"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 the early teens.
Each chapter will be about Love Bombing a specific difficulty that children often experience, illustrated with cases drawn from real life. Problems described include temper tantrums, refusing to go to school, sleep problems, hyperactivity, clinging, and shyness. The method is explained as simply as possible, illustrated with cases. 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. The method was originally developed as part of his work presenting three series of parenting programs on ITV s This Morning.
Love Bombing offers a simple, inexpensive, and relatively trouble-free way for parents to engage with their children, resolve underlying troubles, and help them to enjoy the best childhood they can. Along the way, the author brings in a range of scientific evidence regarding the issue, its causes and solutions. The method works equally well whatever your social background, ethnic origin, or nationality, James observes, because the fundamental needs of children are the same everywhere. This book has a genuine international feel as the author has corresponded with hundreds of parents from all over the world, many of whom have tried the method and found it to work."
