Doncaster-born Laura has the magic touch when it comes to taming unruly youngsters. Children who bite, refuse to eat or hate going to bed are no sweat for her.

“I just love to see children grow and develop,” said Laura – and for a happy household parents must be in charge.

“Allowing children to rule the roost is doing them an injustice. You’re the adult and you can guide children gently but firmly towards good behaviour. It will help them in the long run,” she said.

Parents today are scared of their children. They’ll do anything to stop the tears and it seems like a fearful approach. I don’t advocate letting a child cry for hours, but a few tears here and there are fine. It’s how they express themselves.”
