Why Breech Birth Matters
By Julia Fotherby
Every year around 30,000 unborn babies in the UK are estimated to be in the breech position at the end of pregnancy. Mothers may be told that their baby is 'the wrong way round', and many will be offered and choose to have a caesarean as a result. But breech birth poses many questions: - with so many babies adopting the position, is cephalic (head-down) presentation really the optimal position for birth for all babies?- Has our lifestyle increased our chances of a breech baby?Are there medical or genetic factors which influence the position a baby is in at birth?- What can mothers do to try and encourage a baby to change position before birth?- And perhaps most important of all, should all mothers be encouraged to have a caesarean, or are there other options? Why Breech Birth Matters examines the evidence and women's experiences to explore some possible answers to these questions.

By Amy Brown
One in six families with children under 18 in the UK is headed by a single parent, yet portrayals of single parents in the public eye are often one-sided, focusing on challenges and negative stories.

Why Single Parents Matter takes a different approach, focusing on supporting the wellbeing of single parents, by examining the evidence behind the headlines and drawing on interviews with single parents from a broad range of backgrounds. The book challenges negative stories, highlights the stresses, triumphs and perseverance of single parenting, and explores the ways we can all better support the single parents in our lives.

Spectrum of Independence
How to Teach Your Neurodiverse Child Daily Life Skills
By Kristin Lombardi, Christine Drew
For parents of neurodiverse children, milestones that many families take for granted like graduating from high school or college, getting a job, and, eventually, leaving the nest may be fraught with uncertainty.
How can kids who need loads of support to get through the day ever learn to take care of themselves?
This motivating, practical book gives worried parents concrete strategies for maximizing the independence of their child or teen with autism, intellectual disabilities, or other forms of neurodiversity.
Exercises and downloadable worksheets are rooted in scientifically based behavioral principles and illustrated with vivid, relatable examples.
By breaking down tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, and making a sandwich into manageable "micro steps," parents learn to phase out assistance gradually and systematically as kids take ownership of their routines.
Daily life skills truly can be improved with the right tools and they are vital stepping stones for the challenges of adulthood.

Sarah Naish and Enza Smith provides the answers to all of your burning questions.
