Customer Reviews

This was so much about creative parenting as well as dreams!

I bought this book as I thought it looked interesting and I'm fascinated by dreams. I'd never seen one on children's dreams so I thought I'd see how it worked with mine. I was pleasantly surprised to find it packed with sensitive real-life stories with lots of caring advice. If you're wondering about your parenting skills - and what parent doesn't? - then you'd be wise to buy this book by Dr. Spurr. You may find it eye-opening!
