Sabine’s Organic Baby Food Blog

I love reading, I read lots of books both fiction and non-fiction and one of my favourite times to read is out in the garden on a lovely summer day. You just can’t beat it. So, to celebrate summer I am giving away some of my favourite reads from last year.

Every Ulula customer who places an order for organic baby food and skin care products during June, July or August will have his or her name entered into a prize draw to win two excellent parenting books by the author Steve Biddulph.

I have three double-packs of “The Secret of Happy Children: A Guide for Parents” and “More Secrets of Happy Children: A Guide for Parents” to give away this summer, both full of priceless advice and food for thought. All orders, large or small, will be entered in the draw and the lucky winners will be notified by email at the end of each month. The books will be send out shortly afterwards.

The Secret of Happy Children

In this very readable book the author lets you into the mind of your child to show how the positive ways you relate to a child will have strong effects on growing self esteem, responsibility, stable emotions and present and future happiness.

Biddulph shows how negative language will affect children and explains why children may rebel and how you ca deal with any discipline issues. You will find out how kids experience emotions such as anger, fear and apathy.

Other issues are discussed such as fathering, ages and stages, stopping tantrums before they start, and curing shyness. The book contains scenarios, dialogues and case histories alongside cartoons.

An Investment in Your Children

The first time I came across this book was during our summer holidays in Austria at my sisters house. She had this book lying around and once I started reading it I just couldn’t put it down. The book is written in a humorous style without losing any of the seriousness of the subject.

Ever since, I have thought of this book as a bible for modern parents. Nowadays we can’t rely on the extended family for parenting advice and this book gives us much practical, down to earth and genuinely humane understanding, that may otherwise be lost to us in our hectic modern lives.

If you are not one of our three lucky winners, buy them anyway – think of them as an investment in your children and your life together as a family. Here are the Amazon links to the two books:

• The Secret of Happy Children: A Guide for Parents
• More Secrets of Happy Children: A Guide for Parents

I wish you as much enjoyment from them as I had. Happy summer reading!
