Reader reviews:

‘I was really struggling getting my son to put his shoes on in the morning, nothing I tried worked. Then a friend suggested I read ‘Parenting With Biscuits’ and it’s like he’s a different person! These days we are out the door before I’ve even had chance to say ‘Custard Crème!’

‘Revolutionary – best book I’ve ever bought!’

‘Such an inspiring read. I feel the author has really broken the boundaries of parenting literature with this practical and easy to action guide.’ 

‘I can’t even begin to explain what a difference a packet of Bourbons has made to our family. Thank you so much!’

‘So simple you’ll wonder why you even needed to buy a book on the subject (but obviously you should still buy the book.)’

‘Just. Bloody. Amazing.’

Parenting with biscuits is available from all crappy bookshops now!

    HAHA, Brilliant. A great interruption to work this read was. This has to be the most useful parenting book ever! FACT (Mainly because I do this already…. Glad i’m not the only one!)

    I think you’re on to a winner. I keep reading how a lot of bloggers get book deals – I think you could easily get a three book deal! x

    Genius – although I have been finding a similar approach works by offering sweeties. Had to do this yesterday when the 3 yo decided he didn’t want to go swimming ‘cos his usual teacher wasn’t there. The promise of sweeties if he ‘went in and did what he was told’ worked like a charm!

    LMAO – I love it sugar ;) that is totally my kind of parenting. If I think at any point I may have run out of biscuits I basically just arrange a sleepover at Granny’s. Or anywhere really. I just can’t be around when she notices.

    Hahaha! Brilliant. Biscuits make everything better. I told you on twitter but J is now your biggest fan- I am getting a little worried about it, he blatantly likes your blog better than mine. Not very loyal! ;) x

    Waaahhh! This is so funny. My boy went though a mad biscuit phase so this would have defo worked, now it’s sweets. I love that children are so easily bribed.

    This is exactly how I parent!! Love it.
    Also – I AM a better person with gin – and so is everyone else. I am drinking one right now and the world is a better place because of it.

    This is the parenting book the world has been holding its breath for. I bet even Gwyneth Paltrow who says she doesn’t eat biscuits has a copy hidden somewhere in case of a life threatening ‘I won’t eat more kale porridge’ tantrum.

    My daughter has complex needs and is nil-by-mouth. However, I find that the daily trials of parenting (different from the examples mentioned in the post above) are soothed if I eat the biscuits. I buy them in bulk. Dove’s Farm Digestives.
