Cow Sense for Parents


I am so happy and honoured to get endorsement for this book from a trio of parenting experts. Their blurbs are printed on the back cover of the book, but I am reproducing them here so that everyone can read them clearly.

"A refreshing personal reflection on parenting, this book is full of common-sense practical ideas and advice. It applies to parents of all ages and is also educational for children who wish to understand parenting. Perhaps the most overarching message this book asserts is the importance of deliberate and consistent parenting and parents' abilities to introspect honestly. This is a good book for both headstart and continuing parenting."

Cow Sense for Parents is a mooving experience, even for a Psychologist like myself. With all that I’ve been trained in, having a toddler can still drive me up the pastures. I’m glad for Lydia’s book that provides down-to-earth practical tips for parents that discuss both the developmental needs of the child as well as of the parent. Cow sense is a book all parents can chew on. I know I'm milking the most from it.

~ Dr Brendan J Gomez, Applied Developmental and Counseling Psychologist

"An engaging read. Lydia draws in the reader with characteristic humour."

This book is a compilation of my newspaper column in The Sun, Family Teh Time, which ran for five years. If the response is good, then maybe I will compile the second volume.
