Cribsheet - Emily Oster Cover Art

Cribsheet

Cribsheet A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool by Emily Oster

From the author of Expecting Better, The Family Firm , and The Unexpected an economist's guide to the early years of parenting. “Both refreshing and useful. With so many parenting theories driving us all a bit batty, this is the type of book that we need to help calm things down.” — LA Times “The book is jampacked with information, but it’s also a delightful read because Oster is such a good writer.” — NPR With Expecting Better , award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet , she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting.  As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision?  Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn't always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they're ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren't necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time.  Economics is the science of decision-making, and Cribsheet is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert—and mom of two—who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions—and stay sane in the years before preschool.

Human Raised - Dana Suskind, MD Cover Art

Human Raised

Human Raised Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI by Dana Suskind, MD

From New York Times bestselling author Dana Suskind, a timely, urgent guide to parenting in the age of artificial intelligence—and protecting what matters most in childhood “A stunning book about how to protect our children—and our humanity—in the age of AI." —Adam Grant "Hope is not lost. It’s right here. If there is a young person in your life, Human Raised is for you." —Angela Duckworth As AI enters nurseries, playrooms, and classrooms, parents are being sold a “smart” childhood at every turn. This book is a guide to protecting the most important label of all: human raised. In her groundbreaking book Thirty Million Words , Dr. Suskind revealed the extraordinary power of parent talk and interaction in building children’s brains. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, the stakes of that nurturing interaction have become even clearer. New AI applications demonstrate what technology can replicate—but they also illuminate what it cannot: the capacity of human interaction to build not just children’s skills but their very capacity for human connection. Human Raised reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. From monitors that decode cries, to smart cribs that soothe babies to sleep, to interactive chatbots designed to engage an inquisitive toddler, the parenting landscape is shifting fast—and Dr. Suskind helps parents navigate this uncharted territory with clarity and confidence. Readers will learn four guiding principles for raising children alongside AI: H uman connection is irreplaceable O wn your imperfections P rotect the early years E nhance—don’t replace—connectionThe book also offers a concrete evaluation framework to help parents (and anyone shaping children’s environments) assess individual technologies, along with evidence-based guidance for fostering the skills children will need to thrive in an AI-driven future. Critical thinking, empathy, creativity, and resilience form what Suskind calls the Human Edge—capabilities no algorithm can replicate and no artificial teacher can cultivate. Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and the lived experience of countless families, Human Raised prepares parents to act as essential guardians to the gateway between AI and their children’s developing minds—keeping human connection, in all its beautiful imperfection, at the center of childhood.

Hunt, Gather, Parent - Michaeleen Doucleff Cover Art

Hunt, Gather, Parent

Hunt, Gather, Parent What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans by Michaeleen Doucleff

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE The oldest cultures in the world have mastered the art of raising happy, well-adjusted children. What can we learn from them? “ Hunt, Gather, Parent is full of smart ideas that I immediately wanted to force on my own kids.” —Pamela Druckerman, The New York Times Book Review When Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff becomes a mother, she examines the studies behind modern parenting guidance and finds the evidence frustratingly limited and often ineffective. Curious to learn about more effective parenting approaches, she visits a Maya village in the Yucatán Peninsula. There she encounters moms and dads who parent in a totally different way than we do—and raise extraordinarily kind, generous, and helpful children without yelling, nagging, or issuing timeouts. What else, Doucleff wonders, are Western parents missing out on? In Hunt, Gather, Parent , Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world’s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop—it’s built on cooperation instead of control, trust instead of fear, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones. Maya parents are masters at raising cooperative children. Without resorting to bribes, threats, or chore charts, Maya parents rear loyal helpers by including kids in household tasks from the time they can walk. Inuit parents have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence. When kids cry, hit, or act out, Inuit parents respond with a calm, gentle demeanor that teaches children how to settle themselves down and think before acting. Hadzabe parents are experts on raising confident, self-driven kids with a simple tool that protects children from stress and anxiety, so common now among American kids. Not only does Doucleff live with families and observe their methods firsthand, she also applies them with her own daughter, with striking results. She learns to discipline without yelling. She talks to psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how these strategies can impact children’s mental health and development. Filled with practical takeaways that parents can implement immediately, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for American families.

Niños Felices Con Emociones Sanas

Niños Felices Con Emociones Sanas Educación emocional infantil para gestionar rabietas, frustración y límites con crianza positive by Fabián G. Castillo

Tu hijo no te está retando. Te está mostrando un cerebro que todavía no sabe frenar solo. Esa rabieta en el suelo del supermercado. El "¡no!" gritado con todo el cuerpo. El llanto por algo que a ti te parece minúsculo. Vistos desde fuera, parecen caprichos, manipulación o malos modales. Pero por dentro está ocurriendo algo muy distinto: un cerebro en plena obra, con la planta de las emociones funcionando a toda potencia y la planta de la calma todavía a medio construir. Cuando entiendes eso, todo cambia. Dejas de pelear contra tu hijo y empiezas a acompañarlo. Dejas de preguntarte "¿qué hago para que pare?" y aprendes a preguntarte "¿qué necesita de mí en este momento?". Este libro te lleva de la mano por ese cambio de mirada, paso a paso y con ejemplos de la vida real —los tuyos, los de cada casa—, para que sepas qué hacer cuando llega la tormenta y, sobre todo, por qué funciona. Vas a aprender a: Leer lo que de verdad se esconde detrás de una rabieta, un "no quiero" o un llanto, en lugar de reaccionar a ciegas Acompañar la emoción de tu hijo a la vez que pones el límite —sin elegir entre ser el padre blando o el padre que grita Sostener límites con firmeza amable: ese tercer camino entre el autoritarismo y el "todo vale" Acompañar frustración, miedos, inseguridad y celos sin alimentarlos ni minimizarlos Reconocer tus propias reacciones —de dónde vienen, por qué saltan justo cuando estás agotado— y dejar de repetir lo que aprendiste de niño Regularte tú primero, porque no se puede prestar una calma que no se tiene Y vas a soltar el peso más agotador de todos: la idea de que tienes que hacerlo perfecto. No la necesitas. Tu hijo no necesita un padre impecable; necesita uno presente, humano, que sepa equivocarse y volver. Porque reparar también educa. Sin teorías complicadas ni recetas imposibles. Solo una forma de criar más serena, más conectada y mucho menos agotadora, que puedes empezar a aplicar hoy mismo. Un niño feliz no es el que nunca se enfada, llora o se frustra. Es el que aprende, contigo al lado, que puede atravesar todo eso sintiéndose seguro, acompañado y comprendido.

They move like ghosts through their homes, shushing monitors, rocking chairs, and whispering lullabies that seem to fall on deaf ears. In the darkness, guilt and exhaustion intertwine, creating a heavy cloak that drapes over their shoulders. They are not alone. In fact, they are part of a vast, global community of parents who feel trapped in a cycle of sleepless nights and desperate days, all while chasing an elusive dream—the perfect sleeper. The myth of the perfect sleeper is a cultural construct that has taken root in our collective consciousness. It is the idea that there is a magical point in a child's life when they will suddenly sleep through the night, wake up refreshed, and grow into a well-rested, happy child. This myth is perpetuated by well-meaning friends, family, and even some experts who promise that if parents just follow the right schedule, the perfect routine, the perfect sleeper will emerge. But what if I told you that this myth is not only unrealistic but also potentially harmful to both parents and children? Sleep is not a binary achievement, a switch that is either on or off. It is a developmental skill, a complex interplay of biology, environment, and learning. It is influenced by a child's temperament, their exposure to light and darkness, their nutrition, their emotional state, and their parents' responses. It is dynamic and ever-changing, just like the child themselves. Therefore, rigid schedules and one-size-fits-all approaches often backfire, leading to more sleepless nights and frustrated parents. By understanding sleep as a developmental skill, we can approach it with flexibility, responsiveness, and empathy. We can create routines that respect both the child's needs and the parents' sanity. We can use neuroscience to guide us, not as a rigid rulebook, but as a framework that allows for individual differences and adaptations. This is not about ignoring the experts or dismissing their advice. It is about using their expertise as a foundation upon which we build our own, unique approach to sleep. In the following pages, we will delve into the science of sleep, exploring the complex interplay of biology, environment, and learning. We will challenge the myth of the perfect sleeper and expose the cultural pressures that perpetuate it. We will provide evidence-based solutions that respect both child development and parental sanity. And we will share stories of real families who have navigated the challenges of sleep, not with rigid schedules or quick fixes, but with flexibility, responsiveness, and informed trust in their own abilities. This is not a journey that can be undertaken alone. It requires a partnership between parents, children, and experts. It requires open-mindedness, patience, and a willingness to adapt. But the rewards are great—a well-rested child, a sane parent, and a harmonious home. So let us embark on this journey together, armed with knowledge, empathy, and a healthy dose of realism. The perfect sleeper may be a myth, but a happy, well-rested child is not. And that is a goal worth pursuing.

The Whole-Brain Child

The Whole-Brain Child 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind by Daniel J. Siegel, MD & Tina Payne Bryson

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than 2 million copies in print! • The authors of No-Drama Discipline and The Yes Brain explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures in this pioneering, practical book. “Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child’s struggles.”—Harvey Karp, M.D. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight , and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve 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 and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, 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. “[A] useful child-rearing resource for the entire family . . . The authors include a fair amount of brain science, but they present it for both adult and child audiences.” —Kirkus Reviews “Strategies for getting a youngster to chill out [with] compassion.” —The Washington Post “This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The Whole-Brain Child . This is my new baby gift.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other “Gives parents and teachers ideas to get all parts of a healthy child’s brain working together.” —Parent to Parent

If you’ve ever said to yourself: -How do I know if my kid is ready? -Why won’t my child poop in the potty? -How do I avoid “potty power struggles”? -How can I get their daycare provider on board? -My kid was doing so well—why is he regressing? -And what about nighttime?!

Raising Good Humans A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids by Hunter Clarke-Fields

“A wise and fresh approach to mindful parenting.” —Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans , you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids. Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece? With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways. When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come. An essential, must-read for all parents—now more than ever. “To raise the children we hope to raise, we have to learn to become the person we hoped to be….

How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids - Jancee Dunn Cover Art

How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids

How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids by Jancee Dunn

A hilariously candid account of one woman's quest to bring her post-baby marriage back from the brink, featuring life-changing, real-world advice.   “Preserve the greatest gift you will ever give your baby: a loving relationship between the baby's parents” —John Gottman, clinical psychologist and author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work   How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kids  tackles the last taboo subject of parenthood: the startling, white-hot fury that new (and not-so-new) mothers often have for their mates. After Jancee Dunn had her baby, she found that she was doing virtually all the household chores, even though she and her husband worked equal hours. She asked herself: How did I become the ‘expert’ at changing a diaper?   Many expectant parents spend weeks researching the best crib or safest car seat, but spend little if any time thinking about the titanic impact the baby will have on their marriage—and the way their marriage will affect their child.   Enter Dunn, her well-meaning but blithely unhelpful husband, their daughter, and her boisterous extended family, who show us the ways in which outmoded family patterns and traditions thwart the overworked, overloaded parents of today. On the brink of marital Armageddon, Dunn plunges into the latest relationship research, solicits the counsel of the country's most renowned couples' and sex therapists, canvasses fellow parents, and even consults an FBI hostage negotiator on how to effectively contain an “explosive situation.” Instead of having the same fights over and over, Dunn and her husband must figure out a way to resolve their larger issues and fix their family while there is still time. As they discover, adding a demanding new person to your relationship means you have to reevaluate—and rebuild—your marriage. In an exhilarating twist, they work together to save the day, happily returning to the kind of peaceful life they previously thought was the sole province of couples without children.   Part memoir, part self-help book with actionable and achievable advice,  How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kids  is an eye-opening look at how the man who got you into this position in this first place is the ally you didn't know you had.   Recommended by Nicole Cliffe in  Slate Featured in  People  Picks A  Red Tricycle  Best Baby and Toddler Parenting Book of the Year One of  Mother  magazine's favorite parenting books of the year

Outdoor Kids in an Inside World Getting Your Family Out of the House and Radically Engaged with Nature by Steven Rinella

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An imperative call to action” (Nick Offerman) to get children off their screens and into nature, with tips for bonding activities that teach the importance of outside time and build tough, curious, competent kids—from the host of the Netflix series and podcast MeatEater “A revelation for families struggling to get kids to GO OUTSIDE, or to just stop using the darn smartphone.”—Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent In the era of screens and devices, the average American spends 90 percent of their time indoors, and children are no exception. Not only does this phenomenon have consequences for kids’ physical and mental health, it jeopardizes their ability to understand and engage with anything beyond the built environment.  Thankfully, with the right mind-set, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Here, outdoors expert Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America. Throughout, he offers practical advice for getting kids radically engaged with nature in a muddy, thrilling, hands-on way, with the ultimate goal of helping them see their own place within the natural ecosystem. No matter their location—rural, suburban, or urban—caregivers and kids will bond over activities such as:  • Camping to conquer fears, build tolerance for dirt and discomfort, and savor the timeless pleasure of swapping stories around a campfire.  • Growing a vegetable garden to develop a capacity to nurture and an appreciation for hard work.  • Fishing local lakes and rivers to learn the value of patience while grappling with the possibility of failure. • Hunting for sustainably managed wild game to face the realities of life, death, and what it really takes to obtain our food.  Living an outdoor lifestyle fosters in kids an insatiable curiosity about the world around them, confidence and self-sufficiency, and, most important, a lifelong sense of stewardship of the natural world. This book helps families connect with nature—and one another—as a joyful part of everyday life.

The Happiest Toddler on the Block - Harvey Karp, M.D. Cover Art

The Happiest Toddler on the Block

The Happiest Toddler on the Block How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old: Revised Edition by Harvey Karp, M.D.

Perfect for expecting parents who want to prepare themselves for the challenging toddler years (which starts around eight months of age), this essential guide, a national bestseller by respected pediatrician and child development expert Dr. Harvey Karp, not only helps reduce tantrums but makes happy kids even happier by boosting patience, cooperation, and self-confidence. Toddlers can drive you bonkers…so adorable and fun one minute…so stubborn and demanding the next! Yet, as unbelievable as it sounds, there is a way to turn the daily stream of “nos” and “don’ts” into “yeses” and hugs…if you know how to speak your toddler’ s language. In one of the most useful advances in parenting techniques of the past twenty-five years, Dr. Karp reveals that toddlers, with their immature brains and stormy outbursts, should be thought of not as pint-size people but as pintsize…cavemen. Having noticed that the usual techniques often failed to calm crying toddlers, Dr. Karp discovered that the key to effective communication was to speak to them in their own primitive language. When he did, suddenly he was able to soothe their outbursts almost every time! This amazing success led him to the realization that children between the ages of one and four go through four stages of “evolutionary” growth, each linked to the development of the brain, and each echoing a step in prehistoric humankind’s journey to civilization: • The “Charming Chimp-Child” (12 to 18 months): Wobbles around on two legs, grabs everything in reach, plays a nonstop game of “monkey see monkey do.” • The “Knee-High Neanderthal” (18 to 24 months): Strong-willed, fun-loving, messy, with a vocabulary of about thirty words, the favorites being “no” and “mine.” • The “Clever Caveman” (24 to 36 months): Just beginning to learn how to share, make friends, take turns, and use the potty. • The “Versatile Villager” (36 to 48 months): Loves to tell stories, sing songs and dance, while trying hard to behave. To speak to these children, Dr. Karp has developed two extraordinarily effective techniques: 1) The “fast food” rule—restating what your child has said to make sure you got it right; 2) The four-step rule—using gesture, repetition, simplicity, and tone to help your irate Stone-Ager be happy again. Once you’ve mastered “toddler-ese,” you will be ready to apply behavioral techniques specific to each stage of your child’ s development, such as teaching patience and calm, doing time-outs (and time-ins), praise through “gossiping,” and many other strategies. Then all the major challenges of the toddler years—including separation anxiety, sibling rivalry, toilet training, night fears, sleep problems, picky eating, biting and hitting, medicine taking — can be handled in a way that will make your toddler feel understood. The result: fewer tantrums, less yelling, and, best of all, more happy, loving time for you and your child.

Rules of Estrangement - Joshua Coleman, PhD Cover Art

Rules of Estrangement

Rules of Estrangement Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict by Joshua Coleman, PhD

A guide for parents whose adult children have cut off contact that reveals the hidden logic of estrangement, explores its cultural causes, and offers practical advice for parents trying to reestablish contact with their adult children. “Finally, here’s a hopeful, comprehensive, and compassionate guide to navigating one of the most painful experiences for parents and their adult children alike.”—Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone Labeled a silent epidemic by a growing number of therapists and researchers, estrangement is one of the most disorienting and painful experiences of a parent's life. Popular opinion typically tells a one-sided story of parents who got what they deserved or overly entitled adult children who wrongly blame their parents. However, the reasons for estrangement are far more complex and varied. As a result of rising rates of individualism, an increasing cultural emphasis on happiness, growing economic insecurity, and a historically recent perception that parents are obstacles to personal growth, many parents find themselves forever shut out of the lives of their adult children and grandchildren. As a trusted psychologist whose own daughter cut off contact for several years and eventually reconciled, Dr. Joshua Coleman is uniquely qualified to guide parents in navigating these fraught interactions. He helps to alleviate the ongoing feelings of shame, hurt, guilt, and sorrow that commonly attend these dynamics. By placing estrangement into a cultural context, Dr. Coleman helps parents better understand the mindset of their adult children and teaches them how to implement the strategies for reconciliation and healing that he has seen work in his forty years of practice. Rules of Estrangement gives parents the language and the emotional tools to engage in meaningful conversation with their child, the framework to cultivate a healthy relationship moving forward, and the ability to move on if reconciliation is no longer possible. While estrangement is a complex and tender topic, Dr. Coleman's insightful approach is based on empathy and understanding for both the parent and the adult child.

Bringing Up Bébé One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting by Pamela Druckerman

The runaway New York Times bestseller that shows American parents the secrets behind France's amazingly well-behaved children.   *This edition also includes Bébé Day by Day: 100 Keys to French Parenting “On questions of how to live, the French never disappoint. . . . Maybe it all starts with childhood. That is the conclusion that readers may draw from Bringing Up Bébé .” — The Wall Street Journal “I’ve been a parent now for more than eight years, and—confession—I’ve never actually made it all the way through a parenting book. But I found Bringing Up Bébé to be irresistible. ” — Slate When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a “French parent.” But she noticed that French children slept through the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and creative. Why? How? With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman set out to investigate—and wound up sparking a national debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up Bébé is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to become a classic resource for American parents.

Dopamine Kids A Science-Based Plan to Rewire Your Child's Brain and Take Back Your Family in the Age of Screens and Ultraprocessed Foods by Michaeleen Doucleff

From the bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent comes a revolutionary five-step guide—packed with practical, science-backed strategies—that shows you how to raise confident, happy kids while breaking the cycle of overdependence on screens and ultraprocessed foods. “ Dopamine Kids promises to wean families from two modern scourges: screens and ultraprocessed foods...in essence, promising a solution to the problems laid out by Jonathan Haidt in The Anxious Generation ....On the other side, readers can discover lives full of authentic pleasure.” — The New York Times When Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff decided to address her family’s screen time and dependence on processed foods, she found that parenting advice around these products is woefully outdated, hinging on studies of dopamine that date back twenty to fifty years. But new research reveals that contrary to what we’ve been told, dopamine isn’t the molecule of happiness and pleasure. Instead, dopamine gives us motivation , and can drive us to engage in activities that we don’t actually enjoy—activities that can make us feel sad, lonely, anxious, and depressed. What works, Doucleff found, isn’t depriving children of pleasure, but bringing more joy and pleasure back into their lives. Merging modern neuroscience and psychology with practical experience, Dopamine Kids is a five-step operating manual for habit remodeling that is tailored for parents and their children, shifting the power dynamic back to families. Instead of devices and foods controlling us, we can control them, retraining children's brains so they want and reach for activities and foods that leave them feeling good afterward. You’ll learn how to: - Create boundaries around screens and ultraprocessed foods that not only work but that kids enjoy; - Replace screen time with equally enticing activities; - Set up your routine, so that so that the healthy options become the default without negotiation or struggle; - Celebrate your family’s choices before, during, and after trying new hobbies, and, finally, - Transform your home into a screen-free sanctuary that protects conversations, focus, sleep, and adventure. After reading Dopamine Kids , you will be empowered to create habits that genuinely fulfill your family’s biological and emotional needs, to bring true satisfaction and purpose to their lives, and to improve their behavior, happiness, and confidence. The Anxious Generation alerted you to the danger of screens, but the demands of the twenty-first century require that you use them anyway. Dopamine Kids is your handbook for solving that fundamental problem of our times—and for teaching your kids to have a healthy relationship with technology and food.

Raising Men Lessons Navy SEALs Learned from Their Training and Taught to Their Sons by Eric Davis & Dina Santorelli

After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL Teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of fifteen, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he’d fought so hard to forge when his children were young—particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one’s own. Unfortunately, Eric learned the hard way that Quality Time doesn’t always show up in Quantity Time. Facebook, television, phones, video games, school, jobs, friends—they all got in the way of a real, meaningful father-son relationship. It was time to take action.

Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad! - John Pfeiffer Cover Art

Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad!

Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad! How to Get (Both of You) Through the Next 9 Months by John Pfeiffer

There are approximately 3,712 ways for a guy to look stupid during pregnancy - this book's here to help you avoid all(most) of them. And here's your first hint: Focus on what you can be doing for her rather than what's happening to her . She's pregnant. She knows that. You know that. And her 152 baby books tell her exactly what she can expect. Your job is to learn what you can do between the stick turning blue and the drive to the delivery room to make the next nine months go as smoothly as possible. That's where John Pfeiffer steps in. Like any good coach, he's been through it. He's dealt with the morning sickness and doctor visits, painting the baby's nursery and packing the overnight bag, choosing a name, hospital, and the color of the car-seat cover. All the while he remained positive and responsive - there with a "You're beautiful" when necessary - but assertive during the decision-making process (he didn't want to wind up with a kid named Percy). And now it's your turn. She might be having the baby, but you have plenty of responsibilities.

Being There

Being There Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters by Erica Komisar

A powerful look at the importance of a mother’s presence in the first years of life **Featured in The Wall Street Journal , and seen on Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, and CBS New York** In this important and empowering book, veteran psychoanalyst Erica Komisar explains why a mother's emotional and physical presence in her child's life--especially during the first three years--gives the child a greater chance of growing up emotionally healthy, happy, secure, and resilient.   In other words, when it comes to connecting with your baby or toddler, more is more. Compassionate and balanced, and focusing on the emotional health of children and moms alike, this book shows parents how to give their little ones the best chance for developing into healthy and loving adults. Based on more than two decades of clinical work, established psychoanalytic theory, and the most cutting-edge neurobiological research on caregiving, attachment, and brain development, Being There explains:    • How to establish emotional connection with a newborn or young child--regardless of whether you're able to work part-time or stay home    • How to ease transitions to minimize stress for your baby or toddler    • How to select and train quality childcare     • What's true and false about widely held beliefs like "I'm not good with babies" and “I’ll make up for it when he’s older”    • How to recognize and combat feelings of postpartum depression or boredom    • Why three months of maternity leave is not long enough--and how parents can take control of their choices to provide for their family's emotional needs in the first three years Being a new mom isn’t easy. But with support, emotional awareness, and coping skills, it can be the most magical—and essential—work we’ll ever do.

Dibs: In Search of Self - Virginia M. Axline Cover Art

Dibs: In Search of Self

Dibs: In Search of Self by Virginia M. Axline

In 1947, Virginia Axline introduced professional psychotherapists to a new way of working with children called Nondirective Play Therapy. In 1964, she introduced the rest of the world to “Dibs”. Dibs is silent. Dibs is a mystery to his parents and teachers. Dibs cannot be reached no matter how hard they try. He hides under tables and lashes out at other children. Some think he’s incapable of learning and interacting in a regular classroom. Some think he’s emotionally disturbed. Everyone is desperate to fix him, except for “Miss A”.  “Miss A,” as Dibs calls her, believes that Dibs already knows the answers and can show her what he needs if she is patient enough, accepting enough, and observant enough. Dibs’ parents think she’s wasting her time trying to watch him play. He doesn’t play and he doesn’t talk. Dibs’ mother finally agrees to let Miss A try her methods, but she’s not holding her breath. “Miss A” then introduces Dibs and us to her special play room, where children can be just exactly who they truly are. The room is not magical, but the relationship between therapist and child is. In the safety and freedom of this special relationship, we begin to see what Axline meant when she first encouraged therapists to offer children the opportunity to “play out these feelings” and “realize the power within [themselves]”. “A ‘must read’ classic for play therapists!” —  Charles E. Schaefer , PhD, RPT-S, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University; Co-Founder and Director Emeritus, The Association for Play Therapy “ Dibs: In Search of Self  is a timeless account of Axline as play therapist, advocate, and partner in Dibs’ therapeutic journey. I marvel at Axline’s ability to encompass multiple roles while demonstrating integration in all of her interactions; whether in the playroom, conducting classroom observations or working with Dibs’ parents. This is essential reading for play therapists, child development and counseling practitioners.” —  Natalya Ann Lindo , PhD, LPC, CCPT-S, CPRT-S, Associate Professor & Counseling Program Coordinator, University of North Texas “There are many books on play therapy theory. There are many books on play therapy techniques. There is only one book that goes beyond theory and technique, getting to the heart of what play therapy is all about.  Dibs  captures the depth of connection and life-changing impact that play therapy can engender between a child and a therapist.” —  Nick Cornett , PhD, LPC, LMFT, RPT, Assistant Professor, John Brown University

Voice Lessons for Parents

Voice Lessons for Parents What to Say, How to Say it, and When to Listen by Wendy Mogel

New York Times bestselling author and host of the podcast Nurture vs Nurture Dr. Wendy Mogel “ teaches parents the dialect needed to converse with their daughters and sons at every stage of life” ( Chicago Tribune). Dr. Wendy Mogel, “one of the most astute psychologists on the planet (Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit ) observed a pattern in her practice: when parents speak to their children their pitch tends to rise, and they come across as pleading, indignant, wounded, outraged. Their tone and body language signal, I can’t handle it when you act like a child. In response, Dr. Mogel developed a remarkably effective series of “voice lessons,” for parents who were struggling to communicate. The results were immediate: a shift in vocal style led to calmer kids, who listened more attentively and responded with warmth, respect, and sincerity. In Voice Lessons for Parents , Mogel elaborates on her novel clinical approach, revealing how each age and stage of a child’s life brings new opportunities to connect . Drawing from a range of sources including neuroscience, fairy tales, and anthropology, Mogel offers specific guidance for talking to children across the expanse of childhood and adolescence. She also explains the best ways to talk about your child to partners, exes, and grandparents, as well as to teachers, coaches, and caretakers. And she addresses the distraction of digital devices—how they impact our interactions with our families, and what we can do about it.
