been going wrong.
