After months of editing and re-editing, the Peter Allerton Behaviour Management guide for parents is finally here.

Welcome to this ‘manual’ of parenting hints, tips and strategies on how to help your child with their behaviour and learning at home.

Over 20 years in the making, I’ve been looking for ideas throughout my teaching career, ‘cherry picking’ the most practical and effective ones for this book (in which I try to avoid any jargon or dense theory). Every suggestion is tried and tested – this aims to be a practical guide, not an academic thesis.

Having worked closely with thousands of students and their parents over the years, I sincerely hope you will find at least something useful to assist you in probably the most important and challenging (and definitely worst paid) job in the world!

These positive behaviour strategies can be effective with children of any age, background or temperament.

The 'Beastly Bullies' Children's Story Book Collection is complete!

 The 'Beastly Bullies' Collection is now available!


All 4 'Beastly Bullies' stories in 1!



Now that 'Peter and the Pet Catcher' is finally finished, all four 'Beastly Bullies' stories are now available as a compilation in both ebook and paperback, for just around half the price altogether!

For reading ages 7-13, 47000 words in total, the collection includes the following rather unusual humorous stories:

Each 'Beastly Bullies' story features a set of 'follow-up' questions as well. These tales may be a little bit disgusting at times but they might also make you think a bit too...

I do hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them - thank you for giving them a try!

Pets have started to go missing (leaving behind only their tails or toes!) from Little Humstrum and Peter is determined to find out why (especially so he can impress Rose from down the road), at least that is until his next door neighbour adopts the pet from hell..!

Find out how Peter copes with a fearful situation that might even involve a little romance in this funny children’s chapter story book for Primary School kids of all ages to enjoy. Parents and teachers may also like reading this humorous story, while it’s suitable for reluctant readers too.

(for ages 7-12: 11500 words)

Here's a excerpt from Chapter 12: 

‘AAARGH!’ they yelled as he threw it away in horror, but it went spinning in the direction of Rose. She tried to duck but was too slow as the hairy bloodied tail bounced off the top of her head, landing on the floor next to Mike.
‘What the hell Peter?’ she wailed as Mike sprinted back off up the road without so much as a word.
‘Am sorry!’ Peter squeaked with embarrassment.
She glared at him angrily then looked down at the object. ‘Oh no, it’s a cat’s tail…’


Also available now are the 'Beastly Bullies' Collection, an Anthology of both the 'Smell of Poo' and 'Beastly Bullies' Collections combined, and once it's ready I will also be publishing 'A Guide to Managing Your Child's Behaviour' (that one's for caregivers rather than kids - unless they want a sneak peek at the manual so they can stay one step ahead!! ;-).

I hope you are all doing ok in these challenging times! Thanks for visiting!


Peter.
