The first and best known of Steve's books, The Secret of Happy Children arose out of Steve's first five years working with families in Launceston, a working town in Northern Tasmania. He found that loving and involved parents nonetheless were often trapped in negative parenting styles, putting their children down and lacking an understanding that everything you say and do with children shapes the person they will be. Beginning with the story of a pregnant teenage girl, it leads in simple but powerful language and lots of humour, to gently make you aware of what you say, how you say it, and the possibility of a more loving, strong, and definite style with kids.
