Every family experiences power struggles, but these daily tugs of war are not inevitable. In Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka presents real strategies for getting to the root of the emotions and needs that can create daily hassles. But power struggles aren't just about winning and losing. They provide rich opportunities for learning how to deal with strong emotions and for parents and children to solve problems together. Hard as it may seem in the heat of battle, conflict really does present an opportunity to connect with your child. ©1999 Mary Sheedy Kurcinka; (P) 1999 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. Members Reviews: Great Book! This is a great book & highly recommended. It really helps to put into perspective how children don't know what to do with the strong emotions they all have and helps you help your child. Once you understand your childs emotions & can help them to understand them, you will greatly reduce power struggles as well as general conflict. I recommend this book to all my friends. Emotional Coaching This is a practical book with good lessons that can be put to immediate use. I particularly liked the chapters on recognizing temperaments and personality styles. This book changed how I view power struggles in general and reinforced my parenting communication goals. I will listen to this again. Abridged version? We had a hard copy of this book at home and thought this was the same, but the audiobook seems to be an abridged version. I didn't see that noted anywhere before selecting it. I feel like Audible took me for a ride. Right when I needed it! I am so grateful to have found this book. A must for busy, stressed parents

The Intentional Legacy Audiobook by David McAlvany

McAlvany Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-17 Publisher: Brown Thompson Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Will your children value their legacy? The history of the world is the story of great financial, cultural and ethical legacies built in one generation, only to be squandered by second and third generations who were unwilling and unprepared for the roles and responsibilities that accompany them. It is a problem that troubles wealth managers, social theorists, and, of course, parents. Solving the problem requires intentionality the process of careful thought and preparation concerning the most critical details that will shape your family and its future. To be intentional is to decide that you will be self-conscious about the way you live your life and shape the legacy you hope to bequeath to the next generations. In The Intentional Legacy, David McAlvany brings a fresh perspective to this old subject. Drawing from more than 50 years of experience in a multigenerational wealth management firm, as well as his own personal failures and successes, David presents a strategy for reverse engineering your life. Most importantly, he presents a redemptive ethic for family prosperity based on love, forgiveness, and non-contingent relationships. Members Reviews: superb really enjoyed it and lots of biblical references and super grounded in the redeeming word of God Part Self Help/Part Autobiography/Part Finance What did you love best about The Intentional Legacy? I have listened to David McAlvany's, McAlvany Weekly Commentary, podcast every Wednesday for many years. I enjoy his views about investing, markets and the guests he interviews. This book was more about how he has built his life and the adversity he has overcome to become successful in his life by his own definition of success rather than by just making billions for himself and his clients. Some personal finance advice and family financial and wealth building strategies are built into the stories David talks about, but he shares many entertaining and valuable life stories in the book. David may not be the billionaire hedge fund manager, but David has focused on making sure other parts of his life are in good shape besides only focusing on maximizing how successful his 2nd generation family business is in his lifetime. This book talks about health and happiness in other areas of life besides just being rich with a lot of money. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Intentional Legacy? All of the obstacles David has had to overcome and deal with in life to achieve a happy family life. What about David S. McAlvanys performance did you like? I have enjoyed listening to the McAlvany Weekly Commentary podcast for many years so this book was refreshing to hear David discuss his personal life more than just a book about investing and wealth building. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I could have. I found this book inspiring having read dozens of other self help books and found them useful. Any additional comments? If you listen to the McAlvany Weekly Commentary routinely you would expect David's book to be about wealth building, investing, business and personal finance since David is an eloquent speaker and a master of these strategies. However, it was nice hearing more about David's personal life and the valuable life lessons he's learned and the adversities he's had to overcome to become the man that he is today.

Members Reviews: Wonderful! All I can say is this audiobook is so helpful! If you have a prodigal, get this audiobook! Can't stomach the narrator! While the content might have been worthwhile, I wouldn't know since I couldn't get very far in this audiobook due to the mechanical narration. It put me to sleep!

Title: Blending Families Successfully Subtitle: Helping Parents and Kids Navigate the Challenges So That Everyone Ends Up Happy Author: George Glass Narrator: Brian Troxell Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: According to the National Center for Health Statistics, less than half of the people who get married in the United States remain with their first spouse, and less than 50 percent of children grow up with both biological parents. In short, we live in a society of blended families. Everyone who survives a divorce and enters a new family is vulnerable. George Glass, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist, has designed an audiobook to help parents understand the challenges of beginning new lives with blended families, and to help their children make the necessary adjustments. He explains how to approach unavoidable dilemmas when they occur and offers invaluable lessons about the link between divorce and issues of self-esteem, depression, substance abuse, and relationship failures that often result from the breakup of a family. Gathered from his years in practice and his own personal experience as a member of a blended family, Glass provides practical solutions to everyday problems. Blending a family, Glass explains, is a process, which requires patience. It can take a long time to develop trust, acceptance, and a willingness to overlook transgressions that in the beginning can cause tension. Each chapter offers specific advice to help blended family members improve their communication skills and ease the transitions from separate households into a larger, combined community. Taken together with a steady dose of "Dos and Don'ts", this book provides an inspiring toolkit for families in need. Members Reviews: meh predictable and repetitive... nothing innovative... but affirming wisdom for anyone seeking to blend families. left me wanting more. Excellent book Very helpful and informative It covered many topics and situations that I had not thought about.

The Informed Parent Audiobook by Tara Haelle, Emily Willingham PhD

Title: The Informed Parent Subtitle: A Science-Based Resource for Your Childs First Four Years Author: Tara Haelle, Emily Willingham PhD Narrator: Pam Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In the era of questionable Internet "facts" and parental oversharing, it's more important than ever to find credible information on everything from prenatal vitamins to screen time. The good news is that parents and parents-to-be no longer need to rely on an opinionated mother-in-law about whether it's OK to eat sushi in your third trimester, an old college roommate for sleep-training "rules", or an online parenting group about how long you should breastfeed (there's a vehement group for every opinion). Credible scientific studies are out there - and they're bottom lined in this book. The ultimate resource for today's science-minded generation, The Informed Parent was written for those who prefer facts to friendly advice and who prefer to make up their own minds based on the latest findings as well as their own personal preferences. Science writers and parents themselves, authors Tara Haelle and Emily Willingham have sifted through thousands of research studies on dozens of essential topics and distill them in this essential and engaging book. Critic Reviews: "The book shines with clear explanations of the reasoning behind common hospital practices such as labor induction, vitamin K shots, and taking Apgar scores, including up-to-date summaries of the sometimes overwhelming data surrounding giving birth and infant care choices. Subjects of controversy, such as allergies and sleep training, receive in-depth, scientifically minded treatment." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A must read for first time parents, a great "continuing education" for seasoned parents When you are the mother of a large family, it's easy to be skeptical about how much you are going to learn from any new book about babies. This book is, beyond a doubt, an exception to that rule. Ms. Haelle and Dr. Willingham do a phenomenal job covering a breadth of topics that is nearly overwhelming. From drinking in pregnancy to home birth and beyond, the authors take the most important points present in the literature and make them accessible to the savvy parent who wants more information than is often given. If there was one improvement I would have suggested, I feel that the authors could have encouraged greater wariness regarding home birth. As someone whose home birth midwife committed negligence, I wish that more detail had been given in terms of properly vetting care providers. However it is one area of disagreement in an otherwise excellent book. Dispelling myths about pregnancy and raising a child Note: I received a pre-release copy of this book, on which this review is based. It is possible that there have been some editorial or other changes in the released version. There are innumerable myths and tropes about raising children. My mother used to tell me to not go into the pool until 30 minutes (or some random number) after I ate; and she always told me I'd catch the flu or a cold if I didn't put on a jacket during winter. Of course, neither are science based, and neither are "facts." But those were innocuous little myths. I don't like being all that cold, so putting on a coat isn't the worst thing ever. Unfortunately, some myths about parenting and raising children are dangerous.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 150 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: You'll learn: Members Reviews: Should be Positive Discipline: Age 4 and Beyond I was hoping for some positive discipline techniques that would work for my two year old, but the author mainly focused on kids around four years old and a little older. I don't know if this is because this "book" was a lecture and the author had to mainly focus on answering the audiences questions, or what, but I was very dissapointed. The sound quality was poor as well. I had to constantly switch from turning the volume down and up, because the speaker was extremely loud, and the audience members who were asking questions were extremely low. The author did have some good advice and techniques for older kids, but overall, I was not a fan of this audiobook. the picture is misleading I thought I was buying the book. Instead this is a lecture given by Jane Nelsen. The content is ok, but I am disappointed that this was not the book. The picture is the same as the one in the book with the same title (and yes, I understand the description said it was a lecture, but I didn't read it). So the problem is really with Audible - use a different picture for pete's sake! GOOD - but not great This is an audio of a lecture/ presentation, so some of the audience questions are difficult for me to hear. I did find some of the information useful and will try to find a hard copy of this authors work (library or used) to see how the book(s) compare to the audio. Not a book The information here is amazing, but this is not an audiobook, it's just a recording of a Q&A seminar. People are asking questions from the audience, so there is long periods of silence and other oddities of listening to a live performance. I wouldn't have picked it up if I knew it wasn't a book. A new understanding of children and disipline. A new outlook on understanding my children and why they behave the way they do and how what I do effects who they become

What if you could ask a doctor for advice? Or another mother? Or better yet a doctor who is also a mother! The Mommy MD Guide to Your Baby's First Year does exactly that. It's filled with tips that doctors who are also mothers use for their own families. They're experts - squared! The second book in our Mommy MD Guides book series, The Mommy MD Guide to Your Baby's First Year, is filled with tips that doctors who are also mothers use for their own families during their babies' first years. To create it, we spoke with more than 60 doctors who are also mothers; we call them Mommy MD Guides. We spoke with many Mommy MD Guides who are still in the trenches with their babies. Some of them were even pregnant when we talked. We also spoke with Mommy MD Guides whose babies are grown up with babies of their own. They are Grammy MD Guides! Combined, these physicians have centuries of experience as doctors, and among them they have 146 children. The 900+ reassuring, trusted, and often even humorous tips in this book are presented in the Mommy MD Guides own words, and each tip is clearly attributed to the doctor who lived it. The Mommy MD Guide to Your Baby's First Year offers tips on both the challenges and also the celebrations of parenting. You will discover how Mommy MD Guides made it through pesky parenting challenges such as Members Reviews: Narrator annoying The narrator over pronounces word as if plucked from a yogurt commercial where they say "cReamy yogURt" in a sensual, breathy way. Book itself will set first time parents mind at ease. If you don't mind the narrator it's ok Outdated info. If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? A waste of time. Get a more current, well researched book. I gave up on this after repeatedly hearing bad advice that is contrary to what parents are being taught today. Not suited as an audiobook This book may be excellent to read in print, however IMO is not suitable as an audiobook. There's a reason why it's 15 hours long and it's not just quality content. There's is a frustrating need to fully introduce every expert before they pass on their advice. It will go something like this: "Dr Elizabeth Smith, specialist in paediatric medicine and current visiting consultant to the Smithfield Children's Hospital in Smithfield and Lakeview Medical Center, Lakeview, mother of two children and co-author of "why kids cry" had this to say....." Then the good doctor's tip will just be a sentence or two long before they move on to the next long introduction. This is the kind of thing you could skim in a printed book, but as an audiobook the listener has to painstakingly trudge through each introduction, which is largely irrelevant and feels like it makes up 70% of the book. There's also an odd tendency throughout to make commercial recommendations, at times sounding like a radio ad. This is along the lines of "Babybees nursing support pillows are soft and comfortable, developed by experts and filled with quality fabrics.

Sibling quarrels, bedtime issues, temper tantrums, whining, willfulness, school, tattling: If kids do it and parents face it, this book aims to address itwith a healthy dose of humor and down-to-earth practicality. Members Reviews: Great advice! Excellent advice; very practical and full of helpful suggestions. Drawn from real professional and parental experience. Plus, an entertaining style of reading. Awesome! I bought this when feeling the mommy guilt pile on after reading some nonsense article about "time out" being bad for your kids' brains. This was the perfect anecdote. Dr. Ray brilliantly advises how to lovingly raise children of character. Just wish that I had a copy in print as well. I know I will want to return to this as my daughter grows. Solid, common sense for parents Dr. Ray is so on point. I discovered him from EWTN Catholic radio, and from there, I found his books. He is a Father of NINE himself, and hes the real deal. I have read and listened to so much conflicting parental advice in the last few years when dealing with my two 4 year-old twins...its really been a minefield. I cant tell you how many children psychologist websites I have wept over because I thought, oh no ...Ive done the wrong thing with my kid here... and here...and here .. I would drive myself nuts with guilt at the thought that I wasnt doing the exact perfect parental thing in each and every situation in dealing with disciplining my children. Its so refreshing to hear Dr. Ray REMIND me of what I already instinctively know...That I have WAY more common sense in dealing with my kids than I think I do ( and that I should stop second-guessing myself in every little move I make in dealing with them.) He reminds me that no one is better equipped to handle my children than I am , since I know and love them best. Its really just as simple as that. Dont let the so called experts (many of whom dont even have children of their own) make you feel inadequate as a parent and disciplinarian or make you feel as if youre doing something wrong by imposing compassionate yet sometimes firm guidelines for behavior within your household. If youve been having problems with your kids acting up like I was, then this book will help. It taught me that sometimes you need to look inward as to how youve been handling them and the problem behaviors they are exhibiting. Sometimes we as parents are just simply yelling or talking too much to them about bad behavior And why its unacceptable to us, but we are not really imposing any disciplinary action as consequence to the bad behavior -and that is what is really key in rectifying it. See? We just forget common sense. This book was a very easy and wonderful listen... in fact, Im actually going to go back and listen again, chapter by chapter, this time with a notepad and pen in hand to jot down all the great ideas that Dr. Ray gives for every specific type of bad behavior type of situation you can imagine! He has even given me confidence in myself in how I will plan to deal with my twins as they become (gulp) teenagers! Highly recommended. A must-read for every parent Common sense discipline that every parent should know and practice.

Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson: Executive Summary by FlashBooks Original book description: In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the best-selling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with 12 key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain - and make accessible - the new science of how a child's brain is wired and how it matures. The "upstairs brain", which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child's brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

Title: The Children of Now Subtitle: Crystalline Children, Indigo Children, Star Kids, Angels on Earth, and the Phenomenon of Transitional Children Author: Meg Blackburn Losey Ph.D. Narrator: Alexandria Stevens Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-12 Publisher: New Page Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The Children of Now is a groundbreaking work that shows that a large number of kids come into the world bearing inherent gifts that are beyond strange - they are telepathic, understand subtle energies, and/or have amazing psychic abilities. Many of them remember where they were before they came to Earth and often can describe past lives. Many doctors mislabel them as autistic, ADD, ADHD, or suggest other behavioral difficulties. More than half the time, these doctors are wrong. The Children of Now are not defective - they are differently functional. We are doing ourselves and the world a great disservice by not acknowledging these amazing children and their special gifts. A surprising percentage of these children carry within themselves wisdom far beyond most adults. The phenomenon is very real, and more and more of these highly evolved children enter our world every day. The Children of Now offers not only genuine stories of many children who have brought amazing talents into our world, but also practical, easy solutions to assist society in supporting and nurturing these gifted - not defective - children and their families, rather than labeling, segregating, and condemning them. Fascinating to anyone with an open mind, and life-illuminating for parents with these incredible kids, Meg offers detailed answers derived from counseling real kids in real families. The Children of Now is a must-listen for every parent, teacher, caregiver, and child advocate. In it you'll discover: Members Reviews: Very on point Beautiful. Definitely gave great insight regarding not only my son, but me as well. I enjoyed this thoroughly. stimulates to open your eyes for the new world If you could sum up The Children of Now in three words, what would they be? Spiritualheart touchingeye opening What other book might you compare The Children of Now to and why? This book is comparable with, Keepers of the Garden, in which is a discription with someone who is a star seed and is living his first live on earth. The whole book is a dialogue with this person while he is in the state of hypnosis, he tells about his other worldly experiences and how it is for him to be reincarnated on this planet.In the book Children of now the author explains about the childeren who reincarnate into this world with a massage of love. These children are most of them childeren of the stars. Have you listened to any of Alexandria Stevenss other performances before? How does this one compare? No I havent hear any of her onther performances Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? The author is very special and is able to communicate telepathicly with the children of the now. This topic is touching me very much and I would wish to be able to do the same. Any additional comments? The purpose of this book is to inform people about this children to give an other perspective of them. And to help bringing to the light that these children are here with a great purpose to heal the planet. This book is stimulating to start helping these children. Very informative, very interesting A well read book about the children to come. Really good book to help you understand AND welcome the children with such special talents. Never finished I couldn't get past the readers voice.

The Most Important Year Audiobook by Suzanne Bouffard

Title: The Most Important Year Subtitle: Pre-Kindergarten and the Future of Our Children Author: Suzanne Bouffard Narrator: Therese Plummer Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening look inside pre-K in America and what it will take to give all children the best start in school possible. At the heart of this groundbreaking book are two urgent questions: What do our young children need in the earliest years of school, and how do we ensure that they all get it? Cutting-edge research has proven that early childhood education is crucial for all children to gain the academic and emotional skills they need to succeed later in life. Children who attend quality pre-K programs have a host of positive outcomes including better language, literacy, problem solving, and math skills down the line, and they have a leg up on what appears to be the most essential skill to develop at age four: strong self-control. But even with this overwhelming evidence, early childhood education is at a crossroads in America. We know that children can and do benefit, but we also know that too many of our littlest learners don't get that chance - millions of parents can't find spots for their children, or their preschoolers end up in poor quality programs. With engrossing storytelling, journalist Suzanne Bouffard takes us inside some of the country's best pre-K classrooms to reveal the sometimes surprising ingredients that make them work - and to understand why some programs are doing the opposite of what is best for children. It also chronicles the stories of families and teachers from many backgrounds as they struggle to give their children a good start in school. This book is a call to arms when we are at a crucial moment and perhaps on the verge of a missed opportunity: We now have the means and the will to have universal pre-kindergarten, but we are also in grave danger of not getting it right. Members Reviews: Cutting edge in Education This is a brilliant and highly necessary book for ALL of us. We all raise children and Dr. Bouffard's book is filled with high level research that guides us through the most important deveopmental period of a child's life. Bouffard's written is clear and accessible and includes ideas, suggestions and activities. This is an important book. Must read for preschool teachers. Such an interesting read to see how pre-K/K programs across the country are revamping their approaches to better teach kids. Would love to see more preschool teachers read this book. This book does a good job of showing how some preschools are great and now others are using concerning teaching methods. This book does a good job of showing where some preschool programs are doing well (in-depth on how) and where some are doing things that are not good (with studies cited and experts interviewed on why these practices should be discouraged). It covers diversity, financial, and other issues that come into play with preschools. I do have a problem with the idea presented in the title that pre-K is the most important year. And there seems to be a huge amount of pressure to have kids in a great pre-K class not only when they are 4, but even for all 3 year olds. I get that some kids need extra support that schools can provide, but to imply that kids' lives are damaged forever if they miss out on pre-K or only go for one year seems excessive. One parent is mentioned in the book as sending their child to preschool for "only" 3 days a week, as if they are failing their child by not having them in pre-K 5 days a week.

In her inimitable, straight-shooting style, Dr. Laura entreats parents to involve themselves in their children's hearts, minds, and souls, to cherish and protect them, and to commit to the essential tast of teaching them right from wrong. She acknowledges that parents don't get much support today from neighbors or public and private institutions, but she urges mothers and fathers to work even harder to counteract the prevailing culture of selfishness and irresponsibility. Parenthood by Proxy covers all aspects of parenting, from childbearing to discipline, from multiple families to being role models. Dr. Laura also tackles such cultural and societal concerns as abortion, modern sexuality, drug and alcohol use, violence, accountability, and a child's right to privacy. Parenthood by Proxy is a passionate and provocative summation of the perils of parenting and a road map to safety for America's families. Members Reviews: Loved it... Yet, another classic by Dr. Laura!!! I recommend all her publications in relationships and family.

In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms Audiobook by Laura Schlessinger

Title: In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms Author: Laura Schlessinger Narrator: Laura Schlessinger Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 04-07-09 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Who are they? They are the stay-at-home moms. These are women who know in their hearts that staying home to raise their children is the right choice for the whole family. Some do it from the outset of their marriages, while others make the difficult transition from career-driven women to homemakers. Either way, it is a choice that is incredibly rich and rewarding, not to mention challenging. Now Dr. Laura, building on principles developed during her long career as a licensed marriage and family therapist, provides a wealth of advice and support, as well as compassion and inspiration, to women as they navigate the wonders and struggles of being stay-at-home moms. Learn how: Editorial Reviews: The stay-at-home-mom choir will love this affirming encouragement from the irrepressible Dr. Laura. Narrating quickly and with the clarity of a radio veteran, she sounds supremely confident in her opinions, and impatient as ever with anyone who see things differently. As she does in most of her writing, she's trying to change one of the Western world's goofier family practices - sending infants to daycare so parents can work to buy things they don't need. It's a mixed blessing to hear Dr. Laura's take on this familiar argument, which she illustrates with concise personal stories contributed by her fans. Though her intensity and sarcasm will irritate some, she knows how to shape a point of view so that it has clarity and impact. Members Reviews: Awesome! I love Dr Laura and all that she stands for. I am a SAHM to 3 beautiful children for almost 8 years now, everything she says is on point. I know a few moms who would really benefit from this book. As for the one bad review I read, they stated the book has no "statistics". What kind of statistics are you looking for? Everything Dr Laura speaks about is common sense and truth. For anyone to not like this book is strange to me. But either way 5 stars all the way! I chose to listen to the audio version bc I don't really have time to sit n read so after putting the kids to bed I put head phones on and listened and loved every second. The day b4 I was losing my patience and this really helped make me see things in a new fresh light. Thank you Dr Laura, if only there was more people like you to encourage moms, the world today would be a better, safer place. Homeschooling Stay at Home Mom Fantastic book. A must read for every SAHM. Give this as a gift if you know anyone who has children or is about to have. great Doctor laura is straight forward, opinionated and humerous. Her voice is great to listen to- very expressive and interesting and the content is interesting and helpfull. After reading this book I am now a big dr laura fan and have listened to everything I could get my ears on. A great reminder for women who are (or want to be) full time mothers and the families that support them that what they do is important, valuble and can not be replaced! So annoying This was painful to get all the way through. The emphasis and paused are just obnoxious. Her tone throughout is condescending and mocking. I agree with most of her points even. But still I found this so judgmental. I thought because it was written by a doctor it would have facts and stats about the benefits of stay at home moms. But it's just the author's whining and little stories from other moms.

Sticky Faith Audiobook by Chap Clark, Kara E. Powell

Title: Sticky Faith Subtitle: Everyday Ideas to Build Lasting Faith in Your Kids Author: Chap Clark, Kara E. Powell Narrator: Jay Charles Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-11 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Most parents would give anything to anchor their children with a vibrant faith that "sticks" and continues to mature long-term. Yet despite this deep desire, research indicates that approximately 40-50% of high-school seniors drift from their faith after graduation. In response to this problem, the Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) has launched the College Transition Project, a national longitudinal study following 400 high-school seniors during their first three years in college. This provocative and needed research is geared to spark a movement that empowers parents, churches, leaders, and adults of all ages to develop robust and long-term faith in kids. Members Reviews: Sticky Faith is awesome! Best book I have ever read on Youth Ministry! So helpful and encouraging to me. Sound advice, holy wisdom, Godly social science... a good representation of the current approach to teen faith formation in Reformation and Evangelical communities. Brings new meaning to "Takes a community!" This book has changed the way I see and think about not just my own children, but my friends' children and especially the teens in my community. I so appreciate the years or dedicated research collected and compiled here. A great (and MUST) read for anyone who has kids, has family members who have kids, have friends who have kids, lives in a community where there are kids present, or attends a church where there are kids in the congregation... pretty much anyone who isn't living under a rock. Reactivates what we know at a gut level What made the experience of listening to Sticky Faith the most enjoyable? We need to be intentional as parents to create a community for our kids to grow in that makes up when and where we cannot, and extends other platforms for our kids to take full advantage of their opportunity for salvation and faith. Great Ideas Yet Unrealistic Ones, Too! Would you try another book from Kara E. Powell and Chap Clark and/or Jay Charles? I would check it out of a library and scan for good ideas from each chapter, but would not own a book by them. Could you see Sticky Faith being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No, this book is more of a sharing of ideas than a story line.

This six-book series is among the best reviewed humor books published today and has been compared to the late greats, Erma Bombeck and Nora Ephron. Delia Ephron said of the fifth book in the series, Have a Nice Guilt Trip, "Lisa and Francesca, mother and daughter, bring you the laughter of their lives once again and better than ever. You will identify with these tales of guilt and fall in love with them and fierce (grand) Mother Mary." This seventh volume will not disappoint, as it hits the humorous and poignant note that fans have come to expect from the beloved mother-daughter duo. Members Reviews: Love, love, love I find these stories light and very relatable. I am in the Midwest with different family makeup but still have that special mother daughter relationship. My mother and I both listen to these stories and laugh about how similar things have happened to us. Highly recommend all of Lisa's books. A fun listen I've enjoyed previous books by Lisa and Francessca and this is no disappointment. The back and forth essays are both honest, gripping and funny. I admire F for sharing about her mugging It must have been awful. This is a quick entertaining listen. Not for newlyweds I enjoyed having short stories to fill idle time, but wasn't always crazy about the topics. I felt like the book was anti marriage and pro divorce. It would be a great book for single women as it shares some dating experiences from the daughter that any young woman can relate to. Wouldn't listen to it again, but don't regret having listened to it in the first place. Giggle worthy and heartfelt I adored the humor and warmth of this mother daughter duo. The book is filled with laugh out loud moments and passages that touch the soul. I will be seeking out more. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY Could not be bothered What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Don't think it's possible. I'm sure it's supposed to be funny etc but I barely made it through the first 15 minutes. Must be me but this is just mind numbing. Has I've Got Sand in All the Wrong Places turned you off from other books in this genre? Yes indeed. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella ? Wouldn't matter. Nit good subject matter.

How Babies Talk Audiobook by Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Roberta Golinkoff

Title: How Babies Talk Subtitle: The Magic and Mystery of Language in the First Three Years of Life Author: Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Roberta Golinkoff Narrator: Kristin Dzuiba Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Two developmental psychologists/language experts offer parents a powerfully insightful guide to how infants - even while in the womb - begin to learn language. Editorial Reviews: In the ever-deepening field of developmental psychology, the ability to learn language - so inherent in humans - still fascinates from a scientific perspective. From more recent realizations, like that fetuses begin to grasp the most rudimentary parts of language while still in the womb, to more established knowledge concerning how a mother tongue is recognized by a young mind, Dr. Kathy Hirsch-Pasek and Dr. Roberta Golinkiff seek to expose you to the beauty of language, from the significance of babbling, to associations between symbols and sounds. Your guide through these intriguing discoveries is performer Kristin Dzuiba who brilliantly narrates this scientific study with excellent sense accessibility. Critic Reviews: "This is a great book...an important addition to any parent's library" (T. Berry Brazelton) Members Reviews: Technical, yet accessible. This was a required text for my First Language Acquisition class, and it was great to have it in audio format so I could "study" during my commute to school. We had other assigned reading material which was much more technical, so this book was nice to go through, as well, because everything is explained so clearly. It was written for parents, but it's still definitely based on the linguistic studies fine on this field, some by this book's authors themselves. I think this should be required reading for all parents. If I have kids, I'll be coming back to it myself. I thought the narrator did a good job, but the place felt ridiculously slow. It sounded a lot more normal at 1.25x the speed, and I listened primarily at 1.5x to save time (which sounded just fine). I think I've listened to this book three times, if you add up the repetitions I've racked up while preparing for quizzes. New Dad Good Info This audiobook contained a lot of really good information. Many chapters contained lots of scientific information which I found useful and gave the book more credibility. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about how babies talk and how they progress from being born through multiple ages. If I had to give one negative critique, I would say the book should have contained more examples. The author was academic at times, therefore, more examples would've been beneficial. Boring Bad performance and very boring to listen to!!!! I Would not recommend new moms to buy this

A college president teaches her daughter, by example, the importance of being a leader who connects with everyone - from the ground up, literally - in an organization. A popular entertainer and former child star urges her daughter to walk in her own truth, to not break glass ceilings if she yearns to nurture a family as a stay-at-home mother or to abandon a career if that's her calling. One of the country's only female police chiefs teaches her daughter the meaning of courage, how to respond to danger, and, more importantly, how not to let fear stop her from experiencing all that life has to offer. A best-selling writer who has deliberated for years on empowering girls wonders if we're unintentionally leading them to believe they can never make mistakes when "resiliency is more important than perfection". Members Reviews: such an amazing book. it was incredibly inspiring. loved every minute! each story was different and incredible. everyone should listen/read it atleast once!! Great Book! I think all women and men should read this book to ensure girls are set to be the future leaders of the world.

In her gentle and reassuring voice, Karen Miller convinces us that ancient and authentic spiritual lessons can be as familiar as a lullaby, as ordinary as pureed peas, and as frequent as a sleepless night. She offers encouragement for the hard days, consolation for the long haul, and the lightheartedness every new mom needs to face the crooked path of motherhood straight on.

Fathers today are more involved than ever. Changing diapers, playing ball, and helping with homework and the crises and joys of childhood, adolescence, and beyond. And the time we spend nurturing our children has a tremendous influence on their lives. Children with active fathers are happier, get better grades, and make better choices. But as protectors and providers, we fathers pay a price: feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our kids and families. How can we juggle fatherhood with the competing demands of modern life and still create a lasting legacy in the world? Create influence, intimacy, and impact. Fatherhood Is Leadership gives you specific strategies to: The Fatherhood Is Leadership movement is about shifting to a conscious, heart-centered, service-oriented, ownership mindset. Use this practical playbook to transform your life from the inside out. Discover for yourself that fatherhood is leadership, and create a life greater than you've ever imagined. Members Reviews: When we consider the stats around family dynamics this is the time for fathers to take heed and lead. "The percentage of children living with only their father increased from 1 to 4 percent" - US Census Nov. 2016 This is an exciting time to read this book. After all, when we consider the stats around family dynamics this is the time for fathers to take heed and lead. This book is an amazing read. As a mother with two boys, I can apply all that Devon shares in his book with them and in my life. It's inspiring, practical and relatable. Devon shares his life lessons and how you can apply those teachings in your life to impact your family and organization. I am excited that this book is being released now to impact The lives of men and families it touches. This is the time to take time to live and lead an extraordinary life!!!! For Fathers who Strive to be Great Leaders in their Families & Communities If you desire to be a better father, leader and even a better friend and man, this book is for you. In this book, Devon shares so much of his experience and what he has learned throughout his journey as a social worker, father and leader in his family and community. He also gives concrete advice and exercises that you can do to reflect on your own experience and where you can improve as a father and leader. Most importantly, this is not some book written by a guru who pretends to have all the answers. Devon is incredibly humble, admits his mistakes and tells you what we can all learn from them. This book reinforces what I have learned recently, which is that leadership does not mean having all the answers and being perfect, leadership means knowing when to be honest, vulnerable and ask for help. Men who can do that, will build closer relationships and more trust with their children, friends and everyone around them. Devon sets a great example with the stories in this book and I greatly admire him for all of it and am glad we shared this book and his lessons with all of us. If you are a father who is open to reflecting on your own mistakes and mindset and who wants to improve to become the best father and leader you can possibly be, then I highly recommend you check out this book.

The Nursing Mother's Companion has been among the best-selling books on breastfeeding for over 30 years, with over 1,000,000 copies sold. It is respected and recommended by professionals, including The International Lactation Consultant Association, T. Berry Brazelton, and The American Academy of Pediatrics, and is well loved by new parents for its encouraging and accessible style. Kathleen Huggins equips breastfeeding mothers with all the information they need to overcome potential difficulties and nurse their babies successfully from the first week through the toddler years or somewhere in between. This fully updated and revised edition provides information on topics such as: This edition opens with a new foreword by Jessica Martin-Weber, creator of the very popular website The Leaky Boob and a new preface by Kelly Bonata, creator of the go-to site KellyMom. These two much-loved authorities speak to the importance of owning an authoritative breastfeeding book that cuts through the jumble of opinions, information, and misinformation on the Web. Now more than ever, The Nursing Mother's Companion is the go-to guide every new mother should have at hand. Members Reviews: informative but could have been shorter I feel some topics were repeated. I had a hard time finishing this book. I think it would have been easier to finish as a physical book where I could have skimmed through some sections. wonderful Lots of great suggestions, support and advice on tricky topics. wish I had access to this book for my other two kids. now I feel better prepared. Great information for 1st time mom or beyond Although a few parts of the book &/or specific phrases are repetitive, the information is great. I'm a third time mom & I wish I had this book my first time round. Good book, great information, & pleasant voice. Detailed and informative. Great narrator Acknowledged the diverse backgrounds of mothers and cultural influences/barriers related to breast feeding. Learned allot from this book. Very usuful book I nursed my oldest son up after two years and my youngest daughter is 10 months. Even though with breastfeeding experience, I bought this book to help me with some questions and encourage me to continue with breastfeeding. It is a very difficult phase, but also very pleasurable for women. I strongly recommend this book for moms who dream of breastfeeding and for those who want to continue breastfeeding. I also recommend for those fathers who want to be more than spectators in breastfeeding, helping moms in their difficulties.

After years of work as a private potty-training coach, Jennifer Nicole is finally ready to reveal her secrets to potty training your child in just three days. Many children are able to learn toilet training in less than a day. Each child is unique, and Jennifer's system is designed to help every child get ready to use the potty. Learn how to: Jennifer also covers everything you need to know to continue your potty success after your long weekend - from trips to the mall to visiting your relatives. This book will teach you everything you need to know to get ready for the great potty-training adventure - from choosing the right tools and strategies all the way through dealing with bed wetting and multiple children. Members Reviews: Good but no night time details I really enjoyed the tips In the book but I wish she went into more night time and nap time details. I also wish she was more age specific misleading title and longer than it needed to be I decided for research purposes to read 5 books on potty training. Of all the books this one had a very misleading title because it's highly an accurate to say a child can be potty trained in 3 days. A child can be taught about the concept of going to the bathroom in 3 days probably but training means accident free. Additionally the book had a lot of fluff and could have been shorter so for a busy parent who is trying to gather some information this book was a little longer than it needed to be. The author at the end also has a pitch to get you to sign up to their website because they are a mother and daughter which is great but there is no expert advice or robust information in this it is mostly a process that somebody learned with them and their friends. other books that discuss how important it is to understand the temperament of your child and your own parenting style and personality are things that will help somebody potty-trained to the style of a child vs just picking one toilet style or another as this author suggests. We started this 3 day method 6 months later It all sounded great. And worked great over the three days, and next three weeks... Then our kid got bored of the sticker rewards, once he lost interest we changed the reward to bubbles, or poppers or whatever other treats to try to keep him motivated. But yeah he just didn't care, so now because I have severe morning sickness and not the tolerance to clean up wees all day everyday - we did in fact put a nappy back on 5 months after we started... But training pants underneath - so he knows when he's wet but the mess is contained. He does take himself to the toilet for poos thank goodness. I mean sure, my kid by all accounts is toilet trained - he knows how to pull his pants up and down. Climb the step at toilet, he empties the potty when done or flushes... He knows what to do and he knows when the urge comes as he was taking himself to the Loo for a while. He knows how to wash his hands. But he only goes when he wants to go now... Or I can leverage him to go with something he wants.

I appreciate the practical applications. I'm not confident that the practical applications will help my child that is not word smart or logic smart in school. I think school is going to be challenge for a little longer. However, I do believe a child that is not word smart or logic smart can go to college and be extremely successful. I appreciate the stories in that and it really made my perspective on it stronger which will only enable me to continually encourage and build up my nature/picture/people smart child. Fascinating and Eye Opening The 8 Great Smarts was an incredibly eye opening book for me. I have 6 children, all very different. After reading this book, I feel like I can better understand, teach, and love each of my children. Thank you, Kathy Koch!

She is expecting it to be her daughter, Riley. But it isn't Riley. It's a woman from the Emergency Duty Team. So begins Casey and Mike's latest fostering challenge - a 15-year-old girl called Keeley who's run away from her long-term foster home 25 miles away. The Jonathan Ross Show has just started when Casey gets the call. She thinks it will be Riley - telling her that her favourite actor is going to be on TV. But it's something far more urgent: a 15-year-old girl who has run away from her foster family and accused her foster father of sexual abuse. The family deny it vehemently, but such an allegation can never be taken lightly, so a new home must be found for Keeley. Keeley is polite, but she's sharp, and she has all the hallmarks of a child who has been in the system a long time and knows how to play it. Whether the allegation is true or not, Casey knows there will be no winners here. If it is true, then a young girl's life has been torn asunder. If not, then the heartache for the family will be surpassed only by the bleak outlook for Keeley. In the short term, it's a case of providing a safe, supportive home for a vulnerable child. But with the dangerous world of the internet at her disposal, it seems this strong-minded youngster has her own ideas of where that safe place should be.... Members Reviews: awesome book I couldn't stop listening to this book til it was done! keeping you on edge! Annoying Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? No, the narrator really got on my nerves.... Would you recommend Groomed to your friends? Why or why not? No see above... Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Kate Lock? Anyone but Kate Lock. Do you think Groomed needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Only if Kate lock didnt read it.

Title: First-Time Dad: The Stuff You Really Need to Know Author: John Fuller Narrator: John Fuller Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-12 Publisher: Fuller Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Perhaps the most powerful influence in the world is that of a dad on his child. Baseball gloves, dirty diapers, tiny little hands, first days of school, daddy-daughter dances, and learner's permits ... and so much more! There's no way you can be ready for it all, but this is when you need to get a bit of a head start. First Time Dad by Focus on the Family ministry veteran (and father of 6) John Fuller lets you in on the stuff you really need to know ... because in just a few months or weeks or days, your life is going to change - forever. So, instead of wondering "oh man, oh man, oh man... what am I going to do now" for 9 months ... listen to this short book (plus it's pretty fun too) and get excited! Dad, your job is critical ... And you can do it. Members Reviews: A Great Refresher for all Dads! This book had a lot of great helpful advice, not only for first-time dad, but for all dads to continue to keep in mind, great practices pertaining to raising their children. It does have a nice Christian overtone (not too heavy though) which I appreciate. The book helps us to steer and guide our children through a lot of the cultural and societal challenges of today. I also really appreciated the last chapter, Blink, in which the author really brings home the point of how fast these parenting years will go by. Here are some great additional chapters as well: - Chapter 5: How to Survive a New Baby - Chapter 6: Loving Your Wife - Chapter 7: Loving Your Babys Mother - Chapter 8: Boys and Girls - Chapter 10: The Very Keys to Your Childs Heart - Chapter 11: Spiritual Information Theres no guarantee that our children will turn out and grow up to be any particular way, but the ideal is to be as engaged, as involved as possible. Of course, its also very important to have a loving family environment in which to have a wonderful spouse that you both can be loving and supportive and the overall care of the children. The author has an excellent chapter on being a supportive spouse as well. I highly recommend this book for parents, especially men, not just as a beginning, but as a refresher throughout the parenting years for your children. Good Advice The author of the book gives some great advice for new dads such as myself. Having been raised a Christian, I didn't mind the Christian references in the book. Even if you're not religiously inclined, I believe you'll find great value in having taken the time to listen to this audiobook. Try to sort out the christianity The book was good and there Whore some good tips In the book. That said, it was too Christian. Thats okay if you are Christian and seek Christian advise. But if you just sort out the things you dont need, its good Too conservative This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Those that want a Christian themed book. What could John Fuller have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? He wrote it for his target audience. I just didn't realize it was so religious when I bought it. That's my fault. Not his. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Well written.

Dear Father, Dear Son Audiobook by Larry Elder

Title: Dear Father, Dear Son Subtitle: Two LivesEight Hours Author: Larry Elder Narrator: Neal Ghant Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 02-12-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Stunning...a wonderful listen...a handbook for life. Those words of advance praise from another celebrated author scarcely convey just how powerfully mesmerizing is the latest book by New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio talk show host Larry Elder. Dear Father, Dear Son is a personal memoir of Elder's troubled - one might even say tortured - relationship with his father, and the astonishing outcome that develops when Elder, at long last, confronts him. Says Elder: A man's relationship with his father - every boy, every man lucky enough to have a father in his life has to figure that out. My own father? I thought I knew him - even though he seldom talked about himself. And what I knew I hated - really, really hated. Cold, ill-tempered, thin-skinned, my father always seemed on the brink of erupting. Scared to death of him, I kept telling myself to find the courage to "stand up to him". When I was 15, I did. After that, said Elder, we did not speak to each other for 10 years. And then we did - for eight hours. The result can't be described. It has to be experienced. As reflected in the book's subtitle - Two Lives...Eight Hours - one extraordinary, all-day conversation between Elder and his long-estranged father utterly transformed their relationship. It is no exaggeration to say the book will likewise transform listeners. Indeed, calling it stunning, Burt Boyar, co-author of the best-selling autobiography on Sammy Davis, Jr., says of Dear Father, Dear Son: "Above all it is a wonderful read. I am tempted to call it a page-turner but in my case I hated to turn every page because that meant I was getting closer to the end and I did not want it to end.... The book is filled with emotion. It is, of course, a handbook for life. I guess it is that above all things. Any kid who reads it and follows the advice of how to live his life just has to come out well." Dear Father, Dear Son is the story of one man discovering a son he never really knew. And of the son finding a man, a friend, a father who had really been there all along. Members Reviews: Fathers and Sons This book had me second guessing my relationship with my own father, and provided a different perspective on motives behind actions and perceived slights. Not that it took the book to point these out, but it was refreshing to see someone else with the same take/epiphany. Regardless of where my relationship with my dad stands, I'm indebted to him for sticking around and being a father. This is a beautiful story of a father and son finally coming to know and understand one another, a story of hard work and overcoming adversity. I loved every minute, and the narration couldn't have fit the story any better. I listened to this back to back, and have shared with many people how much I enjoyed this story and performance. What lovely memories Oh Larry - this journey of yours was so amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us. I remember listening to your shows everyday and especially the Chief Justice on Fridays. Since those days I've become an Elderada and listen religiously! You are so smart and so engaging! Thank you for being you! amazing book I absolutely loved the book.

Teach Your Children Well Audiobook by Madeline Levine

Title: Teach Your Children Well Subtitle: Parenting for Authentic Success Author: Madeline Levine Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-12 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Psychologist Madeline Levine brings together cutting-edge research and thirty years of clinical experience to explode once and for all the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame. Parents, educators, and the media wring their hands about the plight of America's children and teens - soaring rates of emotional problems, limited coping skills, disengagement from learning and yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends. Teach Your Children Well acknowledges that every parent wants successful children. However, until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, impaired children who believe they are only as good as their last performance. Real success is always an inside job, argues Levine, and is measured not by today's report card but by the people our children become 15 or 20 years down the line. Refusing to be diverted by manufactured controversies such as "tiger moms versus coddling moms," Levine confronts the real issues behind the way we push some of our kids to the breaking point while dismissing the talents and interests of many others. She shows us how to shift our focus from the excesses of hyperparenting and the unhealthy reliance on our children for status and meaning to a parenting style that concentrates on both enabling academic success as well as developing a sense of purpose, well-being, connection, and meaning in our children's lives. Teach Your Children Well is a call to action. And while it takes courage to make the changes we believe in, the time has come, says Levine, to return our overwrought families to a healthier and saner version of themselves. Members Reviews: I wish this book had been published years ago As I write this, I am the proud parent of a college freshman, a high school freshman, and a fourth grader. I have found Dr. Levine's observations to be insightful, reasonable, rational, and realistic in so many regards to approaching parenting. Even as I was reading the book, we went through one of the very crises Dr. Levine outlines! More importantly, I have seen so many of the scenarios that Dr. Levine describes either in my own parenting experiences or in those of friends, neighbors, or the school community. I appreciated that the issues were discussed in such a real-life, parent-to-parent manner, as opposed to doctor-to-parent. As Dr. Levine stresses, no one author/book can advise us specifically in regard to our kids, since every child is so unique and different, even within the same family. We need to get to know our own children and what they're up against, and Dr. Levine gives clear and reasonable insight and advice. Parenting kids is such an incredible, miraculous, CHALLENGING job, and we need all the help we can get! Many thanks to Dr. Levine for sharing! The narration was quite good, seemed to have emphasis in all the right places. With the way the book is written, it is a little hard to discern when the narrator is reading a new heading (and thus a change in topic) in the middle of a chapter, or making a statement.

Title: Get Out of My Life Subtitle: But First Can You Drive me and Cheryl to the Mall? Author: Anthony E. Wolf Narrator: Anthony E. Wolf Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-09 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 79 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Dr. Wolf updates his classic blockbuster as times change. In 1991, the first edition of Get Out of My Life became an enormous success, selling over 300,000 copies. The words of Dr. Wolf were so on target that parents wondered if he had placed tape recorders around their homes. But the world has not stood still - in fact, it is changing faster than ever. And while the classic struggles between parents and teenagers still remain, societal changes have brought about many new ones that parents of earlier generations never dreamed of. Today's parents must deal with such "new problems" as their children experimenting with the latest recreational drugs; increased sexual activity at a younger age; the Internet; and above all, a world that seems far less safe than 10 years ago. Dr. Wolf realized the importance of these ever-evolving issues, which is why he has decided to significantly revise Get Out of My Life. Get Out of My Life provides parents with a new understanding of their teenagers so they will look at them in a whole new light, seeing them as young people on a journey to empowerment. And most importantly, he reassures parents that everything will turn out alright. ©1991, 2002 Anthony E. Wolf, Ph. D. (P)2003 Macmillan Audio Members Reviews: not as helpful as I'd hoped he seems to touch on each subject but not enough step by step on how to deal with the problem. he will show examples and then give a very general response or Direction on how to deal with it and then drops the subject. I need more details this just skimmed each subject You are not alone Very helpful. There were times I thought that I was the only one going through tough teenage years. This book explained everything. Goes a long way toward helping parents through Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? YES! What other book might you compare Get Out of My Life to and why? "Hold on to your kids" What about Anthony E. Wolfs performance did you like? It was fine. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not necessarily. It is only 2.5 hours, so it's a compact listen with a lot of useful material packed in. Any additional comments? "Get Out of My Life" goes a long way in explaining the irrational and difficult years of parenting a teenager. After reading this, I felt I would be able to a much for understanding and effective parent with my teen. Superb Loved it! I recommend this book to all parents of any child at whatever age. Required Reading for Parents of Teenagers Where does Get Out of My Life rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Anthony Wolf understands teenagers. What did I get out of this book? I learned (or was reminded) that parenting is "a job, it is only a job." Take nothing personally about being a parent of a teenager. They will often treat you like rubbish (to put it kindly) and that is their job to do just that. Adolescence is often the worst time in a person's life and a teenager needs to be able to express that. Anger is like poison and remaining calm is the antidote to 99% of situations. I love this book. If there was ever an expert on teens, it is Anthony Wolf.

We live in a broken society that celebrates sin and minimizes family relationships. Is it possible for Christian parents in today's society to raise emotionally healthy kids who love God and are equipped to do God's will for their lives? Yes. Emphatically, yes. God has entrusted you, as a parent, to care for and raise your children for him, and he has given you the resources you need for the job. Specifically, he has given you his word to guide and his grace to enable. That doesn't mean it will be easy or that it will happen on autopilot. It isn't, and it won't. The truths presented in this audiobook are not parenting hacks - tricks to have well-behaved kids. They are principles studied from God's word, tested in the laboratory of the author's home, and applied to the challenging topics and multifaceted responsibilities today's parents face. In this audiobook, discover what it means to invest in your children and how you can bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Members Reviews: Helpful Great book on parenting children and teens! There are some pauses in narration. Sometimes I thought it stopped playing. Just some lengthy pauses. Great, even late in the game! Pastor Chappell's insight and practical illustrations are a help even to those who have older children. It's never too late to learn and improve parenting (grand-parenting) skills. - from fellow-laborer and friend for 35 years.

Members Reviews: Clinical psychologists input plus God's principles If you could sum up Raising Great Kids in three words, what would they be? our legacy is to leave great kids What other book might you compare Raising Great Kids to and why? boundaries with kids by the same authors. because the two books have a common denominator which is having children who will impact this world.

Writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding Nia Vardalos firmly believed she was supposed to be a mom, but Mother Nature and modern medicine had put her in a headlock.

You've seen them - kids running wild through restaurants while the parents avert their gaze and order another cappuccino.

Maybe one of those kids belongs to you. Combining incisive commentary with grounded, practical advice, Your Kid's a Brat and It's All Your Fault will have you recognizing and laughing at yourself, your fellow parents, and a culture that seems determined to turn our precious angels into not-so-precious brats.

I wrote it because it isn't. I know that this is a hard job, because I am right here in the middle of it. I know you need encouragement because I do too. This is not a tender reminiscence from someone who had children so long ago that she only remembers the sweet parts. At the time of writing this, I have three children in diapers, and I can recognize the sound of hundreds of toothpicks being dumped out in the hall. This is a small collection of thoughts on mothering young children for when you are motivated, for when you are discouraged, for the times when discipline seems fruitless, and for when you are just plain tired. The opportunities for growth abound here but you have to be willing. You have to open your heart to the tumble. As you deal with your children, deal with yourself always and first. This is what it looks like, and feels like, to walk as a mother with God. Members Reviews: Amazing! I love how this book gave practical advice. The author was hilarious and genuine--loved it! reorienting blessed book truth, both encouraging and convicting, written in an applicable actionable way. stories to make you laugh and to make her advice stick in your mind. also, chapters short enough for busy moms to finish and think. keep a journal nearby. Encouraging, helpful and full of Gospel goodness So helpful and beautifully written. I bought this as an audiobook and already plan to listen to it again many more times!

Roberts, Jean-Marie Parker Narrator: Sean Posvistak Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-17 Publisher: John S. Roberts Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Have you wondered if you're making the right decisions when it comes to raising your daughter? Over the last years, there has been a lot of confusion about the role of girls and boys in our society. It's easy to see why parents are left with lots of unanswered questions when they're raising their children. Raising girls 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 child's 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 child towards the best possible path towards a healthy and responsible adulthood today! Members Reviews: All good hear I think all women and men should read this book to ensure girls are set to be the future leaders of the world. we always learn something from those who' have been there...done that.!' Such a perfect book! loved every minute! each story was different and incredible. everyone should listen/read it atleast once!! Deep, inspirational book! I grew up in a household where parenting had a totally different approach from what I just read from this book. This book approaches parenting in positive and in a more friendly way, where rules and boundaries are set without giving too much stress to both parent and child, where talking and listening become the main components of discipline. Great grab!!! I really liked this book. Girls today are so different than girls from my generation, and extremely different that girls from my parents and grand-parents generations. The times are different and girls have had to adapt to the changes in the world. Explained well! This is a great book. Very easyflow. Honestly drips off in every page. This book would possibly be THE wake-up call for me. Time to re-adjust perspectives, before its too late. Very enlightening. My sincere gratitude towards the Author.

"But if I have only one audiobook to buy, shouldn't I go for the helpful one?" Let's compare. Those "know-it-all" books tell you how to have a happy, healthy pregnancy. My book mentions a squirrel. Those books tell you how to care for a newborn child. My book describes how tired I am. Those books give you essential information you can use in a life-threatening emergency. My book has some very amusing anecdotes about poop. So really, it's up to you. If you want to be prepared and well-informed, I understand. But if you enjoy hearing the words "pterodactyl" and "uterus" in the same book, you've come to the right place. Members Reviews: Classic Paul Reiser goodness Any additional comments? This is a logical follow on to Couplehood and has the same humor and timing that you come to expect from Paul Reiser. I can't wait to listen to Familyhood next! Funniest Book Ever I practically couldn't breathe when reading this book. It was so funny! I laughed so hard. And I love it as an audio book. I've listned to it more than once. :) Funny... if you like stories about babies What did you like best about Babyhood? What did you like least? Big fan of Paul who reads this book well BUT the content is not for me. The title should have been the give away but I was hoping for better stories. Couldn't even finish it Really bad book I really enjoy Paul reiser the comic but as for Paul reiser the writer no way

Title: The Purpose of Boys Subtitle: Helping Our Sons Find Meaning, Significance, and Direction in Their Lives Author: Michael Gurian Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The Purpose of Boys is the final and conclusive book in the groundbreaking series on boys and their development. In this climax to his series of landmark books about boys, Michael Gurian offers a powerful new program to help us give our sons a core purpose - a program based on building morality, character, career goals, the ability to form intimate relationships, selflessness, personal and community responsibility, and an accelerated process of developmental maturity. Gurian reveals how important purpose is for the success and happiness of boys and explains how a boy's core personality, nature, and genetic predisposition functions to create both strengths and weaknesses in their journey towards maturity. The book includes an innovative program for support and interventions according to the unique needs, weaknesses, and strengths of each individual young man. It is a follow up to Gurian's best-selling The Minds of Boys, and draws on the latest science and field research on how boys develop neurologically. Gurian explores the unique issues boys must confront, and shows how their strategy for moral development and success in life is predicated on their nature and genetic predispositions. Members Reviews: A must read for parents! As a grandparent, I see the issues, but I can not get my kids to see or get them to read this book and discuss it. RECOMMENDED reading for parents and teachers I have read several of Michael Gurian's books while raising my son's and they have all offered incites and suggestions that were invaluable. His passion for boys becoming whole, valuable, purposeful men is clear and his books give us the information and tools needed to help our boys do just that. For Dads I recommend this for any interested or involved Dads, to help with the inner workings of their Boy's minds. Many parts brought back flashbacks of what my Dad did right, or wrong, with me. It is the double-edged sword you need to help forgive your Dad, but make YOURSELF a better Dad for your kids. Good also for reading a chapter, setting aside, working on what you've read, and then moving on to the next chapter. Well written. Five Stars Really interesting, well founded and practical. Great book! I love all of Michael Gurian's books on children. He does a great job defining the differences between the brains of boys and girls, citing research to back up his statements. He also gives parents great advice about how to capitalize on these differences to bring out the best in children.

Each of the 40 daily devotions consist of: A short piece of scripture, mostly the NIV translation. A short story, sometimes from her own life or another's or simply something that most moms can relate to. A thoughtful question (Day-Break) and statement (Day-Brief) to consider and hopefully apply in your own life. A prayer (Day-Votedly Yours) to use it as a prompt in praying to God whatever is on your heart regarding the day's devotion.

It's small enough to go in your glovebox, so you can read it while you're waiting to pick up the kids from sports or music practice. :) Inspiration and Wisdom for Moms Mothering is one of the most demanding and oftentimes thankless jobs in the world.

Title: Two Homes, One Childhood Subtitle: A Parenting Plan to Last a Lifetime Author: Robert E. Emery Narrator: Jonathan Coleman Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A paradigm-shifting model of parenting children in two homes from an internationally recognized expert. A researcher, therapist, and mediator, Robert Emery, PhD, details a new approach to sharing custody with children in two homes. Huge numbers of children are affected by separation, divorce, cohabitation breakups, and childbearing outside of marriage. These children have two homes. But their parents have only one chance to protect their childhood. Building on his 2004 book The Truth About Children and Divorce and a strong evidence base, including his own research, Emery explains that a parenting plan that lasts a lifetime is one that grows and changes along with children's - and families' - developing needs. Parents can and should work together to renegotiate schedules to best meet the changing needs of children from infancy through young adult life. Divided into chapters that address the specific needs of children as they grow up, this book: Himself the father of five children, one from his first marriage, Emery brings a rare combination of personal and professional insight and guidance for every parent raising a child in two homes. Members Reviews: Highly recommended by divorce lawyer-mediator Full of great information about child development, custody and visitation for separated or separating parents. Written for the parents, not for professionals, but every professional involved in parenting issues should read it and tell their clients to read it. Great information. A must read for parents in the ... Well written. Great information. A must read for parents in the midst of family transition whether by divorce or separation. Keeps the kids out of the adult business. Provides strategies for doing so. Too Basic Too basic to be of any value. excellent book. So helpful excellent book. So helpful. I highly recommend. He has a reasonable and compassionate approach to children in separated/divorced situations. Not very helpful to us, some concerns about the use of research and evidence Background: I have been through a divorce when my son was three and my current partner went through a divorce and contentious custody process when his children were young. Throughout this, I have spent a lot of time researching what is best for children and families and we have worked closely with a therapist and mediator in both divorces to make sure that the children's interest are being put first and that the decisions are based on research and not just what we want. I was very interested in helping to develop plans that kept the children's best interest in mind, while also giving them time to be with both parents, feel secure, stable, and loved. Our three children currently live with us a lot of the time, but also spend a good amount of time at their other parents' houses too. That is why I was looking forward to seeing this book. General assessment and better book: Generally, I was disappointed and would instead suggest Mom's House, Dad's House: Making two homes for your child which appears to me to use research less selectively, and generally takes an approach that appears less preach-y and with more room for families to work out a plan that makes sense for them and their children.

Sacred Cows Audiobook by Danielle Teller, MD, Astro Teller, PhD

Title: Sacred Cows Subtitle: The Truth about Divorce and Marriage Author: Danielle Teller, MD, Astro Teller, PhD Narrator: Kevin Young Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 01-21-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Drs. Astro and Danielle Teller know better than most that finding the right partner in life doesn't always happen the first time around. Through their own divorces they learned how widely held cultural assumptions and misinformation that nobody thinks to question - what they refer to as "sacred cows" - create unnecessary heartache for people who are already suffering through a terrible time. Do you think, for example, that the divorce rate in the United States is rising? Or that children are harmed by divorce? Most people do, but it turns out that neither of these notions is supported by the data. Combining the rigor that has established them as leaders in their respective fields along with a dose of good-natured humor, the Tellers ask listeners to take a fresh look at seven common sacred cows: the Holy Cow, the Expert Cow, the Selfish Cow, the Defective Cow, the Innocent Victim Cow, the One True Cow, and the Other Cow. This is not an audiobook that is "for" marriage or "for" divorce, but "for" the freedom to decide how to live most honestly and happily either as part of a couple or a single person. In the same way that Esther Perel's best-selling Mating in Captivity gave couples a fresh perspective on their married life, so Sacred Cows invites listeners to question assumptions and conventional wisdom. It offers a smart, insightful, and sympathetic view for those in a marital crisis, marriage counsellors, or anyone looking to gain a fresh perspective on one of our most cherished and misunderstood institutions. Members Reviews: Wow, great insight! To the point Sometimes it comes across a bit sarcastic but excellent analysis of social understanding or misunderstanding of the marriage and divorce. What should be common sense, cutely packaged The big take away from this book, in my view, is that no self-help volume filled with generalities or studies involving statistics can possibly be all that useful to individual cases of marriages on the rocks. Everybody has completely unique circumstances, even though some themes may be common. I believe the authors would agree with me, if I summed it up by saying "here is a list of things NOT to think about when considering a divorce." If you find yourself at that point in your life, this quick read may very well help clear your mind. Chapter 9 was written for me... Call me Jose! I heard about this book via a Tim Ferriss podcast with the authors, and it came at just the right time! I've been in an unsatisfying marriage for a while now and this audio book helped shed some light and perspective on the kind of feedback and reflection I've been receiving from family and friends, as well as the approach of our marriage counsellor and self-help books... This book states from the start that it's not a self-help book and not designed to help you make decisions about ones marriage, but I sound it helpful in illuminating the issues and also recontextualising the relationship so that I see it's really not that bad, but that something is indeed missing... Is it bad enough to end the marriage? For now no, I'm happy enough with how things are but hope for improvements... As for chapter 9... Listen to the book and find out for yourself... Have I met the woman in the coffee shop?

Title: Parenting Children: Learn How to be a Loving and Effective Parent Author: Jennifer Garden Narrator: Sharon Willoughby Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Jennifer Garden Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Would you like to understand the world from the mind and eyes of a child and a loving and experienced parent?

Or get a copy as a gift for a loved one or friend who is a parent. Members Reviews: Highly Recommend!!! Full disclosure, I must admit when the subject of bullying first appeared, Garden managed to pull at my heartstrings. You see, throughout middle school my younger brother was a victim of harassment and vicious bullying, I only wish the parents of the bullies could have only picked up this book to be aware of the repercussions on a childs life. Personal anecdote aside, I thought the fashion in which the plot and dialogue unraveled really spoke volumes and made an impact as I listened throughout. (I do however must admit that it was at first quite disorienting). The real case scenarios were extremely helpful bringing to light the issues that plague todays teens --- i.e. social media. Not only did the described situations detail the tough times that the father went through with his child, but the story itself took into consideration that a childs, and in turn, the parents life is not all influenced by the negative events. Life keeps on moving through the good and the bad. With that in mind, there were some moments in the book that were light and funny. Gardens take was refreshing because it unfurled like life itself, a series of moments, both devastatingly tragic with instances of helplessness with those of giddy joy and unconditional love. A Lovely Book Worth Rereading I found this book extremely insightful and a pleasure to listen to. The author, Mrs. Garden, uses real world and present day situations inside of a structure following a behavioral template. Rather than a linear age format that would follow a childs growth through life; all in the third person. Though it took me a chapter to get used to, the more I listened, the more comfortable the dialogue became. I was also very pleased at the amount of humor the author has incorporated. It gave a much welcomed playfulness to the listening experience. As an added bonus, in between these reenactments, Mrs. Garden draws from the professional research of psychological conditions and biochemical studies. She cleverly weaves this kind of information into concise instruction making it very understandable.

Title: Gummi Bears Should Not Be Organic Subtitle: And Other Opinions I Can't Back Up with Facts Author: Stefanie Wilder-Taylor Narrator: Stefanie Wilder-Taylor Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is officially fed up with the endless mommy fads, trends, studies, findings, and facts about how to raise children. Tiger mom or cool mom? Organic or vegan? "TV is the devil" or "TV is a godsend"? The mother of three young girls, Stefanie has finally decided to hell with Google - she's going to find out how to be a mom all on her own. In this latest mommy audiobook from the popular blogger, author, and TV personality, Stefanie will share her secrets for achieving a balance in motherhood between being protective and caring and downright bats--t crazy. She'll debunk some of the looniest parenting myths and reinforce others; she'll describe how, through as simple a process as good old trial and error, she's learned to pick and choose what works for her and her family and tune out the rest. Filled with sage advice, laugh-out-loud stories, and Stefanie's signature wit, Gummi Bears Should Not Be Organic is sure to appeal to any and every renegade mom who's forged her own path to childrearing. Critic Reviews: "A tongue-in-cheek guide to surviving modern motherhood." (Kirkus) Members Reviews: Your'e A Parent Now...Don't Mess It Up Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is one funny mother...no really she's a mother and she's very funny. I'm not her target demographic ...I'm a guy and my kids are grown and nearly done with college (Yay) but I can remember (parts of) what it was like to raise young kids and her stories ring true. As an LA based quasi celebrity she probably encounters a somewhat nuttier bunch of fellow mothers than most. Statistically it seems unlikely that any one person could come across so many narcissistic self centered half wits as she has...but hey that's LA folks. Her style is sharp without being cruel and 100% authentic. She also made me actually Laugh Out Loud quite a few times. She performs her own work perfectly...this simply wouldn't be as good if someone else had read it. You can feel the humor and frustration in her voice. My only complaint is that it's a bit short. I don't usually lavish a whole credit on a book that runs a scant 4:44 but it's not a waste. If you are a parent, plan to be a parent...or were ever a child it's a pretty safe bet that you will thoroughly enjoy this book. Way to go Stephanie Wilder Taylor! I'm not even a parent but I could relate to this book on many levels. Sometimes I hesitate to listen to author narrated books but she really did a wonderful job. Great Book! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would absolutely recommend this book. It is really funny and really relatable! What was one of the most memorable moments of Gummi Bears Should Not Be Organic? My favorite chapters are the one about Elbe's imaginary friend and the zoo adventure.

In the sage, practical Staying Connected to Your Teenager, family psychologist Michael Riera reveals that in every teen there are two very different people; many parents and guardians see only the rebellious child but miss seeing the more nuanced, increasingly adult thinker. It offers helpful strategies for promoting authentic, respectful conversations (whether in person, by text, or online), moving from a "managing" to a "consulting" role in a teen's life, understanding and working with normal adolescent development, and guiding kids on everything from social media to college applications. Riera shows how to bring out the best in a teen - and, consequently, in an entire family.

Far From The Tree Audiobook by Andrew Solomon

Title: Far From The Tree Subtitle: A Dozen Kinds of Love Author: Andrew Solomon Narrator: Andrew Solomon Format: Unabridged Length: 40 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: From the National Book Awardwinning author of The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression comes a monumental new work, a decade in the writing, about family. In Far from the Tree, Andrew Solomon tells the stories of parents who not only learn to deal with their exceptional children but also find profound meaning in doing so. Solomons startling proposition is that diversity is what unites us all. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, multiple severe disabilities, with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, as are the triumphs of love Solomon documents in every chapter. All parenting turns on a crucial question: to what extent parents should accept their children for who they are, and to what extent they should help them become their best selves. Drawing on forty thousand pages of interview transcripts with more than three hundred families, Solomon mines the eloquence of ordinary people facing extreme challenges. Whether considering prenatal screening for genetic disorders, cochlear implants for the deaf, or gender reassignment surgery for transgender people, Solomon narrates a universal struggle toward compassion. Many families grow closer through caring for a challenging child; most discover supportive communities of others similarly affected; some are inspired to become advocates and activists, celebrating the very conditions they once feared. Woven into their courageous and affirming stories is Solomons journey to accepting his own identity, which culminated in his midlife decision, influenced by this research, to become a parent. Elegantly reported by a spectacularly original thinker, Far from the Tree explores themes of generosity, acceptance, and toleranceall rooted in the insight that love can transcend every prejudice. This crucial and revelatory book expands our definition of what it is to be human. Members Reviews: A wonderful book about love and diversity Andrew Solomon's careful research into difference, whether through deafness, dwarfism,autism, criminality and all the other human conditions that he explores, gives the reader insight into the parenting of such children and the experience of the person concerned. Hopefully by understanding difference and diversity in the human condition, enhanced greatly by this book, we can become more tolerant and accepting of the great variety in what makes us human. Needs chapter titles. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? This book is fantastic. Andrew Solomon has such empathy and clarity on the issues addressed in this book, and I worked through this book because of it. A deeply fascinating look at the human condition. However, to Audible, could you please consider inserting chapter titles in very long works like this. It is 31 hrs of listening, with 100 chapters. None of them have titles, so it's basically impossible to dip in and out of this book. Emotive Would you listen to Far From The Tree again? Why? Yes absolutely.

How to Be a Good Divorced Dad is practical and down-to-earth and offers dozens of real life examples of dads who have discovered the importance of staying involved in their children's lives. Members Reviews: All Divorcing Fathers need to hear this book! All Divorcing Fathers need to hear this book several times prior to the divorce process. Great advice! Every divorced dad should read! I thought it was very well thought out. It was very calming and reassuring without giving false hope. Addressed many of the questions I had. Very adamant about doing things focused on the children's well being. I Couldn't Take It Anymore Between the narrator sounding like a Texas Instruments computer and the preachiness of the author I HAD to stop this after four chapters. Might be the worst thing I've read/listened to in years. Useful and informative This was a very Informative book, definitely worth reading. However, the author is extremely repetitive. A must for read/listen This is a must for any man going through or already divorced. I wish I had this sooner but glad that I found it.

The first book in a generation to look at boys' specific needs, parents loved its clarity and warm insights into their sons' inner world. But today, things have changed. It's girls that are in trouble. There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls' mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years. Steve Biddulph's Raising Girls is both a guidebook and a call to arms for parents. The five key stages of girlhood are laid out so that you know exactly what matters at which age and how to build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy onwards. Raising Girls is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. It's a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women - or anywhere in between. Feeling secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding her soul, and becoming a woman - at last, there is a clear map of girls' minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or selling out of your daughter's potential or uniqueness. All the hazards are signposted - bullying, eating disorders, body image and depression, social media harms and helps - as are concrete and simple measures for both mums and dads to help prevent their daughters from becoming victims. Parenthood is restored to an exciting journey, not one worry after another, as it's so often portrayed. Steve talks to the world's leading voices on girls' needs and makes their ideas clear and simple, adding his own humour and experience through stories that you will never forget. Along with his fellow psychologists worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done to girls today. With Raising Girls he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood, equipping parents to deal with the modern world and getting the media off the backs of our daughters. Raising Girls is powerful, practical and positive. Your heart, head and hands will be strengthened by its message. Critic Reviews: Praise for Steve Biddulph: "When you find a guru willing to change his mind when evidence and humanity prompt, you rejoice. For me, Steve Biddulph - one of the most popular [parenting gurus] in the world, with four million books sold - is the man." (Libby Purves, The Times) "Biddulph...has a built-in feel good factor. Parenting books too often make one fell inadequate, but Biddulph's left me refreshed and optimistic." (The Express) "Steve's advice is easy to follow - and more importantly, it works." (BBC Family Life Magazine) Praise for Raising Boys: "Packed full of pithy wisdom on what it is to move from boyhood to manhood and how to help your (not-so) little one on his way." (The Independent) Members Reviews: Good bit of common sense. Helpful to bring good practice to the conscious mind. Helps Prevent going through the motions and flags a few things that might need adjusting. A valuable reference for every parent Excellent! Common sense really (not so common). Told from a very practical and humble perspective. As a Muslim, I don't agree with everything, but says >95% agreement is not bad at all.

Narcissism Epidemic: 24 Tips to Teach Good Manners to Any Narcissist Audiobook by Jamie Keller

Title: Narcissism Epidemic: 24 Tips to Teach Good Manners to Any Narcissist Subtitle: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 161 Author: Jamie Keller Narrator: Sorrel Brigman Format: Unabridged Length: 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-16 Publisher: JB Snow Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Many people live with, work with, and interact with narcissists on a daily basis. They may be your coworker, your mother, your daughter, your sister-in-law, or your boss. Narcissists are self-centric, rude, and lacking in empathy for others. They have a tendency to lie, steal, cheat, and hurt other people. Sometimes this is intentional on the part of the narcissist, and other times it is due to his brain wiring and immature emotions. Narcissistic traits are often passed down from one generation to the next. Narcissism can pervade an entire family lineage. The truth of the matter is that just one narcissistic injury can lead a mother or father to injuring many generations of children and grandchildren that come after him or her. Neither generation heals before they bear more children, and thus the cycle of abuse continues from one generation to the next, often poisoning an entire family lineage over time. Narcissistic traits don't have to come from full-fledged narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissistic traits can be linked to many mental health disorders, psychological complexes and personality disorders. Society believes that an internal state of being is not conducive to living in a society, and thus inwardness is seen as unhealthy by most. Task-orientation and object-orientation is also seen as unhealthy on some levels, because empathy helps us to see why our skills and actions are necessary for the betterment of all people, not just for the betterment of ourselves. In this book, we will discuss the family unit in more depth as it pertains to narcissism. We will talk about the narcissistic mother, the narcissistic father, and the narcissistic children. We will discuss what happens when narcissists become grandparents. We will cover how the narcissist came to be and why the narcissistic injury is passed down from one generation to the next. Members Reviews: Good overview This was a very informative book. All the tips and pointers seemed dead-on, but there were no citations, so take the info with a grain of salt. I enjoyed it and thought it was helpful. Narcissism Epidemic: 24 Tips to Teach Good Manners to Any... I did not finish the book because it was opposite of what I read about a narcissist. I got nothing out of the 3/4 part that I read. I would not recommend it.

Also a very quick and easy read. It gets straight to the strategies vs so many books that give chapters and chapters of background and research. A great companion to Common Sense Parenting. Great - Very helpful. I bought this book for my daughter because my grandson has autism and has frequent meltdowns. Well, she has not put it down. It is very informative and helpful. High praises for Jeb Baker! Great book for ODDs! This was one of the first books I bought for dealing with my ODD kid. It does provide some great tips, and I'm still using some of them with him, now a teenager. Its like you read it and ask yourself what did I ... I thought this may help with my autistic grandsons melt downs But most of it was over my head.Didn't really get anything out of it to help me. The language they used was way over my head. One of the books that I find goes around in circles and really doesn't say much. Its like you read it and ask yourself what did I just read? Informative yet slightly redundant The strategies are excellent, but the chapter formatting is a little redundant, where strategies overlap. It is great for beginners, but having been formally trained in elements of behavior modification, I found the redundancy to be more taxing.

Driven by a journalists curiosity and a new mothers desperation for answers, Hopgood embarked on a journey to learn how other cultures approach the challenges all parents face: bedtimes, potty training, feeding, teaching, and more. Observing parents around the globe and interviewing anthropologists, educators, and child-care experts, she discovered a world of new ideas. The Chinese excel at potty training, teaching their wee ones as young as six months old. Kenyans wear their babies in colorful cloth slings - not only is it part of their cultural heritage, but strollers seem outright silly on Nairobis chaotic sidewalks. And the French are experts at turning their babies into healthy, adventurous eaters. Hopgood tested her discoveries on her spirited toddler, Sofia, with some enlightening results. This intimate and surprising look at the ways other cultures raise children offers parents the option of experimenting with tried and true methods from around the world and shows that there are many ways to be a good parent. Members Reviews: Started out interesting... What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? If the author left the last few chapters out of the book How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? If the book was a bit less preachy towards the end. Would you be willing to try another one of Barbara Haymans performances? There is an audio bug with this book which affected the quality of her voice. Any additional comments? The first few chapters were really interesting. In a nutshell, using her own experiences the author discussed how parenting is contextualized by culture and how cultures can "borrow" different practices. She entertains the notion of different parenting-styles within a culture instead of a one-size fits all approach. But then the book trailed off ending in a rant about "what's wrong with today's societal values". I could almost picture the author shaking her finger while she professed her displeasure about how society values beauty and sports above brains. Too bad. This book had so much promise Narration is not good What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The narration was not good at all. Maybe it was a technical difficulty on this particular book-I haven't listened to anything else with this narrator so I can't say. I couldn't listen to this book at all because the narration was so awful. Flat, robotic, I had to stop the book when I was just barely into it. I can't say how the story is because I couldn't listen to it. Would you be willing to try another one of Barbara Haymans performances? No.

Every Weekend" and "When Seeing an Infant Triggers a Mental Illness That Makes You Want to Have Another Baby," as well as a Sh*tty Mom quiz, this is a must-have, laugh-out-loud funny audiobook for the sh*tty parent in all of us. Critic Reviews: "A totally hilarious and uncensored look at some of the impossible situations we mothers find ourselves in." (TheBump.com) "Smartly, brashly, nearly criminally funny. It also - no small thing - carries a powerful message to all parents, but especially moms, that distilled to its essence is this: chill." (Time.com) "As the attachment parenting craze has hit a zenith in American culture, four very funny moms - comedy writers, TV producers, and a novelist - blast open a long-locked safe filled with frustrations faced by all modern mothers, with sympathetic and sharp humor. The authors' unfiltered candor is a welcome reminder for readers that they're not alone." (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review) Members Reviews: Laugh out loud funny! So funny, I was actually laughing out loud. My kids looked at me like I was crazy. These women should write a book geared towards moms with younger kids who are close together. Real, down to earth, raw and hilarious!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Sh*tty Mom to be better than the print version? I have no time to read so audio was perfect. Which scene was your favorite? Everything!! What insight do you think youll apply from Sh*tty Mom? Everything. Any additional comments? I think all moms should read this. It applies to all of us. The only ones that should not read are those who take offense to foul language. Good Book What made the experience of listening to Sh*tty Mom the most enjoyable? This book showed me I am not alone. I always question my parenting skills but this book help me realize that we are not perfect. Motherhood is a learning process crass but not serious. If you could sum up Sh*tty Mom in three words, what would they be? lazy mom guidance. What other book might you compare Sh*tty Mom to and why? sweet potato books are crass and funny. Did the narration match the pace of the story? some narrators are better than others. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? no Any additional comments? dont take this book too seriously. it is very sarcastic. Hilarious and true! Loved it. Told my friends about it. Would recommend it to every Mom out there.

Title: Parenting Isnt for Cowards Subtitle: The "You Can Do it" Guide for Hassled Parents. Author: Dr. James Dobson Narrator: John McDonough Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 57 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Unfortunately, children dont come with operating instructions, so raising even the most compliant kids can sometimes be disconcerting. Acknowledging that some youngsters are more challenging than others, Dr. James Dobson offers real help with establishing parent-child relationships, maintaining sanity, and banishing guilt. A Doctor of Philosophy in child development and the founder of the international organization Focus on the Family, Dr. Dobson has become one of Americas most respected family therapists. Drawing on a landmark study of 35,000 parents, as well as on his experience as both a professional and a parent, the author offers valuable advice on every aspect of parenting. This insightful best-seller offers parents the opportunity to find fulfillment in every stage of parenting, from bringing children into the world to letting them go. Narrator John McDonoughs reassuring voice inspires a healthy dose of parenting confidence. Members Reviews: Another winner for Dobson (no surprises there) Would you listen to Parenting Isnt for Cowards again? Why? Yes. Good info, practical advise. What was one of the most memorable moments of Parenting Isnt for Cowards? Excellent production - easy to listen to. Which scene was your favorite? This is non-fiction - there are no scenes Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? Realistic advise - they understand the difficulties in parenthood and don't minimize them. Any additional comments? A lot goes into Dr Dobson's work - not just a few examples but thousands (or more). Great book by Dr. Dobson! Great book by Dr. Dobson! The narrator was very good except for mispronouncing "Danae" (Da-nay). Very Good Read I strongly recommend this book for any parent and to maybe read it over again when feeling discouraged as a parent.....we aren't perfect, this book however encourages you to keep working and points out how "normal" it is to feel defeated, but to never loose heart. The only negative is if you have read other Parenting Books by Dr. Dobson, such as, "The Strong Willed Child" & "Bringing Up Boys", it does repeat some of the same stories/examples. But they can always be reiterated! thanks to God for the kids in our lives this book reminds us, as parents we only have our kids for a small time closed minded, dated, sexist, and abusive What disappointed you about Parenting Isnt for Cowards? I could barely listen to this book. The sample given has a cute story that made me buy the book. The next five minutes after the sample the author basically lumps homosexuality in with hard drug use as deviant behavior. He also thinks you should hit your kids to teach them who is boss. If you want to raise your kids that way and you want cute stories to go with it here is the book for you. What was most disappointing about James Dobsons story? His closed mind What does John McDonough bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? he is a good reader. What character would you cut from Parenting Isnt for Cowards? the author.

Title: Hannah's Hope Subtitle: Seeking God's Heart in the Midst of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Adoption Loss Author: Jennifer Saake Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Hannah's heart beat with a mother's love long before she was blessed with a child. You can meet Hannah in 1 Samuel, chapters 1 and 2. The Bible says she was "barren", and we know she suffered heartache, anguish, and grief because of her empty arms. Perhaps you do, too. Hannah's Hope is for all who long for a child yet to be conceived, grieve for a baby too soon passed from the womb, or have lived through the no-man's-land of failed adoption. It is intended as a guide to assist you in making wise decisions as you struggle through your grief. And by the end of the journey, God may surprise you with the ways he uses to answer your heart's cry. Compassionately written by a woman who knows well these painful struggles, Hannah's Hope will direct you to the source of strength, whose name is "the God of all comfort". Members Reviews: Like No Other Book for Fertility & Adoption Struggles My husband and I endured a period of failed fertility treatments before we decided to adopt internationally (Kazakhstan). After loving and losing two baby boys we bonded with our third baby boy and our adoption was granted in court! It was joyous! But we were blindsided when the birthmother appealed the adoption on the last day of the fifteen day waiting/appeal period. We are still fighting this out in court. This book was just what I need while enduring this fight. I struggle to remain faithful in God's plan. There are so many questions unanswered - "Why is God allowing this to happen to us???" Saake's book is the only one I have found that addresses the questions so many of us struggling to grow our families have regarding our faith. This book does not just address fertility, but miscarriage and adoption struggles as well. I HIGHLY recommend this book! It is also ideal for family and friends of those struggling with fertility or loss of a child due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or failed adoption. Every chapter has a section titled "Burden Bearer" designed just for those people looking in from the outside and wanting to support their friends and loved ones without putting their foot in their mouth! You will not regret buying this book! Thank you Jennifer Saake for writing this book for all of us walking this "road less traveled." [...] Great book Haven't finished it yet but what a great book. She really knows how to put into words how I feel and has some great, godly insight. I'm normally in tears once in every chapter. Helped me with my infertility struggles. While struggling with infertility this book really helped me through the daily struggles. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone that is struggling with infertility. An Answered Prayer I found this book after 3 harsh years of infertility in our marriage. God still hasn't given us kids since then, but this book has been invaluable in helping me uncover many perspectives in me that have stood in the way of true peace, faith, and comfort. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who faces infertility or who have family members who do so. Jennifer writes from her own heartaches but also, more importantly, from the Word of God. Finally! A great read! This is an awesome, very encouraging book! Perfect for those struggling with infertility.

Title: The Single Dad Detour Subtitle: Directions for Fathering After Divorce Author: Tez Brooks Narrator: Brandon Batchelar Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 06-19-15 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Practical steps to embrace God's mission for single Dads. Conventional wisdom holds that fathers have few parenting skills and that mothers always know best. The single father is often considered a mythical creature, found only in sitcoms as an object of humor or pity. Where does that leave real single dads? Too often, it makes them susceptible to overcompensation or apathy. Tez Brooks knows those feelings all too well. He's traveled that road with his own children after an unexpected divorce. The Single Dad Detour is the result of his journey and the lessons he's learned along the way. It's a guidebook for the rocky road of single fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges, using specific examples from dads who've survived parenting and have hope to offer. There are no unreachable requirements for perfect fatherhood here and no twisty theological mysteries - just authentic, down-to-earth wisdom from one dad to another. Members Reviews: An often overlooked segment of society The loyal, dedicated and hard working single father. We need more books, guidance, wisdom, and resources for men like us who find ourselves in an upended world when marriages fail. Thank you. This book helped me to feel that I wasn't alone, and addressed many doubts, fears and guilt I felt as a Christian who believes in the sacrament of marriage, and the complex soul crushing questions and fears that come with divorce. Thank you Patrick W

Learn how you can cope with and help your teenager to get through those difficult teenager years. Members Reviews: Grrrr This is a good book to help with an angry teen. It will definately help as my daughter gets older if she has any anger issues however; my son defies rules and doesn't care about the consequences and absolutely refuses therapy no matter what I do or take away Great info and dialog examples! loved it! The subject matter is a difficult one, however I thought they did a good job of giving real solutions to real problems. Great Book!!! If I had ONLY read it 20 years ago.... It would have saved my marriage!!!! And I wouldn't be dealing with an Angry Teenage son right now... I truly think it would benefit from some tweaking, republished re: marriage, so that men who never really grew up, but instead became narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths, could get an accurate diagnosis so that helpful info could be given to their wives, to protect their own kids from this insidious abuse. Remarkable!

A Child's Work Audiobook by Vivian Gussin Paley

Title: A Child's Work Subtitle: The Importance of Fantasy Play Author: Vivian Gussin Paley Narrator: Beth Richmond Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-16-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The buzz word in education today is accountability. But the federal mandate of "no child left behind" has come to mean curriculums driven by preparation for standardized tests and quantifiable learning results. Even for very young children, unstructured creative time in the classroom is waning as teachers and administrators are under growing pressures to measure school readiness through rote learning and increased homework. In her new book, Vivian Gussin Paley decries this rapid disappearance of creative time and makes the case for the critical role of fantasy play in the psychological, intellectual, and social development of young children. A Child's Work goes inside classrooms around the globe to explore the stunningly original language of children in their role-playing and storytelling. Drawing from their own words, Paley examines how this natural mode of learning allows children to construct meaning in their worlds, meaning that carries through into their adult lives. Proof that play is the work of children, this compelling and enchanting book will inspire and instruct teachers and parents, as well as point to a fundamental misdirection in today's educational programs and strategies.The book is published by The University of Chicago Press. Critic Reviews: "This irresistable book is Vivian Gussin Paley at her very best." (Times Education Supplement) "Here is a book brimming with brave wisdom that will help us parents and teachers understand how our sons and daughters, our students, come to terms with life through their minds' activity." (Robert Coles, author of The Moral Intelligence of Children) "[A] richly detailed reminder of the enormously important role of imaginary play." (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review) Members Reviews: play book Used this in a college class about play! Paley's book meets and exceeds my expecations! Wonderful ideas about capturing and documenting children's dramatic play Read this before Have this book in a hard copy, and have read it when first came out, but was traveling this summer, and wanted to read it again, but did not want to carry too many books. The Kindle version makes my summer reading manageable, and fun again.Vivian Paley has made looking at children through play and imagination as a form of art. In the phrase, "Stop the world, I want to get off" applies here. Children have mastered stopping the world and getting off to learn through the creative art of play. When do we lose this art form? Great book. It was required reading for a class Great book. It was required reading for a class. Learned about how important play is to young children and how it is a sad thing that schools are going away from play. Parents should read this! Five Stars Interesting book! Four Stars A clear description with specific examples of the importance of play in early childhood education.

Devotions for Sacred Parenting Audiobook by Gary Thomas

Title: Devotions for Sacred Parenting Subtitle: A Year of Weekly Devotions for Parents Author: Gary Thomas Narrator: Gary Thomas Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 05-25-12 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Raising children shapes the parent every bit as much as parents shape their children. Raising children is a sacred calling - and not for the faint of heart. In Devotions for Sacred Parenting, the author of Sacred Parenting continues the conversation and contemplates the soul-transforming journey of being a parent. With all new material, fifty-two devotions explore the spiritual dynamics of parenting. These life-related devotions are creative, fresh, and encouraging, inspiring mothers and fathers to look at parenting from a different perspective - as a holy and high calling from God, and as an opportunity to grow spiritually as you strive to raise godly children. Devotions for Sacred Parenting helps you understand how God is parenting you as you parent your children. Members Reviews: I love that I am both convicted to stop and evaluate ... I am on my second time of reading "Devotions for Sacred Parenting". Mr. Thomas' words speak straight to my mother's heart and God uses them to both convict and encourage my heart. I love that I am both convicted to stop and evaluate how I am parenting, but also I am encouraged... to persevere during the challenging times, praise and embrace during the joyful times and trust God through the times of doubt and unknown. This book has truly shaped my parenting and I am blessed deeply by it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to allow our Heavenly Father to direct your path in parenting, convict you when you need it and comfort and strengthen you as you fix your eyes on Christ. Your parenting and your children will be blessed through it. SUCH a good book. My husband and I read this one ... SUCH a good book. My husband and I read this one and the sacred marriage devotionals each Sunday, and there's so much good advice and wisdom in each one, and good conversations are sparked each week. We will seriously wear down these books throughout the years. Great gifts too. Greatest parenting book I've ever read! All eight of our children were adopted at various ages. I've read lots of parenting books and had hours upon hours of training by professionals. None were very helpful as the circumstances and dynamics of our family are so different.We have two special needs children and all of our kids had been abused. This devotional is not a how to book. Gary Thomas uses Biblical principles to teach parents the design of God. He shows us that parenting is a tool the Lord uses to shape parents into humble servants. I had already found that to be true. Each child the Lord placed in our home exposed certain selfishnesses in both of us. I would work on that sin, then another child would come and off I go into another training session. This book will change the way you view your kids and yourself, if you prayerfully consider the principles and put them into practice. I bought two for my married daughters. Check out Gary's DVD SACRED PARENTING. I highly recommend this material. longer and less relatable than expected each day's devotion was much longer than expected and it was not what we were looking for. we were looking for more of a daily few minutes to take together and reconnect with God and each other, but this was more of a lesson/lecture each week. Just Amazing. . . The author truly lets you see parenting as it really is, with all the nuts and bolts on display.

Psychic Children Audiobook by Sylvia Browne, Lindsay Harrison

Title: Psychic Children Subtitle: Revealing the Intuitive Gifts and Hidden Abilities of Boys and Girls Author: Sylvia Browne, Lindsay Harrison Narrator: Jeanie Hackett Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 06-22-07 Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Children have vivid imaginations, imaginary friends, and a heightened sense of good and evil. Sylvia Browne believes that they also have psychic gifts. Children can see and hear residents of the spirit world because they were there not long ago, and they are still tuned to the higher frequency of the Other Side. In Sylvia's view, psychic gifts are special blessings from God. Some children learn to develop them; others are pressed to ignore them. When Sylvia revealed her own psychic abilities at age three, her mother tolerated but never encouraged them. Her own son exhibited abilities as a toddler, which she fully embraced and supported. Society has been conflicted about children's psychic gifts, sometimes cherishing them, sometimes stifling them. Writing from personal experience and a lifetime of learning, America's leading psychic illuminates the phenomenon, issuing a call for more understanding and acceptance of these remarkable children. Members Reviews: This is not a manual Ok, so if you are interested in the subject, the content will not sound riddiculous to you. There are some ideas that might be quite new to you, particularly about 'the other side' and the afterlife...but I found them to be quite...logical, in a way. It has helped me to have a better attitude about life and death. If you are looking for ways to develop your children's intuition or psychic senses, this is not it. This book will help you to understand that children do sense things we don't and how to react so that they don't feel like they are going crazy. loved this book I have read all of Silvia's books and this one touches and so much in the past but also opens new doors to the children who have the gifts and how to notice those gifts and cultivate them. Sylvia was rite about so much and this book rings true in so many ways. Her gifts were proven for 70 yrs and she has really helped me.

The Talk Audiobook by Alice Dreger PhD

Title: The Talk Subtitle: Helping Your Kids Navigate Sex in the Real World Author: Alice Dreger PhD Narrator: Jennifer Riker Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 12-06-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Are you having a hard time talking to your kid about sex? Join the club. Alice Dreger, PhD, brings her unique sense of humor and refreshing directness to bear on this landmine of a subject, laying out clear methods that emphasize respect, health, and happiness. After Dreger's live tweeting of her son's abstinence sex ed class went viral, Dreger was asked by many parents how she had managed to raise a 14-year-old so comfortable talking about sex - comfortable enough even to challenge sex ed teachers when they presented misinformation. The Talk is a response to those questions. In it, Dreger explains how you can engage your children in productive conversations about sexual anatomy, sexual behaviors, sexual responsibility, and sexual pleasure and how you can do it in a nonshaming fashion that will support not only your child's well-being but also your long-term relationship with your child. Using the humor and clarity for which she is known, Dreger provides the basic information you need to understand sex development, gender identity, and erotic feelings and behaviors while also giving you a clear method for talking with children about difficult subjects like sex. The Talk gives you examples of how to answer children's questions and even explains how to recover if you screw up a conversation about sex. Whether your child is a preschooler or a teenager, The Talk will help you go forward with more information and less fear. Alice Dreger, PhD, is an historian of medicine, science, and sexuality and an award-winning writer. Her essays on sex have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, WIRED, Slate, The L.A. Times, The Chicago Tribune, Pacific Standard, Fathering Magazine, and Psychology Today, and she has appeared as a sex expert on dozens of broadcast programs, including Oprah, CNN International, NPR's All Things Considered, and Savage Lovecast. Her consultancy work includes editing a handbook for parents of children born with relatively uncommon forms of sex anatomy (intersex) and coediting a teaching guide on LGBT patient care for the Association of American Medical Colleges. She has been on the faculty of several universities, most recently at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Her last book, Galileo's Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and One Scholar's Search for Justice has been named an Editors' Choice by The New York Times. It has received praise in The New Yorker, Salon, Forbes, and New York Magazine and has just been released in paperback with a new afterword. Critic Reviews: "Alice Dreger's descriptive audiobook is a helpful tool for parents who are searching for the right words and tone to take when discussing sex with their children. Narrator Jennifer Riker's warm, conversational style is reassuring. Dreger, who has a doctorate in clinical medical humanities and bioethics, emphasizes that parents should be descriptive and not judgmental when they explain sexuality to their kids. She includes a refresher on the basics of all things sexual and encourages the use of correct terms, not slang or euphemisms. Dreger helpfully adds personal examples (from her now 15-year-old son) when discussing how to explain the difference between a sexual predator and an affectionate relative, caution about online pornography, public versus private behavior, and homosexuality.

Figuring out how to raise happy, healthy, and successful kids can be overwhelming. Parents find themselves wading through tons of conflicting advice. Books that outline a "right way" of doing things can leave even the most dedicated caregiver feeling discouraged and inadequate when real life doesn't measure up. An experienced psychiatrist and founder of the Center for Reflective Communities, Regina Pally serves up something totally different in her book. She argues that the key to successful parenting is learning to slow down, reflect, and recognize that there is no one key to doing it right. The Reflective Parent synthesizes the latest in neuroscience research to show that our brain's natural tendencies to empathize, analyze, and connect with others are all we need to be good parents. Each chapter weaves together discussions of specific reflective parenting principles like "Tolerate Uncertainty" and "Repair Ruptures" with engaging explanations of the science that backs them up. Brief "Take Home Lessons" at the end of each chapter and vivid examples of parents and children putting the principles into action make this a highly listenable, practical guide for anyone looking to build loving, lasting relationships with their kids. Members Reviews: PRACTICAL COUNSEL, SOLID SCIENCE âSome parents feel ashamed that the past still has a grip on them. â Donât be ashamed about it. You can use your reflective capacity to modulate and try to counteract your feelings from the past.â This is an example I liked from THE REFLECTIVE PARENTâS section on attachment issues. More about those issues later. This book is a practical, clear, well-written guide to parents (and grandparents) about the perplexities presented by small, medium, and large kidsâand it lucidly, and helpfully embeds the neuroscience of the brain structures and hormonal/chemical mediators of that regularly vexing (but fascinating) world as it applies at various stages of growth and development. I say this as a parent, a grandparent and a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst. I would love to have had this book available when my wife and I were raising (and being raised by) our kids, though much of the science Dr. Pally cites has only matured (and is still in progress) in the last fifteen or so years. Her level of detailed research and the careful culling of it for purposes of illustration are stunning. Likewise, the ways she weaves down-to-earth real life examples into the arc of the book allows any thoughtful parent to relate and be edifiedânot least by the way science and research supports the points and counsel being offered. The word âreflectiveâ in the title is most apt because the affirming message woven throughout is to encourage precisely that reflection in parents, with the corollary to trust themselvesâeven as the book provides a resource with which to check things out when they find themselves head-scratching, and/or getting anxious. There is much to focus on and praise, but I was particularly drawn to the section on attachment issues, because so much of what goes right (and wrong) with the trajectory of humans becoming who they do goes back to those issues.

Title: The Dirt Cure Subtitle: Growing Healthy Kids with Food Straight from Soil Author: Maya Shetreat-Klein MD Narrator: Marguerite Gavin Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In the tradition of Michael Pollan, Mark Hyman, and Andrew Weil, pioneering integrative pediatric neurologist Maya Shetreat-Klein, MD, reveals the shocking contents of children's food, how it's seriously harming their bodies and brains, and what we can do about it. And she presents the first nutritional plan for getting and keeping children healthy - a plan that any family can follow. Alarming new studies show the dramatic rise of chronic disease in children, from allergies and ADHD to mental illnesses and obesity. A traditionally trained pediatric neurologist and a parent herself, Dr. Maya encountered the limits of conventional medicine when her son suffered a severe episode of asthma on his first birthday and began a backward slide in his development. Treatments failed to reverse his condition, so Dr. Maya embarked on a scientific investigation, discovering that food was at the root of her son's illness, affecting his digestive system, immune system, and brain. The solution was shockingly simple: heal the food, heal the gut, heal the brain - and you heal the child. Recent changes in growing and processing food are harming children's intestinal microbiomes, immune systems, and brains, contributing to chronic disease. Dr. Maya's plan started with the soil, using fresh foods and nature to heal her son from the inside out and the outside in. Since then, she has successfully helped chronically ill patients from around the world. Revealing the profound connections between food, nature, and children's health, Dr. Maya explains how food is constantly changing children's bodies, brains, and even genes - for better or for worse. She also shares success stories from her practice and tips as a working mother of three on stocking healing foods (from veggies to chocolate), reading labels, and getting even picky eaters into the new menu. This paradigm-shifting book empowers you to transform your children's health through food and to ensure the long-term well-being of your children and the entire family. Members Reviews: Good book! I'd definitely recommend this book to others. The only problem I had was that I thought there would have been little more on soil and less on eating habits. Being in a state of ketosis of which I believe every man and woman should be in and having given up grains and sugar I was disappointed the author promoted them constantly. Simpler Living Yields Healthier Living Easy read with alot of easy & doable solutions. Reminds me of the old fashioned but very wise lifestyle of my farmer grandparents. We've already incorporated many of these simple changes and are reaping the benefits medically. Opens the mind to our current food sources. What made the experience of listening to The Dirt Cure the most enjoyable? Maya opens the door to looking at how our food is produced and marketed.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The tools you need to master the toughest negotiations you'll ever face - those with your kids. As every parent knows, kids are surprisingly clever negotiators. But how can we avoid those all-too-familiar wails, "That's not fair!" and "You can't make me!"? In The Game Theorist's Guide to Parenting, journalist Paul Raeburn and game theorist Kevin Zollman pair up to highlight tactics from the worlds of economics and business that can help parents break the endless cycle of quarrels and ineffective solutions. They show that some of the same strategies successfully applied to big business deals and politics - such as the prisoner's dilemma and the ultimatum game - can be used to solve such titanic, age-old parenting problems as dividing up toys, putting down those screens, and sticking to a bedtime. Raeburn and Zollman open each chapter with a common parenting dilemma, such as determining who started a fight or who gets a bedtime story first. Then they show how carefully concocted schemes involving bargains and fair incentives can save the day. Through smart case studies of game theory in action, Raeburn and Zollman reveal how parents and children devise strategies, where those strategies go wrong, and what we can do to help raise happy and savvy kids while keeping the rest of the family happy, too. Delightfully witty, refreshingly irreverent, and just a bit Machiavellian, The Game Theorist's Guide to Parenting looks past the fads to offer advice you can put into action today. Members Reviews: Easy and applicable insight on Game Theory What made the experience of listening to The Game Theorists Guide to Parenting the most enjoyable? Lots of great examples for application. Just enough explanation of each principle. What did you learn from The Game Theorists Guide to Parenting that you would use in your daily life? Very real ways to deal use game theories in everyday situations with kids, husbands and work colleagues.

Usando la neurociencia como base, este libro pone en tus manos muchas herramientas respetuosas para educar niños pensantes, reflexivos y auto-disciplinados, es decir, capaces de tomar buenas decisiones por sí mismos guiados por el compás de la buena moral. Sin gritos ni castigos es una invitación a redefinir lo que entendemos por disciplina, a olvidarnos de todo lo que hemos aprendido y escuchado acerca de cómo criar niños bien portados y a despojarnos de estrategias poco respetuosas que lastiman nuestra relación con los niños. Usando el cultivo de plantas como analogía, exploraremos cuáles son los elementos para que la autodisciplina sea posible. Finalmente integraremos todos esos elementos en un método práctico y respetuoso que puede ser utilizado por padres y/o profesionales tanto para resolver conflictos cotidianos como para enseñar comportamientos apropiados.

Title: Single Mothers Raising Sons in a Fatherless Home Subtitle: A Report for Successfully Guiding a Boy Through His Toughest Years Author: Dr. William James Narrator: Angel Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-26-15 Publisher: Dr William James Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: With Single Mothers Raising Sons in a Fatherless Home, Dr. William James brings his experience to bear upon the serious topic of boys being raised in homes in which fathers are not present. He knows all too well that absent a strong male presence in their lives to show them what our society expects of a man, to teach them how to stand up to everyday challenges and succeed, and to model the type of behavior that leads to dignity, respect, resiliency, and honor, young boys are susceptible to seek belongingness and self-identity by means often associated with poor decision making and affiliation with peer groups that engage in antisocial behavior and activity. Here in this report, Dr. James presents actual stories of real mothers and their sons. Each story deals with a different stage of a boy's life and development, illustrates the challenges that go along with those stages, includes deep and honest discussion as to what went wrong and why, and then follows up with insight and strategies for taking proactive measures to get ahead of these issues before they become reality. As a mother of a son in a fatherless home, or even if you just know of someone in this situation and care enough to want to make a difference, listening to this report is the first step to getting involved. Members Reviews: A very real topic Although not the best book if you're looking for something fun or thrilling to listen to, this report is a thoroughly informative account of the need-to-knows dealing with being a single mother to boys. I cannot imagine what the task feels like, but Angel Clark's serious voice makes the contents of the book so real and important to know. FAIR TO POOR What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Delving into the psychology between mother and son when there is isnt a father figure in the household. What to expect psychologically. Strategies for coping. poor performance content okay but it keeps jumping on and off can't follow the story it's a shame that you can get the message across with poor performance

The Blessing of a B Minus Audiobook by Wendy Mogel PhD

Title: The Blessing of a B Minus Subtitle: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Resilient Teenagers Author: Wendy Mogel PhD Narrator: Karen White Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author, internationally known clinical psychologist, and lecturer Wendy Mogel returns with a revelatory new book on parenting teenagers. Mogels sage advice on parenting young children has struck a chord with thousands of readers and made her one of todays most trusted parenting authorities. Now, in a longawaited followup, Mogel addresses the question she hears most frequently: what to do when those children become teenagers, their sense of independence and entitlement grows, the pressure to compete and succeed skyrockets, and communication becomes fraught with obstacles. With warmth, wit, and her signature combination of Jewish teachings and psychological research, Mogel helps parents ably navigate the often rough journey through the teenage years and guide children to become confident, resilient young adults. By viewing the frustrating and worrisome elements of adolescence as blessings, Mogel reveals that they are, in fact, necessary steps in psychological growth and character development to be met with faith, detachment, and a sense of humor rather than overinvolvement and anxiety. Mogel gives parents the tools to do so and offers reassuring spiritual and ethical advice on why influence is more effective than control, teenage narcissism, living graciously with rudeness, the value of ordinary work, why risk is essential preparation for the posthigh school years, when to step in and when to step back, and a sanctified approach to sex and substances. An important and inspiring book that will fortify parents through the teenage years, The Blessing of a B Minus is itself a blessing. Critic Reviews: Wise, witty, and wellwritten, this book is a treasury of common sense for anyone dealing with adolescents. (Rabbi Harold Kushner, New York Times bestselling author) Members Reviews: This book saved my sanity!!! I was desperately trying to understand my teenage daughter and this book was a game changer for me and my husband. It helped me to understand her brain and development. It was comforting to know her behavior was normal and what to do with that. I recommend this book to EVERY parent I know!!! I'll be rereading it as now I have another teenager to tend to. Thank you, Wendy!!!! Must read for parents with teenagers or almost teenagers! The scenarios and advice given in this book are awesome!! They are helping me gain control over my overprotective-ness and worries as a parent of a teenage boy and girl. It covers it all and I would recommend this book to anyone! Don't let the phrase, "Jewish Teachings" scare you, it's not a religious book by any means, but does give you some good perspectives!! Worth it! I really enjoyed this book and got some great ideas from it. I'm not Jewish, but liked the way the author tied the ideas together. Excellent Totally enjoyed listening to every word. It was so informative. Thoughts are well organized. Information is pertinent to today's teenager.

I am not finished reading this book yet, but I have already gained a lot of insight into how I may have projected my expectations onto my children and how I can recoup the situation.

They have credibility and I want to benefit from their experiences. Great guidance on raising your kids with forgiveness and grace I love love love this book.

Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson | Includes Analysis Preview: The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson offers recommendations for a whole-brain approach to parenting. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating the four quadrants of a child's brain, whether in challenging or joyous moments. Geared toward the brain development of children from birth to age 12, the whole-brain approach includes 12 parenting strategies based on current brain research, as well as a concise breakdown that describes how to apply these strategies at different ages and stages. When children are taught to use their whole brain, they become more balanced and healthy overall with a heightened capacity for self-awareness, empathy, and relationship-building. Most parents want their children to thrive, to be happy, resilient, productive, and engaged. Yet, caring for a developing child is trying, as children are prone to tantrums, bouts of outsized fears, and other challenging behaviors. In such moments, many parents just hope to survive.

I thought I'd get at least some proper substance, but I was wrong. This is more like an advert for the book rather than something worth paying for. It was my first and last summary. If only the actual book was available. Informative and to the point Perfect for parents who don't have time to sit and listen to anecdotes and filler... will definitely be attempting to use these techniques with my own children. tools to try my first audible experience. many new tools and takeaways to try out, will buy hardcopy now because I'd like to gain more insight on what the authors introduced So helpful to listen instead of reading a physical book .. with two young children it is proving to be very difficult!

Title: Maxed Out Subtitle: American Moms on the Brink Author: Katrina Alcorn Narrator: Katrina Alcorn Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 09-03-13 Publisher: Katrina Alcorn Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 139 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Katrina Alcorn was a 37-year-old mother with a happy marriage and a thriving career when one day, on the way to Target to buy diapers, she had a breakdown. Her carefully built career shuddered to a halt, and her journey through depression, anxiety, and insomnia - followed by medication, meditation, and therapy - began. Alcorn wondered how a woman like herself, with a loving husband, a supportive boss, three healthy kids, and a good income, was unable to manage the demands of having a career and a family. Over time, she realized that she wasn't alone. As she questioned other working moms, she realized that many women were struggling to do it all, crashing, and feeling as if they were somehow failing as a result. Mothers are the breadwinners in two-thirds of American families, yet the American workplace is uniquely hostile to the needs of parents. Weaving in surprising research about the dysfunction between the careers and home lives of working mothers, as well as the consequences to women's health, Alcorn tells a deeply personal story about "having it all, failing miserably, and what comes after. Ultimately, she offers readers a vision for a healthier, happier, and more productive way to live and work. Members Reviews: The definition of insanity... I read somewhere that the definition of insanity is to be able to hold two contradictory beliefs in your mind at the same time and believe both equally. That's where Maxed Out left me. Half of me really agreed with the thesis that the American system (as opposed to Sweden which is portrayed as a working parents' Nirvana) is broken and working mothers are set up to fail. The other half of my mind found Katrina Alcorn an over-priveleged whiner who had a great spouse, healthy kids, owned her own home, full health insurance for whole family debt free except the mortgage, high-paying, creative job (where demands such as having to review project proposals wete viewed as mind-breaking stress. Really?) Fantastic, understanding boss who loved her. Got her daughter in one of the very, very few good public schools in the East Bay. (I live here too.) Got invited to the Ted Conference. Had to sacrifice mommy yoga, making organic baby food, and cloth diapers when she returned to her job where she was highly valued and over praised and allowed to work a four day week. AND WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THAT? So, a dilemma. I think the subject is worthy, but I didn't buy Katrina Alcorn as the poster child for the working mother. (Though she is quite childish in places...) I found myself thinking most women I know would love to have her problems. But these are women with real problems - addicted kids, cancer either in themselves or close family members, unemployment, houses in foreclosure, etc. I look forward to more reviews to see what others think. The book is well written and supported by interesting sociological research. More interesting than the author's story, in fact. This could have been my story Where does Maxed Out rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book is a stand-out work of non-fiction. It not only tells you the author's personal story, but it provides structure and perspective from outside sources.

Title: Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads Author: Rosalind Wiseman, Elizabeth Rapoport Narrator: Rosalind Wiseman Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-06 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Even the most well-adjusted moms and dads can experience peer pressure and conflicts with other adults that make them act like they're back in seventh grade. In Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads, Rosalind Wiseman gives us the tools to handle difficult situations involving teachers and other parents with grace. Reassuring, funny, and unfailingly honest, Wiseman reveals: Critic Reviews: "If Wiseman was bold in her best-selling Queen Bees and Wannabes by telling the truth about entitled girls and their excesses, she's even more daring here." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Horrible This book represents the authors' attempts to stereotype Mothers and Fathers into convenient little buckets, while largely ignoring both sociology and pyschology. Their point of reference lies, as I'm sure it always has, strictly within themselves. Their classification of males is misguided at best, and their taxonomy of mothers and school-age girls is sophomoric and nearly mean-spirited. They have a clear bias for us to be passive with educators. If you consider yourself a "Queen Bee who thinks she needs to lighten up" then I'm sure you're the intended audience. All others should avoid this book.

Title: Connection Parenting Audiobook Author: Pam Leo Narrator: Pam Leo Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-25-10 Publisher: Wyatt-MacKenzie Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The level of cooperation parents get from their children is usually equal to the level of connection children feel with their parents. Connection Parenting is based on the Meeting the Needs of Children seven-week proactive parenting series that Pam Leo has taught for nearly 24 years. The premise is that meeting childrens biological need for emotional connection creates the healthy, strong parent-child bond children need to thrive - and that bond is also the key to effective parenting. Empowering, simple, and undeniably true, Connection Parenting will help to change the face of parenting, as we know it, says Kali Wendorf, editor of Byronchild magazine. Critic Reviews: "Connection Parenting is utterly transformational. If all parents and grandparents read and applied its wisdom, the world would be transformed. Bravo! (Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom) "Many parents will wish Connection Parenting had been around from the beginning of their parenting experience, but this well-written, practical guide makes it clear that we can begin right now. (Jane Sheppard, Executive Director, Holistic Pediatric Association, editor/publisher, Healthy Child Online) Members Reviews: very insightful interesting and true that connection should be prioritized in parenting. the book has very insightful ideas Great Info The author's voice is very monotonous and boring, but the book is great. Very useful advice. Powerful Parenting Ideas Well thought out and important parenting tools and concepts that have life changing possibilities. Unfortunately the authors voice is dull and droning and makes it difficult to hold ones attention Read by the author, unfortunately. 1- Whoever told Pam Leo she was a good narrator LIED. This is very hard to listen to. 2- She needs to invest in better recording equipment. I could hear every page turn. 3- The unabridged version is not available as an audiobook (as of Sept 2015) and the abridged version is super abrupt. Chapter 6 is literally one paragraph. Which is made even more awkward by the author's recommendation of listening to only one chapter a day. 4- While I agree with most of the ideas/advice put forth in the book, I've come across all of them before in various parenting books, where they were handled/explained better. Overall: decent book, terrible recording. You can do better. Compassionate Approach to discipline If you could sum up Connection Parenting Audiobook in three words, what would they be? Well rounded, theoretical, solid. What was one of the most memorable moments of Connection Parenting Audiobook? Exercises, and to be kind to oneself- What do you think the narrator could have done better? Vocal Delivery. It seemed a bit too monotone. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Parenthood and Love Any additional comments? I thought this book was very useful. I had to listen with a friend just to get through it. It wasn't a very exciting book. It was great as a group listening and sharing tool. I think the author had a lot of integrity. She really tied in both the parent paradigm and loving disciplinary approach.

Their Name Is Today Audiobook by Johann Christoph Arnold

Title: Their Name Is Today Subtitle: Reclaiming Childhood in a Hostile World Author: Johann Christoph Arnold Narrator: Rolland G. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-30-14 Publisher: Plough Publishing House Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: There's hope for childhood. Despite a perfect storm of hostile forces that are robbing children of a healthy childhood, courageous parents and teachers who know what's best for children are turning the tide. Johann Christoph Arnold, whose books on education, parenting, and relationships have helped more than a million readers through life's challenges, draws on the stories and voices of parents and educators on the ground, and a wealth of personal experience. He surveys the drastic changes in the lives of children, but also the groundswell of grassroots advocacy and action that he believes will lead to the triumph of common sense and time-tested wisdom. Arnold takes on technology, standardized testing, overstimulation, academic pressure, marketing to children, over-diagnosis and much more, calling on everyone who loves children to combat these threats to childhood and find creative ways to help children flourish. Every parent, teacher, and childcare provider has the power to make a difference, by giving children time to play, access to nature, and personal attention, and most of all, by defending their right to remain children. Members Reviews: Excellent thinker and author Have not yet read but I love Johann Christoph Arnold and his theology and philosophy. Four Stars Good but one needs to read over several times Five Stars Must read! Changed my outlook on children and parenting! Having raised six children of my own (with some still a work in progress), I thought I knew a thing or two about children. This book changed all that. The opening quote of the Action, Not Words chapter to which I turned stopped me in my tracks: âDonât worry that your children never listen to you, worry that they are always watching youâ - Robert Fulghum. In this book, Arnold brings together in a clear, concise fashion all the many stresses on children and parents. Academic pressure, material and commercial stimuli that subtly attack young minds, lack of clear parental guidance. All these are addressed, and each one had me looking at myself. Yes, we need to fear ISIS and Ebola, but closer to home, we have a battle too. Challenging, but full of gentle hope and encouragement, this book gave me hope and joy again. And it makes me love and cherish my own children, and look at all OUR children with new eyes. Great book full of truth Their name is Today by Johann Christoph Arnold is a plea to the people, future, parents, grandparents, teachers, etc. to remember our childrenâs wellbeing. In the world there is so much for the future generations to overcome. Children now have new distractions with video games and televisions everywhere, escalating violence in the world and in their entertainment, obesity and loss of healthy food in the homes and schools, education being taken over by government regulations instead of loving teachers, parents torn between success and quality time with their children. With all of this Mr. Arnold wants us to remember itâs not too late. There is still hope. The hope can be found in those children if we give them the tools that we need. We need to love, teach, instruct, guide, encourage, and build out our children so they know how to become the adults we want them to be. I have read books by Mr. Arnold before and have always found his books very interesting.

Children possess the innate ability to respond and recover from potentially traumatic circumstances. With It Won't Hurt Forever, you will learn how to activate this priceless resource within any child in need. Members Reviews: Quite enjoyed this book. Chapter one was mind blowing, really useful and I learnt loads, chapter two was less thrilling. overall still worth reading and will read again.

If you are pregnant, or planning a pregnancy, then this book will be an asset to your journey.

You may not have informed others yet, but are still having to cope with symptoms, such as tiredness and nausea, with no outward signs of pregnancy. Members Reviews: Good content and helpful Enjoyed listening this. although sometimes you may feel there is too much info.. But ofcourse nothing like actually experiencing a baby! Very helpful. Probably my favorite books that I purchased. Overall, this book was a thorough guide for pregnancy and childbirth. It REALLY advocated for breastfeeding, and as a result, there isn't a lot of useful info for moms who may not be able to/choose not to go that route. Thanks! Recommend This To All Expecting What insight do you think youll apply from Pregnancy? I wanted to listen ONE book during my first pregnancy, because I didn't want to overwhelm myself with information and this is THE one. It covers everything from pregnancy to labor to newborn care, and I highly recommend it to all who are expecting! Any additional comments? Very detailed and helpful. The book claims to not be biased but it definitely pushes "all natural" methods more than others. Still give plenty of info on all options. Loved this Book Any additional comments? Very good condition. I love the book! Very helpful and easy to understand. Lots of great information. Wonderful, detailed book that goes all the way through initial taking care of a newborn stage. As a first time mom, I am finding this book to be a great resource, and excellent reinforcement of what my husband and I learned in our childbirth class. Have bought / read both, and would 100% recommend this book over "What to expect". Highly Recommended Would you listen to Pregnancy again? Why? Yes i'll because i love this book Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I think it would be neutral. Never laugh neither cry Any additional comments? This book is very informative, useful and well explained. This book is really a great resource for those who want to learn more about the ultimate survival guide to pregnancy and birth. AWESOME BOOK.. Five star.. This book was a great guide for my partner and I. Most pregnancy books are totally geared toward straight, mostly traditional families. This guided us through our unique journey and allowed me to feel way less crazy! This is a very helpful book for anyone who is pregnant and looking for a great guide to pregnancy. It will definitely help you prepare through your pregnancy and give you some very detailed information. I really enjoyed listening this book and I will definitely recommend this book to anyone interested! Easy informative listen.

Members Reviews: amazing parenting book This book has helped me reconnect and redirect my relationship with my little boys absolutely loved it! Loved it It makes you laugh and cry and remember the little insignificant moments with your toddler... This is the 26th book I listened to here, and it's the best to listen to by far... exceeded my expectations. Saleh from Saudi Arabia Lots of practical info I love Pinky's practical gentle approach to parenting and this book doesn't disappoint. I feel I be some great tools under my belt now for helping me parent my little one who will be a toddler very soon. Definitely a must have book! Not worth buying Poorly written, does not go into much detail, glosses over topics and lacks any real structure. Half of the book is basic anecdotal evidence and stories that feel as though the author has just plucked them from online forums. The book is short and manages to be very repetitive as well. The book doesn't really provide any information that I don't think you could find easily in online forums. Don't waste your money!

Members Reviews: As a new father of triplets,.... I'm going to call finding out I'm having triplets as my first child my proverbial beanball. this book was great on so many different levels being a new father even though it was a little too biblical for me personally, but many points hit straight to the heart. good challenge for Dads well written with mini goals throughout the book. every man needs to know they can overcome any obstacle and our families need us. Listen to the book and met the man Would you consider the audio edition of Be a Better Dad Today to be better than the print version? Simply amazing book and a amazing man. Being a better dad is a evolutionary experiment that is taking hold all over the country. I went to a breakfast and met him at the Hilton Hotel in Philadelphia. He is a great presenter and have great ideas. What other book might you compare Be a Better Dad Today to and why? 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and his books on Family Which scene was your favorite? The story about how men get distracted when not paying attention to his wife and family Whats an idea from the book that you will remember? Focus on the Family and God Any additional comments? Get the Book Book about religion This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Christians that like reading the bible What was most disappointing about Gregory Slaytons story? Far too many bible quotes, far too many references to their website instead of focusing on the subject matter that made me buy the book What three words best describe Sean Runnettes performance? Very well read What character would you cut from Be a Better Dad Today? The Bible. Any additional comments? This could have been a useful book but was basically Christian propaganda. Nothing wrong with Christianity, quite the opposite, but don't pretend this is a book about fathers, it's a book about the bible.

Title: The Big Disconnect Subtitle: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age Author: Catherine Steiner-Adair, Teresa H. Barker Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-13 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Have iPads replaced conversation at the dinner table? What do infants observe when their parents are on their smartphones? Should you be your child's Facebook friend? As the focus of family has turned to the glow of the screen - children constantly texting their friends, parents working online around the clock - everyday life is undergoing a massive transformation. Easy availability to the Internet and social media has erased the boundaries that protect children from the unsavory aspects of adult life. Parents often feel they are losing a meaningful connection with their children. Children are feeling lonely and alienated. The digital world is here to stay, but what are families losing with technology's gain? As renowned clinical psychologist Catherine Steiner-Adair explains, families are in crisis around this issue, and even more so than they realize. Not only do chronic tech distractions have deep and lasting effects, but children desperately need parents to provide what tech cannot: close, significant interactions with the adults in their lives. Drawing on real-life stories from her clinical work with children and parents, and her consulting work with educators and experts across the country, Steiner-Adair offers insights and advice that can help parents achieve greater under-standing, authority, and confidence as they come up against the tech revolution unfolding in their living rooms. We all know that deep connection with the people we love means everything to us. It's time to look with fresh eyes and an open mind at the disconnection we are experiencing from our extreme device dependence. It's never too late to put down the iPad and come to the dinner table. Members Reviews: Eye opening for a parent that grew up in the 80s and 90s This book was invaluable as a mother to four children ages 4-12 and a child therapist. The review of child development and the careful interweaving of how development can be impacted by technology was informative and changed the way I look at my technology use and the technology use of my children. This book should be required reading for parenting in our current technological age. Predictably alarming & disconcerting Very useful framing of challenges for children and their parents. I would have appreciated more focus on advice to deal with coaching children regarding peer pressures for parents seeking to shelter them from environments that are awash in texting, Facebook, and Snapchat. Trying to make my way through despite the naration The book has some good information, but unfortunately, for me anyway, the narration colors it in such a way that I find it difficult to digest. This narrator may be fine for fiction, but for what is essentially a parenting book, her tone and way of speaking comes off (again for me, maybe not others) as being judgmental and extremely "bookish"/conservative. A more natural, less formal tone, one where not every syllable sounds like it's being pronounced with careful annunciation, would, I think, but the parent at ease a bit more and less on the defensive.

There is little warning that their lives will forever be changed by the narcissists. They never stop to realize the gravity of having been in the lives of narcissists.

Members Reviews: Fun Read, Excellent Advice, Highly Recommended I saw this book mentioned in an editorial in the Chicago Tribune. I decided to check it out and I am happy I did. The way the author writes is intelligent, yet fun to read. The advice given is excellent. Normally I can pick out one or two faults about a book. I can not find any with this book. I think for parenting books this book belongs in the same catagory as the "what to expect" books which were indispensable when my daughter was younger. Also, the price of the book is quite good. The kindle edition is only $9.99 and a physical copy is under $20. I may actually buy the physical copy to have. This book was recommended by their school administration and rightfully so I have a son who just started middle school and a daughter entering next year. This book was recommended by their school administration and rightfully so. It is a very quick and easy read that's full of practical information that can be applied to situations middle school parents are facing right now. I have found it to be very helpful in understanding my children's perspective and communicating with them better. Definitely a "must read" for any middle school parent! Great book, perfect for parents of Tweens & teens I just started reading this book a few days ago & I'm almost done. I bought our 13 year old another book called "The Drama Years" written specifically for the young girl, and at first she didn't want to read it. But when she saw I was reading this one & I explained to her that it's always helpful to have outside help & other perspectives, she's more open to doing her own reading & inner reflection. Anyway this book has been a very easy read & truly insightful. I think it touches most topics we all face as parents of middle schoolers. I would recommend this book for anyone looking to better their relationship with their child, or keep it great as they enter these tough years. Ahhh, the tween yearsâand a guide to help parents navigate through shaky waters! Thank goodness this book is here! I have a daughter about to leave middle school and one about to enter middle school next school year.

This is a great guide in potty training your toddlers. I have a 2 year old son and we are in the process of training to do it himself. Its actually fun because me and my husband had a good laugh at ourselves training our son. Any additional comments? The book offered step-by-step guide so that parents can easily help their baby to get familiar with the whole concept of potty training. Kudos to the author for a great book! POTTY TRAINING BOOK This book is great so far as potty books go - it emphasizes the things that little ones of this age really think are important - like being able to brush their own teeth and dress themselves, which lends itself to the idea that they can also go to the potty by themselves. good book . this is the one we settled on and are completely happy. Different book It was helpful it just would have been nice if it included a bit more information or went into a little more detail. Overall, I would definitely recommend.

Only from that space can a mother discover how to be the best, most authentic mother for her child. Mothering with Courage provides mothers a detailed guidebook for their journey as a mother, complete with the latest understanding and tips for healthy parenting and motherhood. Practical, educational, and inspirational, the book provides self-reflective questions and guided journaling exercises for mothers, specifically related to aspects of their lives and mothering. Mothering with Courage engages mothers in an interactive experience that will help map their own journey of motherhood, consciously creating it as they move through the book gaining insight and making personal choices. The text and exercises also guide mothers to mindfully choose the legacy of values and attitudes that they want to pass to their children. As a result, they will be given the opportunity to become a calm and connected mother...a mother who is also confident in her journey. Members Reviews: Connection is the key! Beautifully done! It gave me empathy about both myself as a kid and my own child. This is not your 'garden variety' parenting book that seeks to resolve perceived behavior challenges with strategies to get your child to do better. There are consistent opportunities to reflect on who we are as mothers and humans and how our experiences affect the parent child relationship (as they do in ANY relationship). The bottom line seemed to be encouraging thoughtful, strength based interactions with our children which promotes connection and leaves everyone feeling valued. I appreciate all the the research based factoids about behavior and best practices. Great Book about Mothering Any additional comments? This is a very well written book. I really enjoyed the practical examples and the journaling exercises in each chapter. The narrator did a great job. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Combining often-surprising findings with real-life stories, compassionate insight, and thought-provoking questions, Dr. Susan Newman provides a guide to help you decide for yourself how to best plan your family and raise a single child. Members Reviews: Well researched and well explained I liked that this book did a good job of dispelling myths about single children using a breadth of academic research. I recommend it to people thinking about their future families (like me and my spouse), to people who would like a child someday but don't want the chaos (me), or those who have 1 child and are on the fence about more (the audience who the author mainly speaks to directly). Liked it. I think the book made a lot of valid points. I'll be honest, I skimmed over some areas and skipped others entirely because they weren't and will never be applicable to me, but she does raise a lot of good points that I hadn't really considered before. I appreciate her insight! Four Stars only child here ... helpful It was good to get a number of different views on the ... It was good to get a number of different views on the benefits of having an only child. I would liked to have seen more statistics about only children - social outcomes, impact on marriages etc rather than so many anecdotes. Not what I thought I was looking for a book to validate our decision to be One and Done, and thought she'd have good research on onlies. She does have wonderful research, but she basically talks about how older couples are having onlies. So I guess maybe we are odd for being young but only wanting a single child.

Raising White Kids Audiobook by Jennifer Harvey

Title: Raising White Kids Subtitle: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America Author: Jennifer Harvey Narrator: Eliza Foss Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Raising White Kids is a book for families, churches, educators, and communities who want to equip their children to be active and able participants in a society that is becoming one of the most racially diverse in the world while remaining full of racial tensions. For white people who are committed to equity and justice, living in a nation that remains racially unjust and deeply segregated creates unique conundrums. These conundrums begin early in life and impact the racial development of white children in powerful ways. What can we do within our homes, communities, and schools? Should we teach our children to be "color-blind"? Or should we teach them to notice race? What roles do we want to equip them to play in addressing racism when they encounter it? What strategies will help our children learn to function well in a diverse nation? Talking about race means naming the reality of white privilege and hierarchy. How do we talk about race honestly, then, without making our children feel bad about being white? Most importantly, how do we do any of this in age-appropriate ways? While a great deal of public discussion exists in regard to the impact of race and racism on children of color, meaningful dialogue about and resources for understanding the impact of race on white children are woefully absent. Raising White Kids steps into that void. Members Reviews: Instructive book addressing a real issue that has been given precious little attention I am a Trump voting white male Texan. I honestly thought this book would be good for a laugh and as a coffee table "joke" book. I am now ashamed to have had that opinion. As I got into it, I realized this was not some irate crazy liberal finger-wagging at the white man. Instead, it was a really well written, non-political, sensible, well-reasoned and sourced take on an issue that is very important in this day and age, an age that you get labeled a racist for merely admitting you voted for Trump. But this isnt about me or my politics, this is about my little girl. A lot of people maybe have the mistaken belief that Texas is a bunch of white redneck racist hicks. That is true....in some very rural areas. For most of us, we live in extremely diverse areas. This is especially true in the South (where I am) and although this isnt scientific, I believe white americans are the minority here in favor of latinos/as. So the question addressed in the book has real application for me; my child is going to be in school with a lot of darker-skinned "minority" children. I honestly had no idea, prior to reading the book, how best to raise my white kid with respect to race. I would of assumed, wrongly, that you should either ignore it or just make it clear you need to be "color blind." The author has persuaded me thoroughly that, not only is this wrong, it actually may be detrimental to my child. Instead, the author in a very skilled, clear and illustrative manner explains how you should instead confront race head on when instructing your child. If we do not, the author suggests and I believe, we permit our child to tone us out in favor of their own associations and beliefs.

Give Your Child the World Audiobook by Jamie C. Martin

Title: Give Your Child the World Subtitle: Raising Globally Minded Kids One Book at a Time Author: Jamie C. Martin Narrator: Carla Mercer-Meyer Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Young children live with awe and wonder as their daily companions. But as they grow, worries often crowd out wonder. Knowing this, how can parents strengthen their kids' love for the world so it sticks around for the long haul? Thankfully, parents have at their fingertips a miracle vaccine - one that can boost their kids' immunity to the world's distractions: stories. Well-chosen stories connect us with others, even those on the other side of the globe. Build your kids' lives on a story-solid foundation and you'll give them armor to shield themselves from the world's cynicism. You'll give them confidence to persevere in the face of life's conflicts. You'll give them a reservoir of compassion that spills over into a lifetime of love in action. Parents can introduce their children to the world from the comfort of home by simply opening a book together. Give Your Child the World is poised to become a best-selling family treasury that promotes literacy, develops a global perspective, and strengthens family bonds while increasing faith and compassion. Critic Reviews: "I absolutely love this book! This one book, and a library, and you get to unpack the most world-changing summer with your family! You have to read this book - for the best summer for your kids, right from home!" (Ann Voskamp, New York Times best-selling author of One Thousand Gifts) Members Reviews: A great start for global-minded literature I love books about books, and this one is great for parents who are wanting to streamline their library visits and get to the best-of-the-best for titles with a global theme for ages 4-12. In the first 40-ish pages, we are introduced to author Jamie Martin and her global family. She shares the story of how they came to be (LOVE IT!) and offers some practical, doable ideas for how we can broaden our understanding of the world with our children. Next up leads us to the premise of the book: build your family culture around books, and travel together around the world with great books. The book lists are organized by region and age interest level. They list title, author, illustrator when applicable and a short synopsis of the book. Sometimes, we'll have a note on whether a book contains religious elements, in case a parents wishes to avoid or have a discussion prior/after. The indexes are helpful. We have one by author, one by country/region, and historical index, and title index. This will help you on your library hunt. (by the way, if your library allows you to reserve a bunch of titles on hold, do it! Let them do the legwork of finding your books and putting them together for you. Makes library visits with little ones easier. Get your holds and browse, or get your holds and get on outta there. Oh, and if your library doesn't have a title, find out if they do interlibrary loan.) Sprinkled throughout the book recommendations, we hear many families answer the question: "How do you give your child the world in your home?" Now. As I love good book lists and we read a ton around here, I will say that many of the titles I already recognized from our own library perusal or other book lists. Some Five in a Row titles are within; and others I have found already from my treasured All Through the Ages by Christine Miller. There is some overlap in titles for this book and Miller's.

Both science and the Bible show us that the most important thing we can provide for our kids is a place of emotional safety. In other words, the posture from which we parent matters infinitely more than the techniques of parenting. Emotional safety - more than any other factor - is scientifically linked to raising kids who live, love, and lead well. Learn how to use emotional safety as a foundation from which you parent - and make a cultural impact that could change the world! In Safe House, Dr. Straub draws from his extensive research and personal experience to help you: Members Reviews: Great ideas, not so good narrator The book has great ideas. Takes off in ch. 3. Don't give up on it too early. It's definitely inspiring for parents who want to be intentional about parenting. Heartfelt and inspiring I really enjoyed the real life example that made this book easy to relate to. Thank you. Amazing parenting book This is an amazing parenting book. I appreciated Straub's combination of psychological as well as scriptural references to understand our children from a mental and spiritual 'holistic' perspective.

Bradley Narrator: Chris Kayser Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Peel back the cheerful façade that parents present, and you'll find that many are worried about their teens. Mood swings, impulsiveness, poor judgment, and other problems peak in these years. Add stressors such as screen addiction, cyberbullying, increasing academic demands, and time-consuming athletic commitments...and it's no surprise that today's teenagers rank as the most anxious in 50 years. Parents long to help, but how? Based on a career counseling kids and their parents, psychologist Michael Bradley locates the most powerful protective trait: resilience. Teens with this crucial quality know how to handle difficulty, overcome obstacles, and bounce back from setbacks. Packed with insights from neuroscience and psychology, real-life case studies, and a dose of humor, Crazy-Stressed sheds light on the teen brain and offers a wealth of resiliency-boosting strategies. In it, Dr. Bradley reveals: It's not easy being a teen - and it's certainly not easy parenting one. Always frank and often funny, Crazy-Stressed will become your go-to guide...and your kids may even thank you for it. Members Reviews: Must-read advice for parents of teens! I have three teens/preteens, and Dr. Bradley's advice is so helpful! I bought this book because I had already read two of his other ones and wouldn't want to parent without them. This one does not disappoint. I love Dr. Bradley's relaxed style of writing so that you feel like you are sitting on the couch having a conversation with a wise and understanding friend. I love how he shares stories from his sessions with teenagers and parents, some of which have brought my to tears with their poignancy. Most of all, I love the great advice, such as this gem from this book: "Remember that your kid's number one resilience-building teen job is to develop her own identity, not to become an extension of yours" Right on! Thank you, Dr. Bradley! Keep the books coming. (And if you are short on time for reading, I highly recommend 'When Things Get Crazy With Your Teen.' It is written in short segments covering topics that you can flip to as needed.) He shares important information regarding todayâs youth in an easy to understand and witty style I have been to two of Dr. Bradleyâs presentations in the last year. He shares important information regarding todayâs youth in an easy to understand and witty style. Dr. B keeps it real! Although Iâm not a parent, I purchased the book as an educator to get a better understanding of the adolescents I work with. I recommend this book to parents because Dr. Bradley emphasizes the difficulty of raising teens which validates the daily struggles of parenting. He explains the physical, mental, and emotional changes most teens experience during this developmental time, highlighting the dos and donâts of parenting. Dr. Bradley writes authentically and honestly sharing personal and professional experiences. As a result, parents are provided many strategies heâs either had success with or witnessed with his clients. My hope is he will eventually publish a book with strategies specifically for educators working with adolescents. A must-read for parents of teenagers!

How Children Raise Parents provides a bold new paradigm by showing that parenting is the process God uses to help parents grow up. This liberating approach helps parents learn to prize what they're being taught by their child's quirks, failures, and normal childhood dilemmas, rather than worrying about what their children will accomplish in life. Members Reviews: Interesting perspective Good reminder that we grow with our kids and they have lots to teach us. Knowing our humanly sin /desire and insecurity would be magnified as parents is a good reminder that we are parenting whenever and wherever we are. We don't need to be perfect but ability to adjust , learn, forgive , apologize and accept are vital to be mindful about. I think this is a good general book.I hope there will be more books Dan Allender write about more specifics in terms of raising boys vs girls; specifically the sexual identity issues and going different developmental stages. amazing insite I loved this book! Such depth and truth for all parents and children, so everyone!

Armocida Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 12-18-15 Publisher: Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Eighty-eight percent of children raised in an evangelical Christian home will leave the church by the age of 18. Most will turn away from authority, parental values, and biblical teaching, losing their potential, their health, and their destiny - sometimes even their life. As a parent, guardian, or loved one, what can you do to prevent this from happening? If it does happen, how do you fight the battle? Is there hope? In Praying for the Prodigal, Andrea Merrell shares her journey with two prodigals and how God protected them, restored them, and brought them back from the flames of death and hell. She gives you practical survival tips to help you keep your sanity in the midst of the crisis, such as establishing boundaries, avoiding the blame game, and learning how to pray the word of God over your children daily. You will be encouraged by advice straight from the prodigals, and your faith will be strengthened by 30 days of prayers and scriptures. This book will equip you for the battle ahead and help you hold fast to God's promises, reminding you to never, never give up on your children - no matter how hopeless the situation may seem. Members Reviews: Encouraging and Practical Most of the practical advice the author mentions I already do, but it was reassuring to valudate. What I really liked was the praying focus which I have not focused on. Recommend for anyone in this situation or wanting to help another. Wonderful encouragement This was a quick, easy listen that was so helpful to me as I struggle through this situation and a great reminder to me to not give up on my faith and prayer. Only wish I had gotten the print book to have the copy of the prayers. Thank you for such a hopeful book! This was a wonderful story & a reminder of God's promises & love! It gives renewed hope if you have a prodigal! The reader's voice is so soothing & comforting..just a beautiful book to listen to & feel God's love for all, especially the lost.

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: Hilarious This book had me laughing out loud! The only disappointment is that the PDF that she references multiple times throughout the book was not included. Audio probably not the best way to experience I found this funny but I was distracted and honestly annoyed by the audio. I think I would have more enjoyed this reading it myself. Funny but annoying She is funny but her voice is annoying. I love swearing but sometimes I feel like words were tossed in for no reason. The Dirty Truth About Parenting Would you try another book from Karen Alpert and/or Karen Alpert? Yes I would, as long as she stops talking about poop so much. Who was your favorite character and why? Karen's kids sound awesome. They are the main characters after all.... Would you be willing to try another one of Karen Alperts performances? Yes. Did I Heart My Little A-Holes inspire you to do anything? When I have kids, I will definitely not take everything so seriously. Just enjoy them and all of the little experiences that come with them. Any additional comments? Karen desperately tries to be so funny with her "Eff this" and "eff that" but then she'll just say the word f**k. Her constant obsession with discussing poop does get old after a while. And her sing-song voice is painfully annoying after the first 5 minutes but overall it is a funny book. And for the love of God, stop calling it Tar-ghay....Thats so beyond annoying. Annoying Would you try another book from Karen Alpert and/or Karen Alpert? NO What do you think your next listen will be? NOT THIS Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Karen Alpert? YES - HER VOICE IS ANNOYING, I COULDNT MAKE IT FAR INTO THE BOOK WITH OUT SHUTTING IT OFF What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? DISAPPOINTMENT

Better Dads, Stronger Sons Audiobook by Rick Johnson

Title: Better Dads, Stronger Sons Subtitle: How Fathers Can Guide Boys to Become Men of Character Author: Rick Johnson Narrator: Rick Johnson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-10 Publisher: Treasure Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: The relationship between a father and a son is like none other. Dads have a God-given role to protect and provide for their families, always striving to teach their sons the life skills they'll need to grow into honorable men. But many dads struggle with feelings of inadequacy regarding their fathering abilities. They want to be better dads. Rick Johnson can tell them how. In this insightful and practical audiobook, Johnson shows how fathers can be equipped and inspired to be positive role models for their sons. He stresses the significance of male bonding, discipline, and spiritual leadership; discusses important topics such as sexual purity, respect, and self-discipline; and reveals the top 10 mistakes to avoid as a father. From commitment and courage to honesty and humility, Better Dads, Stronger Sons helps men strive to be the dads God designed them to be - so their sons can grow to be everything they are meant to be. Members Reviews: Too much "how to be a man", not enough substance Positives: Rick Johnson's story about his journey from his own childhood with a terrible father-figure to coming to faith in Christ and his journey as a father and into manhood is truly amazing and inspiring. He writes with heart and conviction as a man who has lived quite a journey, and I truly respect and admire it. Negatives: I was hoping for more in-depth discussion on father-son relationships and dynamics. I felt this book focused way too much on the kind of stuff you'd hear at a Promise Keeper's rally or Saturday morning men's breakfast at a church. (Accountability, male friendships, being a man with a purpose, integrity, etc etc) Those are all great and worthy topics, but when it comes to actual every-day parenting of my son, trying to understand him and build a relationship with him, the book didn't really help me at all unfortunately. It didn't focus nearly enough on ways to understand your boy and bond with him, give enough ideas on practical ways to impart those character lessons in everyday life, how to understand him at different stages of life, how to have a real relationship with him from childhood into adulthood, etc. Lots of talk about being a great man and showing him how to be a great man, hardly any talk about building a true, deep relationship with a boy through the various stages of his upbringing. Overall I was disappointed. If you're looking for these types of discussions, the book I've found that has come closest is Boys Should Be Boys by Meg Meeker. It had much better discussions on understanding how a boy ticks and how best to meet his needs. Read the Descriptions, People! Several other reviewers have complained about the religious focus of this book; the description of the audiobook here on Audible.com talks about "being the dads God designed us to be" and our "God-given" roles as dads - what are you expecting people? I greatly enjoyed the book, both the subject matter and the presentation.

Beeke Narrator: David Cochran Heath Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Many parents today are searching for the secret to successful parenting. In Parenting by God's Promises, Dr. Joel R. Beeke asserts that there is no secret. When it comes to giving children what they need most - new hearts that trust in Christ for forgiveness of sins - parents are helpless. When children come to faith, it is due to the grace of God. But while parents are helpless, they are not hopeless, for God has promised in his word to provide all needful things for his people and to bless them and their families. With faith in these grand promises, parents may raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord with confidence that God will work savingly in their lives. Parenting by God's Promises is a different kind of parenting manual, one that puts parental responsibilities in their proper perspective and guides mothers and fathers not to lean on their own abilities but to trust more fully in the God who knits children together in the first place. Members Reviews: Should Be Required Reading for Any Christian Parent The first part of this book develops the theology and doctrine of parenting as set forth by scripture. The last part of the book makes practical application of this theology. More than any other parenting book I've read, this one emphasizes what an honor and responsibility it is to have children and to serve them as God's representative. Love, leadership, discipline. It's all in here. Dr. Beeke's no-nonsense style clearly instructs and encourages us. I was a good mother to my children. I would have been a better one if I'd had this information when they were growing up. Four Stars Good book Five Stars Awesome book!!! From beginning to the end!!! Five Stars Sound, biblical parenting advice Wonderful principles Wonderful principles from God's Word. I wish we had had this when our children were small.

She woke up at five am every morning to prepare perfectly portioned meals of turkey meatballs along with veggies, couscous, mashed cauliflower, and sliced fruit for her small children. Feeling sluggish and tired most of the time, she realized that she had never considered eating what she made for her kids. After that, Brown put herself on the "Baby Diet". She felt better, lost those stubborn pounds, and prepared a short segment on her new diet for Good Morning America that went viral. What happens when you treat yourself the way you instinctively treat your children? From sleep training to exercising to making time for friends, Brown shares her own stories, expert advice, and innovative hacks to address the common issues mothers face while teaching women how to care for themselves with the same love and attention they give their children and families every day. The Happiest Mommy You Know is the life-changing and incredibly positive approach to the challenges of modern parenting - and gives parents permission to finally treat themselves better. Critic Reviews: "[Genevieve Shaw Brown] doles out suggestions in a conversational tone, mixing personal anecdotes with research in an accessible way. entertaining and affirming." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Great Concept I liked the concept and had some great takeaways that are very helpful. However, I did have some trouble relating to the author. A lot of her ideas relied on having reliable support from others and having the financial means to acheive them. Inspiring What an inspiring book! I loved every story. It has given me the push to do things for myself including exercising and meeting up with old friends.

If you sense that your child is seriously troubled, you may feel bewildered, helpless, ineffective. How can you stop your child from throwing away his or her life? How can you avoid thinking that you've failed as a parent? In this newly revised and expanded edition of the classic guide Before It's Too Late, clinical psychologist Stanton E. Samenow explains how to break the useless cycle of blame and take corrective action. Topics include: Members Reviews: This book was recommended by Dr This book was recommended by Dr. Laura Schlesinger on her Sirius talk show (who I think very highly of) and I'm reading it for educational purposes. I have a young granddaughter and want to learn everything I can that might be helpful. Thank you! The book does not provide false or easy solutions for dealing with difficult children but emphasizes parenting ... The item was as advertised. The book presents case studies of clients the author has worked with and provided counseling to. Since the book was written in the 80's the examples don't reflect the ubiquitous technology and Internet, issues parents face today, but still provides insight into the anti-social personality. The traits he outlines are universal despite the passage of time and will help parents determine if they need to pay attention to the patterns of behavior described in the examples he provides. The book does not provide false or easy solutions for dealing with difficult children but emphasizes parenting consistency, oversight, and not turning a blind eye or making excuses for their kids. I wish I would've had this book when I was raising my difficult child. It is a valuable resource. I have personally benefited from it and have recommended it to clients with parenting issues If you're struggling with getting in control of your kids (even if they are adults!) this can be VERY helpful. I have personally benefited from it and have recommended it to clients with parenting issues. Five Stars This is an awesome book. A very good book for clinicians who work with antisocial kids. Five Stars Great info for understanding difficult personalities in children, and for responding

The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit is a hilarious (though not scientifically tested) wink at the time-honored mysteries of parenting, for anybody who has ever had a kid or has ever known one, knows that the experience is neither fun nor profitable - so, you might as well laugh! As each generation begins its hopeful, happy, and, yes, sometimes harrowing journey together as Parent and Child, together they spawn a new body of "knowledge", the nuances of which will elude the Experts every time. Here are stories of the things we do for Mother Love - or the most incredibly full-time volunteer job ever - and tips guaranteed not to be found in any other parenting guide. Members Reviews: Loved it! I waited a long time for this book to become available on Audible, and it was well worth the wait. If you loved the other SPQ books, you won't be disappointed. If you're a Mom, you will appreciate the wit and insight of this amazing woman. Funny, insightful & fabulous!!! Absolutely loved this book!!! It is wonderfully read, and delightfully written. I will listen to it again and again. A Positive Outlook on All Things Jill Conner Browne is a fantastic narrator and a wonderful story teller; this book, as with most of the Sweet Potato Queens books includes a lot of fun stories some about her or from friends and fans. Browne has the perfect recipe for these books, it starts off with a lot of funny short stories, with some advice thrown in, of course, then there is a sad/tear-jerker story somewhere in the middle, and then she wraps it up with some recipes which sound to die for. Prepare to fantasize about delicious treats and cocktails while laughing your ass off. If youre ever in need of a pick-me-up, the Queen will make you feel good. Not a let down Having listened to other SPQ audiobooks, I can safely say that the Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit was on par with the rest. Jill Conner-Brown never fails to entertain me. An excellent blend of humor, entertainment, and advice; her material is relevant and witty. Her voice also adds to the material with it's soothing southern lilt. The recipes are actually quite good, to boot.

Why Have Kids? Audiobook by Jessica Valenti

Subtitle: A New Mom Explores the Truth About Parenting and Happiness Author: Jessica Valenti Narrator: Emily Beresford Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: In Why Have Kids?, Valenti explores these controversial questions through on-the-ground reporting, startling new research, and her own unique experiences as a mom. She moves beyond the black and white mommy wars over natural parenting, discipline, and work-life balance to explore a more nuanced reality: one filled with ambivalence, joy, guilt, and exhaustion. Would-be parents must navigate the decision to have children amidst a daunting combination of cultural expectations and hard facts. And new parents find themselves struggling to reconcile their elation with the often exhausting, confusing, and expensive business of child care. When researchers for a 2010 Pew study asked parents why they decided to have their first child, nearly 90 percent answered, for the joy of having children. Yet nearly every study in the last 10 years shows a marked decline in the life satisfaction of those with kids. Valenti explores this disconnect between parents hopes and the day-to-day reality of raising children - revealing all the ways mothers and fathers are quietly struggling. A must-listen for parents as well as those considering starting a family, Why Have Kids? is an explosive addition to the conversation about modern parenthood. Members Reviews: Useful for Parents, Parents-To-Be, & Non-Parents What did you love best about Why Have Kids?? As a woman who will one day have kids, I'm very appreciative of this book. I truly enjoy my job and spent years trying to find something substantial that I'd actually want to get an education in. So, I'd hate to think that I have to put my doctorate aside because my future toddler is having a hard time with potty training. Undoubtedly, my future child will mean the world to me simply because they will be my child, but I now feel and will feel great joy from the career I also have dedicated myself to. Though it's an entirely different types of joy, there's no reason why we can't experience both. Did Emily Beresford do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The narrator did just fine, but she sounded more like she was giving a lecture, and I couldn't help but think that there were parts where Ms. Valenti was attempting to sound sarcastic or even playful which didn't translate with Ms. Beresford's more straightforward tone. Even still, her performance was pleasant and relaxing for a long commute home. More Accurate Title "Wished I Didn't Have Kids" Would you try another book from Jessica Valenti and/or Emily Beresford? Emily Beresford, yes. Jessica Valenti, possibly. Ms. Beresford did a great job expressing the passionate tone that Ms. Valenti keeps throughout the book. Even though I think Ms. Valenti is a very talented and intelligent author, I tended to disagree with a majority of her points about the role of a mother. I would imagine that any other book would have the same political party drive, in which I would appreciate her well supported points, but disagree in the end. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Mostly annoyance. I felt like she was proposing mothers are entitled to a life away from her children, after they have them.

Parenting with a Story Audiobook by Paul Smith

Title: Parenting with a Story Subtitle: Real-Life Lessons in Character for Parents and Children to Share Author: Paul Smith Narrator: Paul Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Tell a young person what to do - play fair, be yourself, stick to the task at hand - and most will tune you out. But show them how choices and consequences play out in the real world, with real people, and the impact will be far more profound. Parenting with a Story gathers 101 narratives from people around the world and from all walks of life, reflecting unexpected moments of clarity about who they are and how they should treat others. The lessons illuminate the power of character - integrity, curiosity, creativity, grit, kindness, patience, gratitude, and more - to prepare us for anything. Sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes funny, always compelling, these stories impart wisdom and help steer choices about: Stories help shape who we are and who we aspire to become. Share these, discuss them, and watch your child grow into the adult you'll be proud of. Members Reviews: Reminds me of being with my Dad Where does Parenting with a Story rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I've read about 10 parenting books in the past 5 years and Parenting With A Story is my favorite book to date. Paul Smith delivers even better than he did with Leading With A Story. What was one of the most memorable moments of Parenting with a Story? My favorite story in this book is where a kid attends a business lunch with his father. His father ordered a "girly" lunch and was jeered by his male coworkers. After much teasing,his father stuck with his decision. That single instance continually gives strength and courage to his son to blaze his own path in life. What does Paul Smith bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I always love listening to a book narrated by the author. Paul Smith keeps the reader engaged by adding his own personal emphasis on the stories he tells. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? One of the things I love about this book is the stories are instantly applicable in life. And because they are stories, they are easy to remember. One story talks about a boy who wanted a sidewalk between his neighborhood and his school. His teacher asked him a simple question, "What are you going to do about that?" The boy wrote a letter to the mayor and a sidewalk was put in. I've used this same question with my daughter twice in the last week. It is so empowering for her. Any additional comments? The part I love most about this book is it reminds me of my Dad. I lost my Dad just over a year ago and hearing the stories in this book takes me back to the times when I messed up or did not know what to do and my Dad told me a story. Thanks Paul! Everything I hoped for and more. As a single father of 2 late teen daughters I am always open for help and ideas when it comes to parenting. So when I first heard Paul on a local radio station being interviewed and an excerpt from this book being played I thought that this book would be a great read for me. The excerpt was the story of the football team making fun of the girl who's best friend was her mother. It was a very moving story that piqued my interest and as much as I had hoped the rest of the book was equally as good. The audio book unlike several others that I have listened to had an extra passion to it that I haven't found in the others.

In Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads, Rosalind Wiseman gives us the tools to handle difficult situations involving teachers and other parents with grace. Reassuring, funny, and unfailingly honest, Wiseman reveals: Wiseman offers practical advice on avoiding the most common parenting "land mines" and useful scripts to help you navigate difficult but necessary conversations. Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads is essential reading for parents today. It offers us the tools to become wiser, more relaxed parents, and the inspiration to speak out, act according to our values, show humility, and set the kind of example that will make a real difference in our children's lives. Critic Reviews: "If Wiseman was bold in her best-selling Queen Bees and Wannabes by telling the truth about entitled girls and their excesses, she's even more daring here." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Great Book! This is a fabulous book for help navigating the social hierarchy for moms and dads and how to be a good role model for our sons and daughters.

Title: 4 Keys to College Admissions Success Subtitle: Unlocking the Gate to the Right College for Your Teen Author: Pamela Donnelly Narrator: Heather Burdette Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 10-27-14 Publisher: Morgan James Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Parenting teenagers is hard enough without feeling locked out of knowing how to apply to and pay for college. With the right information to turn the key, moms and dads can open the gate so their sons and daughters enter successfully into the futures they deserve. Join Pamela Donnelly in her humorous, informative trainings on the four mission-critical strategies you must implement in order to position your teen for independence, not co-dependence. Members Reviews: Title is misleading about college admission I would have given this book a four star review but it seems like the title was chosen to sell more books.This is actually a good book for parents of young adolescent children on best practices for raising children. The title implies that it offers information about college admissions success. The content includes recommendations for parenting values and practices that should be implemented very early in a child's life. If you've purchased this book when your child is 16 or 17 to inform yourself on about how to help your son or daughter apply to colleges, it is for the most part too late to implement the parenting practices recommended. Knows It All This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone who really knows absolutely nothing about parenting. What was most disappointing about Pamela Donnellys story? There just was not much special information that was worth paying for. How did the narrator detract from the book? Yes. There was a condescending, stereotypical upper class attitude. Excellent info for the high school years What did you love best about 4 Keys to College Admissions Success? I currently have two children in high school. One is about to graduate. I purchased this to help give me some insight on the whole college process. I have gained so much knowledge through this book I cannot stress how beneficial it has been. Not just on the admissions process but also on how to communicate with your kids through the high school years. How to ask them questions that will help them put more thought into what they are learning and why as well as how to help your child build on their achievements and strengths. Great book! What did you like best about this story? I have learned so much. I wish I would of read this type of book during my children's freshman year in high school. Which scene was your favorite? The author did a fantastic job presenting what to expect for the admissions process. She also presented great ideas and suggestions to help your children succeed in high school and how to prepare themselves for college as well as their way of thinking. Any additional comments? .

Real Boys Audiobook by William Pollack

Title: Real Boys Subtitle: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood Author: William Pollack Narrator: John McDonough Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 12-08-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: After more than two decades of research at Harvard Medical School, clinical psychologist William Pollack concludes that our sons are in trouble. In this provocative study, as he examines the causes of this crisis, Dr. Pollack offers ways we can help boys grow up into healthy adults. Just as Mary Pipher's Reviving Ophelia offers hope for troubled adolescent girls, Real Boys is an invaluable work. An unwritten "Boy Code" perpetuates the myths that boys are driven by testosterone and other uncontrollable forces and that boys are inherently dangerous. As a result of these beliefs, boys are taught to conceal their emotions from others, keep their distance in relationships, and be tough. Dr. Pollack's book offers healthier attitudes to replace this damaging Code. As Dr. Pollack discusses each of the myths of boyhood, he uses case studies to show how we can help boys understand and deal with such issues as anger, sexuality, peer pressure, and self-image. A New York Times best seller, Real Boys provides critical information that everyone should have. Members Reviews: For any parent or teacher of young men There is lots in the media about young women, but seldom do we look at the trials of our young men. This book clearly explains the pressures and cultures our society is putting on young boys to "be a man." This is a thoughtful, well-research book with practical suggestions for both teachers and parents. As a mother of three men, as well as a teacher of hundreds, I know that they are suffering and lonely. Pollack explains why and how to change the conversation, both with the boys as well as with society. A must read for anyone that has to help young men come to maturity in our less than advantageous society. Great balanced account with concrete and practical suggestions William Pollack certainly has impressive credentials with respect to writing on this topic. This is apparent from the editorial reviews above. More importantly, he is a good writer who brings the inner life of boys and the challenges they face in our society to life. He provides both an inside view and a worthwhile outside perspective. One of the repeating themes in the books is that we have contradictory expectations of men (boys) in our contemporary society. For example, on one level we expect men to be strong, tough, etc. At the same time, there is also a tacit expectation that contemporary men embrace the "New Age" ideal of being tender and vulnerable. Dr. Pollack points out that this causes many men to feel conflicted and often reduces them to painful silence and often isolation. While Dr. Pollack covers the inside life of boys, he also does an admirable job of citing relevant statistics on how boys performance is slipping academically and other useful objective sociological data. He covers this issue from every angle and goes beyond diagnosing the problems to making concrete suggestions for parents, schools and society at large. This book is a valuable addition to the literature on boys and the challenges they face. It is definitely a must own book for anyone who is raising a boy along with "Parenting from the Inside Out" by Daniel Siegel which is great for any parent. ...

Radical Unschooling Audiobook by Dayna Martin

Title: Radical Unschooling Subtitle: A Revolution Has Begun Author: Dayna Martin Narrator: Linda Velwest Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 08-09-12 Publisher: Free Life Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Radical Unschooling is a progressive parenting philosophy, which includes children learning at home. It is different from homeschooling in that children are not forced to follow curriculum lessons and tests. Radical Unschooling philosophy focuses on trust of a child's innate ability to learn without coercion and invites children to explore their passions. The parent's role is to facilitate their interests and curiosity. Radical Unschooling - the book - focuses also on the evolutionary aspect of parenting and human consciousness. We are parenting and educating our children today to succeed in a joyful, productive life by following their passions, not someone else's agenda. The main presentations are: The main focus of parenting today is obedience and meeting the needs of the parent. This has to change if we want our children to live in a peaceful world. Moreover, Radical Unschooling is just radical enough to herald a wake up call to our culture because of the truth the philosophy speaks. Members Reviews: Incredible! I loved every minute of this audiobook. The concepts presented really spoke to my instincts as a parent and what I want for my children. I love the way that the author follows the same "New Thought" philosophies that I live by. Excellent, excellent book. I only wish it was longer- though the material was covered very thoroughly, I didn't want it to end. Thank you, Dana, for this life-changing book. Can't Deal! This author will let you know very clearly that if you do not choose to do life with your children HER WAY - (attachment parenting, zero discipline, kids in charge) than you are completely WRONG, missing out on life and are harming your kids. It's so nauseating I had to turn it OFF! There are ALL colors of the rainbow when it comes to Unschooling and I guess the title of the book is spot on....this is RADICAL. The performance of the book is very robotic like. Didn't like it. Wonderful Intro into Unschooling Lifestyle! I absolutely loved this book! The author guides through an easy to follow trail of introduction into an unschooling lifestyle heavily based on the author's family. It almost felt like she guided me gently into the waters to thigh high and then encouraged to dive in the rest of the way yourself. Every concern I had got addressed as soon as it popped in my head which was very helpful. For example I love how she emphasizes that you can't expect to be perfect, and should expect to occasionally fall into the traditional way of reacting and thinking, which is encouraging because I'm nervous of having "perfection" loom over my head. I loved the "Unschooling Moments" where the author describes actual instances of the positive effect the unschooling has had on her children and their family. I'd love to hear more as those felt like great examples to follow. The only thing that was at times annoying was the narrator's way of speaking the dialogue almost in a mocking voice when other people were involved. This book was very helpful and I can see myself coming back for refresher listens. Thank you! Awesome book. I'm going to apply this info to rising my child. I'm so thankfully I read. a bit liberal a good read but I was hoping for more tips. this book makes the argument for unschooling more than offer help.

Understanding Your Teen Audiobook by Jim Burns

Title: Understanding Your Teen Subtitle: Shaping Their Character, Facing Their Realities Author: Jim Burns Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Parenting teenagers is one of the biggest challenges parents face. New realities make becoming independent more difficult. Teens are traveling a different road and are moving at a different pace than those of previous generations. Today's cultural environment is more complicated and confusing than ever. But fear not! Family expert Jim Burns provides a handy guide for parenting teens. For teens to become responsible adults, parents need to help them grow through developmental changes to attain a healthy self-identity, establish good relationships, make wise decisions, and grow in their relationship with God. Burns shows how parents can shape behavior and character, navigate social media challenges, and communicate and resolve conflict healthily. He also tackles the realities of our day, including cyberbullying, dating violence, self-injury, depression, and much more. Whether you're facing serious troubles or need simple tips for a better family life, this book offers help and hope. Members Reviews: Timely! Jim Burns is president of Homeword and a radio broadcaster. His other books are in the area of parenting or family issues. In this volume he comes right at the issues that are so prevalent for teens today. He makes you feel at ease by confessing his own shock when his children reach the teenage years even though ministering to families was already his lifework. At 200 pages itâs pitched just right for busy parents today. Part one is made up of 11 chapters that deal with big picture ideas about parenting teens. The first two chapters aim at helping us understand our teenagers and how they develop. Then he gets into how it might affect behavior appropriately and help their spiritual life. His chapter on a media-safe home is very thorough and balanced. He tackles the subject of sexuality by suggesting we teach healthy sexuality. He further talks about how to handle homework, keep communication open, and our forcing ourselves as parents to understand the changing culture our teens live in. He wisely added the chapter on intimacy between the parents as a way to help your teams. Many overlook this important aspect. The final chapter of the first part is how to deal with a troubled teen. Everyone hopes that will not be their situation, but if the dreaded happened, hereâs a great guide. Part two has 13 chapters that are shorter and narrower. I almost see them as pointed discussions of how to implement the broader concepts learned in the earlier chapters. Here he covers bullying, dating violence, depression, dinnertime, driving, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, obesity, self-injury, sexual abuse, sleep, suicide, and dealing with tragedy. I appreciate the calm way in which he advises us. He seems at once to be telling us to be diligent and patient. He encourages us not to lose our cool, nor our resolve. He doesnât suggest that parenting isnât hard work, yet he explains how the individual responsibility of the teen can never leave the picture. This book is a solid help in these difficult times for raising teens. I recommend it. I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissionâs 16 CFR, Part 255.

Title: The ADHD and ADD Guide for Parents Subtitle: Tips on How to Help Your Child Improve Attention, Manage Emotions and Achieve Goals Author: Rose McCloud Narrator: Augusta Rivers Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-15 Publisher: Speedy Publishing LLC Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: ADHD and ADD are two very complex mental problems. Though much is known about these conditions, on the other hand little is known about treatment plans. While most doctors want to throw stimulants to control the person affected, there are other options. Management comes from knowledge along with trial and error. A book on these conditions can help parents understand their child's thought process and bring clarity to a difficult matter. Members Reviews: You'd be better off with Wikipedia. What disappointed you about The ADHD and ADD Guide for Parents? To be blunt: there's not much of a "guide" here. Much of the book isn't even about ADHD/ADD... a huge chunk is about the benefits of hypnosis therapy - for pain management, anxiety relief, weight loss efforts, etc. The author barely even touches on the supposed topic of the book. What could Rose McCloud have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? To provide a better book, the author should have actually written about the subject in the title. The information is lacking and so overly basic that a potential reader would be better off reading a couple Wikipedia articles. I'm not sure this author did much more than that. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The reading quality is fine. I have no complaints about that. The problem is that the content is so sorely lacking in usefulness. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment Any additional comments? I suggest finding a different book on this topic. Whatever you're looking for, you won't find it here.

Raising Boys Audiobook by Steve Biddulph

Title: Raising Boys Subtitle: Why Boys are Different - and How to Help Them Become Happy and Well-Balanced Men Author: Steve Biddulph Narrator: Damien Warren-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: A word-of-mouth best seller which has become one of the best loved and most successful books in the parenting field. Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys is to be released on audio with some startling new research on what helps - and what harms - boys. In this expanded and updated audio edition, Steve Biddulph shares and gives practical and honest advice to parents so they can recognise the different stages of boyhood and learn how to raise happy, confident and kind young men. Boys need to be parented in a different way from girls, with their own very special psychological and physical makeup. Home, society and education have failed boys badly - and these failures lead to unhappy men who cannot fully become happy, responsible, emotionally confident adults. While it is essential that boys spend more time learning about manhood from their fathers, Biddulph updates his classic to include helpful information for mothers and single mothers with baby boys. This extended edition explores some important topics: Raising Boys offers parents real-life situations, thought-provoking insights, humour and help. Critic Reviews: "A mix of Billy Connelly and Dr Spock...Steve Biddulph is a publishing phenomenon." (The Times) "Steve's advice is easy to follow - and more importantly, it works." (BBC Family Life Magazine) "When you find a guru willing to change his mind when evidence and humanity prompt, you rejoice. For me, Steve Biddulph - one of the most popular [parenting gurus] in the world, with four million books sold - is the man." (Libby Purves, The Times) "Biddulph...has a built-in feel good factor. Parenting books too often make one fell inadequate, but Biddulph's left me refreshed and optimistic." (The Express) "Packed full of pithy wisdom on what it is to move from boyhood to manhood and how to help your (not-so) little one on his way." (The Independent) Members Reviews: Ugh.. Had my suspicions confirmed when warned several chapters in to keep my son away from 'eastern cults' Fundamentalist Christianity masquerading as a parenting manual. Some useful information, but laid on thick with that all too familiar over emotional delusion that characterised all false religious practitioners. Avoid.. Brilliant This book has sat on my bookshelf unread for the past 5 years. Listening as an audiobook was a revelation as passed the time doing mundane jobs such as laundry or driving. It's an absolutely brilliant book and so useful. I recommend it to all mums/dads of boys! A little heavy on the stereotypes. Stereotypical views of male society overall but some good points to note too. Worth a listen if you have a boy or work with them. Brought me to tears This is a great book for parents of a boy or boys. I'm a mum but this should be required reading for dads. I am totally motivated to instigate planning my boy's coming of age ceremony. I'm thinking a man-camp or canoeing trip. Will listen to all Steve's books that are available. My psychotherapist recommended this author and I am richer for it. Knowledge is power and I have been concerned about the father-son relationship and about the teenage years.

In this follow-up book, she takes on new hot-button issues like banning homework, technology use, and skipping kindergarten. Shumaker offers broader guidance on how parents can control their own anger and move from an overscheduled life to one of more free play. Parenting can too often be reduced to shuttling kids between enrichment classes, but Shumaker challenges parents to reevaluate how they're spending their precious family time. This book helps parents help their kids develop important life skills in an age-appropriate way. Sometimes being a good parent means breaking the rules. Members Reviews: Amazing resource for parents and teachers The narration is excellently done and you will surely learn something new and interesting! A must read/listen book, I must say.. Excellent! Loved this book. Practical, comprehensive, well supported by research. And perhaps more importantly, it instills hope and reinforces the "gut" instincts in parenting.

Dwelt on connectedness for too long. Connectedness is important. I've got it Connectedness yes. Connectedness. I've got it Now you can move on. Connectedness.

Title: 88 Tell-Tale Signs of Narcissistic Mothers and Toxic Mothers: Overt and Covert Narcissistic Abuse Subtitle: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 64 Author: J.B. Snow Narrator: D. Gaunt Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-15 Publisher: JB Snow Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: If you're reading this, chances are you may have a toxic or narcissistic mother in your life. She may be your mother, your mother-in-law, or your grandmother. You often feel as though something is wrong when you are in this person's presence, though you can't quite put your finger on it. She tends to make you feel tired and emotionally drained when you are around her. Narcissistic and toxic mothers are often injured in their childhoods by their own stunted emotional development. In order to fully develop into a healthy adult, we need a very nurturing and emotionally validating environment. Toxic and narcissistic mothers often grow up without that nurturing. They have jumped through hoops and tailored themselves to others around them. They have been invited to be a part of mind games, lies, and manipulation. They may have been told repeatedly that they weren't wanted. Narcissistic and toxic mothers can be very damaging to those around them. They have been often violated and hurt by others themselves. They see the world around them as being cruel, and so they take a defensive stance against others. They bore easily and struggle to keep their own emotions in check. For this reason they seem to enjoy being in a constant state of drama in the relationships around them. They are often experiencing great sadness, shame, guilt, and depression in their inner cores due to a lack of healing the things that happened to them. They need others to save them from themselves. They need others to provide a constant state of interaction with them in order to distract them from the pain they are feeling inside. They have to project their pain onto others to share it because they cannot find healthy and meaningful ways in which to deal with it themselves. Members Reviews: it clearly states Headline is OPTIONAL.... Could have used better examples, they seemed to repeat. I would have used the word self-absorbed, selfish more. Just what it says Corrupted audio in number 61 Also suggest "Disarming the Narcissist" once you recognize the narcissist in your life. Knowledge that will empower. Reading this book has provided me with a great deal of information. Helped to established with greater certainty that the knot in my stomach, distrust and unpleasant feelings (negative intuition) had an explanation. Until recently I was a pawn in my in laws mind games. Now, I have been identified as a threat. Tools to set needed boundaries mentioned in this book will provide you with a good start.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: Drunk Dad, Sober Dad is the reflection on the father figures and mother figures who played a role towards influencing my behaviors in life. Both parties, drunk dad and sober dad, taught me very important life skills and lessons. Using humor and lighthearted stories, I reveal and compare the differing ways these lessons were taught, what I learned from the lessons, how I've used those lessons, and what each of these mentors eventually meant to me. The book is written to stimulate your own memories of the people that influenced you, who you admire, and why you admire them. You will likely see your own mentors and role models mixed in the book. It took me 35 years to figure out who was cooler, drunk dad or sober dad? I know who I think is the coolest. Who will you think is the coolest? And which dad, or mom, or mentor do you want to be?

Title: Motherless Mothers Subtitle: How Mother Loss Shapes the Parents We Become Author: Hope Edelman Narrator: Hope Edelman Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 04-03-06 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Self Development, Parenting Publisher's Summary: But when she became a parent, she found herself revisiting her loss in ways she had never anticipated. Now the mother of two young girls, Edelman set out to learn how the loss of a mother to death or abandonment can affect the ways women raise their own children. From her exhaustive investigation, including a survey of more than one thousand women, comes Motherless Mothers, the enlightening and inspiring next step in the motherless journey. Using her own story as a prism, Edelman reveals the unique anxieties and desires these mothers experience as they raise their children without the help of a living maternal guide. She examines their parenting choices, their unexpected triumphs, and their fears, from the initial decision to have a child, through pregnancy, the delivery room, and the child-rearing years. Identifying "Eight Themes of Motherless Mothers" that cut across all racial, ethnic, and socio-economic lines, Edelman illuminates how the experience of loss directly impacts the ways in which these women parent their own children. Enriched by the voices of the mothers themselves, as well as filled with practical insight and advice from experienced professionals, this impeccably researched and luminously written book offers motherless mothers the guidance and support they want and need. Editorial Reviews: For Hope Edelman, whose mother died when she was 17, having children of her own forced her to confront that loss and its anxieties. In her book she eloquently and personally explores how the loss of her mother has impacted her own ability to mother. Edelman reads with a sensitivity and gentleness appropriate for such a delicate topic, whether sharing her own feelings or those of the countless motherless mothers she interviews. Even when quoting the extensive body of research surrounding grief and loss of a parent, Edelman manages to inject a human and empathic element into a guidebook for any mother facing motherhood without the benefit of her own mother's wisdom. Critic Reviews: "She presents emotionally charged concepts in clear, memorable terms to encourage frank, cathartic discussion." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Absolutely Love It!!!!!!! This book, for me, was so wonderful in the way that the author helped me to realize that I am normal! I am always being labeled as "paranoid" or "neurotic" and it's always by somebody who has a family unit in place. I understand now that what makes me different from my spouse and all of my friends when it comes to parenting is that I grew up without the closeness of a mother and the absence of a father. I grew up with the realization that I could only depend on 1 grandparent, who loved me very much but, had a dysfunctional relationship with her own daughter, which was my mother. I was conditioned to be very independent which made life tough once I reached high school because at that time I was unwilling to follow direction from a parent. I stopped living with my mother at 15 and the relationship ceased at that time and is still void as I speak. I had my daughter in 2006 and it really caught me off guard when I heard that my mother was bragging about becoming a grandmother to other family members. Actually, when I heard that she was saying that, it pissed me off.
