Welcome to Goldfish Wisdom
The website of Nigel Latta
clinical psychologist, author, and wearer of socks
This is my internet home. This site contains resources for parents, 'helping' professionals, and pretty much anyone who has anything to do with kids and families. Inside you'll find information on books, seminars, and speaking engagements, as well as in insight into the some of the truly innane stuff that fascinates me.
In addition to that this site is a place for people interested in finding new ways to solve old problems. It doesn't matter whether you're a parent, a social worker, or a CEO, solving problems is a fact of life. All of those people are frequently asked to do the impossible.
Never be afraid of impossible problems, they're simply opportunities to look bloody clever!
So come on in... bring an open mind, and watch your step.
NOTE: I've now officially finished the last book (praise be) so over the next few weeks I'm going to be adding in a lot more content to the site. To get you started here's some youtube nonsense , some amazing science , and some info about how you can be part of the next book .
The DVD of the series is finally here and available at all good DVD stockists, including The Warehouse, Whitcoulls, Marbecks
Thanks for watching New Zealand! The show did incredibly well in the ratings and that's all thanks to you guys. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you as well for all the emails of support people have sent in over the last six weeks. I simply haven't had time to reply to them all, but I did read them all.
Based on the success of this show it looks like some time next year you'll be able to watch "The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show: Revenge of the Teens".
Again, I'm glad you liked our little attempt to bring some common sense and sanity back to the business of raising kids.
thanks, Nigel
The new book "Mothers Raising Sons" is now on sale at all good book stores including online.
