How Not to Raise a Perfect Child Zusammenfassung

How Not to Raise a Perfect Child Libby Purves

A perfect child:

* Dresses neatly and practises the violin before breakfast

* Comes top of the class and is captain of everything

* Is unfailingly obedient and sweet-tempered

* Is a perfect credit to its perfect mother

A real child:

* Prefers shoelaces undone and mismatched socks

* Shouts 'Bum!' at Granny

* Turns breakfast and bedtime into a battleground

* Is the normal offspring of imperfect parents

With affectionate lack of illusion and a refreshing honesty about her own shortcomings, Libby Purves examines the pleasures and pitfalls of raising children from three to eight years old. Playgroup, starting school, rude words, pets - all these topics are tackled with frank good humour and down-to-earth advice.

Best of all is her reassuring reminder that there is no such thing as a perfect child.

How Not to Raise a Perfect Child Bewertungen

Praise for More Lives Than One:
'An idiosyncratic blend of her journalistic voice ... With the skills of a writer who understands the proper balance in a novel between issue and narrative. ... This is her best novel ... [and] will find an answering echo in many readers'

* Elizabeth Buchan, The Times *
All the compassion characteristic of her writing in her previous novels and columns. ... This is a humane and perceptive novel * Woman & Home *
A good story, crisply and lightly told, that touches on many of teaching's current preoccupations and dilemmas and that grows in depth as it unfolds * The Times Educational Supplement *
The kind of book that you race to finish and then think about for a long time afterwards * The Lady *
Libby Purves' prose is clean, sharp and in touch with things that matter * Daily Express *
