Totally second Divvy - Parent Effectiveness Training. Gave me so many new tools, its not as frustrating as it used to be! They have a website, blog and FB page so you can get regular emails with tips and help, but if you can do the course, its brilliant. I have posted some articles in the forums in the routines/parenting programs section.
It always reminds me when my children are acting least lovable, they need love the most. They don't manipulate, they often play up for lack of attention - and when it's been pretty bad, my daughter has directly told me I don't play enough games with her. They usually just want you to interact with them more in some way. For my son its touch, hugs, cuddles etc and my daughter its activities. Its hard for her to understand how I feel with the pregnancy but its great that she can now vocalise more, by knowing what to ask and how to talk to children to open up, you can find all the answers.
