Most of her points are nothing new if you've been around Ross Greene, Janet Lansbury, or any other "gentle parenting" experts.Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University’s Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. It made me feel seen as a parent during this new stage, it helped explain why my children are behaving the way they are and it gave me practical ideas going forward on how I can support them to become confident and considerate teenagers. While ages five to seven may lull you into a false sense of security, it soon becomes apparent that around the age of eight, new challenges start to appear, as the outside world increasingly influences children, their behaviour and their relationships with others and themselves. I agree with others about her shaming c sections and I even saw her share something once that falsely claimed women who take pain relief in child birth may have problems bonding and breastfeeding their baby. Gentle Discipline is a world away from the punishments and rewards so often advocated and turns what many think about raising children on its head.

It was so dull and dry it took me half a year to get through it--and that's even with me skipping chapters I disagreed with! Unfortunately, this is not the case (something we will explore at length in Chapter 1), and this common misconception can lead adults, particularly those from older generations, to frequently admonish ‘the youth of today’.But the entire book seems to just be saying to let it go, which can be helpful but you can’t when you’re getting two hours sleep a night on a good night!

Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Its compassionate, pragmatic approach will help listeners feel less ashamed and more empowered to get their, ahem, act together instead of losing it. DS never woke up 10-12 times a night except when he was sick, I don't think that makes him some kind of freak of nature. It will help parents understand when to start the process, and provide a step by step guide to the best, most gentle and easiest approach to take, as well as how to cope with the inevitable regressions and setbacks.Whether you are interested in understanding how your upbringing has shaped you, looking to handle your child's feelings or wishing to support your partner, you will find indispensable information and realistic tips here. Between also offers advice on coping with your own feelings as your child moves through this busy developmental period, and how to let go and give them wings to fly.

After the birth of her firstborn Sarah retrained as an Antenatal Teacher, hypnotherapist/Psychotherapist, Infant Massage Instructor and Birth and Postnatal Doula. Written by Deborah Reber, a best-selling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger’s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and more. This innate fear would have kept our offspring safe, at a time when they would have been most at risk if left alone. Are you looking for ways to cope with your toddler without resorting to the naughty step or controlled crying? I passionately believe that all parents should teach their tweens to be financially literate and allow them to learn to earn, save, spend, donate and budget money in the safety of the family home from a young age.HOW TO BE A CALM PARENT is part self-help book, part parenting book; aimed at parents who know that they need to be calmer to raise well adjusted, happy children, but who struggle with their own emotions and stress levels. You could argue that there is little difference between an older tween and a teen, aside from the label. My aim in writing this book is to provide you with the information you need to help your child traverse the bridge from childhood to adulthood, while being mindful of your own needs, too. Drawing on evidence-based practices, here is an insight-packed and tip-filled plan for how to stop the parental meltdowns. The in-between childhood and teenager stage is notoriously hard to navigate for parents and children alike.
