Love Bombing: Reset Your Child's Emotional Thermostat

by Oliver James

Overview

"Love Bombing" is a radical new method for resetting the emotional thermostats of troubled children and their parents, setting them on a much happier trajectory. It is simple to do, easily explained and works for both severe and mild problems from aged three to early teenage. Many, if not most, parents feel that their children may have missed out in some way during the early years. Offering a simple, relatively trouble-free self-help method for putting that right is what parents are waiting for. "This book is written in highly accessible language", assures Oliver James. "The method is explained as simply as possible, illustrated with cases". "Love Bombing is a very simple technique which helps most children from aged three to early teenage. Because so many parents are, or have had, periods of living very busy or miserable or complicated lives, most of us need to reconnect with our children from time to time. Love Bombing does the job," explains James.

Editorial Reviews

"The book gives you a step by step guide on how to best achieve results, but the author also takes in to account that each family has a different situation so it is not always possible to use the 'model' Love Bombing theory, and instead suggests other ways in which it can work if the effort is put in. A really fascinating read which I would highly recommend to all parents, as you don't need a child with any concerns to use this technique in order to better your relationship with them."— Parents in Touch
