There is no one way to parent; discover the right way for your child.

As parents, we want to know how to give our children the best start in life. But, with few exceptions, most parenting advice ignores a fundamental biological fact: every child has their own genetic code that affects everything from fearfulness to happiness.

In The Child Code, human behavioural expert Dr Danielle Dick distils years of research to show you how to unlock your child’s unique genetic code.

Using the three E’s – Extraversion, Emotionality and Effortful Control – you’ll discover:

  • How to adapt the way you parent to suit their needs
  • Ways to parent smarter and not harder


Your most important job as a parent is to help your child become who they were born to be; this book will show you how.
