When I talk about successful children, I refer to Dr Sears’ definition of a successful child. This books reveals the science behind how the early interactions children have with their parents can affect whether or not they grow into adults suffering from depression, anxiety or anger management issues. The philosophy behind the Science of Parenting is not merely to raise children that become functional adults but for them to become caring, compassionate adults with the capacity to respect the differences of others.

The research from The Science of Parenting is backed by more than 800 studies from around the world.
