With so many pressures on your time, your energy and your resources, it can be difficult to give your child everything they need emotionally, and even more so when you’re faced with defiance, disruption or challenging behaviour. However, in this new book, Marie Gentles draws on decades of expertise supporting families to give you the toolkit you need to be the best parent you can be – and the best bit? The change starts with you. Just as when you’re on a plane and are advised to get your own oxygen mask on in an emergency before helping your child, the same applies when it comes to behaviour. So first in Marie’s toolbox is the need to take time for yourself: give yourself headspace, allow yourself time to adopt a healthy mindset and be the change you want to see. From establishing positive relationships that bring out the best in your child, to applying the tools you learn as a framework for your wider relationships, whether it be with friends, colleagues, your boss or even your inner child, this book will help you put Marie’s FIVE CS into practise when faced with any challenging moment: Communication: behaviouris communicating a need for emotional connection.Calm: this moment is a teaching and learningopportunity.Curious: what feeling is the other person seeking?Connect: how can I meet their emotional needs?Convey: what does my behaviour look like in this moment from the other person’s perspective? You don’t need to fit into a box with your parenting style, but using Marie’s gentle guidance, you’ll be equipped to raise a resilient child who in turn has the tools they need to deal with anything life throws at them – whether they are fifteen months or fifteen years, it’s never too late to start.

From the bestselling author duo behind Can You See Me? comes this exceptional portrayal of autism diagnosis, with diary entries by 12-year-old autistic author Libby Scott.

Taking place before Can You See Me? and Do You Know Me? this standout prequel follows Tally through her autism diagnosis in her final year of primary school.

Ten-year-old Tally had high hopes for Year 6.

Being in the top class at school means a whole host of privileges, but even better than that is the school production – and Tally is convinced she’ll win the lead role.

But at home, things aren’t going so well. Mum and Dad have been making Tally feel pressured and upset, and Tally wishes things didn’t bother her so much – but they do, and sometimes she feels so misunderstood and frustrated, she could explode.

Then Tally’s mum and dad tell her about something she’s never heard about before. Something called autism. And everything changes.

Tally is autistic and proud.

She used to feel like she had to hide her autism, but now Tally is determined to make sure people see who she really is.

But now Tally has a new worry – her school trip. And that means new places, new people and new challenges.

She quickly falls in with the popular girls and is grateful that they don’t make a big deal about her autism, but it’s not long before Tally realises that, while the girls are popular, they aren’t very kind.

With a jolt Tally understands that she’s not the only one who’s been made to feel like she has to hide her true self.

But will she find the strength to stand up for herself and the people she knows are being treated unfairly, or will she stay quiet?

And will Tally ever find her people?
