Playground Mafia: The essential guide to observing, identifying and managing playground mums (and the occasional dad)

THE AVERAGE PLAYGROUND IS FULL OF BULLIES, SHOW-OFFS AND GOSSIPS – AND WE DON’T MEAN THE KIDS. PARENTS HAVE EVOLVED INTO THE WORST KINDS OF STEREOTYPE IN THE LAST FEW DECADES AND THIS FUN AND FUNNY BOOK IDENTIFIES THEM ALL: SPOT THEM IN YOUR PLAYGROUND TODAY! From Competitive Mum to Flaky Mum to Tittle-Tattle Mum (and with a few dads thrown in for good measure), the playground stereotypes are hilarious and horrifying in turn. Packed with wonderfully observed case studies, this book will strike a chord with any mum who has cowered behind the bike shed to avoid League-Tables Mum. The authors (obviously both ‘normal’ mums) have used over 13 years’ experience of primary school playgrounds to identify and categorise all the key players.
