Overview
Written for parents of boys aged 4–8, this guide turns the skills children need outside lessons — patience, resilience, kindness, self-organisation — into twelve weeks of short, practical activities.
Each week has a clear focus, simple steps for the adult and an activity a child will actually want to do, so progress happens in ordinary family time rather than in a formal teaching slot.
Who it is for
Parents and carers of boys aged 4–8 who want structure rather than a list of ideas, and who would rather build habits early than correct them later.
What's inside
What your child will take away
Naming and managing feelings before they become behaviour
Confidence in unfamiliar situations
Everyday independence and personal responsibility
Kindness, listening and cooperating with others
Persistence when something is difficult
