Steve Biddulph

The Secret of Happy Children


Main Books Page | Overseas Editions


Our first and best known book worldwide, Secrets arose out of Steve's first five years working with families in Launceston, a working town in Northern Tasmania. He found that loving and involved parents nonetheless were often trapped in negative parenting styles, putting their children down and lacking an understanding that everything you say and do with children shapes the person they will be.

Beginning with the story of a pregnant teenage girl, it leads in simple but powerful language and lots of humour, to gently make you aware of what you say, how you say it, and the possibility of a more loving, strong, and definite style with kids.

Includes - overcoming tantrums, shyness, understanding your parenting style, curing problems by listening deeply to your children, and much more.

Ideal for parents of 4- 12 year olds especially
