About the author
Sue Edgerley has spent the last 15 years working with children, schools and families. A mother of 3, she has worked as a tutor and child carer. Currently, she concentrates on writing as well as assisting children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Like many modern parents, she started out raising her children by the principles promoted by the experts. However, within a few years, she realised that it was not working. It was clear that her daughter was not popular with other kids or even family members, and she was proving to be a handful at home. After a lot of soul searching, Sue decided the problem didn’t lie with the child but in the way she was being raised. She returned to the traditional methods by which she had been raised. Within weeks, people were commenting on the change in her daughter! When her other two children were born, Sue raised them traditionally from the beginning and was delighted by how much easier parenting was, second time around!
This experience led her to become involved with other families who were struggling and, then, to write a book which she hoped would offer assistance to parents.
The 5 Keys system had its origins in the colonies with their traditions of sensible parenting, close-knit families, respect and courtesy.
