Title: Odd Girl Out Author: Rachel Simmons Narrator: Ruth Ann Phimister Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 06-10-04 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 98 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In Odd Girl Out, Rachel Simmons focuses on these interactions and provides language for the indirect aggression that runs through the lives and friendships of girls. These exchanges take place within intimate circles, the importance of friends and the fear of losing them is key. Without the cultural consent to express their anger or to resolve their conflicts, girls express their aggression in covert but damaging ways. Every generation of women can tell stories of being bullied, but Odd Girl Out explores and explains these experiences for the first time. Journalist Rachel Simmons sheds light on destructive patterns that need our attention. With advice for girls, parents, teachers, and even school administrators, Odd Girl Out is a groundbreaking work that every woman will agree is long overdue. Critic Reviews: "Ruth Ann Phimister is an earnest and sincere narrator....This book is an important addition to the research on bullying, and this audio presentation makes it easy to follow." (AudioFile) "Bolstered with numerous revealing anecdotes and quotes, Odd Girl Out does an excellent job of articulating to adults exactly the pain and subtle warfare that many teen girls experience, and Simmons offers thoughtful motivations for both bullies and the parents who are reluctant to rein them in. She also offers admirable, groundbreaking insight into an all-too-common issue and will be invaluable to any adult struggling to help a girl get through her teens." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Compelling and informative Every mother of a girl should read this book. My 8 year old daughter is in the early stage of struggling with these very issues. This is a book that raises your level of awareness and will hopefully leave you better equipped to help your daughter handle the ups and downs of her social world. Validation I've tried several times to write a review for this book, but was unable to complete one until now, because of the emotion that overwhelms me. I was the odd girl out through my high school years and couldn't speak of it at home, for the attitude was, "well, what did you do to deserve it?" Every mother of a daughter and every teacher of girls needs to read this book and recognize the silent suffering of the girls in their care. Just because there are no physical bruises doesn't mean there's no damage done. Please let's acknowledge and treat this area of "silent aggression" for the sake of our daughters, sisters and girls everywhere. Good book, not so good reader... Would you consider the audio edition of Odd Girl Out to be better than the print version? NA What was one of the most memorable moments of Odd Girl Out? Realizing I was not alone in my experience. Which scene was your favorite? NA Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Because this book touched my childhood, I did not want to listen to it in one sitting, it was too close to home and too emotional. Any additional comments? I really enjoyed the book, I did not care for the reader. Half way through the book she desperately needed to drink some water, you could hear how dry her mouth was, She was constantly smacking her lips which made it difficult to enjoy the book. Much more storytelling and roll playing there's a lot more storytelling in role-playing in this book than other books that are like it.

Only Dead on the Inside Audiobook by James Breakwell

Title: Only Dead on the Inside Subtitle: A Parent's Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse Author: James Breakwell Narrator: James Breakwell Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 12-11-17 Publisher: Novel Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: It's not easy being a parent these days. There are bills to pay. Kids to feed. And hordes of undead monsters to keep at bay. There are plenty of guides out there about how to survive the zombie apocalypse. All of them assume readers are young, fit, and unencumbered by children. In that scenario, the only living humans left will be smug, outdoorsy Millennials. That's hell on earth, even without the zombies.Only Dead on the Inside is the answer for the rest of us. Written by professional comedy writer and amateur father-of-four James Breakwell, Only Dead on the Inside blends traditional parenting advice with zombie survival tips, bringing together two totally unrelated genres in a book no one asked for but everyone needs.This step-by-step manual teaches you how to raise happy, healthy children in a world overrun by the undead. Motivated moms and dads want it all, and that won't change at the end of the world. There's no reason you can't be a zombie killing machine AND parent of the year, but you have to work for it. If you want to make sure your family is apocalypse-ready, Only Dead on the Inside is your best--and only--chance at survival. No pressure, but if you don't read this book, your children will die. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: This was a very useful guide! Should I ever have kids, I now feel I will be able to survive the zombie apocalypse with ease! Funniest book I've listened to in a long time Any parent NEEDS to listen to this book!!! It's a quirky type of funny that most people of my Oregon Trail Generation appreciate. I will be listening to this over and over. Pardon me while I go look at the comics and charts that come with the audiobook. Surprisingly good I expected this to read like one of Unicorn's tweets. But it is so much more. I am now armed to survive the zombie apocalypse. But I was also entertained even though I do not have children. I'm so glad the author read the book himself. I loved that each chapter covered different aspects of potential apocalyptic scenarios. It kept the book fresh and laugh out loud funny. Hearing 7-year-old Betsy read the ending was extra special. What a great job she did. I will re-read this book. What more can be said? As good as expected I found this book to be amazingly funny. That being said I don't recommend listening to it all in one go (which is what I did). The story is good, and James does a good job of narrating his own book, but after about two hours or so I found myself wanting to listen to something else because it was losing my attention. I think this is just due to the nature of the comedy, or maybe the writing style. I don't know I'm just a dumb listener. I have followed James on his Twitter account for quite a while and have always loved his humor. I am extremely happy I purchased this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone that has or is expecting to have kids. While I don't have any kids of my own I may have to adopt or borrow one so I can justify buying an umbrella stroller. When the Zombie Apocalypse eventually finds itself at my doorstep I feel that I will have been sufficiently prepared thanks to this book.

The Leader in Me Audiobook by Stephen R. Covey

Covey Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-12 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A growing number of extraordinary everyday schools, parents, and business leaders around the world are partnering together to produce inspiring personal leadership qualities and 21st-century skills in children. In 1999, the A.B. Combs Elementary School in Raleigh, North Carolina, launched a new leadership program that taught Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to a pilot group of children. The next year they instituted the program school wide. By the end of that second year, the average end-of-grade score for the school had gone from an 84 to a 94. The school reported significant increases in self-confidence and self-worth in the children, a dramatic drop in discipline problems, and impressive increases in teacher and administrator job satisfaction. More importantly, parents began reporting very positive changes in their children's demeanors, attitudes, and abilities. Students began taking an active interest in the world around them, and seeking out ways to become involved in decision making, problem solving, and conflict resolution. As news of the school's success spread, more educators and schools around the world began adopting the mantra to "develop leaders one child at a time". Business and civic leaders started approaching and partnering with schools in their communities to provide resources for teacher training and student materials. Each school and family approaches the principles differently, yet they have all enjoyed the same incredible success. The best way to prepare the next generation for the future is to emphasize the value of communication, cooperation, initiative, and unique, individual talent - for nothing undermines confidence more than comparison. Whether in the classroom or at home, it is never too early to start applying leadership skills to everyday life. Drawing on the many techniques and examples that have already seen incredible success around the world, The Leader in Me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life. It is a timely answer to many of the challenges facing today's young people, businesses, parents, and educators - one that is perfectly matched to the global demands of the 21st century. Members Reviews: Interesting Book So I got the "7 habits of highly effective people". Read it and listen to it. great book So I got this as a followup. I actually wanted this title to assist with a research paper on motivating kids. Great insight and good examples. Like the author says a lot of these principles are practiced in some schools without the teachers realizing the impact of what they are doing! It truly opens your eyes and I strongly believe that if these principles were in place in our schools we would be producing more leaders. Good examples on developing leaders in our society today!! Another great book that everyone should listen to! Stephen shares the success and journeys of several schools who decide to weave the 7 habits into everything they do. The is an excellent idea! The students to take ownership of their learning and lives in general will set them up for a life of continuous learning and improvement. Great book Learned a lot from this book. Now just need to put it into practice.

All Joy and No Fun Audiobook by Jennifer Senior

Title: All Joy and No Fun Subtitle: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood Author: Jennifer Senior Narrator: Jennifer Senior Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 501 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. But almost none have thought to ask: What are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources - in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology - she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand new, and then brings her research to life in the homes of ordinary parents around the country. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with parents of young children and progressing to parents of teens. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers as they wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations - and luxuriate in some of its fi nest rewards. Meticulously researched yet imbued with emotional intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, this audiobook is original and essential listening for mothers and fathers of today - and tomorrow. Members Reviews: Beautiful. This is one of the best books about parenthood I've ever read. Senior does not claim to have the answers or offer advice, and yet I feel more equipped after having read it. It is a look at parenthood as a whole: the history, stages, effects. It puts so many day-to-day trials into perspective and helps the reader to be more forgiving of themselves. It was like a balm for my soul. A must read for people with children Would you listen to All Joy and No Fun again? Why? Yes. It would actually be a good "reference" book. Lots of things to reflect on. Jennifer does a great jod on the narration of the book. I particularly like the fact that she does not pretend to be an expert on several fields but rather quotes the studies, people and scientists that she consulted. What does Jennifer Senior bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her voice is engaging. That was actually one of the factors that made me decide to listen to the audiobook, after listening to Jennifer's TED talk. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. The Joy of Parenting I spent the first decade of my life in a small city in the Midwest that is so average it's held as the arbiter of all things middle class. I lived in a not-so-expensive neighborhood walking distance to a small university, and the neighbors included large working class families and professors just starting out who already had a kid or two before the age of 26. Everyone was married, and everyone's mother was a stay-at-home mom, and moms maybe sold Tupperware or Avon for a little extra cash.

A strong father figure is the single most important element in a girl's life - he is her spiritual guide and protector from her early childhood to the day he proudly walks her down the aisle. In the lovely and comforting Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters Devotional, Dr. Meeker instills in men the knowledge they need to be the kind of fathers their daughters dearly need. Members Reviews: Invaluable wisdom for the father. Invaluable wisdom for the father past, present, and future. No matter if your daughter is in the womb, in the crib, or in college, this book will help. Faith-based; great if you're a believer. I mistakenly purchased this book. I'm sure it can offer some value to those who believe in the "old man in the sky" mythology. the God again!! this will not help a father who is raising a daughter! complete waist of money. Relegion and Science never mix! Waste of Money! If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? For radical religious books as this one, Audible have to indicate it as "religious" when you are going to purchase! I didn't purchase this to learn how to pray! I thought this is written by a professional! Why people still think praying will help to improve Father/Daughter relationship!!! I deserve a full refund on this book as it has completely misleading title! Not happy at all... What will your next listen be? A non religious book How could the performance have been better? No chance for this author to write a logical and helpful book

Age of Opportunity Audiobook by Laurence Steinberg

Title: Age of Opportunity Subtitle: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence Author: Laurence Steinberg Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A leading authority draws on new research to explain why the adolescent years are so developmentally crucial, and what we must do to raise happier, more successful kids. Adolescence now lasts longer than ever before. And as world-renowned expert on adolescent psychology Dr. Laurence Steinberg argues, this makes these years the key period in determining individuals life outcomes, demanding that we change the way we parent, educate, and understand young people. In Age of Opportunity, Steinberg leads listeners through a host of new findings - including groundbreaking original research - that reveal what the new timetable of adolescence means for parenting 13-year-olds (who may look more mature than they really are) versus 20-somethings (who may not be floundering even when it looks like they are). He also explains how the plasticity of the adolescent brain, rivaling that of years 0 through 3, suggests new strategies for instilling self-control during the teenage years. Packed with useful knowledge, Age of Opportunity is a sweeping book in the tradition of Reviving Ophelia, and an essential guide for parents and educators of teenagers. Members Reviews: if you think you know, think again What made the experience of listening to Age of Opportunity the most enjoyable? I work with adolescents in schools and Dr. Sternberg's book has been very helpful in understanding the range of issues they are dealing with. The neuroscience and the emerging humanity of kids. What was one of the most memorable moments of Age of Opportunity? Dr. Sternberg tells stories, including of those closest to him, that explain the perils and opportunities of adolescence. One was about his own child, Ben. I won't spoil it. Get this book. Best advice on addressing adolescence Absolutely incredible, my work with teens will never be the same and I will make it my mission to share this knowledge with my community. The neuroscience guide to teen parenting What made the experience of listening to Age of Opportunity the most enjoyable? What a refreshing perspective on adolescence! The advances in neuroscience as explained by Dr Steinberg, have given us a new understanding of how our brains develop, which is fascinating in itself, but the development of the brain during adolescence in particular, explains why it is such a perilous but exciting time in our lives - why it is truly the age of opportunity. As someone on the brink of teen parenting this book was illuminating, invigorating - adolescents are on full throttle and brakes dont work - and liberating: like being handed a compass when you're lost. Highly recommended. Must Read for Parents, Educators, and Social Workers - Really Everyone I obtained my Master of Social Work degree from IU. I have worked with youth and young adults for over 4 years, and I currently Direct a program that works with approx. 500 youth/young adults aging out of foster care each year with a current enrollment of 250. This book has made me better at understanding and engaging youth/young adults, a better leader, and a better father and uncle. I highly recommend this book for everyone and especially those who work with the 10-25 year old population in any setting. This book gives you the research behind issues for our young people, brain development, and directions on how to minimize risks and increase protective factors.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: All children misbehave for a variety of reasons, sometimes simply to test how far they can go or to get the attention they crave. Other children are more difficult to parent than others because they are impulsive, hyperactive, inattentive, or delayed in some aspect of their development. This invaluable handbook provides parents with guidelines to help prevent behavior problems from occurring; and also with strategies to promote children's social, emotional, and academic competence. This is a parenting guide for parents of children ages two- to eight years old, written by the Incredible Years series developer Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton. Members Reviews: Really annoying music destroys concentration I downloaded this on recommendation from a friend who works with children as I have been struggling as a working dad to have happy experiences with my 18 month old daughter. play time no matter how short is so valuable and I really need some help. this book is brilliant so far in its message but it's completely ruined and I'm sorry but that is simply my humble opinion. why do they play silly tunes in between statements. it's every two minutes and completely destroys my concentration. I feel really inconvenienced and would hope that I can be presented with a boom without this silly music in should anyone from the company read this review. All I wanted was an audio CD I have been sent this Audible link to my work computer which does not have the software to play it. So I have tried copying, sending elsewhere etc etc. I have had HOURS of stress and have not heard a SINGLE WORD of any audio book. This virtual audio book is like something that doesn't really exist. Nowhere on the ad did it say it would be sent that way. They asked for my physical address so I assumed they would be posting a CD. And I can't even complain because there's no address to complain to. This is a terrible waste of money for a non-profit organisation that's just trying to help people.

Whether you are parenting your biological, adopted or foster children, the Beyond Consequences relationship model shows how to connect with your children and bring your family peace and healing. Members Reviews: confusing dialogue it was confusing to listen to you going back and forth between the "traditional" and the " new view". you should have only written about the new way that you get works best. The narration was fine. Stress Model Its an outstanding book for the desperate and the generalist. I had many a-has and had to trust the ones I thought a little out there. It has some quotes and summary remarks about God took me out of the otherwise solid sounding approach. I cant wait to reread b/c concepts are not how I was raised. Very worthwhile. I think Id rather Heather or another woman just b/c Im so stressed out and felt the reading was a little lecturing. Amazing! I love this book! I love the examples of traditional views next to the new view. I was able to see from my own childhood the times my parents had used traditional parenting and remember feeling more out of control. I have been using the new ways with my daughter and they have been working amazingly well. She feels better, I feel better! One AHA moment after another. Heather explained why everything we were doing "for" our son wasn't working. We were actually doing it TO him. We have fully embraced your practice and are seeing good results. I wish there were more examples. Quite honestly, they help to prepare yourself for your next "challenge". Working through it ahead of time has been helpful to stay calm and connected. finally...I understand! This book not only offered amazing insight into my personal background, it has changed how I view, interact with, and respond to the children i work with who are in states custody. A MUST MUST MUST READ!

Title: Girls on the Edge Subtitle: Four Factors Driving the New Crisis for Girls Author: Leonard Sax Narrator: Pam Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-10 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 234 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Psychologist and physician Leonard Saxs work with young people reveals that girls today have an incredibly brittle sense of self. Though they may look confident on the outside, teens and tweens are fragile inside, obsessed with grades, sports, networking sites, and appearances. They are confused about their sexual identity, as environmental toxins are accelerating physical maturity faster than their emotional maturity. Now, Sax gives us the tools we need to help girls become independent and confident women. He provides parents with practical tips on everything from helping their daughters to make decisions to nurturing their spirits through female-centered activities to getting them involved in communities of female role models - which give young women pride and allow them to grow in a safe environment that nurtures curiosity and confidence. Critic Reviews: A MUST read. (Margaret M. Ferrara, Ph.D., associate professor, University of Nevada, Reno) Members Reviews: Now I get it. Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? Women are now told we can do it all, and encouraged to do so.....but doing it all is not easy, and often causes a great deal of overwhelming anxiety. Doing it all, when you're a woman, also can include being the mother you always wanted to be, in addition to being the best at your chosen (choices unlimited) profession. This is not necessarily attainable... Great Book - Needs A Better Narrator Well written, just like Why Gender Matters and Boys Adrift. Highly recommended reading for anyone with a daughter. However, the narrator was painful to listen to. I felt as if I was being lectured by school principal at times. Several times I actually had to turn this audio book off as her voice was like nails on a chalk board. Fantastic information ! Having five children two of which are girls a 16-year-old and 11-year-old this book was spot on.it gave me information to look at Innoway I had never thought too Which sometimes seems like how could I have not?I feel that should be required reading for any parent who has a girl when she turns seven!!!sometimes the chapters were so intense you had to take a break for a day just to think it all through.I thoroughly enjoyed boys adrift written by the same author and I would add this in that same category five star a disappointment What disappointed you about Girls on the Edge? It is not nearly as good as the book: boys on the edge. This book has little scientific research data for backup. too many subjective theories. not very convincing. For Parents and Policy Makers Leonard Sax's "Girls on the Edge" is a follow-up to his book "Boys Adrift." Both are informative and address troubling factors influencing our youth. Essentially, Sax suggests that young women are being adversely affected by issues of sexual identity, the cyberbubble, obsessions, and environmental toxins. For me the chapter on the cyberbubble was the weakest and the section on environmental toxins the most informative. His discussion of puberty and age along with eating disorders were very enlightening. Positively, Sax reports the research and literature in a straightforward manner. Negatively, he makes no real suggestions concerning how parents can remedy the circumstances revealed.

Title: Sexploitation Subtitle: Helping Kids Develop Healthy Sexuality in a Porn-Driven World Author: Cindy Pierce Narrator: Walter Dixon Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-15 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: As surprising as it may be to parents, young people today are immersed in porn culture everywhere they look. Through Internet porn, gaming, social media, marketing, and advertising, kids today have a much broader view of social and sexual possibilities, which makes it difficult for them to establish appropriate expectations or to feel adequate in their own sexuality. Even more important, no one is talking to kids directly about the problem. Parents tend to convince themselves that their children are immune to cultural influences, wait until it comes up, or hope schools and pediatricians will address the issues. Educators and doctors may be able to start the conversation, but it is fundamentally a parent's job to provide information about sex and relationships early and often to help young people find their way through their social and sexual lives. Delaying the necessary but awkward conversations with their kids leaves them vulnerable. The media, marketers, and porn and gaming industries are eager to step in anywhere parents choose to hold back. Sexploitation exposes the truth to parents, kids, educators, and the medical profession about the seen and unseen influences affecting children, inspiring parents to take the role as the primary sexuality educator. With more information, parents will gain conviction to discuss and develop values, expectations, boundaries, and rules with their kids. Kids who enter their teens with accurate information and truths stand a better chance of developing an "inner compass" when it comes to sex and relationships, which sets them up for a healthy adulthood. In her comic and straightforward style, Pierce brings together the latest research with anecdotal stories shared with her by high school and college students in the thick of it. Critic Reviews: "Pierce cites a wide range of problematic media driven issues for kids (e.g., hypersexualized female body images, violent masculinity) and urges parents to enter into the dialog to give their children alternative ways to behave and think. While Pierce points out seemingly insurmountable pressures on today's youth, she devises a workable plan for guiding them toward healthy life choices." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: Fantastic Guide for any parent or teacher. Fearless Author! Fearless! Sexploitation hits the nail on the head! To quote the person who recently introduced Cindy Pierce at a Sexploitation book-launch,"Pierce approaches this personal, universal and often taboo subject with humor", clarity and conviction - which makes us all more comfortable, capable and empowered. This book is weaponry for any college student, college-bound student, or professor as much as it is required reading for parents, teachers, school administrators. The spectrum of topics in the sexual landscape confound, cripple, and shock many of us, but Pierce boldly (fearlessly!) faces them, stares them down, and thus, makes it easier for us all to pluck up and follow her lead. Courage to raise the issues! Simply put, read this book. You'll feel like you're having a conversation with Cindy, and this conversation is the best first step to talking with kids. Cindy provides more than just tools for being honest and open with kids about sex and sexuality; she provides courage.

Lack of sleep, never-ending housework, and new fiscal concerns often lead to conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings. In And Baby Makes Three, Love Lab™ experts John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman teach couples the skills from their successful workshops, so partners can avoid the pitfalls of parenthood by: Complete with exercises that separate the "master" from the "disaster" couples, And Baby Makes Three helps new parents positively manage the strain that comes along with their bundle of joy. Members Reviews: Helps explain a lot of what has happened. Explains a lot of whay has happened in my marriage. Particularly as being a father and the divide that grew between my wife and I. Also provide excellent exercises to build a stronger than before relationship. More couple's therapy than adapting with new baby. I expected this book to be about how to adjust to a new family member and the stresses that come with new babies. While the book did give insight as to a new mom's feelings of not being cared for and new dad's feelings of being left out, this book was mostly about how to fight better, listen and respond to your partners needs and concerns, and resolve conflict in a healthy way. Anyone could use these techniques. The book did discuss the impact healthy conflict resolution has on unborn babies and infants and how a couples relationship affects a babies understanding of his world. Very helpful and I look forward to listening with my partner and actually completing the questionnaires together to help us grow and become more unified. Not as helpful as I expected The examples of couples were good. The writers unfortunately talk down to the readers as if we are children ourselves when we are actually adults with capable brains. The authors also include an overwhelming number of surveys. In the written version i may have just glossed over these, however in the audiobook that impossible because who knows when they will end. There multiple surveys with hundreds of questions for the listener (Ie very boring). On a side note, if you need a good night's sleep buy this book and put it on).

Title: Freeing Your Child From Anxiety Subtitle: Powerful, Practical Solutions to Overcome Your Child's Fears, Worries, and Phobias Author: Tamar E. Chansky Narrator: Xe Sands Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Anxiety is the number one mental health problem facing young people today. Childhood should be a happy and carefree time, yet more and more children today are exhibiting symptoms of anxiety, from bedwetting and clinginess to frequent stomach aches, nightmares, and even refusing to go to school. Parents everywhere want to know: All children have fears, but how much is normal? How can you know when a stress has crossed over into a full-blown anxiety disorder? Most parents don't know how to recognize when there is a real problem and how to deal with it when there is. In Freeing Your Child from Anxiety, a childhood anxiety disorder specialist examines all manifestations of childhood fears, including social anxiety, Tourette's Syndrome, hair-pulling, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and guides you through a proven program to help your child back to emotional safety. No child is immune from the effects of stress in today's media-saturated society. Fortunately, anxiety disorders are treatable. By following these simple solutions, parents can prevent their children from needlessly suffering today-and tomorrow. Critic Reviews: "The master of providing clear, accessible, practical advice and guidance for wise and loving care of the anxious child." (Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., author of Dear Patrick) Members Reviews: Great, but consider another format If you are interested in this book, it is because you NEED it. With that in mind, I might suggest that you will inevitably want a written or e-book version. The reason is that it is highly unlikely that EVERY chapter is relevant for the issues someone you know is dealing with. You should expect that many chapters/advice will want to be read, re-read, highlighted and/or bookmarked as reference, while others will be completely skipped. (I listened to this entire book, but decided to order a paperback copy as well when I was only 1/3 through the listen) Helpful and hopeful. Great resource for any patent with a child struggling with anxiety. Written with compassion and expertise. So helpful and wonderfully detailed. Would you consider the audio edition of Freeing Your Child From Anxiety to be better than the print version? I didn't read the print version because I couldn't find the time. Have you listened to any of Xe Sandss other performances before? How does this one compare? Very wonderful performance by Xe Sands. She made the material understandable and relatable. Any additional comments? If you have a child with anxiety this book will help, hands down. Fun and simple solutions to very complex problem The book gives practical Advice for any parent with a child with any of the multiple kinds of anxiety disorders. Such simple and easy tips-I have already begun applying these tips with my son and they are working!

Subtitle: The New Moms Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work Author: Jessica Shortall Narrator: Jessica Shortall Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: This is a practical, relatable, and humorous guide to surviving the difficult, awkward, and rewarding job of being a breastfeeding, working mother. Meet the frenemy of every working, breastfeeding mother: the breast pump. Many women are beyond "breast is best" and on to figuring out how to make milk while returning to demanding jobs. Work. Pump. Repeat. is the first book to give women what they need to know beyond the noise of the "Mommy Wars" and judgment on breastfeeding choices. Jessica Shortall shares the nitty-gritty basics of surviving the working world as a breastfeeding mom, offering a road map for negotiating the pumping schedule with colleagues, navigating business travel, and problem-solving when forced to pump in less-than-desirable locales. Drawing on the war stories, hacks, and humor of working moms and on her own stories from her demanding job and travel in developing countries, she gives women moral support for dealing with the stress and guilt that come with juggling working and breastfeeding. As she tells the listener in her witty, inspiring manifesto, "Your worth as a mother is not measured in ounces." Members Reviews: Just what I needed to hear! What a wonderful book on the working mom and breastfeeding. With humor and reality, this book walks through the physical and emotional things that mothers returning to work deal with. It was just what I needed to hear! You give me hope! I'm a female avionics mechanic who's about to have my IUD removed so my husband and I can start working on our third child. I pumped, finished college and had a part time job when we had our first child. I pumped, finished my master's degree and had a full time job after I had our second child. But, now since I am back to working in aviation, I'm VERY nervous about how I will be able to pump when I return to work. Your book gives me more hope! it was just nice to be reminded that I'm not alone! Thank you! great advice for working moms and plenty of humor. I loved this book. I felt much more confident in my pending return to work! Excellent for expecting moms that work! Very practical and to the point. I loved that she shows many perspectives in a very respectful way. also the audio book was great. I listened in my commute to work.

Tears that seem to come out of nowhere. Battles over homework that are more like wars. When your child has problems regulating his or her emotions, there's no hiding it. Children with intense emotions go from zero to 100 in seconds and are prone to frequent emotional and behavioral outbursts that leave parents feeling bewildered and helpless. Other parents may have told you that it's just a phase or that your child needs discipline. In reality your child may have emotion dysregulation, a tendency to react intensely to situations other children take in stride. Parenting a Child Who Has Intense Emotions is an effective guide to de-escalating your child's emotions and helping your child express feelings in productive ways. You'll learn strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), including mindfulness and validation skills, and practice them when your child's emotions spin out of control. This well-researched method for managing emotions can help your child make dramatic emotional and behavioral changes that both of you will be proud of. Members Reviews: take notes. book pieces together dbt and parenting in a very accessible way. has good instruction for parents and providers. This is a very factual, instructional book with a This is a very factual instructional book with a lot of helpful information. It is very consistent and provides a program with clear steps that are explained and based off of science and not opinion. Does not have unnecessary information trying to convince and encourage you.

This is not one of those. Recommend!

A large percentage of parents find their young children's sleep - or lack of - challenging. This new book from Sarah Ockwell-Smith, founder of BabyCalm, will be an indispensable guide for parents, whatever challenges they are facing with their child's sleep - from the day they bring their newborn home until their child is settled in at school. Examining everything from frequent night waking in babyhood through bedwetting in toddlerhood to nightmares and refusal to go to bed in preschoolers, this audiobook provides extensive scientific and anecdotal information plus plenty of gentle suggestions to help everyone get a good night's sleep. This is a gentle, evidence-based approach that doesn't involve leaving a baby to cry or shutting a sobbing child in his or her bedroom. Critic Reviews: "Sleep is not a battle. It's a balance, and in this book Sarah helps parents find that balance...the practical advice [in her BEDTIME acronym] for real situations is very helpful." (Juno) Members Reviews: Every New Parent Should Read This Clear, easy to follow, sound advice. I wish we were given this when our baby was born. Even more I wish every parent who was told to let their baby cry it out (I was, many times) read this and told those "advisers" how wrong they are. Beautiful book that will change my family life. Well done! A must read for anyone caring for children! This was a fabulous book and so helpful. I'm a Birth Boot Camp Instructor and mom of 2, and purchased this for help with my youngest who is currently bedsharing. I will recommend this to my students as well, and honestly to anyone caring for children, especially those who are with them in the evening and at nap times. I must listen again to retain all of her helpful information. Loved the book I thoroughly enjoyed The Gentle Sleep Book by Sarah Ockwell-Smith. There's so much great info in there. It's well presented. As a Mum to two young children, I prefer to parent along the lines of attachment parenting and so this book was perfect for me. I found the narrator to be a little robotic, though, so it was slightly off-putting at first, but I got over it! Useful and informative
You'll find some good advice and things to try, it's an OK book. not my favorite thou. Excellent book I loved this book - it is perfect for those parents who do not want to go down the cry it out way or any other method which simply doesn't feel right. This is very gentle and gives you an understanding of what your baby may be going through and may need. There is no magic solution - many times it may be that our expectations are simply not realistic, but it gives you a lot of useful tips to implement which I found feasible, gentle and which did make a difference. Totally recommended.

Children like these put a palpable strain on frustrated, helpless parents and teachers. And there is no escaping the problem: One in every five kids suffers from a diagnosable anxiety disorder. Unfortunately, when parents or professionals offer help in traditional ways, they unknowingly reinforce a child's worry and avoidance. This audiobook exposes the most common anxiety-enhancing patterns-including reassurance, accommodation, avoidance, while offering exercises and techniques to change both the children's and the parental patterns of thinking and behaving. Members Reviews: Enlightening This book turned my understanding of anxiety upside down. Using the methods described, my daughter has in just a few weeks shown remarkable progress with her anxiety. I definitely recommend this book if you have anxiety in your family. Best book on the Anxiety, period Where does Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book is not a story. It is non-fiction. Nethertheless, the reading is winsome and easy to follow. This is one of the top 5 non-fictions books I've heard on Audible. What other book might you compare Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents to and why? There are a myriad of books on anxiety (and OCD, GAD, worry, etc). Running Scared, by Ed Welch (I believe) is also excellent. Talking Back to OCD is good too (can't remember the author). I've read many, both for personal edification and to work with others.This book, though titled for parents and kids, applies to anyone who has dealt with any kind of anxiety disorder, so it rushes to the front of the line. The authors make a coherent case for a tested, hopeful, and successful approach to dealing with life-dominating anxiety, no matter what its cause. Which character as performed by Paul Costanzo was your favorite? No characters, non-fiction Any additional comments? If you, or anyone you know, struggles with anxiety (be it OCD, GAD, excessive worry, or anything else), get this book to him or her. One reading through will help, but remember, this book contains practical help that is used with people over weeks and months. Better still, listen or read the book several times to get a firm understanding of the principles and tools offered. Practice what you read. If you need a counselor to help, find one that uses a similar approach.This is a book of great hope, competently written.

Title: Choice Words Subtitle: How Our Language Affects Children's Learning Author: Peter H. Johnston Narrator: Peter H. Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-07 Publisher: Stenhouse Publishers Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Choice Words shows how teachers accomplish this using their most powerful teaching tool: language. Throughout, Peter Johnston provides examples of apparently ordinary words, phrases, and uses of language that are pivotal in the orchestration of the classroom. Grounded in a study by accomplished literacy teachers, the book demonstrates how the things we say (and don't say) have surprising consequences for what children learn and for who they become as literate people. Through language, children learn how to become strategic thinkers. In addition, Johnston examines the complex learning that teachers produce in classrooms - which is hard to name and thus is not recognized by tests, by policy-makers, by the general public, and often by teachers themselves, yet is vitally important. This audiobook will be enlightening for any teacher who wishes to be more conscious of the many ways their language helps children acquire literacy skills and view the world, their peers, and themselves in new ways. Critic Reviews: "Choice Words is perhaps the most powerful and teacher-friendly book ever published." (Instructor Magazine) Members Reviews: where is the reference guide? Lots of good stuff to think about but was unable to find the reference guide the description says to download. The author also refers to it frequently. It would have helped me digest and retain the information. Quick listen, valuable information Purposeful, precise, and insightful. Choice words offers a closer look at how language can allow students to deepen their learning and offer a model for their own language development. Pairs greatly with other educational reading. Check it out at the library or don't This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I can't think of one person, maybe someone from Australia. It was written by someone from there and it has that tone to it. It uses too many words to say something so simple. What could Peter H. Johnston have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Used less words and written a version for America. How could the performance have been better? The audio performance was fine

Boys Should Be Boys Audiobook by Meg Meeker

Title: Boys Should Be Boys Author: Meg Meeker Narrator: Pam Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 244 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Dr. Meg Meeker, best-selling author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, follows up on her success with Boys Should Be Boys, a guide for parents on how to raise a strong son in these turbulent times. Taking listeners on a journey from boyhood to manhood, Boys Should be Boys delves into the mind, heart, and spirit of boys, showing parents how they can make a difference between the boy their son is and the man he will become. Members Reviews: Great guide for grownups Had I read the negative reviews, I never would have bought this book! Thankfully, I didn't do my homework. This book is gold. My only regret is I didn't have it for the raising of my older kids as it would have saved us a lot of pain and regret. The narrator's voice is a little preachy, but inoffensive if your focus is on the content. The material is excellent. Thanks Dr. Meeker for a great resource! If you have a boy.. If you have a boy under your care you MUST read/listen to this book. I am a child of a single mother and did not learn the principles of fatherhood that Meg explains as vital to a boys growth and success in life. Highly Recommended! A must read for all parents of boys This book is an extremely practical guide on how to raise exceptional young men. I have three boys and am extremely grateful for the multiple people that recommended this book to me. I will probably be re-reading this book every year or two as my boys continue to grow and need more and more of their father. I would recommend this book to fathers as well as mothers of boys of any age. Storytelling Does Not Match Audience The author uses storytelling from patient experience perspective or made-up scenarios to explain boy behavior and development. I feel the stories were unnecessarily long. The point could be described without the narratives. The storytelling tone and descriptions appear for teen or a child audience. Yet, this book is marketed for the adult parent. My only other concern with the book is the safety contradictions. I wish our world would allow for some of the physical and emotional milestones she promotes. And although the author acknowledges modern problems with sexual predators, abuse, school violence, etc., her scenarios often promote an idyllic landscape not in existence today. In general, the book provided some useful insight into how boys think and feel from her Mother/Pediatrician perspective. Not like it was in my days There are some good points in this book, but generally comes off as an "in my day, we used to play marbles, and bought gum drops for a penny". Some how they think because kids grow up different then they did 50 years ago it's worse. Video games are bad, hand written letters are good. The facts don't add up to what they are trying to portray as reality. Perception that this generation is the worst, is false and fabricated by the media. Because that is what sells and what older people want to hear. It's easier to accept that, then the facts. If you want that type of book, and very conservative thinking this is the book.

Ignoring good information isn't the right course, but just how does one tell the difference between solid studies, preliminary results, and snake oil?

Title: Why Gender Matters Subtitle: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know About the Emerging Science of Sex Differences Author: Leonard Sax MD PhD Narrator: Keith Sellon-Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A revised and updated edition (with more than 70% new material) of the classic book about innate differences between boys and girls and how best to parent and teach girls and boys successfully, with new chapters on sexual orientation and on transgender and intersex kids. Back in 2005, the first edition of Why Gender Matters broke ground in illuminating the differences between boys and girlshow they perceive the world differently, how they learn differently, how they process emotions and take risks differently. Dr. Sax argued that in failing to recognize these hardwired differences between boys and girls, we ended up reinforcing damaging stereotypes, medicalizing misbehavior, and failing to help kids to reach their full potential. In the intervening decade, the world has changed, with an avalanche of new research which supports, deepens, and expands Dr. Sax's work. This revised and updated edition includes new findings about how boys and girls interact differently with social media and video games; a new discussion of research on gender non-conforming, LGB, and transgender kids, new findings about how girls and boys see differently, hear differently, and even smell differently; and new material about the medicalization of misbehavior. Members Reviews: Great and unexpected I was really surprised by some of the things explained in this book. Some parts were joyously enlightening, while other parts made me uncomfortable because they challenged what I though I knew. I would highly recommend this book to any human, not just parents and teachers.

The Body Never Lies Audiobook by Alice Miller

Title: The Body Never Lies Subtitle: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting Author: Alice Miller Narrator: Sara Clinton Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 136 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating effects by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts. Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller examined so persuasively the long-range consequences of childhood abuse on the body. Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical stories of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness - be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases. Never one to shy away from controversy, Miller urges society as a whole to jettison its belief in the Fourth Commandment and not to extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and often ruined, adult lives. In this empowering work, writes Rutgers professor Philip Greven, "[listeners] will learn how to confront the overt and covert traumas of their own childhoods with the enlightened guidance of Alice Miller." Members Reviews: Insight into the way parenting impacts children The way Alice Miller uncompromisingly looks at abuse, neglect, and mistreatment of children from the child's point of view is truly an eye opener. She exposes the beliefs and emotions that adults experience as a result of harmful, even cruel parenting. She liberates the reader from having to retain a helpless dependency on their parents out of guilt, obligation, or an insistence on forgiving and honoring one's parents. She gives many examples of famous and ordinary people whose bodies never lied, although many remained unconscious of their own biography and suffered. Fascinating book, great storytelling, and such a beacon of hope for treating our children much much better. A healing experience What made the experience of listening to The Body Never Lies the most enjoyable? It's great that 'honour thy mother and thy father' is questioned in this book. There are some parents who should not be honoured. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Body Never Lies? Don't know about moments but the whole book questions the way abused children are told to 'forgive' and 'honour' those who abused them when our bodies are telling us that our truth is so important. What does Sara Clinton bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? A caring genuine sounding approach I suppose. What insight do you think youll apply from The Body Never Lies? It gives you the freedom to accept how you feel, to be understanding of yourself instead of being understanding of the abuser. Any additional comments? Good work. Remarkably Enlightened This was the first time I have ever heard a self help book about abuse not ask me to forgive. It was such a relief. I feel clarity in my journey after hearing it's ok for me to be angry and not to forgive. I still have a relationship with my parents. I have no intention on stopping it.

Every parent needs to hear what he has to say. - (The Ed and Ruth Shaw Show, Talk America, nationally syndicated) Despite our best intentions, most of us are woefully unprepared to become parents. In Real Love in Parenting, you'll learn the answers to the questions below, and you'll discover that parenting can be deeply rewarding, instead of tedious and frustrating. Why are children so often angry, rebellious, disobedient and otherwise difficult? What is the real reason you get angry at your children? How can you teach your children to be loving, responsible and happy? What should you teach your children about sex? What are your children trying to tell you (and why you're not hearing it)? What should you do when children quarrel with one another? Members Reviews: Skeptical at first but glad I kept listening! I do not believe that parents cause behavior in their children. I do know we have a huge influence on them. As I began listening, I wondered if the message was that every poor action my child made was my fault and that Mr. Baer was advocating permissive parenting. I am very grateful I continued listening! This is an amazing book for parents as well as anyone who works with children. I taught second grade before my children were born. There are so many things in here that would have helped me there. I feel like I could be a much better teacher if I go back when my kids are older. I have a toddler and a baby. Much of this book is written with examples of older children but the principles are the same and learning what I have I believe I won't be in many of the situations outlined. I mentioned I feared he was teaching permissive parenting but quite the contrary! Please keep listening! He gives insights and teaches parents how to support and teach their children such that they develop responsiblity, attributes for success, they feel fulfilled, and are loving to others. My children have been blessed by what I've learned and it has given me insights into my daily interactions with all people and into myself. Well worth the time!! Great book This book helped to change my heart towards my children, which is also helping to change my behavior more effectively than other efforts have. Cant wait to teach these things to my kids so we can all see the benefits. Amazing! The truth that could heal the world! This book is very to the point and blunt and absolutely true. If people humbly follow its teachings it will heal their relationships with their children as well as their marriages and all other relationships in their lives. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints I have to say this very much alligns with the teachings of Christ as well as his example to all of us. This book is going to change my life! Sitting with a friend I have read many books, and this has concise detailed information then I began using right away. More than anything, what I take away from this book is the rich and the tender feeling of growing unconditional love I have in my heart for my children.

If you handle the situation ineffectively, your relationship with your children could suffer. You could lose their respect, lose their affection, and even, in extreme cases, lose all contact with them.

Divorce Poison offers advice on how to: Critic Reviews: "Useful resource for families dealing with divorce and child rearing." ( Booklist) Members Reviews: Required Reading Like other readers/listeners there were many similarities in my own divorce experience. I wish I had found this book earlier for me to better help my children understand loving both parents is okay despite the circumstances of divorce. It's extremely hard when divorcing a narcissist. Hope i have hope again! thank you so much. you will save my family. I still have to open up my communication with my daughter. but someone professionally finally knows and can prove what I'm through. I almost gave up many times. I'm so happy i didn't. i would have never made it here and probably my life. I'm an empath so you can see how 6 years of this has done to my well being. I blame myself for not being more assertive. I will survive because of you. I literally cried like a baby and laughed while crying as i listened to your book. i also have attention deficit issues. so that's why i did the audio. fyi your narrator is amazing. I could listen to!his!voice all day long lol. again thank you with all my heart. this is it. this is the first day of the rest of our lives. i will reach out to!you when I've taken care of my family to share my stories and how i coped. maybe it can help someone else in my situation. and earlier detect it. :) your biggest fan MATT Good coping strategies some info a bit outdated I found much of this book to be very useful, especially how he makes it clear that being the targeted paren should not mean being a passive one. The model which he goes from though, PAS (parental alienation syndrome) is mired in controversy. I disagree that, as the author contends, that this needs to be eight years long issue where the alienator often gets the upper hand. Anyone wanting to learn about a more effective approach to dealing with this should look up Dr. Craig Childress and his attachment-based parental alienation information. excellent, insightful, organized, great narration Found this incredibly applicable, I was enlightened and educated. The narrator was fabulous. I actually followed advice in this book to a T and it solved my many questions. Outcome was excellent Get this book for your children What did you love best about Divorce Poison? The practical & functional step by step approach What did you like best about this story? Warshak breaks down the process & symptoms of "divorce poisoning" to aid the reader's understanding What about Daniel Penzs performance did you like? A good narrator.

The Essential 55 Audiobook by Ron Clark

Title: The Essential 55 Subtitle: An Award-Winning Educator's Rules for Discovering the Successful Student in Every Child Author: Ron Clark Narrator: Ron Clark Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-03 Publisher: Hyperion AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 170 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Covering all aspects of life, from the classroom to the world, from human interactions to the most frightening of all, cafeteria and bathroom manners, Ron Clark shows that with determination, discipline and regular rewards, the children you stick by will be the children you eventually admire. Critic Reviews: "This book is a definite winner...Clark's slim but valuable volume will make a welcome addition to any teacher's library." (Publishers Weekly) "Clark's book is a handy blueprint for parents who want to equip their elementary- and middle-school children." (Time) Members Reviews: Southern charm with no substance This books contains a mix of anecdotes, stories and "tips" but no real why and how. The Essential 55 is in essence a list of "things you might want to teach kids". Some ideas like every student should surprise someone every week and everyone needs to learn to say thank you lead to interesting stories and this is were the book does well. It is at times heart warming and touching. The book falls apart however when it goes back to listing the "rules". Many things on the list left me scratching my head. It consists of many useless rules and a lot of etiquette lessons. Did you know that asparagus and bacon are one of 10 foods that can be eaten with your fingers? If you are looking for cute stories and one teachers experiences... it is worth a listen. If you are hoping for guidance, professional development or new knowledge then pass this one up. Mr. Manners While I enjoyed listening to Ron Clark, I was disappointed that this was not a book about education but a book on manners. For instance, Mr. Clark spent several minutes discussing how to use you napkin in a restaurant and which foods are finger foods. Perhaps in his next book, Mr. Clark will discuss his ideas about education. A Helpful Start It was interesting, funny and inspiring. It's not about duplicating his 55 essentials but about each teacher getting the inspiration and motivation to create their own essential 55. I wish I heard more applicable to high school but that's not this book. That's not what he teaches and he can only speak on his own experiences and that's fine too. The concepts are translate-able. The Essential 55 Really elementary. If you are charmed by cliche babble about what an elementary school teacher always tells his students (in the same tone of voice he speaks to his students) then this book is for you. I hated it. Inspiring I recently graduated and I am currently a long term kindergarten substitute. This book motivated me to look deeper into classroom management. It's inspiring to hear such great stories and how they stemmed groom something so simple with such high results. I will be watching Ron Clarks videos and most certainly listening to more of his books. THANK YOU

Title: Planet Middle School Subtitle: Helping Your Child Through the Peer Pressure, Awkward Moments & Emotional Drama Author: Dr. Kevin Leman Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-15 Publisher: Mission Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: It happens to every parent. One day, you have a sweet son or daughter who loves to snuggle on the couch and who puts a smile on your face just by walking into the room. The next day, it's as if someone left the door open and let in an alien with a smart mouth and an attitude that, frankly, you could do without. Entering middle school is like stepping onto a different planet - for parent and child alike. It's a planet where peer pressure, social media, and hormones can wreak havoc in your child's life and in your relationship with him or her. But these years don't have to create chaos in your family. Parenting expert and New York Times best-selling author Dr. Kevin Leman's time-tested principles will aid parents in helping their middle schooler not only survive but thrive during these turbulent years on Planet Middle School. He shows parents how to understand their child's rapidly expanding world, respond rather than react to emotional swings, tell their child about sex (before someone else tells them their version), create opportunities for their child to practice selflessness and gratitude, and ensure that their kid is one who loves home and family. Middle schoolers can be a weird, unpredictable species. But with a little help from Dr. Leman, parents will be able to ride out the interstellar storm with humor and confidence. Members Reviews: great insight great insight on how to communicate with this new generation of middle schoolers of today Great practical reminder practical parenting advice to help thru the middle school years. I will need to go back and listen when my next child gets into middle school. Decent Info, So-So on Advice Informative about the whats, whys, and hows of middle schoolers and their world. However, I think all the important stuff could have been presented in a long article rather than an eight hour book. Also, the advice and on how to deal with things was often just examples of really unrealistic conversations to have with your kids. I can just see my kids' eyes roll if I started a conversation with, "You know, when your dad and I started dating...", or "When I had a teacher in Middle School that I didn't like...". I also felt like he talked a bit too much about his own family, and although I understand that sharing his own experience is a valid part of a book like this, I found his descriptions to be a bit self-congratulatory and condescending, and therefore off-putting. I did gain some valuable insight into the mind and motives of my alien middle schooler, though, so the book is worth a quick read or listen. good book good listening book hoping some of the information helps my wife and I with our 12 1/2 year old twin boys....wow who said parenting was easy... Must read for parents Really helped me get inside my middle schoolers thoughts and understand how I needed to change my approach between my elementary school child. It covers EVERYTHING.

Title: Keeping Your Kids on God's Side Author: Natasha Crain Narrator: Ann Richardson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-13-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Empower your kids to respond well to the hard questions that threaten their faith. It's no secret that children of all ages are being exposed to negative criticism of Christianity as they spend time at school, with friends, or online. Are you prepared to talk with your kids about how they can effectively answer the tough questions that come their way? In Keeping Your Kids on God's Side, you'll find 40 of the most common challenges kids face - along with clear, easy-to-understand responses you can discuss together. This book will help you encourage open dialogue on issues your kids might hesitate to talk about. Members Reviews: I highly recommend this book The book is arranged in sequential, knowledge building, independent questions with answers. Each question is addressed individually with enough information to understand the overall concept and references to further study for those who desire more detail. I purchased 10 to hand out to the families with children who attend our Home Bible study in order to help equip them (parents) to field the challenges their children will ultimately face in the public school environment. The technical level of the apologetics is designed for the layman. Parents can even team up to role-play, asking and answering these questions of one another in preparation for the inevitable curiosity of kids. It will also help to reinforce your own foundational belief. I highly recommend this book. A Must Have! This book has made such a positive difference in our lives. As my young daughter grows up, I found myself not able to confidently answer some of her faith-based questions. Many of them, I personally didn't know the answers to. This book is so beautifully laid out and easy to read. I want my God-loving daughter to be equipped with the knowledge for herself, and when confronted by non-believers (or by other people who are intrigued). It's a tool that we keep on our bookshelf and can refer back to. She also has a wonderful Facebook page that is a great source of information and her faithful followers/fans are always posting great subjects for discussion. We are looking forward to her next book. Superb reference for Parents or teachers. Natasha has examined every aspect that skeptics bring to the debate. It is evident that she has done a lot of research. Some of what she presents, I have already thought about; but this little book gives a parent/teacher a concise "go to" resource. It is important for children to understand that we do not have to have blind faith. God has left myriad reasons to not doubt He exists and that Jesus was who He said He is. I don't think I would hand this to a young child, elementary age through 8th grade, as reading material; to a high school student, maybe. Natasha writes this in a style that demands discussion, not just a read. Every Christian family needs a copy of this book. The challenges facing Christian children today are changing from when we were growing up. There is a culture of hatred towards God, religion and Christianity. It seems as though the gloves are off and no holds are barred in the attack on Christianity, and we need to prepare our children for the questions and attacks they will face.

What America needs today are parents who don't just say they value these virtues but who live them and passionately and boldly teach them to their children. It's up to me and you and every parent in America to make the necessary changes to give our children the opportunity to change the world. We do that by instilling good character traits in them so that they will be capable of being the adults our world needs." (Korie Robertson) Many parents want to see positive character traits in their children but wonder how to instill them. As stars of the hit reality TV show Duck Dynasty, Korie and Willie Robertson receive loads of letters and messages from fans asking how they've raised such good kids.

Title: The Core Subtitle: Teaching Your Child the Foundations of Classical Education Author: Leigh A. Bortins Narrator: Laura Bos Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-15 Publisher: Classical Conversations MultiMedia Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 122 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In the past, correct spelling, the multiplication tables, the names of the state capitals and the American presidents were basics that all children were taught in school. Today, many children graduate without this essential knowledge. Most curricula today follow a haphazard sampling of topics with a focus on political correctness instead of teaching students how to study. Leigh Bortins, a leading figure in the homeschooling community, is having none of it. She believes that there are core areas of knowledge that are essential to master. Without knowing the multiplication tables, children can't advance to algebra. Without mastery of grammar, students will have difficulty expressing themselves. Without these essential building blocks of knowledge, students may remember information but they will never possess a broad and deep understanding of how the world works. In this book, Bortins gives parents the tools and methodology to implement a rigorous, thorough, and broad curriculum based on the classical model, including: Members Reviews: Great, Practical Application Would you listen to The Core again? Why? Listening to this book once a year while my children are under 10 will be a must! The book is jam-packed with tools I can use in our homeschool over and over again. Even as a 5th year Foundations Tutor in Classical Conversations, I learn something new every time I hear/read The Core. How could the performance have been better? I personally wish the narrator would have been a little more mature. The sing-song tone she uses throughout the book can drive me batty - especially in the first few chapters. Once I get about mid-way through the audiobook, my ears sort of learn to deal with it and get past the distraction of her style in order to absorb the content. What did you learn from The Core that you would use in your daily life? The tips in the later chapters when she starts breaking things down subject by subject are invaluable. Reading, Geography, Spelling, Math, you name it - Leigh Bortins is simple, practical, and thorough. Any additional comments? Hoping they will soon have The Question and The Conversation available on Audio as well. Although I hope they choose a different narrator for those. A must read!! Complete how to on classical eduction! Practical and empowering. I left this book with a plan and confidence to educate my children. SO encouraging! Leigh Bortins gives me some amazing encouragement and direction to families whose children are enrolled in Classical Conversations, a classical school, a private school, a public school, who homeschool, to those who teach, and to those that are involved with children outside of a school setting. It was well worth my time, and I will probably listen to it several more times. Good ideas It had some good ideas but a lot of it seemed really boastful and felt like a sales pitch Wonderful, uplifting, and reassuring! The narrators simple enunciation adds to the idea that classically educating your children can be fun, and easily folded into daily life whether your children are educated from home or at a brick and mortar school.

Hampton Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: They're not so big in size, but their screams could burst eardrums and their habits can really drive you nuts. There is no need to dress these little monstrosities up in a devil's costume. That's right; we are here to discuss possibly the most talked about stage of child development that's right up there with the adolescent stage: the toddler stage. Cue the music for the Terrible Twos! This book aims to serve as your one-stop-shop for advice and methods of dealing with some of the most pressing developmental and behavioral issues of this very important phase of your child's life. The contents of this book include the following: This book is all about changing our mindsets not to necessarily think like our toddler(s), but to get on a level where you can not only assist them in proper healthy development but also truly get along with your child on a basis that not many parents ever get to. It is time to accept that your precious baby is no longer helpless. It is time to embrace your child's developments with other actions other than screaming back at them or becoming frustrated. I can tell you this book will not solve all your issues, for there will still be days you want to give up and leave your small child to defend for themselves. But this book will help you survive the "Terrible Twos", as well as even learn to enjoy your child while they are still this age. Your baby is growing up, and there is no slowing down. Members Reviews: changedmy outlook towards my kid... Listening to this book has made home life so much better. The relationship isn't yelling and forcing, it's asking and talking.

Make Your Kid A Money Genius (Even If You're Not) Audiobook

Title: Make Your Kid A Money Genius (Even If You're Not) Subtitle: A Parents' Guide for Kids 3 to 23 Author: Beth Kobliner, Beth Kobliner - introduction Narrator: Julia Whelan Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: From Beth Kobliner, the author of the best-selling personal finance bible Get a Financial Life - a new must-have guide showing parents how to teach their children (from toddlers to young adults) to manage money in a smart way. Many of us think we can have the "money talk" when our kids are old enough to get it...which won't be for years, right? But get this: Research shows that even preschoolers can understand basic money concepts, and a study from Cambridge University confirmed that basic money habits are formed by the age of seven. Oh, and research shows the number one influence on kids' financial behaviors is mom and dad. Clearly, we can't afford to wait. Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You're Not) is a jargon-free step-by-step guide to help parents of all income levels teach their kids - from ages 3 to 23 - about money. It turns out the key to raising a money genius isn't to teach that four quarters equal a dollar or how to pick a stock. Instead it's about instilling values that have been proven to make people successful - not just financially but in life: delaying gratification, working hard, living within your means, getting a good education, and acting generously toward others. More specifically, you'll learn why allowance isn't the Holy Grail when teaching your kid to handle money and why after-school jobs aren't always the answer either. You'll discover the right age to give your kid a credit card and learn why doling out a wad of cash can actually be a good parenting move. You don't need to be a money genius to make your kid a money genius. Regardless of your comfort level with finance - or your family's income - this charming and fun book is an essential guide for passing along enduring financial principles, making your kids wise beyond their years - and peers - when it comes to money. Members Reviews: A must read! Essential information ever parent needs to share with children. Read twice! It's filled with content every kid oughta learn in school. Makes a better book than an audiobook I enjoyed this audiobook , but I think it's a better book. The content and the performance are great , but you find yourself wasting half your time listening to advice that are not necessarily applicable yet because your child hasn't reached some of those stages or is already passed them. When it's a book, you can see from the heading which sections do not necessarily apply to you and just skip them, but it's not so simple when you're listening, so a lot of precious time is wasted.

Knights in Training Audiobook by Heather Haupt

Title: Knights in Training Subtitle: Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys Author: Heather Haupt Narrator: Heather Haupt Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Bringing chivalry back into our modern-day world, this book shows us how to inspire today's generation of young boys to pursue honor, courage, and compassion. In an age when respect and honor seem like distant and antiquated relics, how can we equip boys to pursue valor and courageously put the needs of others before their own? This book helps parents to inspire their boys by captivating their imagination and honoring their love for adventure. Heather Haupt explores how knights historically lived out various aspects of the knights' Code of Chivalry, as depicted in the French epic Song of Roland, and how boys can embody these same ideals now. When we issue the challenge and give boys the reasons why it is worth pursuing, we step forward on an incredible journey toward raising the kind of boys who, just like the knights of old, make an impact in their world now and for the rest of their lives. Bonus PDF included with Knights in Training resources and book recommendations. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: Boy moms be inspired in a doable way! From the moment I started listening to this I just wanted to focus solely on it. I kept making bookmarks for my husband to listen to and for me to specifically remember certain bits. I've recommended it to every boy mom I know. When I started reading this book I went into it with curiosity but feeling that I was reading just another boy mom book. But Heather's voice is just so personable. You can tell that these things she put into practice with her boys built her up instead of wearing her down with more to do. It made me get excited about stepping out in another boy adventure and as a mom with four boys I'm in the thick of it. I wanted to try it all. I kept telling my boys about what I was listening to and what I was excited about putting into practice with them. They would ask everyday if I had finished the knight book yet. We are all excited to start this adventure. It's been a wonderful change for our home... And it's not wearing me out! Thank you Heather. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY Fun and interesting A really good read. The application of the principles of chivalry in raising boys is a brilliant notion. I see this being a great tool to use with son as he's very fond of emulating heroes. Not just for parents of boys! Even though I have two girls, this was such a great book. While the implementation will look different, many of the principles outlined in this book apply to girls as well as boys. More importantly, it reminded me of some of the aspects of "boyhood" I need to teach my girls about such as allowing a boy to help you. (For an independent minded girl this is the last thing she wants!) You are either raising modern day knights or the young maidens who will one day marry those knights. Let's raise an honorable generation! Little boys to knights! I have been praying for a fun, purposefully way in helping my son learn how to become a gentleman. I have 3 girls as well and this book has great ideas on helping them all to become the best they can in a playful way! When I have expressed my concerns of raising "good" adults who fill their potential, I have been told to "just let them be kids".

Navigating Your Treacherous Child Custody Case in Family Court Audiobook by Anne Caldwell MBA

Title: Navigating Your Treacherous Child Custody Case in Family Court Author: Anne Caldwell MBA Narrator: Tyra Kennedy Format: Unabridged Length: 37 mins Language: English Release date: 12-13-16 Publisher: Anne Caldwell, MBA Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Not intended as legal advice, this book offers support for anyone navigating a treacherous child custody case in family court. After years as an executive director of a nonprofit that assisted families who were victims of family court racketeering, the author has written this guide to warn families of the dangers of harm to themselves and their children, emotionally and financially, based on numerous case studies of families she worked with. When family court professionals, such as ad litems, amicus attorneys, attorneys, counselors, or forensic custody evaluators, get swept up by the profit motive, they fail to represent the children they serve. Instead, they target the parents' and in some cases, grandparents' nest eggs and families get caught up in a constellation of expensive court ordered services that can span for years, until every drop of the family's assets are drained. This guide will assist you if you have not yet entered family court, if you are caught up in the throes of an expensive legal battle, or if your case has concluded and you realize you are a victim of family court racketeering, in which case this guide will direct you on how to pursue suits for damages to try to reclaim your children's financial future. Members Reviews: A quick look into child custody between parents This is a quick look into the custody disputes between parents who are taken advantage of by the professionals who are supposed to be helping them navigate their cases. It only touches on parental custody though, not state removal of children and the corruption of the court appointed professionals who can do whatever they want with impunity. I would use this as a guide but only if you are considering a family court action and will be paying the professionals yourself. Not a good resource for fighting for custody from the state.

Help your daughter respond and react to bullying where it starts - in elementary school.... Critic Reviews: "Little Girls Can Be Mean offers useful strategies and tools to help parents empower their daughters from the earliest ages." (Rachel Simmons, best-selling author of Odd Girl Out) Members Reviews: Great book! Would you consider the audio edition of Little Girls Can Be Mean to be better than the print version? I really loved this audiobook. It was very informative, great narration, and I learned a lot. I felt like it had great advice for parents and felt like it addressed every situation that my daughter has been faced with in her social life. I like to mark up books for things I want to save for later. So with that I think the print version would have been better so I could go back reread parts and use some of the tips and activities for girls that it suggested. But I know that with my busy schedule I would have never completed the book. So I am glad that I did get the audiobook so I could actually finish it, because I felt like there was a lot of really helpful info that I'm glad I didn't miss. Useful and Enlightening Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I would say it was time well spent, though I wouldn't necessarily say I enjoyed the book. It did provide useful information that helped my understanding of the developmental levels of girls and their particular methods of interacting. I was a girl many years ago of course, and it was interesting to see how many of the experiences you remember from childhood are actually generic - things that all girls come to experience over time, as opposed to the very personal experiences they seemed to be. I like the way they use situations that can be generalized (ie a situation of being different in the example the girl is Japanese American, but it is the "differentness" that can be changed and the principles reused) and then give specific examples of how you would use their 4 step plan. Admittedly the four steps seem pretty simplistic and at first I thought the book might be useless. But it really wasn't. It is through the examples they share that you see ways you could do something similar. It had a lot of sections that could inspire discussion with your daughter and some activities you can try as you (1) observe, (2) connect, (3) guide and (4) support to act. There is one scenario that we look at from one girl's point of view that is later revisited from the other girl in the story's point of view. This was particularly good in helping to see how the information that you may get from your child is colored by their world view. I discussed parts of the book with my 8 year old daughter. It helped me think of the right questions to ask her to learn valuable things about her friendships. You have to be starting with the right info to be guiding your daughter in the right direction. I started the book because I was thinking my daughter might be in a friendship with a mean girl, what they call a "yo-yo friendship". I realized what I had heard could just as easily be interpreted as my daughter being aggressive rather than assertive in her interactions. Now I really know what I want to look closer at.

Title: Bradshaw On: The Family Subtitle: A New Way of Creating Solid Self-Esteem Author: John Bradshaw Narrator: Alan Bomar Jones Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Based on the public television series of the same name, Bradshaw On: The Family is John Bradshaw's seminal work on the dynamics of families that has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1988. Here, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society. Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family setting and a societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps---from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial---and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones. He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned, helps you heal your family. Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live. He helps you reenvision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect---and improve---your world. Members Reviews: Helpful book; WRONG narrator The book deals with sensitive emotional issues, which are steamrolled by the narrator's barbaric performance. The number of mispronounced words, additionally, is truly disturbing and profoundly distracts the listener from the content. Good book and gifted therapist/author--wrong narrator! Awful narrator Great book with a really awful narration, I really tried because I'm interested on the subject but couldn't listen to the end. Sounds like he's reading a tv comercial line rather than such a sensitive book. Okay... It's okay for becoming aware of common dysfunctional patterns in family systems theory. It may be helpful to slow the narrator down using the speed feature in the app. He speaks fast and at different rates. The conclusion was very liberal contrasting the view of dysfunctional family systems discussed. Yet, it still seemed strict and polarizing. Also, supporting the author's highest conclusions with even moderate views of some of the belief systems cited is not possible without making those belief system something they are not. Good read, chocked full of info. really easy to read, written simply enough you don't have to be a psychologist to understand the information, this book had opened my eyes Eye opening insight Would you consider the audio edition of Bradshaw On: The Family to be better than the print version? This is a relative question. Yes, the print version would be helpful because there are lists and unless you're seated and listening, it's hard to catch all that content for future reference. However, I drive a lot and having the ability to listen means I cover material more quickly than I otherwise would be able. What was one of the most memorable moments of Bradshaw On: The Family? Learning about shame and how it manifests itself in our behavior is shocking.

Title: Collateral Damage Subtitle: Guiding and Protecting Your Child Through the Minefield of Divorce Author: John Chirban Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Based on research from more than 10,000 surveys from children and parents of divorce, Collateral Damage presents parents with an overview of the impact that divorce has on their children and offers ways to better serve their needs at this critical time. Approximately 50 percent of marriages in the United State fail. Add to that the increasing number of couples who never marry, have children together, and later go their separate ways. In all of these scenarios, children suffer greatly - often in silence, as parents do not know how to effectively guide their kids. When the sorrow and emotional issues of children are not addressed, the cycle of divorce is likely to continue for them and in generations that follow. In addition, while children may appear to be resilient and adjusting, without proper support, children of divorce are more prone to drug and alcohol abuse, criminal behavior, mental and physical illness, and suicide. How can parents manage their own hurt, shock, anger, and despair so that they can provide their children with what they need? Collateral Damage sounds a wake-up call for parents. It identifies the land mines inherent in the dangerous terrain of divorce and equips them to help their children not to feel abandoned or unheard. Topics covered include: The failure of a marriage does not mean the end of the family. Providing a stable, supportive, healthy relationship with your child demonstrates what a loving relationship looks like, better preparing them for intimate relationships and marriage as an adult. Members Reviews: Good info but way too many stories. This book could be much much shorter and just as good by removing half the stories and keeping the 'info'. Very good book. Very helpful during Divorce Gives very helpful tips and helps to show what kids feel when parents divorce. Very insightful Good reference book I loved this book. But in some ways he uses surveys that make me feel like they fit his narrative points. Based on the fact that i agreed whole heartedly in my personal experience with divorce as a child and in my marriage, with the examples he gave.

Does he or she seem to take longer than others to get stuff done - whether completing homework, responding when spoken to, or getting dressed and ready in the morning? Drs. Ellen Braaten and Brian Willoughby have worked with thousands of kids and teens who struggle with an area of cognitive functioning called "processing speed" and who are often mislabeled as lazy or unmotivated. Filled with vivid stories and examples, this crucial resource demystifies processing speed and shows how to help kids (ages five to 18) catch up in this key area of development. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: wonderful I greatly enjoyed this audible book it brought some insight into my own child struggles. he has been in therapy for a couple of months now but the doctors and in our next session I'm going to bring up all the components of this book to the doctor and get their opinion as well Great Information Would you listen to Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up again? Why? Our son was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of 6th grade along with slow processing speed. This book gave us so much great information . What did you learn from Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up that you would use in your daily life? Give a one specific task at a time to complete instead of trying to giving him 3 or 4 things to complete. Good, but lacking I enjoyed the book except I felt like it was lacking. I was hoping for my techniques of how to help those with slow processing speed vs just hearing examples of what slow processing speed is. Every parent who wants answers should get this book Logical Concise description of presentation testing and practical points on how to assess understand and help your child navigate school, home with excellent strategies and great examples excellent book highly recommended Just dumb Boring, unhelpful. Wish I could delete it from my Audible library. I suppose lost self help books are pretty bad, but I would put this toward the bottom of the heap.

Are you a father of a young daughter or teenage girl? Do you know if your words or actions encourage her or bring her down? If you're like most dads, you may think you need to be a mother to boost your daughter's confidence. But really, all you need to do is make a few simple tweaks to the way you communicate. If you do this, you'll build her self-esteem, improve her self-worth, and be the hero in her life. And you won't even have to change who you are to do it. What if you don't know what you're doing when it comes to raising a daughter? In this parenting guide, you'll discover how to be a better father to your daughter even if you've been around only boys all your life. You'll also find out how you can save your daughter from becoming an unhappy teenager. You'll also discover: Discover how dads, stepdads, and father figures like you boost their daughters' self-esteem and improve their lives. Meet several women who reveal how their fathers influenced their lives when they were young girls. And as a bonus, I'll reveal my personal successes and failures, so you can avoid what I did wrong and copy what I did right. So stop wondering whether you're raising your daughter right. Members Reviews: Watch what you say and how you say it. This book was helpful to me not as a dad but as an Uncle. I got stuck in an airport and decided to pick this up because it was affordable. I am "Uncle" to lots of kids. Friends' kids and my own siblings. Nieces and Nephews alike. As an Uncle I often don't know how to answer questions from 7year olds. I don't want to step on her parents toes. I want to be a good Uncle and here is a sample of what I learned as a guy with no kids of his own. They lose an opportunity to learn and advance if you don't let them fail sometimes. One thing that has been hard for me was knowing if I should cast down some wisdom, or let her figure it out on her own. It was helpful to me hearing what a dad had to say. "Kill negative thoughts...it's not enough to have her just think rainbows and butterflies all day long." That makes sense, keep realistic, but still positive. Fathers Take Your Place #Kings =#Queens I think this book gives fathers new & old some useful tips on how to be a father to their daughters. It also helps them come to terms with the adjustment of not having a son and the true rewards of fathers who actively play a major part in their daughters lives. I especially love the many life story collaboration of other people that you can use as a example to help you on your journey of fatherhood. Overall this is a really good book that don't require a lot of your time. Read it, enjoy it, find what works best you and just walk it out. God Bless! A book for all Fathers of Daughters This is one of those rare books that could add direct measurable benefit to relationships between dads and their daughters. Some results and changes of behaviour (your or hers) may be immediate, while the valuable longer lasting benefits may include the growing sense of respect between you. The book is easy to read and contains much wisdom, guidance, and many valuable case studies and real life stories.

Learn how to gain control and influence anyone, anytime: get anyone to forgive you, defeat the competition, get access to any secret, get anyone to return your call, stop verbal abuse in an instant, get anyone to find you attractive, and stop jealous behavior in anyone.

Members Reviews: Good practical advice A good book with very practical advice. I was not 100% satisfied because I am looking for deeper psychological analysis, but this book gives great advice on everyday situations. I am yet to find a more practical book. Fundamental but Practical David Lieberman provides a fresh, but practical perspective on influencing. As a behavioral scientist his work is however founded in sound principles and cutting edge thinking. A truely helpful book. How to Manipulate Anyone! This book can help anyone willing to practice its principles be a more gregarious personality. It is not just for mouse-hearted individuals seeking to become lions--this book also has some practical advice for the rest of us. While I wouldn't dare to use everything in this book, it is useful knowledge to have. Some practical advice offered I am the type of person that can get stuck in a conversation every now and then, baffled as to what the proper response may be. This book offers very precise things to say in sticky situations and/or approaches for times when there is something to be gained and you are unsure how to do it. It would be better if the book was longer and more explanatory though. disappointing. This book was disappointing. A bit on the common sense side. it lays out tactics that most of us know and practice subconciously anyway. (ie.. how to tell if someone is lying to you). this book does not deliver on its promise. save your money.

Protecting the Gift Audiobook by Gavin De Becker

Title: Protecting the Gift Subtitle: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (And Parents Sane) Author: Gavin De Becker Narrator: Gavin De Becker Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 197 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In his groundbreaking best seller The Gift of Fear, Gavin de Becker showed millions of readers that, like every creature on earth, human beings can predict violent behavior. Now, in this exclusive audio presentation of Protecting the Gift, de Becker empowers parents to fully trust their own intuition when it comes to their children's safety. In this indispensable resource, de Becker provides keen insights into the behavior and strategies of predators. He offers practical new steps to enhance children's safety at every age level: specific questions parents can ask to effectively screen and evaluate babysitters, daycare services, schools, and doctors; a "Test of 12" safety skills children need before being alone in public; warning signs to help parents protect children from sexual abuse; and how to keep teenage girls and boys from unsafe situations with peers and adults. De Becker also shatters the myth that rules like "Never talk to strangers" will keep your children safe. By showing what danger really looks like - as opposed to what we might imagine it looks like - de Becker gives parents freedom from many common worries and unwarranted fears. ©1999 Gavin De Becker; (P)1999 Random House, Inc., Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House, Inc. Members Reviews: Must own book if you have a family! This is a GREAT book... you just have to get past a nauseating, hypocritical, factually incorrect, anti-gun rant. It's a shame to have a big, fat, illogical red mark right across such a fantastic work, and I'm sure it will make others question De Becker's credibility, as it did me, when they hear something that has been proven factually incorrect as we hear in his long rant on the scariness of guns. Worse yet are those who DON'T know the facts about the gun control argument and take De Becker's lies and errors as truth. I do hope listeners are able to pick the wheat from the chaff as there is some great information here which is not available in many other (audio)books and this is such an important topic. Every High School Freshman Should Be Required This is one of the most important and best-presented books I've ever listened to. It tells what parents, children and especially young women need to know to keep from becoming victims of violent crime. I've been in law enforcement for a long time, and much was eye-opening to me. The only drawback is that it is severely abridged, and there is no unabridged version. A Must Read (or listen) for all parents Protecting the gift picks up where "Gift of Fear" leaves off. It is full of insights into keeping your child (as well as yourself) safe. What he says makes so much sense - I have already recommended it to several friends, and will continue to do so! Thank you for an amazing work! Anti-gun rant a real dissaponiment Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes, with the caveat that De Becker goes on an anti-gun rant that is truly reprehensible at this point. The information is quite good and likely to prove helpful to anyone who pays attention. Would you recommend Protecting the Gift to your friends? Why or why not? Pretty sure I just answered this same question in the item above. What aspect of Gavin De Beckers performance would you have changed? See item1 above.

Title: Orgasmic Birth Subtitle: Your Guide to a Safe, Satisfying, and Pleasurable Birth Experience Author: Elizabeth Davis, Debra Pascali-Bonaro Narrator: Aimee Jolson Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Based on the hit documentary that inspired a vibrant online community, this innovative approach to birthing shows women how to maximize childbirth's emotional and physical rewards. With more than 4 million babies born in the United States each year, too many women experience birth as nothing more than a routine or painful event. In her much-praised film Orgasmic Birth, acclaimed filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro showed that in fact childbirth is a natural process to be enjoyed and cherished. Now she joins forces with renowned author and activist Elizabeth Davis to offer an enlightening program to help women attain the most empowering and satisfying birth experience possible. While an orgasmic birth can, for some, induce feelings of intense, ecstatic pleasure, it is ultimately about taking control of one's own body and making the most informed decisions to have a safe, memorable, and joyful birth day. Whether women choose to give birth at home, in a hospital, or in a birthing center, Orgasmic Birth provides all the necessary tools and guidance to design the birth plan that's best for them. Featuring inspiring stories from mothers and their partners and filled with practical advice and solutions, this one-of-a-kind resource is the next frontier of natural, intimate childbirth. Members Reviews: Preparing for first child Following in my mom/cousins footsteps I want to have a natural-true-to-instinct birth with a midwife (we'll see how it actually goes!). Unfortunately everyone else in my life (friends/colleagues) have gone the root of epidurals, "feeling-less", laying down births lead by ob-gyns so I was after positive birth stories that reflect what I'm after. This book delivered! It paints a beautiful image to aim for and manifest but also covers the reality that birth rarely goes to plan. It provides reasons and purposes behind each phase of labour, each pain, and how each work together when we don't fight the process. It doesn't promise pain free unrealistic expectations but doesn't help to alter the mindset around the sensations. Expecting to actually orgasm in birth after reading this? This I find unlikely but an optimistic goal (reach for the stars to land in the clouds right?) nonetheless. A must-read! This is the first book that was truly empowering and honoring of what women's bodies are meant to do: bear a child. It challenges our current ideas that medical interventions are the only safe way to give birth. It also shares beautiful, powerful birth stories. His book has shifted me, from being very afraid of giving birth to my first child, to now feeling positive anticipation as to the powerful possibilities that lie ahead with my labor. From every story I heard, a woman is completely and utterly transformed in the journey of birthing. I am amazed to say that I am now looking forward to it, thanks to this book. Also, the performance was one of the very best on Audible! So much more than I expected. I'm so glad I got past my reservations about the title. There is so much information that mother and do u las should have in this book.

Title: The Entitlement Trap Subtitle: How to Rescue Your Child with a New Family System of Choosing, Earning, and Ownership Author: Richard Eyre, Linda Eyre Narrator: Sandra Burr Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 03-06-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Number-one New York Timesbestselling authors Richard and Linda Eyre have spent the last twenty-five years helping parents nurture strong, healthy families. Now theyve synthesized their vast experience into an essential blueprint for instilling children with a sense of ownership, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. At the heart of their plan is a Family Economy, complete with a family bank, checkbooks for the kids, and a system of initiative-building responsibilities that teaches children to earn money for the things they want. The motivation carries over to ownership of their own decisions, goals, and grades in school. The Eyres guiding principles set a pattern for helping kids to proactively pursue their potential and internalize values that will stay with them forever. With The Entitlement Trap in hand, parents can: Anecdotal, time-tested, and gently humorous, The Entitlement Trap has been called the thinking parents answer to the Tiger Mother. It challenges some of the sacred cows of parenting and replaces them with solid principles and practices. Critic Reviews: Amazing, eye-opening, essential. If you have elementary- or preschool-age children, The Entitlement Trap is the best parenting book out there. . . . Read it, memorize it, and thank the Eyres for writing it. (Jean Twenge, author of Generation Me) Members Reviews: Best Parenting Book Ever! I loved this book. I finished it in three days (no road trip). I expected it to only focus on materialism, but it went so far beyond that. I didn't have any "this doesn't sit right with me" moments like I have with every other book I've read. Loved it! I love this book. It's different listening to it then reading it yourself but I still got so much out of it. I highly recommend it! Great resource for setting up family system What about Sandra Burrs performance did you like? Nice voice! However, MUST listen at 1.25x speed, otherwise its too slow. What insight do you think youll apply from The Entitlement Trap? I especially liked the economic system where children earn their money instead of getting a handout (allowance). I can see how this will be beneficial, so children won't always expect a handout their entire life (aka welfare & food stamps). Any additional comments? I did notice several "plugs" for other products the authors have put out. While this book is a great tool to get started, there is still more info to be learned from these authors. For example, their preschool program and several of their other books. Required Reading for ALL Parents!! This book was invaluable! I can't wait to go back through it and mark up my hard copy to get started on some of the ideas included. Very thoughtful, well- written and inclusive of any person from any walk of life. Enlightening!! Great guidance tool for parents today. I am grateful for having read it. I am going to try out some things explained here as soon as possible.

Members Reviews: Learned a lot! Really enjoyed it! Made me cry often! Ha! Love the biblical aspect! Great book! I look at my daughters with new eyes and daily intention. Excellent book. Mechanical oration. I absolutely loved this book. The lessons taught I will use time and time again over the years. I will read this book over and over again. However the narrator sounded so mechanical it was nearly distracting. she sounded less than human with her precise annunciation. That said, don't let the narrator keep you from listening to this book and the valuable lessons it holds. I highly recommend this book. Good. But skip chapters 9 & 10 Some good information sprinkled into general knowledge. Although I am not religious, I will still accept other people have a lot different spiritual views than I. But chapters 9 & 10 was more of a serman and push of the writers religious views. 3 stars as there is not enough value in this book to recommend it to people I know. Although it may speak out to some. Also a big congratulations to Cheri Fuller on taking the time to write the book. Something I and a lot of others have never accomplished. Cheers :) This book caught me just in time. I could have missed the whole point of being a mother and accidentally ignored the symbols of my daughters language and live. She's just six and before this book I was treating her like a young woman before she's even left childhood. Forever busy with activities and fleeting, one sided chats, I forgot to listen to my daughter. I forgot she too is a person with her own dreams. This book has taught me so many beautiful approaches to mothering and made me excited to be a mother again rather than feeling it's all so exhausting. Thank you Cheri

Ryle Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 05-04-11 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Thoughts for Young Men, by J. C. Ryle, is a short yet passionate appeal that, a hundred years after it was written, remains relevant for today. Replete with warnings, exhortations, and instruction about this life's many trials, temptations, and common pitfalls, Thoughts for Young Men is biblical, practical, timeless, and wise. Ryle covers four great temptations that plague most young men: sloth, lust, love of pleasure, and peer pressure. One of the last great Puritans, Ryle tackles each subject with unsurpassed tenderness and tact. Listeners will chuckle at some of the exhortations to stay away from books and newspapers that lead to sin. If only Ryle could see us now, with cable TV and the Internet. Ryle's advice will help any young man to live a more obedient, full life. Thoughts for Young Men is an excellent book for adolescent and teen boys. It encourages them to choose the high path of integrity rather than to yield to the many temptations to stray from that path. J. C. Ryle's style is one of a passionate appeal based on solid logic and the truth of the Scriptures. Members Reviews: Happiness and Truth I say to all even though this excellent short book is written to young men, if your heart desires truth and happiness then you can't afford to neglect this title. Practical and Pastoral This is one I'll listen to over, and over again. J.C. Ryle read by Grover Gardner is a much appreciated treat. Timeless spiritual advice for all I know that the title says "for Young Men." However, the advice that is given by Mr. Ryle is excellent advice for ALL people. Mr. Ryle uses tons of scripture to make his points. The book was written in the 1800's, but the writing is very easy to read and understand. The advice is also very Godly and relevant in any generation. I will read/listen this one again and will pass it on to the young people in my life.

My wife and I are expecting a baby ... This book was absolutely wonderful. My wife and I are expecting a baby in October and this book has helped us get our dogs ready. I have tried a number of things with dogs in terms of training with no success. Our dogs responded well to this instruction and are continuing to improve. The book itself is a very easy read. 119 pages took me about 2 hours to read and I consider myself a very slow reader. The instructions are simple and avoid complicating things. My wife was concerned about one of our dogs with the new baby coming, so I reached out to the author on his website. Not only did he email me back within hours of me sending him a message, he set aside time during his vacation to speak with me on the phone for roughly 30+minutes. His instruction on the phone was comforting to our specific situation and put both me wife and I at ease. I encourage anyone expecting a child, and has dogs, to read this book and implement it into their lives. The book had useful information that pertained to both dog personalities Bought this book for my daughter and son-in-law - two dogs and a baby on the way. The book had useful information that pertained to both dog personalities. They are already implementing some of the suggests.

Covering areas such as worry, marriage, priorities, money, and the trap of comparison, this lively Bible teacher brings Jesus's message alive in a format geared to the short moments moms have that can be allotted to reflection. This is a devotional for the woman inside the mom - the Bible student, the learner, the world-changer. Members Reviews: must read for moms with small children.

From when a baby begins developing his or her senses to what to feed your new baby, you will learn the essentials for being a new dad. Members Reviews: Great tips! Great tips, but I would have appreciated more details and elaboration in some sections of the book. Overall: very helpful. very interesting and informative!! AAA+ very easy to understand. speaks very clearly with a good, pleasant sounding voice. I highly recommend this to all you bb daddies that wanna take care of theirs. The best audiobook I\ve seen for new dads Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? My wife just had our first child a few weeks ago and it is not exaggerating to say that I was absolutely terrified and unsure how will I be able to handle it. I'd been reading my wife's pregnancy books, and they were quite useless for me, so I decide to get myself a better read. Becoming a (good) father is a journey and I feel more prepared after listening to this audiobook, because it covered so many different topics about this subject. I highly recommend it! lackluster. list heavy. anecdotal. poorly researched. far too short to be of any real use. more pamphlet than book. Don't mind being talked down to? You'll love it. Couldn't finish this book. Felt to much like it was aimed at dads who don't want to really bond with or know their baby. Most of the advice is based on the idea that you're used to having your wife not work, stay home, clean and make dinner. it's 2016 this book is terrible. what a waste of time/money.

The Five Love Languages of Teenagers Audiobook by Gary Chapman

Title: The Five Love Languages of Teenagers Author: Gary Chapman Narrator: Chris Fabry Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-10 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 257 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Who is your teenager listening to? Teenagers today are bombarded by messages from their peers, the Internet, music, movies....the list goes on. As parents, you may wonder if your words mean anything at all. If so, take heart: all research indicates that the most significant influence on the life of a teenager comes from his or her parents. Yesparents! In this updated volume, marriage and family expert Dr. Gary Chapman lays out the tools you need to communicate with your teenager. As Dr. Chapman states, At the root of much teenage misbehavior is a teens empty love tank. I am not suggesting that parents do not love their teenagers; I am suggesting that thousands of teenagers do not feel that love. For most parents, it is not a matter of sincerity but rather lack of information on how to communicate love effectively on an emotional level. Starting with the world in which your teenager lives, Dr. Chapman walks through the emotional needs of teenagers and how you can best express your love to them. Youll learn how to identify your teenagers love language, how to address their unique need for independence and responsibility, how to combat anger and set up boundaries, and how to best parent your teenager if you are a single parent or a blended family. Members Reviews: Still up-to-date! This book is about not only loving your teenager, but also about learning how to demonstrate your love in a way they feel they are loved. Sometimes at home with all the rules and responsibilities, it is hard to appreciate your rebel teen, let alone show them they are appreciated. When I started this book, I had already listened to 5 Love languages of children, and 5 love language for couples, thus I thought it would repeat itself, but it didn't. This one has a great approach for teens, and if you are one of those renitent parents who is struggling with his/her teen at home, you need to get this book and absorb every ounce of knowledge this book has to offer. With the advance of modern life, it gets harder and harder to understand your teen, but this book presents simple things and strategies you can do with your teen in order for you to have a more harmonious domestic environment. This book is especially aimed at helping parents not only to learn to show their kids' love language, but also to understand their teen's. If you are not a parent, but want to understand the teens around you, and how to show your love for them in a way they get it, this is a great source of knowledge. I recommend it. Not really for Homeschoolers We just read this as our pick in our Dads and kids book club (homeschooling moms get the night off!). We chose it because we have a number of young adults, a.k.a Teens, and thought that this version would be more applicable for them than the original. The 5 Love languages was fantastic as usual. However, the parenting tips simply did not apply to our group. The kids were appalled at the teens' behaviors that were portrayed in the book. I'm not saying home schooled kids can't act up, but not the way they were described in the book. If you are a homeschooler, you will want to read this in advance. I think the original would be better for youth to read. It did have some good parenting tips. I would like to see a version of this written FOR young adults. Eye-opener Would you consider the audio edition of The Five Love Languages of Teenagers to be better than the print version? Yes.

The Gentle Discipline Book Audiobook by Sarah Ockwell-Smith

Title: The Gentle Discipline Book Subtitle: How to raise co-operative, polite and helpful children Author: Sarah Ockwell-Smith Narrator: Katy Sobey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 03-02-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio UK Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Discipline is a vital part of child-rearing, but many parents misunderstand how to use it and attempt to control their child's behaviour via a combination of punishment and motivation. Yet while this traditional approach may appear to produce quick results, it can potentially damage the child and, in the long term, leave parents with a far worse problem than they had initially. The Gentle Discipline Book analyses common discipline techniques and explains why so many are ineffective. It focuses on helping parents understand why children misbehave and how to respond in a way that will help them work with - rather than against - their child. Gentle discipline focuses on teaching and learning rather than punishing. With plenty of practical advice and case studies from real families, it will enable parents to set boundaries and enforce them with compassion and respect; it also demonstrates how parents can inspire children to be better and do better and how to set a great example for them. Gentle parenting is not about being a pushover - it means understanding children and having realistic expectations of them as well as responding appropriately and consistently. The book covers a range of ages, and the principles it contains work with toddlers, tweens and teenagers equally well - because it helps parents respond to the unique needs of each individual child. As well as providing a framework that will enable parents to become experts in their own child's behaviour, The Gentle Discipline Book provides solutions to common problems such as whining and sulking, aggressive behaviour, refusal to do things, rudeness, sibling rivalry, lying, low self-esteem and a lack of confidence. Members Reviews: THE definitive book for parenting help Brilliantly written by a real human being who has been through all the same struggles all us parents have been, are currently, or will eventually go through. The suggestions and advice found in this book are the best and most sound Ive ever heard anywhere. Ockwell-Smith emphasizes addressing the root causes of your childs behavior in such a way that you need never make them feel bad while still encouraging them to grow into the best person they can be. I wish that all parents could read or listen to this book and put it into practice. We would surely live in a much more pleasant world were that the case. Wow - a MUST read This book may have literally changed my life as a mother. I am a single mum with 2 little girls ages 4 and a half & 6 and a half. They stay with daddy every other weekend. This book has made me understand my eldest daughter so much more! To put myself in her shoes and to really think about what she must be thinking at the time. Thank you!!!! Worth Every Peeny! I have read a few Books on Raising Children and this one definitely seems the Best for Sure.Great practical advice that i needed. Straightforward and very well written! life changing Fantastic book, this has turned my way of thinking completely around. also has helped me immensely as a teacher, although i purchased it as a parent thank you!

Title: 10 Mindful Minutes Subtitle: Giving Our Children the Social and Emotional Skills to Lead Smarter, Healthier, and Happier Lives Author: Goldie Hawn Narrator: Goldie Hawn, Joyce Bean, Daniel J. Siegel Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 133 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Driven by her lifelong interest in the practice of mindfulness and her commitment to the welfare of children everywhere, Goldie Hawn established the Hawn Foundation to support research into developing ways of helping children become healthy and eager learners who can reach their full potential. The program developed by her foundation, MindUP, now used by educators around the world, teaches children how their minds work and how their thoughts and feelings affect their behavior. It gives them the social and emotional tools to help them deal with stress and negative feelings, calm their minds, remain focused, develop compassion and empathy for others - and, ultimately, be happy. As practical as it is inspiring, 10 Mindful Minutes embodies the essence of the incredible success of the MindUP program with its simple techniques like mindful breathing, sensing, and thinking. In easy-to-follow steps, it shows parents and children alike how to focus on feelings of gratitude, kindness, and optimism that will improve interpersonal relationships, increase performance through better concentration, and lead to emotionally healthy and happy lives. Teaching Our Children to Help Themselves Be Happy: Across the country, the revolutionary MindUP program, which was developed under the auspices of the Hawn Foundation, is teaching children vital social and emotional skills, empowering them to manage and reduce their own stress - and helping them be happy. Now, for the first time, its secrets are being shared with all parents and children in 10 Mindful Minutes. Members Reviews: This book is excellent, seriously. I used to laugh at Goldie Hawn but I'm not laughing now. Who knew she was such an intellectual? I've read more books on mindfulness and neuroscience than I can count, very few of them are as good as this one. Thanks Goldie! wonder listen Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I love, love this audible. I have and will continue to recommend this audiobook. The content is wonderful and Goldie Hawn is brilliant in her delivery. My hope would be that we can get this program in to our schools. Thank you Goldie for putting your heart into such a wonderful program. Really good if you are Goldie Hawn All informations were relevant. There are stories from Goldie Hawn's personal life. If you are her fun, it's good. Information given is rather repeat of Daniel Siegel's books. Every parent should read this!!! I didn't know Goldie Hawn was so amazing and uniquely insightful into how to help children! This is really great stuff!!! I have already started using the techniques and advice and my son loves it and it makes me feel great! Breadth but not so much depth If you are looking for an excellent book about teaching children mindfulness I do not recommend this nearly as much as I recommend the mindful child by Susan Kaiser Greenland. I didn't learn much new material in listening to this book by Goldie Hawn. I learned much new and was guided in many ways, on the other hand, by the book The Mindful Child. Without reservation, I would get The Mindful Child instead of this book if you really want tools for teaching children mindfulness as a way of life

Title: Raising Boys Subtitle: How to Raise Balanced and Responsible Sons in Our Cluttered World Through Positive Parenting Author: John S. Roberts Narrator: Sean Posvistak Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: John S. Roberts Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Have you wondered if you're making the right decisions when it comes to raising your son? Over the last years, there has been a lot of confusion about the role of boys and men in our society. It's easy to see why parents are left with lots of unanswered questions when they're raising their sons. Raising boys the right way through positive parenting can help them become responsible and balanced teenagers and adults. Here's some of what you can expect to learn in this audiobook: Would you like to enjoy going through every stage of your sons life without worrying if you're doing the right thing or not? The earlier you manage to give proper guidance, the easier it is for a child to grow into a healthier person. However, there is no such thing as being too late, and even the most damaging of behaviors and habits can be helped. Do not leave anything to chance. Start by guiding your son towards the best possible path towards a healthy and responsible adulthood today! Members Reviews: Great read I really felt like I could understand the book just as well without knowing who was writing the section. The writing flowed so well together that the author notations were unnecessary. Overall, I give this book an A good resource for boy-moms and dads. Great Resource for Parenting Boys The book devotes entire chapters to what a boy will learn from both his mother and his father, which I thought was very interesting. This makes it so clear why it is important for a son to have both a mother and a father in his life. Another chapter discusses the differences between how boys develop and how girls develop. This book discusses how to create a Biblical journey for your son from child to man, and I think it is a great resource for any parent who desires to raise their boys into men of God. The best info on raising boys!! I bought this book because I have two wonderful boys and want as much wisdom as i can get to raise them. This books teaches much on how the world systems has been built to destroy who God intended them to be. It opened my eyes to be more vigilant. I am hopeful that my son's will be all God has intended. Buy this book If traditional values bother you, this isn't the book for you. I thought this book was very insightful and gave many helpful tips to mothers of boys.John S. Roberts is unapologetic with his controversial stances on tough issues and I find that to be a refreshing quality. I like that he doesn't shy away from difficult topics but rather addresses them head on. I will most definitely be recommending this book to others. Excellent overview of the specific issues This is a great book. I read it quickly because it was very interesting until the very end. john S. Roberts n has good old fashioned, biblical moral and standards that I completely agree with. I am only 33 but I see such a decline in today's society in parenting and would recommend this book highly.

The Way of the Wild Heart Audiobook by John Eldredge

Title: The Way of the Wild Heart Subtitle: A Map for the Masculine Journey Author: John Eldredge Narrator: Kelly Ryan Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-21-12 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 159 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: This audiobook, aimed at men, explains how God longs to complete their growth through the six stages of manhood. It also seeks to show God's desire to equip them as fathers to initiate their sons to manhood. Members Reviews: Clarity, Focus, Purpose - Mystery's of Manhood John Eldredge is one man, but he is my kind of man. I don't know if this book will speak to every man or explain every man, but I believe that manhood is in crisis and John does a great job of explaining what we, the brotherhood of all men have lost. I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ (aka Christian) and I don't believe that manhood can be separated from God. In other words, I don't believe a male can be his best and lead, teach, love, protect and serve without first submitting all he is to his Creator. If you don't believe that now, maybe you will after you read this book. In today's world, it seems hard to find real men. Most males are sexually obsessed and dominated by selfish childish desires. Male mentors are difficult to find, but are sorely needed. I believe John explains a path to find manhood. I hope that it is yours, and that you are blessed by reading this book. If you are a woman who longs to understand men, then maybe this will help you too. It is through humility and submission to the King of kings that we arrive at true manhood. Because only in God's Strength can we be hero's and kings and men of honor. Men that God's children and daughters deserve. Men that can change our world. Join me brothers! The battle is raging but we have the victory, and I welcome your aid. You were created for this time. So dare to be fully alive and fully in it. Claim your inheritance in Christ! A great sequel to and expansion of "Wild At Heart" - Highly Recommended! I thoroughly enjoyed this deep exploration of the Masculine Journey and found it refreshing and encouraging. Eldredge carries on the ideas and themes from "Wild At Heart" and expands on them in fantastic and engaging ways. Kelly Ryan's narration is easy to listen to and expresses a comprehension of the subject matter. I would definitely encourage men seeking guidance on their journey to venture into this work and prayerfully consider what it expresses. Though no human work is without flaws, God can use them to speak to our lives as He has used this book in mine. I would highly recommend a familiarity with "Wild At Heart," for which this book serves as an informal sequel. "Wild at Heart" showed me there is more to the Christian life and masculine journey than we have been led to believe. And "The Way of the Wild Heart" gave specific and relatable detail to the ideas and themes of the first book. Can't wait to revisit it and explore more in this series! I thank God for this invaluable resource. Book 9 of 2017 if you haven't read wild at heart you need to read it before you read this book. This is a phenomenal in depth follow up. Where was this book when I was growing up??? What an incredible look into what it is to be a man and how to travel the masculine path. Not filled with passivity but to find the king within. To learn how to be a warrior yet gentle at the same time. Will you choose to give what it takes to make this journey? time to be a man A must for All fathers. Very inspiring to raise boys to be real men.

Just as you are better able to help your child in an airplane emergency if you put your oxygen mask on first, you are better able to blend two families if you take care of the marriage first. Starting with a discussion of attachment styles, the authors explore how those styles translate into the new family unit when trying to forge a new marriage while parenting tween and teen children in a family unit that is new to them as well. They provide parenting guidance premised on the fact that parenting occurs within a context, and in this case a context that is unfamiliar territory for everyone involved. Using true stories throughout, they explore the variety of challenges that may arise, such as sibling rivalry, puberty, dating, emotional and intellectual differences and preferential treatment and offer suggestions for overcoming obstacles to fully blending. By focusing the light on the marriage as the most important source of stability, the authors encourage listeners to develop a style of parenting that works for everyone and brings a sense of unity and strength to the household. Members Reviews: Not impressed Very one size fits all approach. Comes accross as preaching. Not convincing content wise. Would not recommend.

Title: Don't Let Your Kids Kill You Subtitle: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children Author: Charles Rubin Narrator: Tom Zingarelli Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 09-27-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: When kids turn to substance abuse, parents also become victims as they watch their children transform into irrational and antisocial individuals. This harrowing scenario finds parents buckling beneath the stress, often with catastrophic consequences: divorce, career upsets, breakdowns, and worse. Don't Let Your Kids Kill You is a landmark work that dares to focus on the plight of the confused, distressed parent and not the erring child. It sets aside any preconceived ideas that parents are to blame for what is essentially a full-blown global crisis. Drawing on interviews with parents who have survived the heartbreak of kids on drugs, combined with his own experience, Charles Rubin provides practical advice on how parents can help themselves and their families by first attending to their own needs. Critic Reviews: "Offers parents the means to attain a healthy balance in their lives despite their children's choices." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Your kids may not recover, but you can This book starts off stating that its the only book out there that focuses solely at the parents, and not the erring child. I didnt understand that at first, because there are several books out there that offer guidance to family members on how to get their loved ones clean. I was missing the point. This book is NOT about how to get your child clean. The author is realistic about this harrowing fact: your child may never recover. This is devastating, but the point is that whether or not your child gets better, the parents can. The parents can have their life back. My daughter has been addicted to drugs for five years now. She has been to rehab about ten times, she has worked the steps, and she has relapsed over and over. Recently, after a period of sobriety, she told me flat out, I dont want to be sober. This never occurred to me; I always thought she wanted it. My daughter might never get better. But I desperately want to, and this book gives me some ideas about how to get started on my own recovery. It is a quick read, and written by a parent who gets it. I highly recommend it. Unfortunate Truth If you have a child young or old suffering from addiction.You NEED to hear this!!! a struggling mom Excellent book, helped me so much with my addicted daughter situation. I only wish there was a guide when grandchildren are involved but setting that aside I am grateful for you sharing and writing this book!!! The Best Book on Addiction I've Been Through What did you love best about Don't Let Your Kids Kill You? Very useful information! I've been through about 20 books on addiction to help a family member. This, and Love First by Jeff Jay are the most useful/practical! This book doesn't get too much on the nuts and bolts of addiction (there are tons of books for that). Just useful information! What other book might you compare Don't Let Your Kids Kill You to and why? None...although I also highly recommend Love First by Jeff Jay! Also check out the Love First website and go through all the YouTube videos on it! What did you learn from Don't Let Your Kids Kill You that you would use in your daily life? I'm not alone in this problem.

Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow Children Audiobook by Doreen Virtue

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/327/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow Children Subtitle: A Guide to the New Generations of Highly Sensitive Young People Author: Doreen Virtue Narrator: Doreen Virtue Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 07-18-05 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 132 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Since the 1970s, parents and schoolteachers have noticed that children are becoming increasingly more sensitive, aware, and psychic. The first generation of the new children are Indigos, followed in the 1990s by the Crystal Children. Now, the new Rainbow Children are starting to emerge. On this two-CD set, Doreen discusses the characteristics of the Indigos, Crystals, and Rainbows; gives parenting guidance about behavioral issues; and describes their souls' purpose and the beautiful messages they have for all of us. (P)2005 Hay House Inc. Members Reviews: Great for those beginning research I thought this audio was wonderfully informational. I do not know much about these children but suspect I have one, and this is a great basic explanation of the Indigo and Crystal Children. Dr. Virtue did not really discuss rainbow children as I recall. Worth the money. Not an audiobook: a lecture with guided meditation If you could sum up Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow Children in three words, what would they be? Short Peaceful Visionary Would you be willing to try another book from Doreen Virtue? Why or why not? Probably. I enjoy her voice and spirit, but I feel that Hay House books works are often poorly edited. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. It's extremely short. Any additional comments? This isn't an audio version of the book but seems to be an excerpt of a lecture or workshop. There are audible noises such as laughter, and there's a guided meditation with music. This is far too short a work for the price. It also leaves the listener without much more information than when the lecture began. It's mostly devoted to Indigo, with little time for Crystal and even less for Rainbow, but it doesn't do an adequate job of fully developing even the Indigo concept. Thankfully, compared to recent works from Doreen, she's calm and relatively happy. Indigo Children A wonderful book to learn the basics of an indigo child. Kept me interested through the reading and to go for other books on the subject. An interesting concept Well written and narrated. I found this to be a good introduction to the subject of indigo, crystal, and rainbow children. But it is rather short and you'll want to do some more investigation afterwards. Fascinating listen for any parent! Doreen is such a wise soul with the capacity to teach and heal others just by speaking. I have a sometimes difficult yet incredibly special 4 year-old daughter. Recommendations to read Doreen's book "The care and feeding of indigo children" have abounded, so I started here, electing this item as one of my two free credits during my trial subscription. I am inspired by all that I learned. Optimistic about the future of our planet, and eager to take the lessons I learned and apply them in real life. Thank you, Doreen!

Johanson MD, Michael W. Anderson LP Narrator: Don Shelby, Laurie Flanigan Hegge Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: Big Swan Studio Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Gist is a powerful book that reviews and examines what the journey to adulthood entails, along with a clear look at those parenting efforts that have proven not to work over the years. ''Many hours and much emotional energy are spent in parenting strategies where nothing positive is produced.'' Gist is a fascinating look at many aspects of life that wouldn't typically be associated with parenting. But the result is a new way to think about parenting that is effective, efficient, and enjoyable. The audiobook's focus on life-readiness offers parents a new lens through which to see their parenting interactions and translates to an approach that eliminates many of the power struggles and ineffective patterns that can rob families of much of their joy. Members Reviews: The chapter on self esteem made the book entirely worth the read The chapter on self esteem was an eye opener and very practical. The review of positive affirmation as important yet only a piece of self esteem made total sense. Additionally, the emphasis that self esteem stems from accurate self assessment translates beautifully to what I encounter today with my kids and people from work. I would recommend this to all who feel they need to bring ... Very helpful resource for my wife and I as we train up a tween age child transitioning to teenager. Reminds me of what to focus upon as we deal with everyday life issues and to look for moments to teach "life ready" lessons and skills when the opportunity presents itself. I have read the book and now am listening to the audio to glean more wisdom. I would recommend this to all who feel they need to bring their "A" game to their parenting efforts today. Very useful insight This book really helped me understand my kids better, but more importantly, myself and my parenting mistakes. I can't wait to put the advice I gained into practice! Great advice A child misbehaves because it works. An adult does too. This book is so full of practical wisdom. You will not be disappointed even if you are not a parent. Good advice for all relationships and superior advice for raising kids. Great book I enjoyed and for the most part agreed with the authors perspective. I'm glad I spent the time to read this book to gain information and simplicity in parenting that I most likely would not have learned on my own. As a parent of young children (3 under 5yo), I'm glad I have a reference for parenting that is simple and easy to understand.

Title: Raising Your Spirited Child Author: Mary Sheedy Kurcinka Narrator: Mary Sheedy Kurckina Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-05 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 241 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Filled with personal insight and authoritative advice, Raising Your Spirited Child can help make parenting the joy it should be, rather than the trial it can be. Critic Reviews: "This book is a major work on temperament and parenting that should be in every family library." (Nancy Melvin, associate dean for graduate programs and research, Arizona State University College of Nursing) Members Reviews: Would love to hear the unabridged Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes - Anyone who has a kid that is labelled as troublesome, or too high energy. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? No, because it's to help me raise my kids, if I was going to change the story I wouldn't be looking for help would I? What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator is the author reading her own work and does an ok job, considering that many authors who read their own books butcher it. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Um I'm not going to answer that... There should be two types of review profiles, one for novels and another for self help. Any additional comments? WHERE IS THE UNABRIDGED. This book is outstanding, the whole book (which I have skimmed through and found very helpful. However this abridged version skips over many of the key points that need further emphasis. In fact I think onnly about 20% of the original is retained. I would return this and pay more for the unabridged if it ever comes out. Refreshing Perspective The audiobook left me feeling like I wanted her to tell me more...impart a bit more motherly wisdom on me, but alas, I suppose I have to go this road on my own as a parent. I am not normally one to read parent help books - they usually give me negative feelings in some way or another. This one was different. It spoke of ways to look at my child, and help him in his brilliance! One piece of info I found to be VERY helpful was how to allow your introvert/extrovert to 'recharge' and how the parents & teachers can help him do this. Great book. Overall Insightful and Useful Fairly insightful. Unfortunately when I purchased this audiobook I didn't realize it was abridged. Good concepts but could use some more fleshing out. Also a bit cheesy... Good overall ideas that I have already started using when thinking about and interacting with my own "spirited" child. Best parenting book EVER! Absolutely wonderful very informative, and very useful information. The information is easy to use and understand. Not a bunch of tiny tips. Overall concept is clear and easy to implement. This book also helps people understand themselves. This book helps us see what is going on in our childrenand why they do the things they do. Therefore it is much easier to get them to do what we need them to do without a fight. This book would help us all live in harmony. Absolutely loved this book! I bought this book to help me understand my five-year-old. Surprisingly, I was able to understand my husband and other children!

(Peter De Vries) Parenting teenagers can be hard. Maybe you already know that. The question is, does adolescence really need to be a frustrating time for parents and teenagers? If your child isn't a teenager yet, can you make preparations now to avoid many of the pitfalls parents of adolescents go through? With so much information and differing viewpoints, how can a parent really know that they are "doing it right"? In Feeding the Mouth That Bites You, Dr. Ken Wilgus outlines a clear and practical path through the confusion of parenting adolescents in today's world. Engaging, accessible, and funny, Feeding the Mouth That Bites You summarizes Dr. Wilgus's best teachings on how to parent teenagers, collected over 25 years of work with adolescents and their families as well as two decades of teaching on parenting.

Feeding the Mouth That Bites You explains this need and the effect it has on a wide range of teenage behavior. Dr. Wilgus clearly outlines his method for safely and effectively meeting this need: Planned Emancipation.

Thomas Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 01-11-10 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 86 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Parenting is a school for spiritual formationand our children are our teachers. The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children will profoundly alter us forever. Sacred Parenting is unlike any other parenting book you have ever read. This is not a how-to book that teaches you ways to discipline your kids or help them achieve their full potential. Instead of discussing how parents can change their kids, Sacred Parenting turns the tables and demonstrates how God uses our kids to change us. Youve read all the method books. Now take a step back and receive some much-needed inspiration. Youll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parentand how their children transformed their relationship with God. Sacred Parenting affirms the spiritual value of being a parent, showing you the holy potential of the parent-child relationship. Members Reviews: good parenting book Has good values and principles. I recommend it to all parents, who just began this journey or going for quite a bit )))) This book makes us think about some good points. And challenges to be a better, God - centered parent. Super valuable As a parent who recognizes the challenge of parenting but isn't overwhelmed by it, I wasn't sure how much I'd get from this book, but my wife wanted to share this with me, and I'm so glad she's did. I especially value the emphasis on our responsibility, first and foremost, to introduce our children to God and how to use almost everything, every day, to accomplish that goal. This is a masterful book. Amazing book!! My son's grandmother got it for me when I became a new mum, I didn't get time to read obviously, so I got the audio book. I'm glad it was the first parenting book I read (listened to) Gary Thomas has provided some insights I would have never thought of. This book has framed my way of entering into the world of parenting with realistic expectations, confidence in God's providence for myself and my family, spitually and otherwise. A must Read I love when the author reads their own book because you get the passion. Every parent should read this book, Enlightening and so to the point. Great book! Great perspectives! I loved the reality of parenting described in this book and Loved the connections to what God says in His Word and the views expressed by the author! Highly recommend it especially if you love the Truth and parenting!

Some fear monsters under the bed. But 10 percent of children have excessive fears and worries - phobias, separation anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder - that can hold them back and keep them from fully enjoying childhood.

You'll learn how to help your child overcome intense fears and worries and find out how to relieve anxious feelings while parenting with compassion. Members Reviews: Repetitive but great strategies The title doesn't imply this but it's half about teaching kids social skills - super helpful!!!! Excellent Very informative and enjoyable book with some very helpful tips throughout to help with anxiety management excellent for making anxiety management easy. A great book for helping your child to manage their anxiety. it's practical, clear, easy to follow. One of the best I've seen. It comes with links to online worksheets. Helpful Where does Helping Your Anxious Child rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I got a lot out of this book and could see a lot of links to what we are going through. Time will tell if the work book and techniques are helpful. The PDF link in audible was not worth it as it's just a certificate. You do need to go to another site to download the free workbook that goes with it. The only retraction is the constant "his or her" when referring to your child. I would relate no matter the gender and you could always use gender neutral terms. At times I lost the message due to the number of times this term was said in a sentence.

And what if my kid just doesn't feel like sharing?). In this inspiring and enlightening book, Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down "the rules" to raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids. Drawing on her own experiences as the mother of two small children, as well as on the work of child psychologists, pediatricians, educators and so on, in this book Shumaker gets to the heart of the matter on a host of important questions. Members Reviews: knowledge is power when dealing with a non articulate screaming toddler it's hard to know what to do. it's hard to understand what they're thinking how they're developing we are all not all child psychologist and yet we have children. I love this book for its ideas on how to help Kids. On letting go of filling their lives with activities and learning or else they'll be left behind thoughts. it helps you find places where you can be loose and where you need to tighten up that will best help your kids. the author openly admits that this isn't the perfect set of rules but a good guidelines to start with. Just take what you want and leave the rest. Technical Issue in Chapter 18, from 18:15 to 19:07 This is an incredible resource for solutions and application for working with and raising your children. A must read for all parents. every parent needs this book the narration is spot on. A very enjoyable listen with immensely important information to benefit any caring parent.

Parents have a deep desire to pass on their faith, but fear that today's increasingly skeptical and hostile world will eventually lead their kids to reject the truth of Christianity. That leaves many parents feeling overwhelmed - uncertain of what they can do to help their children, given the difficulty and extent of the faith challenges they will face. This practical and timely resource gives parents the confidence of knowing what to discuss with their children and how to discuss it in order to facilitate impactful conversations that will form the basis of a lifelong faith. In a friendly, parent-to-parent voice, Natasha Crain identifies 30 specific conversations about God that parents must have with their children, organizing them under the categories of Chapters are sequenced in a curriculum-oriented way to provide a cumulative learning experience, making this book a flexible resource for use in multiple settings: homes, church classes, youth groups, small groups, private Christian schools, and homeschools. Every chapter has a step-by-step conversation guide with discussion questions and tips, and content is readily adaptable for use with kids of any age (elementary through high school). Members Reviews: Just the right amount of apologetics I am fairly new to apologetic books and have read through a couple already. Natasha goes over quite a bit but doesn't completely overwhelm you in this book. If you are new or a long time Christian, there's no better way to start reading on how to defend your faith and God then to start with this book. What a great way to introduce these topics to your children! You can go deeper by reading other apologetic books on Christ by Strobel, Warner and Habermas/Licoma or On God by McDowell (Evidence That Demands a Verdict). I wanted to read through this book first and now I'll re-read on either a daily/weekly basis to get my children involved in these topics. Great job to Natasha and thank you for writing this book!

After more than 38 years of working with more than 2,500 teens, Mark Gregston, founder of Heartlight, a Christian residential counseling center, introduces Tough Guys and Drama Queens - a must-listen "how-to" book for parents of preteens and teens with time-tested, biblical techniques to guide you through these unavoidably challenging years. Mark helps parents realize that some natural parenting approaches are actually counterproductive and therefore totally ineffective. In place of those he offers tried-and-true wisdom on the vital importance of relationship, forgiveness, and explains how conflict is actually the precursor to change. Every day your child is bombarded by a highly sexualized culture and overexposed to words and images that can influence them beyond your reach. Your connection to them during these years is critical as is your response to tough issues such as: Complete with bonus insights, questions to engage your child, and instruction for teachers, counselors, pastors, and other family members, Tough Guys and Drama Queens offers proactive tools to prepare you for the incredible teen years ahead. Members Reviews: I'm sure Mark scored a lot of points with his kids Before reading the book, I was aware parents are at fault for a lot of troubles brought on by teens. However, I had no idea Mark would spend over 95 percent of the time bashing parents while giving too few ideas about what to do in tough situations. I have a rebel tween for a grandson by marriage (step), and wished to know how to handle some tough situations. Instinct told me to try to build a relationship, but I need more direction. I'm almost as confused as I was before reading the book. Some sound teachings and great approaches Great book. Needs technology updates. Ex.. Snapchat vs texting, Twitter vs facebook, tumblr vs chat rooms

Texting while driving. Binge drinking. Bullying. Unprotected sex. There are plenty of reasons for parents to worry about getting a late-night call about their teen. But most of the advice parents and educators hear about teens is outdated and unscientific - and simply doesn't work. Acclaimed adolescent psychiatrist and educator Jess Shatkin brings more than two decades' worth of research and clinical experience to the subject, along with cutting-edge findings from brain science, evolutionary psychology, game theory, and other disciplines - plus a widely curious mind and the perspective of a concerned dad himself. Using science and stories, fresh analogies, clinical anecdotes, and research-based observations, Shatkin explains: Members Reviews: A must read for all parents! Excellent information and delivery was superb. I highly recommend this for every parent! Great book. A Must Have for Parents, Teachers, Counselors!!! Dr. Jess Shatkin has achieved something rare in the writing of this book, a balance between sharing academic and applied research and making it useable and accessible to all readers. This book has the potential to be a game changer for entire communities, if they are willing to do the work, ask the hard questions, and challenge the status quo. Dr. Shatkin's willingness to share authentically about his own experiences as a teen, parent and helping professional, draw the reader in, make poignant examples, and provide a relatability that shares truth, both about teen perspectives and those concerns we have as adults. I would put this book on the must read list for schools, health agencies, parenting groups, and civic leaders. This will be a game changer, and it takes something to digest the truth, and then go to work on making the world a better and safer place for our children and teens. Get it, read it, and then get to work making meaningful changes, for our kids and teens can't wait, because their future is NOW!!!

What's Going on in There? Audiobook by Lise Eliot

Subtitle: How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life Author: Lise Eliot Narrator: Cris Dukehart Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 55 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life's work. But it wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child that she became intrigued with the study of brain development. She wanted to know precisely how the baby's brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed. And most importantly, she was interested in finding out how her role as a nurturer can affect this complex process. How much of her baby's development is genetically ordained-and how much is determined by environment? Is there anything parents can do to make their babies' brains work better-to help them become smarter, happier people? Drawing upon the exploding research in this field as well as the stories of real children, What's Going On in There? is a lively and thought-provoking book that charts the brain's development from conception through the critical first five years. In examining the many factors that play crucial roles in that process, What's Going On in There? explores the evolution of the senses, motor skills, social and emotional behaviors, and mental functions such as attention, language, memory, reasoning, and intelligence. This remarkable book also discusses: how a baby's brain is "assembled" from scratchthe critical prenatal factors that shape brain development how the birthing process itself affects the brain which forms of stimulation are most effective at promoting cognitive development how boys' and girls' brains develop differently how nutrition, stress, and other physical and social factors can permanently affect a child's brain Brilliantly blending cutting-edge science with a mother's wisdom and insight, What's Going On in There? is an invaluable contribution to the nature versus nurture debate. Children's development is determined both by the genes they are born with and the richness of their early environment. This timely and important book shows parents the innumerable ways in which they can actually help their children grow better brains. Critic Reviews: "With impressive depth and clarity, Eliot... offers a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge about infant and early childhood brain development.... Popular science at its best." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Not an easy read, but an important one I read this book again last week. What's Going on in There is full of information, much more than Brain Rules for Babies (which is also a great book, but many tips are just Cntl C + Cntl V from this one). Of course Brain Rules for Babies is more palatable, fun and sleek, but What's Going on in There is so rich, that it deserves another realm. If you have a children, or is planning to have one, read both of them. More interested in scaring moms than helping I wasn't impressed. After a couple hours I realized about half of what I was hearing was handled in such a way that it made me more nervous than actually providing good info. She tends to linger on more stressful topics even while pointing out that some of the studies she mentions have faulty biases. Since it's an audio book, I don't have access to any bibliography to help me make sense of where she's coming from.

Members Reviews: A Real Blessing Excellent message of hope and vital information for every parent and child. i love the knowledge that I can bless my child, strengthen them and encourage them. i appreciate the practical instruction in how to do it. This is an important message that needs to be learned, shared, and carried out. I withheld one star because of the decision theology included in the book: making the power and grace of God dependant on a work of a human being, something that is neither taught nor demonstrated anywhere in the Bible. The message of the blessing, however, is phenomenal and I highly recommend the book. Good basic principles but nothing earth shattering This book was an okay read, but I felt like I could have gotten the same information out of a short article. The author used lots of storytelling and reciting of scripture to enforce the elements of the blessing, that to me didn't add much. I was hoping to learn something from the book, but honestly don't feel like I took anything new away from it. LIFE CHANGING!!!! VERY PRACTICAL As a father of four, I believe that this book has given me a lot of insights to be a blessing for my family. The presentation couldn't be better. I am so glad that I got this book. A Wonderful book I Loved the story of the 2 brothers & how 1 brother gave away his Blessing for food. Unfortunately, that rival continued for many generations, even until this day! This book is a GREAT way to raise your children. Encouragement for parents The Blessing is an encouragement to parents (and anyone who loves another person) to speak life to their children. The authors lay out specific guidelines to help parents craft a meaningful blessing their child will treasure for a lifetime. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

My daughter is four years old and probably the first half of the book is for my present. The second half is for my future, it's to prepare which I wish I've read this book a long time ago. Not only this book is unbelievably good, I reached out to the author for my own personal questions and she answered me with no hesitation whatsoever. She took the trout off her busy schedule to answer one of his readers. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I even bought two extra copies, one for the other parent and one to the judge in charge of our child custody.

Sticks and Stones Audiobook by Emily Bazelon

Title: Sticks and Stones Subtitle: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy Author: Emily Bazelon Narrator: Rebecca Lowman Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 02-19-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Being a teenager has never been easy, but in recent years, with the rise of the Internet and social media, it has become exponentially more challenging. Bullying, once thought of as the province of queen bees and goons, has taken on new, complex, and insidious forms, as parents and educators know all too well. No author is better poised to explore this territory than Emily Bazelon, who has established herself as a leading voice on the social and legal aspects of teenage drama. In Sticks and Stones, she brings listeners on a deeply researched, clear-eyed journey into the ever-shifting landscape of teenage meanness and its sometimes devastating consequences. The result is an indispensable book that takes us from school cafeterias to courtrooms to the offices of Facebook - the website where so much teenage life, good and bad, now unfolds. Along the way, Bazelon defines what bullying is and, just as important, what it is not. She explores when intervention is essential and when kids should be given the freedom to fend for themselves. She also dispels persistent myths: that girls bully more than boys, that online and in-person bullying are entirely distinct, that bullying is a common cause of suicide, and that harsh criminal penalties are an effective deterrent. Above all, she believes that to deal with the problem, we must first understand it. Blending keen journalistic and narrative skills, Bazelon explores different facets of bullying through the stories of three young people who found themselves caught in the thick of it. Thirteen-year-old Monique endured months of harassment and exclusion before her mother finally pulled her out of school. Jacob was threatened and physically attacked over his sexuality in eighth grade - and then sued to protect himself and change the culture of his school. Flannery was one of six teens who faced criminal charges after a fellow students suicide was blamed on bullying and made international headlines. With grace and authority, Bazelon chronicles how these kids predicaments escalated, to no ones benefit, into community-wide wars. Cutting through the noise, misinformation, and sensationalism, she takes us into schools that have succeeded in reducing bullying and examines their successful strategies. The result is a groundbreaking book that will help parents, educators, and teens themselves better understand what kids are going through today and what can be done to help them through it. Critic Reviews: Thoughtful and moving, incisive and provocative, Sticks and Stones is essential reading for any educator trying to negotiate the minefield of bullying. Packed with valuable advice, the book brings a welcome dose of sanity to an often overheated national discussion.(Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed) Beautifully written and tenaciously reported, Sticks and Stones is a serious, important book that reads like a page-turner. Emily Bazelon is a gifted writer, and this powerful work is sure to place childhood bullying at the heart of the national conversation - right where it belongs. (Susan Cain, author of Quiet) Emily Bazelon is doing the most honest, hard-hitting investigative work on bullying in America today. Sticks and Stones is a page-turner, combining compelling personal stories, rigorous reporting and practical advice for parents and educators. Read it: Its essential.

The Nurture Assumption Audiobook by Judith Rich Harris

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/327/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Nurture Assumption Author: Judith Rich Harris Narrator: Paula Parker Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 03-02-00 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 81 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The Nurture Assumption challenges everything we've been taught about rearing children and everything we believe about the emotional hangups of adults. It offers wise counsel on what parents can and cannot do, and relief from guilt for those who have tried their hardest but have somehow failed to produce a happy, confident, well-adjusted child. Members Reviews: Excellent book... on print. 'The nurture assumption' is a fantastic book on which many reviews have been written elsewhere on the web. I own the book both in its paperback and its audible version. I was disappointed by the audio quality (very compressed 12.5 MB for 3h30 of audio) and by the fact that large sections of the book are not covered in the audio version. Egregiously oversimplified and horribly narrated I wanted to listen to this book because it was referred to in Freakonomics (Levitt and Dubner 2005). I find the idea that peer groups have a very strong influence on enculturation throughout childhood interesting and I wanted to understand the idea in greater detail. But I was very disappointed. Harris essentially argues that parents and biology don't matter AT ALL and who we turn out to be is based ENTIRELY on peer group influence. This CAN'T be what she means to say. Perhaps the fact that this audio version is abridged is an extenuating factor. I actually buy her argument that researchers have been ignoring the important influence of peer groups and they matter more than we think, but to completely discount the affects of biology and family is silly. She uses an example of a U.S. child whose parents are Russian immigrants and points out that the child grows up to speak perfect English because that's the language of his peers. But she completely ignores the obvious observation that - in fact - the child ALSO speaks Russian because of his parents. Furthermore, I am an anthropologist, and I was frankly stunned by her ridiculously oversimplified caricature of your average child in your average traditional society. She goes so far as to say these kids (they're all the same) don't fight much because they have no toys to fight over. Her lack of understanding of basic anthropology in the context of her research is unforgivable to me. The death knell of this audiobook for me was the narrator. She reminds me of a syrupy singer in a cheap production of children's music. In summary - who we turn out to be is a complicated mix of factors, not this ridiculously oversimplified monocausal scenario. Read the subheading on the book "parents matter less than you think and peers matter more" - that's probably right, but don't torture yourself listening to this book because it's not going to add any insight beyond this subheading. Unabridged version? This audio book is an abridged version of the book.

Members Reviews: but it is a good start when having to work through these situations with ... It's an older book, but is still very informative. Over the past 10 years, we have used it many times while working through custody issues with my stepdaughter. It offers many suggestions and ways to help your child have two homes, and what you can do to help your child through the changes and make it easiest for the child. It may not answer every question you have, but it is a good start when having to work through these situations with your children. Perfect book to help me communicate with my child in a more effective way with the child's interest first. Although I haven't finished the book, it's given me a new perspective on language to incorporate when talking with my child. I was looking for something to help me communicate more effectively so that transition through divorce could be as easier when dealing with 2 homes. So far, I really like what this book has to offer. We as parents sometimes know what we want to say but don't use the best verbage. This is so helpful to anyone struggling in this kind of situation. They have given this book good reviews for helping with the process of learning how ... I'm a therapist who works with parents who are separated and/or divorcing/divorced. They have given this book good reviews for helping with the process of learning how to create two households and helping the children through one of life's most painful losses. It also addresses dealing with the grieving process for the parents and how to deal with a less than amicable divorcing process. Terrific book! Bought the audio version too Terrific book! Bought the audio version too. Was recommended by a friend for my son who is going through a divorce and having some challenges with his daughter's Mother. Should be mandatory reading prior to divorce Should be mandatory reading for anyone choosing to break the family up. Very important to think things out for the child, the innocent children. I'm glad that as a society we are now embracing that both a Mother and a Father can love their child and that a child should have a right to be family with both.

Save our boys Now more than ever w all the sexual misconduct allegations we need to focus on boys and the role males play in the raising of boys to be well balanced men.

Great book but it leaves you with so many questions I felt like I didn't come away with a good sense of how to implement what the author was saying. The author is the narrator and he did a wonderful job. This has completely sparked my interest and I will be continuing on with his other books!

Your sweet child has morphed into a teen. And it's no longer just a messy bedroom or an attitude with a capital "A" causing concern. There's a whole new range of issues on the horizon. What if your daughter texts a naked picture to a "boyfriend" ...which he then forwards to the entire class? What if your son becomes increasingly withdrawn...Or your child is being bullied online? Would you know what to do? You could read a whole book on teen psychology - but who has the time! As a parent, what you need most is quick and candid advice for dealing with the issue at hand. After all, if you say the right thing you will open up the lines of communication, but say the wrong thing ...and watch out. A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens is the solution. Covering a broad range of issues from the terrifying (sex, drinking, drugs, depression) to the frustrating (defiance, laziness, conformity, entitlement), parenting expert Joani Geltman approaches each of the 80 topics with honesty and a dash of humor. Want to understand why teens do what they do? Joani reveals what they are thinking and feeling - and what developmental factors are involved. She then explains how to approach each problem in a way that lets your kid know you "get it" and leads to truly productive conversations. From lying to sexting to falling grades, the teenage years can be an uphill battle. Here is the no-nonsense guide you need to get your teen talking, listening, and back on track.

Now that I have listened to the entire book, I'm going to go back and re-listen to each chapter one by one, and have the talks specifically as they are suggested. My teen has responded positively to me when I have used Joani's techniques. I will be recommending this book to everyone! Great book for things you haven't realized, yet... Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would certainly recommend this book to parents. The scenarios presented are real and dealt with in a great way; disarming the teen, defusing the situation, and making it possible to actually communicate with the aliens living in your kids body. If you've listened to or read other parenting books, some of this will be familiar. There are a lot of stories to share with your kids to start discussions and point out errors in judgement that others have made, and the consequences from those actions. I loved this book and will refer back to it until our alien becomes a human again! ;) Any additional comments? P.S. The narrator was great. amazing I was amazed how helpful this book was I am going to reread this again there was so much helpful information in it there's no way to absorb it all in just one sitting Must have for every parents Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend?

Kennedy, Rebecca S. Banks, Temple Grandin Narrator: Vanessa Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 08-07-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 102 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The future of our society depends on our gifted children - the population in which well find our next Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, or Virginia Woolf. Yet the gifts and talents of some of our most brilliant kids may never be recognized because these children fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or "2e". Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability - often ADHD or an Autism Spectrum Disorder - leading teachers and parents to overlook the childs talents and focus solely on his weaknesses. Too often, these children get lost in an endless cycle of chasing diagnostic labels and are never given the tools to fully realize their own potential. Bright Not Broken sheds new light on this vibrant population by identifying who twice exceptional children are and taking an unflinching look at why theyre stuck. The first work to boldly examine the widespread misdiagnosis and controversies that arise from our current diagnostic system, it serves as a wake-up call for parents and professionals to question why our mental health and education systems are failing our brightest children. Most importantly, the authors show what we can do to help 2e children, providing a whole child model for parents and educators to strengthen and develop a childs innate gifts while also intervening to support the deficits. Drawing on painstaking research and personal experience, Bright Not Broken offers groundbreaking insight and practical strategies to those seeking to help 2e kids achieve their full potential. Diane M. Kennedy, author of The ADHD-Autism Connection, is a long time advocate, international speaker/trainer, and mother of three twice-exceptional sons. Rebecca S. Banks, M.A., co-author of The ADHD-Autism Connection, is a veteran educator, national speaker/trainer, and mother of two twice-exceptional children. Temple Grandin, PhD, is a professor, prolific author, and one of the most accomplished and renowned adults with autism in the world. Members Reviews: Enlightening, well-written, much appreciated Would you listen to Bright Not Broken again? Why? Yes - I sent a sent a gift copy to my brother so he could listen, too. What does Vanessa Hart bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Actually, I wouldn't have chosen her for this book. She has a very sultry and melodic voice -like a saxophone.It didn't match well , in my mind, to the topic. She did a beautiful job presenting the information - did not sound like a robot *reading* something, she *presented* it.I would love to hear her read a less fact-centric book like a fiction, or a biography. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments? This would be a great book for every teacher; even teachers of adults. (People seem to forget that gifted kids, and kids with learning differences, AND 2E kids who are both gifted add have learning differences all grow up and many go on to college and/or to have reltaionships and families.)This would also be great for parents / guardians / spouces who have trouble envisioning what is going on in theri loved one's mind.

Through this collection of heartfelt true stories about family ties, helping neighbors, and lasting friendships, children will see how other kids their age have learned valuable lessons from the choices they've made - and most of all, they will realize that they are not alone in dealing with some of the difficult issues in their lives; such as the loss of a loved one, accepting and respecting others, taking responsibility for their actions, coping with fitting in, or learning to make friends.

This value-based collection of empowering stories, confidently narrated with down-to-earth clarity by Leslie Bellair, will guide young children through the everyday obstacles and social challenges that come with growing up. Members Reviews: My kids love these I take a lot of road trips with my four kids (1-9 yrs) and they really enjoyed these stories. The narrator was really hard to swallow though and I hate to criticize, but she had a very self-righteous tone to her voice and sounded annoyed or snotty a lot of the time--not how I believe the children would have read it who told the stories. Kids still loved the stories though! Life lessons wrapped in deep enjoyment Any additional comments? For thousands of years stories have been the vehicle for knowledge, values, beliefs and facts from one generation to another. Human brains are primed to learn through stories, anecdotal evidence that engages emotionally, that paints a vivid picture, that makes us identify with the challenges. It's imaginary role-play; dealing with situations in your mind before being confronted with difficult dilemmas in real life. Our 5-year-old loves these. She listens intently. Days, weeks or months afterwards she will bring up an example from one of these stories as a comment to something that happens. With fewer and fewer of us having multi-generational villages with elders having the time and patience to tell important stories to all of our children, these are a beautiful and crucial addition to priming our kids to ethically reflective beings. Great bedtime stories for kids! My 7 year old absolutely loves the stories and I foyer hear him referencing them during the day.

Title: The Good Dad Subtitle: Becoming the Father You Were Meant to Be Author: Jim Daly Narrator: Jim Daly Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 04-22-14 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: It's never too late to be a better father. Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood - in part because his own "fathers" failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim's life by the time he turned 13. Isn't it odd - and reminiscent of the hand of God - that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up? Or could it be that successful parenting is discovered not in the perfect, peaceful household but in the midst of battles and messy situations, where God must constantly be called to the scene? That is the mystery unraveled in this audiobook. Using his own expertise, humor, and inexhaustible wealth of stories, Jim will show you that God can make you a good dad, a great dad, in spite of the way you've grown up and in spite of the mistakes you've made. Maybe even because of them. It's not about becoming a perfect father. It's about trying to become a better father, each and every day. It's about building relationships with your children through love, grace, patience, and fun - and helping them grow into the men and women they're meant to be. Members Reviews: great read for new or old parents. loved it. provided me with some insight that I will definitely use with my kids. Great for Moms AND Dads Exceeded my expectations. Jim Daly is so wise and insightful and such an encouragement to parents and people in general. He does a phenomenal job reading. The Best Dad... I can be. I reflect on my parenting often. I make so many mistakes in so many moments. Listening to this book was one more in my effort to be better. I appreciate the way in which Daly uses his own experiences and some of others to connect to the lessons being broached in each chapter. The author is also extremely humble in his approach. Thank you for another great tool toward my goal of being the best dad fory kiddos. I will definitely listen again in a couple years as we continue to grow and change together. They're 4 and 6, so I know I'll need to come back. Religion Based Parenting Great book for those who choose to use religion as a basis for parenting. Was hoping for more of a lessons learned and best practices for child rearing without the religious overtones. Excellent across the board. What a wonderful story of the grace of God in a man's life and those around that man. Very useful indeed to a new father myself. I'm sure to listen to it many times over the years

Title: What a Difference a Mom Makes Subtitle: The Indelible Imprint a Mom Leaves on Her Son's Life Author: Kevin Leman Narrator: Dean Gallagher Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-12 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Boys will be boys - always. And no one has a more powerful impact on them than you, Mom. Surprise! Your boy wants to please you, and he cares deeply about what you think. Those driving needs will stay with him throughout his lifetime. That gives you, Mom, a lot of influence over your son. You can set him up for success in life. In What a Difference a Mom Makes, the New York Times best-selling author Dr. Kevin Leman reveals how you can make a positive imprint on your son - from the moment you first hold him in your arms until the moment he leaves for college. And the best news? It's never too late to start, no matter what age your son is now. Through Dr. Leman's expert advice, you'll understand who your son is on the inside, the truth behind sibling squabbles (and how to handle them), a secret for discipline that works every time, and how to navigate the critical teen years. You'll also discover how your parenting style impacts your relationship with your son and how you can respond in a healthy way to his growing interest in sex and relationships. Want to capture your boy's heart? Want a man you'll be proud to call your son? You can make a difference, because you are the one who matters most in your boy's world. Even if he won't admit it. Members Reviews: You mater I haven't applied all that I have learned because coming from a broken home is not easy to just flip the switch and be wise, sweet and firm all at the same time...however, not only do I understand what it all means because I have been on the other side of the story and I've seen the fruits of it in people like my husband and my brother...this book is one of my favorites from Dr. Leman! I appreciate it very much because now I understand I matter and my boys have a greater chance at being human which is what really matters to me! Disappointing Any additional comments? Filled with stereotypes. I found myself feeling uncomfortable with the author's assertions, in particular about the character of young boys and how to deal with it. At one point I was listening to the book while working in the kitchen. My husband walked in and said, "What the heck are you listening to?" He also did not agree. So, overall, too many stereotypes that may be unhelpful (and even hurtful) to assist parents in dealing with the complexities and nuances of today's generation. Great book! Another great book by Kevin Leman. It was read well but hard to listen to because I have listened to Kevin talk several times and kept wanting to hear him say it. good book it was a good book , some of it was repeated from other books that he has written.... Read, Keep, Reread, soak In- So much good stuff! I'm a Mom of 2 boys, I loved this book. so much good stuff, I even had my hubby listen and shared with my friends- a must for anyone training (raising) Boys these days.

Title: The Happiest Kids in the World Subtitle: How Dutch Parents Help Their Kids (and Themselves) by Doing Less Author: Michele Hutchison, Rina Mae Acosta Narrator: Karen White, Henrietta Meire Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The secret to raising the happiest kids in the world? Whatever it is, it's somewhere in the Netherlands. Would parents rather their children be successful or happy? Kids in the US face lots of pressure to excel - often at the expense of happiness. But does it have to be this way? Not in the Netherlands! In The Happiest Kids in the World, expats Rina Mae Acosta and Michele Hutchison - both married to Dutchmen and bringing up their kids in the Netherlands - examine the unique environment that enables the Dutch to turn out such well-adjusted, independent children. With heaps of good humor, and no shortage of amazement, the authors are delighted to find that babies get an average of 15 hours of sleep per day, children learn bike safety and proficiency in school, teenagers are less likely to get pregnant than their counterparts in almost every other nation, and parents really do serve chocolate sprinkles for breakfast! Along the way, they discover that the most commonly strived-for grade is just passing (6 points out of 10), how to achieve the perfect work-life balance, and that being normal is crazy enough. Members Reviews: Could be more practical Well I think I have higher expectation on it. Feels like the book mainly focus on the overall system in the Netherlands instead of parenting stuff, before this I have already finished the danish way of parenting. Some content are overlap and I was say if youre looking for some practical parenting instructions I would recommend the Danish way of parenting wonderful parenting book I can't even begin to describe how refreshing this book is for modern day parenting. Helps to put into perspective life with kids in the Netherlands and how everyday challenges are met. It is inspiring to hear that there is a way to raise your kids without the noise and competitiveness commonly seen in U.S. It certainly reminded me of my upbringing and the level of independence I had. Definitely a must read for its perspective, insight and humor. The happiest kids in the world This book is a great introduction to the Dutch culture. It made me want to travel there. I can use a lot of what was talked about in the book in my classroom with my students. I highly recommend it.

The Gatekeepers Audiobook by Jacques Steinberg

Title: The Gatekeepers Subtitle: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College Author: Jacques Steinberg Narrator: Jacques Steinberg Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 05-14-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In the fall of 1999, New York Times education reporter Jacques Steinberg was given an unprecedented opportunity to observe the admissions process at prestigious Wesleyan University. Over the course of nearly a year, Steinberg accompanied admissions officer Ralph Figueroa on a tour to assess and recruit the most promising students in the country. The Gatekeepers follows a diverse group of prospective students as they compete for places in the nation's most elite colleges. The first book to reveal the college admission process in such behind-the-scenes detail, The Gatekeepers will be required reading for every parent of a high school-age child and for every student facing the arduous and anxious task of applying to college. Members Reviews: Excellent insight but too much filler The parts of this book which detail the admissions process and decisions are truly excellent and invaluable to anyone seeking to understand how elite schools make their decisions. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this topic. This book was adapted from a series of articles. It shows. Substantial time is taken on detailing people and their backgrounds to get a better sense of where the different characters are coming from. This was somewhat interesting when the subject was an admissions officer, still bearable when it was one of the various applicants but the author didn't stop there. Are in-depth details the admissions officers parent's stories really of any value? Not so much, but still worse was the many minutes on his grandfather. I skipped over quite a bit at this point but, given the trend, I expect that in the hour+ I skipped we learned quite a bit of the back story of the UPS delivery man and the barista at the local coffee shop. However, once it got to the actual decision making process the book was informative and riveting. interesting . . . but Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? a well written, VERY interesting book on the the college admission process, but more like a nonfiction novel, than a reference book on the process. should be required reading for high school juniors Would you listen to The Gatekeepers again? Why? Absolutely. I want to process the information. Which scene was your favorite? Enjoyed the reality of following an admissions officier. Any additional comments? Yes, I wish the author would realize that school counselors could actually be vaulable resources to parents. I was offended by some of the generalizations about the profession. However, this book will still be on a reference slide during a college planning presentation. Interesting perspective, if a bit outdated What did you love best about The Gatekeepers? It's amazing how quickly the topic of college admissions can evolve. I really enjoyed this book for what it was - an inside look at a fairly selective private university's admission process for the class of 2004. While several things about the process are already outdated, I enjoyed some of the more humanistic pieces that it shows in a world that is generally dominated more by numbers. Double-standards to college admissions! Disturbing to hear the superficial subjective factors admissions directors weigh above grades and SAT scores!

Title: The Happy Kid Handbook Subtitle: How to Raise Joyful Children in a Stressful World Author: Katie Hurley Narrator: Kate Rudd Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Parenting has never been the easiest job in the world, but with all the parenting advice out there, it's hard not to become bewildered. Today everybody has a different method for dealing with the madness. And who's to say one method is better than another? How do you choose? The truth is that whatever drumbeat you march to, all parents would agree that we just want our kids to be happy. But in the face of all the many parenting theories out there, happiness feels like it has become incidental. That's where The Happy Kid Handbook comes in. Katie Hurley shows parents how happiness is the key to raising confident, capable children. Members Reviews: Take it from a long time educator - this book is a must have for parents! I have been an educator for over 40 years - until 2014 as Director of Summit View Schools. The thing educators and parents know for certain: no two kids are alike and no two days are alike! Katie gives clear explanations and advise for a variety of behaviors and issues. She gives not just one option- but many choices. It is apparent Katie is not only a talented professional, but a warm and loving parent. Take Back Childhood! As an early childhood teacher educator, my hope for prospective teachers is that they treat the children in their classrooms as individuals. Understanding each child's unique strengths and personality helps parents/educators know how to address challenging situations. The Happy Kid Handbook is a wealth of strategies used to motivate and understand children using each child's emotional, social, cognitive, and physical strengths. Katie gives parents and educators alike a blueprint for fostering resilient, happy, and productive children and for taking back childhood. A Must Read for ALL Parents Katie Hurley's "Happy Kid Handbook" has had a dramatic impact on how my wife and I view every single aspect of parenting. We were slowly but surely falling victim to the traps of over-scheduling our daughter, and we felt as though the three of us were prisoners of our own calendar creations. Thanks to the thoughtful advice in Katie's book, we are on a completely different path, and we firmly believe all of our lives will be much better for it. Thank you, Katie, for this handbook! Is your kid a happy kid? I knew I would love this book from the title alone, but there is a LOT of great parenting here! One of the most difficult things about parenting is that all kids are NOT alike. While one of your little ones might be outgoing and extroverted, the other might be quiet and sensitive to noise. Learning how to help your little ones navigate the world and live a happy life is the most important part of parenting, but where do you begin? The Happy Kid Handbook! And if you don't think you need a parenting book, you NEED this one So insightful, whether your kids are toddlers or teens. A must read for parents!! As a mother of 3, and an elementary school counselor, I loved it!!! It's easy to read, no psycho-babble, simple back to the basics recommendations. Play!! Tune in!! Listen to your kids!! There was not a chapter that wasn't helpful in some way. I can't wait to recommend this to parents of my students. SUCH a good read!!

Healing and Preventing Autism Audiobook by Jenny McCarthy, Jerry Kartzinel

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Dr. Jerry Kartzinel and Jenny McCarthy have put together the first book that will give parents all the necessary information about the Defeat Autism Now (DAN) school of treating autism. Beginning with diagnosis, Dr. Kartzinel will show parents how to make simple changes to their child's environment and diet that are safe and easy for parents to try at home and that can result in marked improvements for autistic children. He will also explain some of the more advanced therapies that DAN doctors use and the way that parents, alongside a qualified medical professional, can determine whether or not such treatments would benefit their child. ©2009 Formless Art Publishing, LLC; (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Members Reviews: This book is dangerous if you listen Jenny McCarthy has been on a crusade to eliminate vaccinations, despite their success reducing or eliminating dozens of nasty infections (some of which still plague the underdeveloped world) and despite the fact that dozens of studies have disproven any connection with autism. I would argue the modern vaccination system is the greatest achievement of modern medicine and has done more to eliminate death and sickness than any other treatment. Why does Jenny want to eliminate it, despite the benefits and the lack of downside risks? Presumably to sell books. She also advocates vitamins which have no demonstrated affect on autism (or anything else for that matter), and encourages heavy metal chelation, despite its limited benefits and heavy risks. This is a therapy that should only be discussed by medical practitioners in severe cases, and never by pop-healers who confuse gullible parents who are struggling with raising their children in a complex world. Avoid this book at all costs.

Parent Leadership for Today Audiobook by Clinton McRae Jr.

Title: Parent Leadership for Today Author: Clinton McRae Jr. Narrator: Clinton McRae Jr. Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: ACX Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Parent Leadership for Today is written with a special emphasis on educating, empowering, and inspiring parents in the construct of leadership. In the United States, 22 million children go home to one parent, and 83 percent of those parents are moms. Children of one-parent households are generally less supervised, their actions are less monitored, and there is usually a huge communication gap between the child and parent. Parent leadership provides proven strategies to help parents bridge this gap through useful tools and insight that will allow for better communication with the child. To do this effectively, Parent Leadership is divided into three sections: In each section, Parent Leadership examines the leadership principles that are experienced in the workplace and implements them through the eyes of parenting. Members Reviews: Highly Recommended This book was a simple, applicable, information packed tool that has enabled me to immediately implement positive action into my own life. It has helped me wrap my head around the idea of leading as a parent, how vastly important that is, and how I might best execute this when I do become one. I love how the books basis is found within the Bible, and how it speaks toward each person; focusing on the development of the individual parent and his/her own leadership style. To me It focuses on the core issue of changing the thought process and self reflection of the parent figure so that they might outwardly project onto their children. This book will give you a new perspective and in my opinion definitely help you on your journey to becoming a better person, leader, and parent. Great Parenting Information! Parent Leadership for Today is a wonderful and relevant book. This book allows you to identify your current leadership style and provides clear and intriguing information on the most effective leadership style. Parenting is a challenging job and having tools to assist you in your role is important. This tool has allowed me and my husband to examine both of our leadership styles and have an informed conversation on what is best for our children and why. The real life examples Clinton provides in the book about his own parenting learning lessons are relatable and drive home the teachings. I would recommend this book to any parent, single or married. Five Stars The ideas and techniques detailed in this book are relevant for every parent. A must read!!

Concise info. on the biggest mistakes today's parents might be prone to make and how to avoid these mistakes. What was one of the most memorable moments of 12 Huge Mistakes Parents Can Avoid?

What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? You can go back 30-seconds and re-listen! ;-) Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No! I listened on daily one-hour walks as I described in my earlier Audible book: Walking, Living, Learning. Any additional comments? Dr. Tim Elmore has a great heart to equip students, young professionals and parents in leadership and life. I'd listen/read any book he's ever produced. Speaking of, why not do an Audible version of Habitudes? (you can always attach a PDF of the images ;-))!!!!!!!! Had to repeat charters I enjoyed the book so much I had listen to many chapters over and over because of alk the wisdom. Went and bought the paperback so I cam highlight parts.

Cinderella Ate My Daughter Audiobook by Peggy Orenstein

Title: Cinderella Ate My Daughter Subtitle: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture Author: Peggy Orenstein Narrator: Peggy Orenstein Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-12 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 192 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Pink and pretty or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as a source - the source - of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages. But, realistically, how many times can you say no when your daughter begs for a pint-size wedding gown or the latest Hannah Montana CD? And how dangerous is pink and pretty anyway - especially given girls' successes in the classroom and on the playing field? Being a princess is just make-believe, after all; eventually they grow out of it. Or do they? Does playing Cinderella shield girls from early sexualization - or prime them for it? Could today's little princess become tomorrow's sexting teen? And what if she does? Would that make her in charge of her sexuality - or an unwitting captive to it? Those questions hit home with Peggy Orenstein, so she went sleuthing. She visited Disneyland and the international toy fair, trolled American Girl Place and Pottery Barn Kids, and met beauty pageant parents with preschoolers tricked out like Vegas showgirls. She dissected the science, created an online avatar, and parsed the original fairy tales. The stakes turn out to be higher than she - or we - ever imagined: nothing less than the health, development, and futures of our girls. From premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable - yet armed with awareness and recognition, parents can effectively counterbalance its influence in their daughters' lives. Cinderella Ate My Daughter is a must-read for anyone who cares about girls, and for parents helping their daughters navigate the rocky road to adulthood. Members Reviews: No solution just worry Hide your daughters 'cause it's a big bad world out there in pink taffeta. For the positive, I learned some interesting bits of trivia about Disney princesses and European fairy tales. Otherwise I found it to be a big book of worry that offered few if any solutions of what to do about all the evils of modern American consumerist life that threatens to engulf girls in a pink tide of an unreal sense of self, princess fantasy, and an over reliance on looks over feelings. Okay, it is a dispatch from the "front lines" of girlie culture and not a guide book with any solutions. Best to follow this up with a book by an expert and not a journalist who can help parents move from the battle lines to more peaceful shores. Engaging discourse about gender construction. Would you consider the audio edition of Cinderella Ate My Daughter to be better than the print version? Yes, it's a complicated topic, and the author reading the book makes the feminist dialogue easier to understand. It is more like having a conversation with Peggy, discussing opinions of gender instead of reading a long lecture. What was one of the most memorable moments of Cinderella Ate My Daughter? When she discusses allowing her daughter to have choice, instead of coercing her towards commercial femininity or coercing her away from it.

For practical applications This book is by far the best parenting book I have read. Many parenting books talk about why children behave and talk in certain ways without recommendations on what to do. This book is full of practical applications. I put ticket only liked various demonstrations of how things typically go versus what we could do differently.

A solid sense of self-worth helps your child make good choices, develop healthy relationships, and work to achieve his or her dreams. But what's the best way to instill self-confidence while still teaching your child to value and care about others? Based on a biblical understanding of human worth, Building Confidence in Your Child teaches you how to parent positively and help your child grow into a secure adult who is poised for success in life. Deftly balancing the principles of humility and pride, trusted author and parenting expert Dr. James Dobson offers practical pointers that break through the theories and get right down to the decisions you have to make every day. In our emotionally toxic world, it's more important than ever to help your child develop healthy self-esteem. Let this audiobook show you how. Members Reviews: too long no summary too long no summary at the end it is audible book so if writer takes consideration of adding a chapter of summary about the whole book like Brian Tracy books too religious there are many good hints and remarks but there is way too much about Christian upbringing and mixing of psychology with religion. Not recommending unless you dont mind that Zero stars This book is dated and offensive. The author is quick to judge others and talk himself up. This book should come with a warning that it is for a Christian audience. I found his patriarchal and religious opinions offensive. He says "The root cause of all suffering is sin" What a perverted thing to say! I want a refund!

Title: For Parents Only Subtitle: Getting Inside the Head of Your Kid Author: Shaunti Feldhahn, Lisa Author Rice Narrator: Shaunti Feldhahn Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-08 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In this remarkable audiobook, Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa Rice take you inside the mind of teens and preteens through the same innovative approach that seized national attention in the best-selling book For Women Only, For Men Only, and For Young Women Only. They explore the results of a nationwide survey and personal interviews with more than 1,000 real-life teens and tweens to tackle those things parents often don't get about their kids. You'll hear first-hand about the longings that drive your kids' seemingly illogical decisions, the truth behind those exasperating "attitude problems," and what your children would tell you if they could trust you to truly listen. Members Reviews: Really great! Would love to have known this information sooner. What I have learned will greatly effect my parenting. Fundamentals and new insights as well This book has some fundamental information which is good to re-hear and re-learn (such as kids really do feel loved when a parent cares enough to discipline). It also covers some new insights (such as when kids say parents dont LISTEN, what they mean is that we don't understand thier feelings). There is a lot of surveyed information so some of the lessons in this book may or may not apply to your child specifically, but I think that there is enough information covered to portray the ideas and expression of most kids. I enjoyed the book and the narration and the information is "usable". I would recommend it to new an veteran parents alike. Helpful for now, but a must read later Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I would recommend this book because it offers a lot of insight into what your child may be thinking. What other book might you compare For Parents Only to and why? It is similar to Dr. James Dobson's Parenting Isn't for Cowards as far as offering a lot of statistics about children and their behavior. It is different from Parenting Isn't for Cowards in that it is geared more toward the behavior of teenager's while Dobson's book gives more insight into the younger child. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes. Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? Children need to feel the security of boundaries from their parents. Any additional comments? My son is 5 years old and this was somewhat helpful, however I will find myself reading it again when he gets older.

The Mother Dance Audiobook by Harriet Lerner

Title: The Mother Dance Subtitle: How Children Change Your Life Author: Harriet Lerner Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 07-12-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: From the celebrated author of The Dance of Anger comes an extraordinary book about mothering and how it transforms us - and all our relationships - inside and out. Written from her dual perspective as a psychologist and a mother, Lerner brings us deeply personal tales that run the gamut from the hilarious to the heart-wrenching. From birth or adoption to the empty nest, The Mother Dance teaches the basic lessons of motherhood: that we are not in control of what happens to our children, that most of what we worry about doesn't happen, and that our children will love us with all our imperfections if we can do the same for them. Here is a gloriously witty and moving book about what it means to dance the mother dance. Members Reviews: Excellent this book is excellent. I have read all this book is excellent. I have read all of her books and I hope she keeps writing Decent information with slight author bias There were times that I laughed out loud while reading this book. It definitely has its moments. There were two things that made it difficult for me to love this book. 1. While many of her insights were enlightening, Lerner seems quite sure that all women resent the stereotype to stay at home and take care of the children. I loved the role of homemaker, and full-time mom, so I felt that some of her advice had a personal bias. 2. The narrator was overly dramatic, in my opinion. There were times when her dramatic and condescending tone didn't seem to match Lerner's intended tone. This often amplified the disdain that Lerner seems to feel for gender roles. I general, there were good stories about motherhood, and good advice/information on the parent-child relationship. I would recommend reading over listening to this one. laborious I found the transatlantic accent of the reader off-putting and it made the self-important story telling that much more arrogant sounding and laborious to slog through. There were some helpful tidbits strewn throughout but I certainly wasn't invested in the book.

Title: Killing Lions Subtitle: A Guide Through the Trials Young Men Face Author: John Eldredge, Sam Eldredge Narrator: John Eldredge, Sam Eldredge Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-14 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 194 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The Challenge Before You Is a Bold One: To Accept the Wild, Daring Adventure of Becoming a Man We want to be self-sufficient. Find our own direction as we pursue our dreams. Know it all and never ask for help. Isn't this how most guys approach manhood? On our own, pretending we are doing better than we really are? But sooner or later the thrill of independence gets lost in the fog of isolation. It's time to take the pressure off. We were never meant to figure life out on our own. This book was born out of a series of weekly phone calls between Sam Eldredge, a young writer in his twenties, and his dad, bestselling author John Eldredge. Join the conversation as a father and son talk about pursuing beauty, dealing with money, getting married, chasing dreams, knowing something real with God, and how to find a life you can call your own. Killing Lions is more than fatherly advice. It is an invitation into a journey: either to be the son who receives fathering or the father who learns what must be spoken. Most important, these conversations speak to a searching generation: "You are not alone. Its not all up to you. You are going to find your way." Members Reviews: EVERY MAN SHOULD READ Wow what an awesome book!!! I wish I had had this when I was a younger man coming thru my teens and 20's. A must read and give it away. This is powerful healing stuff Phenomenal book!! This book really speaks to the heart and makes you think about the way we grow as men. Young men this is a killer book to read married or not married. Sit down and enjoy this one!!!! A must for every son! I wish I had this book when my son was still at home. However, I will still share this with him and pray it will open avenues for discussion between us as he begins his journey as a husband and father. Thank you John and Sam for sharing this life giving conversation! A conversation with dad This book is a great listen on the struggles of young men in todayss culture with some fatherly advice. I think in some ways the narration between a son and his father makes it a better book for listening then reading. Recommend for dads with teenagers and young men in early to mid 20s. Perfect for Dads of Young Men Would you consider the audio edition of Killing Lions to be better than the print version? Today's generation too often prefers the simplicity and flexibility of listening/watching over reading. Having this in audio form not only brought the story to life through the narration directly by John and his son Sam, but perfectly fit my desire to be able to share this with my young adult sons who have left home and off to college. Their feedback has been better than expected, felt it was very relevant to issues they were dealing with. Highly recommend to other dads who desire to stay engaged in their sons lives.

Title: The Mindful Child Subtitle: How to Help Your Kid Manage Stress and Become Happier, Kinder, and More Compassionate Author: Susan Kaiser Greenland Narrator: Angela Brazil Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The techniques of mindful awareness have helped millions of adults reduce stress in their lives. Now, children - who are under more pressure than ever before - can learn to protect themselves with these well-established methods adapted for their ages. Based on a program affiliated with UCLA, The Mindful Child is a groundbreaking book, the first to show parents how to teach these transformative practices to their children. Mindful awareness works by enabling you to pay closer attention to what is happening within you - your thoughts, feelings, and emotions - so you can better understand what is happening to you. The Mindful Child extends the vast benefits of mindfulness training to children from four to 18 years old with age-appropriate exercises, songs, games, and fables that Susan Kaiser Greenland has developed over more than a decade of teaching mindful awareness to kids. These fun and friendly techniques build kids' inner and outer awareness and attention, which positively affects their academic performance as well as their social and emotional skills. Critic Reviews: "One of the best books on mindfulness for kids that I have read. Practical and accessible." (Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart) Members Reviews: Older book - but STILL A CLASSIC. Once you can settle-in, past the narrator's robotic method of delivering the content, (I truly began to believe hers was a computer-generated voice!) often punctuated by a decidedly odd increase of volume and pace here-and-there, you'll be able to gain a LOT from this book! Be prepared to create several bookmarks and notes - there is a WEALTH of knowledge herein. A great place to begin learning about mindfulness from a child's - and adult's - perspective, and one I'm sure many of us will return to for re-'reading'. So much great info! Would you listen to The Mindful Child again? Why? Yes, I highly recommend this book! The Mindful Child is a wonderful book, loaded with practical information. Listening to the book alone sent me into information overload. I recommend having a hard copy of this title to reference back to and use the games and mindful scripts for later references. What insight do you think youll apply from The Mindful Child? Big take aways for me include: *(pg 147) Teaching mindfulness is not the see one, do one, teach one model typically embraced in education. Rather, mindfulness requires that we practice it, live it, be it, and practice it some more before we offer it to others. *Ways to introduce and apply the Still Quiet Place- Im excited to dive in and explore guided meditations that can calm busy minds in a variety of lengths of time (5-30 min) *Mindful Eating *I really like this thought: Body like a mountain; breath like the wind; and mind like the sky (pg. 84)- to be applied possibly after Savasana or maybe even the start of a class to bring awareness and use it to then set an intention of openness. *The act of building awareness and questions that can be asked to gage where students are. (pg. 145) *Awareness of thoughts, emotions and how we react to them (while listening to Watching the Wheels - pg. 157). What people feel and how they express it is personal and should not be discounted.

We've recently taken some of the ideas, including the picture board for what we want him to do and he's been responding. Nothing moves quickly with him, but we are definitely seeing improvement, so that's a good thing.

It has sold over 400,000 copies, been translated into 17 languages, and sells over 25,000 every year, which is more than any other book on boys in history. To follow up on this first book, which launched the boy's movement, he has now written this revolutionary new book which confronts what he and a lot of other parents and teachers in this country truly believe to be a "boy's crisis". Here are the facts: So what can we do? Gurian has the answer in this enormously fascinating and practical book which shows parents and teachers how to help boys overcome their current classroom obstacles by helping to create the proper learning environment, understand how to help boys work with their unique natural gifts, nurture and expand every bit of their potential, and enabling them to succeed in life the way they ought to. Gurian presents a whole new way of solving the problem based on the success of his program in schools across the country, the latest research and application of neuro-biological research on how boys' brains actually work and how they can learn very well if they're properly taught. Anyone who cares about the future of our boys must read this book. Members Reviews: a must read for parents and teachers if boys....

Title: Parenting Beyond Belief Subtitle: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids Without Religion Author: Dale McGowan Narrator: Milton Bagby Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 124 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Contributors include Richard Dawkins, Penn Jillette, Julia Sweeney, and Dr. Donald B. Ardell Its hard enough to live a secular life in a religious world. And bringing up children without religious influence can be even more daunting. Despite the difficulties, a large and growing number of parents are choosing to raise their kids without religion. In Parenting Beyond Belief, Dale McGowan celebrates the freedom that comes with raising kids without formal indoctrination and advises parents on the most effective way to raise freethinking children. With advice from educators, doctors, psychologists, and philosophers as well as wisdom from everyday parents, the book offers tips and insights on a variety of topics, from "mixed marriages" to coping with death and loss, and from morality and ethics to dealing with holidays. Sensitive and timely, Parenting Beyond Belief features reflections from such freethinkers as Mark Twain, Richard Dawkins, Bertrand Russell, and wellness guru Dr. Don Ardell that will empower every parent to raise both caring and independent children without constraints. Critic Reviews: "Parents on both sides of the culture war will find this book a compelling read." (Newsweek) Members Reviews: I'm so glad I found this book This book gives many ideas from different parents on how to raise your child without religion and how to address the sticky points you are sure to encounter. You will agree with some authors and not with others, but you will certainly find plenty to help you with this daunting adventure. The narrator was ok, but a bit on the slow side. Also, I wish the narrator or producer had left more space between essays and chapters. A couple seconds of silence here and there would have made it much easier to follow. As soon as I finished this audiobook, I purchased McGowan's follow up hardcopy book: Raising Freethinkers: a Practical Guide for Parenting Beyond Belief. A bunch of stories, no clear cut advice. Would you try another book from Dale McGowan and/or Milton Bagby? Maybe What was most disappointing about Dale McGowans story? There wasn't a story it was a book with other peoples stories. What does Milton Bagby bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I don't now. What character would you cut from Parenting Beyond Belief? There isn't a character. Whiney Atheist confirmation self pity garbage. Let me say I am atheist, but I dislike the "I'm injured by people who tell me god bless you, or say I'll pray for you" crap. This book isn't all that much about parenting, it's about feeling better AS an atheist parent, there's not much for advice in here, it's a lot of "look how discriminated against we are" and there's a lot more atheists out there then you would think. I wanted a parenting advice book, that didn't reference God as a solution to problems your child may be having, this was not it. Headache-inducing reading The material is gold; great insight and suggestions. However, the reading is literally headache-inducing. He delivers every sentence with the same rhythmic intensity, ruining the nuanced observations of the writers. It rather feels a like a hammer being pounded into your head. I abandoned the audiobook and picked up the paperback from my public library instead.

Title: Mindful Co-Parenting Subtitle: A Child-Friendly Path through Divorce Author: Jeremy S. Gaies Psy.D., James B. Morris Jr. Ph.D. Narrator: Jeremy S. Gaies, James B. Morris Jr. Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 04-24-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Being good parents is hard even when you're happily married, but for separated or divorced couples, parenting can be particularly daunting. There is hope. Mindful Co-Parenting provides divorced parents a practical way through the process that protects their children. In this compact, step-by-step guide, written in a supportive yet direct style, clinical psychologists Jeremy S. Gaies, Psy.D., and James B. Morris Jr., PhD, identify what matters most to kids and describe the importance of parents being mindful of their children's needs and wants. Starting with the question of whether or not divorce is the best option for your family, the book walks you through the process, from choosing the most child-friendly divorce proceedings, to navigating co-parenting after the papers are signed, to handling the future challenges of step parenting and other issues that may arise. By simply paying attention and planning ahead, you and your ex can reduce the potential negative effects of divorce on your family. Learn how to create a comprehensive parenting plan that can begin to establish a new norm for the benefit of your family's new future. Members Reviews: Great for handling hard situations. Would you consider the audio edition of Mindful Co-Parenting to be better than the print version? I loved being able to listen to the book on my long commute to work and home. Very helpful and great to hear the things my ex and I are doing is on the right path. What did you like best about this story? Ways to better this relationship and be more productive with our separated family. Too academic The first section on separation is terrible advice. If you move out of the marital home, even if you have good intentions, you've now changed the status quo to the benefit of the spouse who remains. Attorneys will tell you the same thing. Also, with 90% of separated couples progressing to divorce, it's simply not pragmatic advice. It's like it was written for an academic audience, not for everyday parents.

The Open-Hearted Way to Open Adoption Audiobook by Lori Holden, Crystal Hass

Title: The Open-Hearted Way to Open Adoption Subtitle: Helping Your Child Grow up Whole Author: Lori Holden, Crystal Hass Narrator: Meredith Mitchell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 03-30-16 Publisher: Vibrance Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Prior to 1990, fewer than five percent of domestic infant adoptions were open. In 2012, 90 percent or more of adoption agencies are recommending open adoption. Yet these agencies do not often or adequately prepare either adopting parents or birth parents for the road ahead of them! The adult parties in open adoptions are left floundering. There are many resources on why to do open adoption, but what about how? Open adoption isn't just something parents do when they exchange photos, send emails, share a visit. It's a lifestyle that may feel intrusive at times, be difficult or inconvenient at other times. Tensions can arise even in the best of circumstances. But knowing how to handle these situations and how to continue to make arrangements work for the child involved is paramount. This book offers listeners the tools and the insight to do just that. It covers common open-adoption situations and how real families have navigated typical issues successfully. Like all useful parenting books, it provides parents with the tools to come to answers on their own, and answers questions that might not yet have come up. Through their own stories and those of other families of open adoption, Lori and Crystal review the secrets to success, the pitfalls and challenges, the joys and triumphs. By putting the adopted child at the center, families can come to enjoy the benefits of open adoption and mitigate the challenges that may arise. More than a how-to, this book shares a mindset, a heartset that can be learned and internalized, so parents can choose to act out of love and honesty throughout their child's growing up years, helping that child to grow up whole. Members Reviews: Comprehensive Yet Accessible!!! My trouble with having star-studded so many previous Reviews is that when I REALLY want to give five stars to a work, there's no room for me to move up: no sixth star and no option to add exclamation points, unless it's to the Review title, which I did. I don't know how any author could offer more on this topic without reaching out too far and losing focus. There's something in Lori's book for every point of light in the open adoption constellation. A grandmother on the birthfamily side? She talks about your role. A resistant birthfather who comes around (or doesn't)? She swings the telescope your way. All possible contributions to the center of this universe -- the child -- are charted. Yet, she knows how dynamic all networks can be and she offers plenty of practical and even spiritual tips to make your own way. While Lori is super-positive and optimistic, she doesn't gloss over the bumpy currents all navigators of open adoption are bound to experience. Like all big families, interactions with all members are uneven across the lifespan; but clearly, Lori knows that. She even gives letter-writing ideas to open up an adoption that has been closed by either the birthfamily or the adoptive family. Having spoken in glowing terms about this book, please know I don't agree with everything Lori seems to embrace (to me, prospective adoptive parents do not belong in any room of the hospital).

This will also give you an advice which can really improve your babies to sleep and for modern parents as well. Buy this helpful guide........ Perfect solution to our 11wk Olds sleep issues. It's been 10 years since my last infant,so I needed to brush up on some issues. After started to read the book (easy quick read ) I realized that my husband and I were doing a fairly good job. We just needed some adjustments.Works quite well! Not Helpful The idea of this book is very appealing to a new parent trying to sort out the different sleep training methods. It would be great to get a good overview of the main methods in a concise, one hour audiobook. Unfortunately, this book is no more helpful than Googling for answers, which most parents probably will have already done before picking this up. The discussion of the different methods is surface-level and disorganized, supported by random quotes from the internet. Additionally, the reading of it is not engaging at all. The voice and cadence sound oddly robotic; it's as if Siri were reading to me.

Baffled by social rules, isolated and friendless, he made up his own, and applied them to others. When they inevitably broke his rules, he felt worthless and unloved. Both Temple and Sean ultimately came to terms with the social world and found their places in it.

Title: Parenting through Divorce Subtitle: Helping Your Children Thrive During and After the Split Author: Lisa Rene Reynolds, PhD Narrator: Pam Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 03-04-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A repository of wisdom and practical counsel for any family going through a divorce. Divorce has devastating effects on children. Yet for divorcing parents who carefully consider and manage the intricacies associated with this difficult time, both parents, as seen from the childs perspective, can remain as loving and supportive as they ever were. Parenting through Divorce concisely lays out the specific emotions and reactions parents need to anticipate from their children while going through separation, divorce, and its after-math. Rather than weighing parents down with complicated plans, confusing information, and legal terminology, this book takes a common-sense approach, providing listeners in a state of emotional distress with the practical, down-to-earth advice they need to sensibly and comfortingly guide their children through this often painful process. Covering the most common mistakes divorcing parents tend to make, as well as addressing special issues that come up for kids of different age groups, this book helps you retain a strong, healthy, and loving environment for your child, even in the midst of change. This is a much-needed repository of wisdom and practical counsel for any family going through a time of heightened feelings and fragile relationships. Editorial Reviews: Divorce is a stressful time in the lives of parents and children and Lisa Rene Reynolds's audiobook Parenting through Divorce: Helping Your Children Thrive During and After the Split aims to help alleviate some of that stress. Using years of research and firsthand experience as her source, Reynolds lays out dozens of simple ways that parents can help lessen the trauma of separation for their children. This audiobook is performed by Pam Ward who excels in conveying Reynolds' thoughtful words in a clear and relatable manner. Ward's warm tone helps ease the pain of the difficult process that is divorce. Members Reviews: Good enough Good help through the divorce process, better to read it before the process and helps you to understand your kids Very good Very thorough and thoughtful. Just needs to be updated for current technology communication methods (e.g text messaging). A lighthouse for piloting the stormy seas for separating families I found that this book offers both very simple and obvious advice all the way through to incredibly insightful and applicable ways of steering my behavioural boat through the stormy seas of separation with my spouse, so as to minimise the harm that could to my children. What I liked must was gaining understanding of how divorce may be seen from a child's point of view and tips and tricks on how to acknowledge and speak about the powerful emotions and feelings coming up and the life changes taking place. It was equally informative about what not to say and share with the children! I also found the narrator very easy to listen to. All in all a lighthouse in the storm of separating families.

Forbes LCSW Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-13 Publisher: Beyond Consequences Institute Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: We are living in one of the most stressful times in human history. This abundance of stress is impacting families and in many cases, manifesting itself in children with difficult and severe behaviors. Homes often turn into intense fighting grounds of power struggles and control battles parents find themselves in us against them scenarios with their children. Tension continually builds and before long, parents are feeling completely overwhelmed, powerless, and resentful of their children. As parents implement traditional parenting techniques, parenting in a way that most parenting books recommend, they find their situations becoming worse, not better as promised these resources. In her new book, Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control: A Love Based Approach to Helping Children with Severe Behaviors, Volume 2, Heather offers practical and effective solutions based in scientific research, coupled with professional and personal experience. She is a master at bridging the gap between academic research and real life when the rubber hits the road parenting. Members Reviews: Astoundingly simple. Amazingly effective First, having it read by Heather made it so genuine . She helped me realize how my child's illogical, ungrateful, and oppositional behaviors were simply reactions to my behaviors. Thank you, Heather. You have helped me engage sincerely with my son AND numerous other "difficult personalities" by simply remaining calm, attentive, and acknowledging their fears. Very interesting concepts... Book along with the first one are very interesting to me. I am perplexed at home my son could be so this regulated when I got him from birth. So many of the concepts in the book resonate with me and my experience with my child. I love these books but sometimes what my child is doing has not been covered in the books and I don't know exactly what to do. I will just keep re reading material and hope that some of it becomes transferable for what I am experiencing. wonderful book for any parent Attachment challenges with you children this is an amazing and life altering book that gives insight into why your child acts the way they do and how to help them stop Alternative to power struggles Though I find the term unconditional love misleading, I think the principles solid. Thanks for turning life from a chore into a worthwhile and joyful experience.

34 Ways to Talk to a Narcissist: The Narcissistic Borderline Relationship Dynamic Audiobook

Title: 34 Ways to Talk to a Narcissist: The Narcissistic Borderline Relationship Dynamic Author: J.B. Snow Narrator: D Gaunt Format: Unabridged Length: 31 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-15 Publisher: JB Snow Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Many of us try to learn how to communicate throughout our lives with other individuals. We think that once we learn communication skills, we are set to talk to anyone. This belief is one that is quickly thrown by the wayside once we meet a narcissist whom we want or need to communicate with. His thought patterns and speech may be much different from anything we've ever encountered before. Before we know it, we have upset the narcissist and have gotten on his bad side, which is a very bad place to be. In book one we detailed the different emotional places that the borderline and her narcissistic lover might come from during their development and in response to their relationships with their caregivers. As children, when we experience the overprotective helicopter parent who idealizes us far too much, the parent who can never accept the child's individuality and asks perfection of him, or the cold and emotionally invalidating parent(s) that tell us "boys don't cry", it disrupts our emotional development during the first 18 years, causing things like narcissism, borderline personality disorder, OCPD, avoidant personality disorder, antisocial personality or conduct disorders, or schizoid personality disorder. First, I want to give a little back information on the borderline-narcissist relationship duo for those who are new to my series and refresh those who have tuned in to my other related books. The relationship duo between borderlines and narcissists tends to be more common than we think. There is no true way to get a good picture of how many relationships span this dynamic, as many borderlines and narcissists go undiagnosed or undetected. Most narcissists don't have the intuition, knowledge of their condition, or interest in their inner world to pursue why they are the way they are. It is unlikely that they would seek treatment because of their overinflated egos... Members Reviews: Fair, true, utilitarian assumes the person relating to the narcissist wishes to live in harmony with the narcissist at every expends to themselves. if you realise a Narcissit is basically self serving, and you back off when they get upset, you've already got down what this book says. it is a listing of points, and does state that they are highly territorial and have known to kill over things, objects, people that are their s. So get out of their way when anger erupts. A lot of good tools and information. Very informative and eye open. Great revelation! This book brought great understanding and helped me to see the origin of some behaviors. It was very interesting to say the least. this is enabling empathic responses are more helpful, I was hoping to find that in this book. however, this book is about enabling and making the problem worse. Not what I expected This book is about enabling, perpetuating, and catering to narcissistic behavior. That was not what I looking for. Clear and concise If you could sum up 34 Ways to Talk to a Narcissist: The Narcissistic Borderline Relationship Dynamic in three words, what would they be? Very help book on common traits of the narcissistic personality and suggestions on how to respond to them in specific situations. This book is in list form and I found it to be very clear and to the point.

Title: Strengths Based Parenting Subtitle: Developing Your Children's Innate Talents Author: Mary Reckmeyer, Jennifer Robison Narrator: Teri Clark Linden Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: How can you discover your children's unique talents? And how can you use your own talents and strengths to be the most effective and supportive parent possible? Strengths Based Parenting addresses these and other questions on parents' minds. But unlike many parenting books, Strengths Based Parenting focuses on identifying and understanding what your children are naturally good at and where they thrive - not on their weaknesses. The book also helps you uncover your own innate talents and effectively apply them to your individual parenting style. You'll find stories, examples and practical advice as well as a strengths assessment access code for parents and one for kids, so you can take the first step to discovering your innate talents and those of your children. Grounded in decades of Gallup research on strengths psychology - as highlighted in Gallup's StrengthsFinder 2.0, which has sold nearly 5 million copies to date - Strengths Based Parenting shows you how to uncover your kids' top talents and your own. The strengths journey is one that the whole family embarks on together, and Strengths Based Parenting will guide you and your children to more fulfilling, productive and happy lives. Members Reviews: This was so helpful to understand my children better and then to speak to their strengths This was so helpful to understand my children better and then to speak to their strengths. It has made them feel so special and necessary to the world knowing more of their value. I taught a homeschool group of 10-14 year old kids using the strengths explorer and this book as a guide. It was so fun to see them labeling themselves and each other with positive qualities and then living up to them in the home as some moms expressed and I noticed with my own children. Useful framework to support young people Great book, shows you how to parent and inspire others based on their strengths as well as your own, which is the essence of building strong relationships. The framework is extremely useful. Would have liked more real life examples of handling day to day situations, rather than the big-picture success stories. But with some imagination, you can apply these concepts to make a positive difference for your family, for anyone around you. Wonderful advice. There is a code that allows you to take the strengths test yourself. Quick read. Wonderful advice. Eagerly anticipated- and it delivers! I've been interested in StrengthsFinder for years, and was excited about StrengthsQuest for kids. However, I was disappointed at the lack of context and action plans for parents to utilize. When I heard that a strengths-based parenting book was coming out, I immediately pre-ordered it. Gobbled it up the first day I got it, and am so pleased at the insights it offers. Can't wait to discuss with my two children. Well done! Gave Me the Missing Piece This is the breakthrough I was looking for to understand my son.

Title: King Me Subtitle: What Every Son Wants and Needs From his Father Author: Steve Farrar Narrator: Chris Fabry Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-05 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Using kings of the Old Testament as character studies, Steve Farrar examines the critical role a father plays in preparing his son to become a godly man. What separated the good kings from the bad kings was a father who made time commitments to mentor his son, by modeling biblical manhood. Do you want your son to become a man of regal character? Then this book is for you! ©2005 Steve Farrar; (P)2005 Oasis Audio LLC Members Reviews: awesome book for any dad! loved Steve's openeness and also that he admitted to the areas he has failed on, helps connect with Him eve n more. EVERY Man and Boy Alive Should Read This!! What did you love best about King Me? WOW! Every man and boy alive should read this book. Certainly every father or father to be of a son should read this book. Man so powerful and speaks to my heart so deeply. I'm not a Father yet but I know that when I am I will re-read this and I am more prepared to be so, but not only that, more prepared to live in the world as a Christian man, son, husband, brother, leader, employee, employer... This book is life changing! What did you like best about this story? Everything! What did you learn from King Me that you would use in your daily life? How to be a better more intentional male adult. Also more about myself and finding that other men struggle with the same things I do, not some, all. I want to be a man that lives in relationships intentionally in my actions and conversations that build, encourage, teach, and grow those around me and certainly those under me that I'm responsible for. Any additional comments? Can't wait to read Steve's other books and can't thank him enough for this one! A Must for Fathers Raising Boys This is a great follow up to Farrar's excellent book "Point Man". He gives practical, biblical advice that is needed to all fathers of boys. It really opened my eyes to how the world is pulling at our boys in the wrong direction and how I can correct that. Everything I have read/listened to by Steve Farrar is excellent and this is no exception! Shaky theology Seems to misrepresent some very basic Bible truths to make a point. Kind of puts the rest of the book in question for me. Not a very interesting listen either way, so no big loss. Fathering could be the greatest single challenge of your life. A couple of quotes from the book I took note of - "It may be hard for a father not to have a son but it is much hard for a son not to have a father" - "The best leaders think far enough ahead to groom a replacement.That's what fathering is all about, it's mentoring and equipping their your son to become a man who will assume the family leadership for the next generation" Overall this was a great book to get insight as to how to engage and teach my sons. I have 3 boys. The author points to many examples of biblical fathering, good and bad, and does a great job with personal examples as well. Lots of lessons to learn. I believe books like this one are essential for a father who wants to raise his son to have a biblical foundation. Every Christian father should read this. I also recommend Point Man which is the author's other book. He mentions it a few times in this book.

The Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers Audiobook by Dawn Dais

Title: The Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers Subtitle: Sh!t No One Tells You Series #2 Author: Dawn Dais Narrator: Meredith Mitchell Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Second in the Sh!t No One Tells You series, in The Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers Dawn Dais tells it like it is - again - offering real advice for parents of growing children. Filled with tips, encouragement, and a strong dose of humor, The Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers is a survival handbook for parents on the edge. Coming from one empathetic parent to another, the tips in this book are real, clever, honest, and designed to make life with a terrible two- or three-year-old a little bit more manageable. Hilarious, helpful, and handy, this book will be appreciated by any parent who has asked, "Why didn't anybody warn me that unconditional love would be so much work?" Members Reviews: Not research-based What disappointed you about The Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers? This book is full of sarcasm and opinions and very little research-based parenting information. What could Dawn Dais have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The author quotes research to support her stance on spanking, but she discounts the research that supports the negative impact that media use and screen time have on child development. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Meredith Mitchell? The narrator was good. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It's funny. Bad! Don't waste your time or money. This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Not sure anybody would. Would you ever listen to anything by Dawn Dais again? Definitely No! How could the performance have been better? Need someone credible to tell the story. Neither the author nor the list of people she referenced in the book have any more knowledge than an average person on the street. Any additional comments? I only got to the first few chapters before I have to put the book down. It was boring, non-informative, and just a waste of time. Its better off as a fiction book. I was hoping it would get better but it never did. Wished I could get my money back.

The Curse of the Good Girl looks into the phenomenon of the glass ceiling placed on girls who attempt to live up to the standard of being "good". Simmons then shows how parents can help build girls' self-esteem and give them the strength to pursue their goals. ©2009 Rachael Simmons (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: Now I Understand "Assertiveness!" A review screamed at me. I bought the book because I wanted to better myself and therefore my daughter in this way. While reading this book, I was taken on a roller coaster. Each hump of the roller coaster was a new emotion. The book took a deep dive into a culture I had grown up in, experienced, and felt the repercussions of... But never stopped to carefully examine. The book touched on assertiveness and so many more skills lost to girls with the narration quickly bringing you through each chapter. I highly recommend this book to anyone that seeks to understand what it means to be a perfectionist, has felt misunderstood, wonders why they feel attacked in confrontation, or doesn't feel listened to. If I could sum it up in one word...enlightening. Best book for mom's of daughters that I have read This book is absolutely fantastic! I have a 12 yr old daughter who is struggling with her friendships and listening to the book helped me understand "girl culture" as I never did before. I felt like I should have been taking notes throughout the entire book. Great advice for helping my daughter and myself to become more emotionally aware and authentic in our relationships with others. I highly recommend this book! I wish I had read this years ago I really liked Odd Girl Out. I was teaching when I first read that book, and I had to rethink all my assumptions about the teenage girls I was teaching. This is a great follow on book with practical techniques to help girls in growing their own voice. The approach seems quite natural and I see it as distinct from assertiveness training, which is all about having women learn to act more like men. I wish I had read this when it first came out. excellent narration - great for audio listening Did The Curse of the Good Girl inspire you to do anything? After listening to the book... I was inspired to listen more and advise less as "girl stuff'" came up with my daughter. The tools in this book helped guide me in my understanding of what my daughter is experiencing... and provided good fodder for questions to ask her to help her better explain and understand the issues she's facing herself. Any additional comments? I would recommend this book to parents to girls ages 10 to 18ish.

Free Range Kids Audiobook by Lenore Skenazy

Title: Free Range Kids Subtitle: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry Author: Lenore Skenazy Narrator: Susan Bennett Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 08-11-09 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 176 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Lenore Skenazy called down a firestorm of controversy when she wrote a newspaper column about letting her nine-year-old ride alone on the New York City subway. In this plainspoken take on modern parenting, Skenazy offers a commonsense approach to letting kids be kids. ©2009 Lenore Skenazy (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Critic Reviews: "Skenazy flies the black flag of "America's Worst Mom," a title this syndicated columnist and NPR commentator earned by allowing her nine-year-old son to ride the New York City public transit alone in 2008. Here, she puts parents' fears to bed by examining the statistical likelihood of the dangers we most fear (murder, baby-snatching, etc.). Drawing on facts, statistics, and humor, she convincingly argues that this is one of the safest periods for children in the history of the world, reiterating that "mostly, the world is safe...and mostly, people are good." Even the lowest-flying helicopter parents would have trouble disagreeing that "we have entered an era that says you cannot trust yourself. Trust a product instead." Skenazy argues that it's time to retire the national pastime of worrying and that "childhood is supposed to be about discovering the world, not being held captive." The obvious has never been so hilarious." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: Plenty to think about I read this today and was relieved to find it was written by someone who can actually write, has a sense of humour and - best of all - can succesfully avoid triggering the gag reflex of a 41-year-old male curmudgeon. I was quite interested at the range of emotion it provoked in me, from wanting to shake her hand and buy her a drink to wanting to hurl the book across the room. I didn't hurl it though because it's an audiobook and my ipod is precious so I hurled James Joyce's "Ulysses" instead. Even after all these years it's surprising how therapeutic that can be. Anyway, she's very good* on educational toys, Baby Einstein DVDs ("Even Mozart didn't listen to Mozart as a kid. His kids did though - and who's ever heard of them?"), and general running-about-outdoors-and-making-a-mess. she is fundamentally unsound** on breastfeeding and bicycling***. There are some dodgy applications of statistics in there and some hackneyed health-and-safety-gone-mad stories are trotted out, such as that old chestnut - no pun intended - about conkers being banned throughout England by government fiat. On the whole, the buy-her-a-drink tendency outweighed the throw-Ulysses-across-the-room tendency about 80:20, so buy the book if you're in the mood to have an argument with the author in your head or if you need an antidote to society's excesses but that's about it. Footnotes: *=by which of course i mean "she reinforces my prejudices" **=by which of course i mean "she does not reinforce my prejudices" ***=alliteration aside, even i would have to admit it is unwise to combine the two...." Too many asides The book was good, but it could have been about a third shorter if the author had cut out all of the cutesy asides. There were way too many, and they were annoying.

Title: The Sibling Effect Subtitle: What the Bonds among Brothers and Sisters Reveal about Us Author: Jeffrey Kluger Narrator: Pete Larkin Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Nobody affects us as deeply as our brothers and sisters - not parents, not children, not friends. From the time we - and they - are born, our siblings are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role models and cautionary tales. They teach us how to resolve conflicts and how not to, how to conduct friendships and when to walk away. Our siblings are the only people we know who truly qualify as partners for life. In this groundbreaking book, renowned science writer Jeffrey Kluger explores the complex world of siblings in a way that's equal parts science, psychology, sociology, and memoir. Based heavily on new and emerging research, The Sibling Effect examines birth order, ongoing twin studies, genetic encoding of behavioral traits, how emotional disorders can affect - and be affected by - sibling relationships, and much more. With his signature insight and humor, Kluger takes big ideas about siblings and turns them into smart, accessible writing that will help anyone understand the importance of siblings in our lives. Critic Reviews: "This book had a profound impact on me that I never could have anticipated.... It's a compelling and beautifully written story, interwoven with fascinating, cutting-edge research." (David Sheff, author of Beautiful Boy) Members Reviews: This is the only book I never finished I have several hundred audio books in a wide range of areas in my Library and I have enjoyed almost every one of them. I am a certified soft touch as a listener and reviewer. So here is the bad news. This is the only book out of the hundreds that I disliked enough not to finish. I should have been the target audience for this book (seven kids in the family). Instead I found the book to be simplistic, mostly wrong and excruciatingly dull. No Malcolm Gladwell It's not horrible, but if you think you're going to get a sort-of Malcolm Gladwell take on siblings, you're going to be disappointed (as I was). Kluger spends too much time on personal anecdotes, and he isn't a good enough writer to mine and deliver the most interesting stuff from the science and studies he discusses. Also, the narrator's voice sounds too much like a haughty game show announcer. interesting and infomative Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This book was recommended to me by a co-worker with 2 young children. My kids are grown but it did a good job of explaining the interactions I have observed over the years What does Pete Larkin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? As with many audio books the format brings the story to life . He speaks in a conversational tone that seems to mirror the author's thoughts. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes

Now this small book goes a step further, encouraging fathers to pass this insight on to their children. It is not by accident, contends John Eldredge, that little boys dream of being heroes and little girls dream of being rescued by a prince. It is woven into the very fiber of the sexes. Men struggle with this most pivotal role, and Eldredge's writing is the affirmation and encouragement each man needs. Eldredge gives fathers a look inside both themselves and their sons and daughters, encouraging them to give their children permission to be who God designed them to be. ©2007 John Eldredge (P)2008 Oasis Audio Members Reviews: I have what it takes!!! Would you listen to You Have What it Takes again? Why? Yes. Have to be reminded about your worth from time to time What about the narrators performance did you like? It was good Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Not really- its educational Any additional comments? John Eldrege is a master on the subject of relationships

Title: Raising Freethinkers Subtitle: A Practical Guide for Parenting Beyond Belief Author: Dale McGowan, Molleen Matsumura, Amanda Metskas, Jan Devor Narrator: Denice Stradling Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Praised by Newsweek as a "compelling read" and Library Journal as "accessible and down-to-earth", Dale McGowans Parenting Beyond Belief offered freethinking parents everywhere a compassionate introduction to raising caring, ethical children without religious guidance. Now, for the more than 40 million people in the United States who identify themselves as nonreligious, Raising Freethinkers offers solutions to the unique challenges secular parents face and provides specific answers to common questions, as well as over 100 activities for both parents and their children. This book covers every important topic nonreligious parents need to know to help their children with their own moral and intellectual development, including advice on religious-extended-family issues, death and life, secular celebrations, wondering and questioning, and more. Complete with reviews of books, DVDs, curricula, educational toys, and online resources relevant to each chapter topic, Raising Freethinkers helps parents raise their children with confidence. Members Reviews: There has got to be a better way ! Is there anything you would change about this book? Yes, I would NOT read off 100 different web sites. I would have them all as links in a pdf that was issued as auxiliary material to the audiobook, and then just have them referenced in that pdf. Instead of: "Eych Tee Tee Pee colon foward slash, forward slash, stupid dot org, forward slash, annoying, forward slash, got underscore, to, underscore, be, underscore, a, underscore, better, underscore, way, underscore, dot Eych Tee, Em, El.", Instead it would just be: "Web Link number 16 in your pdf" and the flow of the reading would not come to a screeching halt. Any additional comments? Good subject, and good recommendations. Buy it in another format. I bet the Kindle version has active links. print or e-book would be a better experience. good content for humanist parenting, but there are many references to visual lists and hyperlinks that don't convey audibly very well. This book is outstanding! Wish I read it years ago. A MUST BUY! I was skeptical in getting this book at first. Now I wish I would had this years ago. As a father picking up a parenting book it's not the easiest decision to make and takes time for going through reviews and having to do research. I can honestly say I'm completely satisfied and happy I've had the opportunity to have this book in my library. This book is excellent in so many ways that I will be purchasing it again and again to have on my shell as a hard copy for myself as well as giving them as gifts! An awesome book, even more awesome parenting book! This is a must buy for any parent. No seriously, it is a HIGHLY recommended parenting book! Great advice!! I am so impressed with this book! It's exactly what I was looking for. The suggestions are easy to incorporate, the author explains why something works or doesn't...absolutely perfect for me and my family. Great book, but a bit confusing in audio Any additional comments? This audiobook stresses the importance of knowing the difference between religion knowledge and endoctrination.

Beyond the Sling Audiobook by Mayim Bialik

Title: Beyond the Sling Subtitle: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way Author: Mayim Bialik Narrator: Emily Durante Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-13-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Mayim Bialik was the child star of the popular 1990s TV sitcom Blossom, but she definitely didn't follow the typical child-star trajectory. Instead, Mayim got her Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA, married her college sweetheart, and had two kids. Mayim then did what many new moms do - she read a lot of books, talked with other parents, and she soon started questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom she heard about the "right" way to raise a child. That's when she turned to attachment parenting, a philosophy and lifestyle popularized by well-known physicians like Dr. William Sears and Dr. Jay Gordon. To Mayim, attachment parenting's natural, child-led approach not only felt right emotionally, it made sense intellectually and instinctually. She found that when she followed her intuition and relaxed into her role as a mother instead of following some rigid parenting script, both she and her children thrived. Drawing on both her experience as a mother and her scientific background, Mayim explores the major tenets of attachment parenting, including: Mayim describes the beauty, simplicity, and purposefulness of attachment parenting, and how it has become the guiding principle for her family. Much more than a simple how-to parenting guide, Beyond the Sling shows us that the core principles underlying attachment parenting are universal and can be appreciated no matter how you decide to raise your child. Critic Reviews: "At once conversational, informative, and progressive, this book should be compulsory reading for anyone who has even considered becoming a parent." (Ricki Lake) Members Reviews: not really for me What did you like best about Beyond the Sling? What did you like least? I really like attachment parenting. This book, however, made it sound like "your life will be nothing but kids 24/7 and your marriage and friends will have to wait until your kids are teenagers if they want any of your attention". I'm all about baby wearing, breastfeeding, cosleeping, but when she started talking about elimination communication and not sleeping in the same bed as your spouse for years, she lost me. What did you like best about this story? I will give her this, she's comes off as non-judgemental. She tells you that this is the way she does it, but she knows it's not for everyone. She gives good birth, breastfeeding, and baby wearing advice. Was Beyond the Sling worth the listening time? Yes, the parts that weren't extreme, I took something home from. Even the extreme parts, I learned something from. Enjoyable & non-judgemental Listened to this while pregnant and got a lot of good information and ideas about how I would like myself & husband to raise our children. Probably won't implement every idea, i.e. still skeptical about elimination communication, but still enjoyed hearing about the idea of it. Written in a very down to earth style. Loved it The book gave me an explanation as to why I kept insisting on some parenting decisions (that felt so right to me ) even though they seemed unpopular with some family members' thoughts about how my child should be raised. I am glad I stumbled upon this book.

Teaming up with two award-winning teachers who well know the problems of our faltering school system, Faber and Mazlish adapt their unique, time-tested communication strategies to the specific concerns of the classroom. Once again using the dramatically effective "dialogue" technique (what to say and how and when to say it) that has made their work famous worldwide, they illustrate how to use this method to help kids handle the schoolwork and behavioral and peer problems that interfere with the learning process. Members Reviews: Too much abridgement I'm a big fan of this series of books, but this abridged version just didn't have enough meat on it. I wish I'd bought the paperback instead. Audio volumes wye irregular I did not like the different volumes the program took when changing in between different voices. the story itself is good for teachers, not necessarily for parents wanting to homeschool. Awesome insights I have an amazing 6 year old. She can do so many things, but when she shuts down on me it over. This book has given me some things to work on. I am learning better ways to communicate and have her actually speak back to me without screaming or disrespect. . The paths they have given are great opportunities to get your kids talking. Enriching dramatization Excellent entertaining story form format with examples and interacted dialogues to help you master how to talk to kids. Perfect for parents with children in school This book is full of great insights into the mind of children, and how hard it is to be a teacher. I know this will help me be a better parent and better at relating to my children's teachers.

Adopted Audiobook by Kelley Nikondeha

Title: Adopted Subtitle: The Sacrament of Belonging in a Fractured World Author: Kelley Nikondeha Narrator: Jessica Schell Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-17 Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Adoption is one of the most radically inclusive aspects of God's kingdom. All of us belong to God's family - Jesus as God's son and the rest of us as his adopted children. In Adopted Kelley Nikondeha explores how the Christian concept of adoption into God's family can broaden our sense of belonging. Drawing on her own story as both an adopted child and an adoptive mother, Nikondeha invites listeners to a rich, biblically grounded understanding of adoption that reframes the way we perceive family, friends, and those in need of rescue. As Nikondeha unpacks the implications of adoption - and especially its potential to cross socioeconomic and ethnic boundaries - she offers new ways to approach conversations about family, adoption, connection, and the mystery of what it means to belong. Members Reviews: Beautiful reflections on our identity as Adopted Ones As an adoptive parent this book hit especially close to home. Beautiful reflections on our identity as Adopted Ones, grafted in to God's universal, eternal family. I love this book I love this book! As an adoptive mom and also someone who deeply cares about the state of orphan care around the world, I can't think of a better theological read. Deep. Insightful. Great stories. Deep thoughts on adoption Kelley Nikondeha, an adoptee and an adoptive mother, tells her story of adoption and offers reflections on adoption in the aptly named Adopted:The Sacrament of Belonging in a Fractured World. Adoption is not only a lifestyle choice for families and individuals, but is reflective of our relationship with God and the body of Christ. In the biblical message, "we belong by believing, not by biology." Paul writes of our adoption as sons and daughters, which Nikondeha ties to the Greco-Roman view of adoption, through which the elite would "secure succession, legacy, and inheritance." Nikondeha explores a theological view of adoption, interwoven with her own family's experiences and, more broadly, adoption as the rescue of orphans and growth of a family. Adoption speaks to the larger body, as a testimony of inclusion. "Adoption isn't only for or about orphans. Adoption is about enacting shalom for all of us." The question to ask in adoption is "How might we best contribute to God's shalom initiative? We have in common the biblical imperative to increase the well-being not only of our families, but of our communities." Adopted has moments of inspiration and insight, although it felt at times like a stream of consciousness. Rather than read it straight through, it might be better enjoyed, at least by me, in little chunks. I just didn't enjoy her style. Though she wandered far astray from what most of us normally think about when we think about adoption, she inspired me to think more broadly about my own family's adoption experience and to expand my view of family. Like Nikondeha and her family, who have experienced chronic illness, loss, and redemption, my family, "so full of redemption, yearns for more.

Happy Kids: The Secrets to Raising Well-Behaved, Contented Children Audiobook by Cathy Glass

Title: Happy Kids: The Secrets to Raising Well-Behaved, Contented Children Author: Cathy Glass Narrator: DeNica Fairman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 08-03-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A fresh and practical guide to successfully managing children's behaviour - from babies to young adults. Cathy Glass has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during this time fostering more than 50 children as well as bringing up three of own. Many of these children have had severe behavioural difficulties and have come to Cathy as a last resort, when their parents or carers were no longer able to cope. Drawing on a combination of years of training and extensive personal experience, in this comprehensive guide, Cathy passes on her tried and tested methods for guiding, nurturing and disciplining children. Approaching child development chronologically, this book guides you through Cathy's incredibly simple and effective 3Rs technique: Request, Repeat and Reassure. Within this framework, Cathy addresses a host of childcare issues, including, amongst others, why children misbehave and what parents can do to the change this, how diet can affect children's behaviour, what parents can do to avoid sibling rivalry, and how to spot and address the behavioural symptoms of special needs such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD and bipolar. Applicable to all age groups - from newborn babies to young adults - Happy Kids is a clear and concise guide to raising confident, well-behaved and happy children. Members Reviews: Great Book This book was extremely simple and straightforward. I really liked how much detail Cathy went into and the examples she provided. She organized the book by chronological child ages (first talking about infants and ending with young adults). Her suggestions seemed very easy to follow. Cathy even included information for teachers and other professionals who work with children. I personally wish she would have talked a little bit more about fostering in particular and the specific issues that children from the system face, but I understand she was making a parenting book for the general public. Not everything in this book was new, but it had great "common sense" information for struggling parents. Again, I really appreciated how long the book was and all the detail she provided. Five Stars Thank you! great book Really like tis book it bas some really good ideas in it. Five Stars This works like a charm. It takes effort but is so worth the effort. Commonsense Advice Happy Kids is a compendium of common sense advice on how to bring up children to be well-behaved and happy using Cathy Glass's 3 Rs technique. The author has written in a clear style with wit and humour. The advice is drawn from years of experience of bringing up children both her own and ones she has fostered. Some of the foster children had serious behavioural problems when they came to her and the book has a chapter devoted to turning around these problem children. Although Cathy Glass has written the book from her personal experience I am sure that a lot of research also went into the writing. Happy Kids is thoroughly recommended for anyone who has responsibility for children.
