The Whole-Brain Child - Daniel J. Siegel, MD & Tina Payne Bryson Cover Art

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

When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us - Jane Adams Cover Art

When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us

When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us Letting Go of Their Problems, Loving Them Anyway, by Jane Adams

How do parents cope when their adult children struggle to launch, battle depression or addiction, or return home unable to face independence? With empathy and insight, When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us confronts the painful gap between parental hopes and the reality of “adultolescents” who are stuck, struggling, or spiraling. In this groundbreaking book, a social psychologist who’s been chronicling the lives of American families for over two decades confronts our deepest concerns, including our silence and self-imposed sense of isolation, when our grown kids have failed to thrive. She listens to a generation that “did everything right” and expected its children to grow into happy, healthy, successful adults. But they haven’t, at least, not yet—and meanwhile, we’re letting their problems threaten our health, marriages, security, freedom, careers or retirement, and other family relationships. With warmth, empathy, and perspective, Dr. Adams offers a positive, life-affirming message to parents who are still trying to “fix” their adult children—Stop! She shows us how to separate from their problems without separating from them, and how to be a positive force in their lives while getting on with our own. As we navigate this critical passage in our second adulthood and their first, the bestselling author of I’m Still Your Mother reminds us that the pleasures and possibilities of postparenthood should not depend on how our kids turn out, but on how we do!

The Collapse of Parenting - Leonard Sax Cover Art

The Collapse of Parenting

The Collapse of Parenting How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups by Leonard Sax

"Dr. Leonard Sax's  The Collapse of Parenting  should be required reading for all parents."―Dr. Nancy Kehoe, author of Wrestling with Our Inner Angels In The Collapse of Parenting , internationally acclaimed author Leonard Sax argues that rising levels of depression and anxiety among young people can be traced to parents abdicating their authority. The result is children who lack self-control, who look to their peers and to social media for direction. Sax shows how parents can and must reassert their authority—for example by limiting screen time, by prioritizing the family, and by teaching humility and perspective—to renew their relationships with their children.      In this new edition, completely revised and updated with new stories, new evidence, and new recommendations, Dr. Sax provides concrete guidance for parents seeking to help their children fulfill their potential in the midst of a toxic culture. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a family physician and psychologist, along with hundreds of interviews with children, parents, and teachers, Sax offers a blueprint parents can use to help their children thrive in an increasingly broken world.

Multi-award-winning author Rachel Cusk’s honest memoir that captures the life-changing wonders of motherhood. Selected by The New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years “Funny and smart and refreshingly akin to a war diary—sort of Apocalypse Baby Now . . .

The Parent You Aspire to Be - Miles Carson Cover Art

The Parent You Aspire to Be

The Parent You Aspire to Be How to Parent with Patience, Purpose, and Emotional Intelligence by Miles Carson

What do you do when your child’s behavior pushes every button you have…when a simple request becomes an argument…when you hear yourself raising your voice and think, That’s not the parent I want to be? What do you do when you’re exhausted, your child is overwhelmed, and somehow everyone ends up more upset than when it started? If you’ve ever walked away from a difficult moment wishing you had handled it differently, take a breath — you’re not a bad parent. You’re a human being trying to raise another human being while carrying your own history, triggers, expectations, and exhaustion. You don’t need to become perfect. You need a better way to understand what’s happening — in your child and in yourself. The Parent You Aspire to Be offers one. Across fifteen chapters, this book takes you into the real emotional work of parenting — the moments when patience disappears, boundaries are tested, emotions run high, and connection becomes difficult. You’ll discover how to: Understand what your child’s behavior is really communicating instead of immediately treating it as defiance Recognize your own triggers and emotional patterns before they take control of your response Create boundaries that are firm without becoming harsh, keeping connection while still being the adult in the room Use discipline that teaches rather than shames, helping children develop responsibility instead of simply fearing consequences Raise children who can name, understand, and manage their emotions by seeing those skills modeled at home Communicate in ways that help your child feel heard before expecting them to listen Break painful parenting patterns from your own childhood and build something healthier for the next generation Navigate screens, siblings, school pressure, difficult seasons, and conflict without turning every challenge into a battle And perhaps most importantly: learn how to repair after you get it wrong, because good parenting isn’t about never making mistakes — it’s about knowing how to return, reconnect, and try again Inside, you won’t find a fantasy of the endlessly patient parent who always knows exactly what to say. You’ll find a more honest approach: small, conscious shifts that change the way you see your child, yourself, and the relationship between you. You’ll learn to pause before reacting, recognize the physical signs that you’re becoming overwhelmed, understand what may be underneath difficult behavior, and create a personal regulation toolbox for the moments when your patience is running thin. You’ll discover why prevention can be smarter than simply reacting after a conflict begins — and why your child’s behavior may be difficult without your child being the problem. Here’s the truth many parents need to hear: your child doesn’t need a perfect parent. They need a present one. They need someone willing to look in the mirror. Someone who can hold a boundary and still say, I love you. Someone who can listen before correcting, regulate themselves before demanding regulation from a child, and come back after a hard moment instead of allowing one mistake to define the relationship. Because the parent you aspire to be isn’t a destination you finally reach. It’s a direction you choose — again and again, in the small moments that make up a life together. Open this book when you’re ready to stop chasing perfection and start building something better: a calmer parent, a stronger connection, and a family culture your child can carry with them for the rest of their life.

A timely and important book for every parent of girls.” — Dr. Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids Something unprecedented is unfolding in the inner lives of our girls today. On the surface, they are excelling and achieving in ways that would seem unimaginable to previous generations. Yet beneath this success lies a far more urgent and unsettling truth: Girls are unraveling at alarming rates.

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.

From potty-training expert and social worker Jamie Glowacki, who’s already helped over half a million families successfully toilet train their preschoolers, comes a newly revised and updated guide that’s “straight-up, parent-tested, and funny to boot” (Amber Dusick, author of Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures ).

Her six-step, proven process to get your toddler out of diapers and onto the toilet has already worked for tens of thousands of kids and their parents.

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?!

The Nurture Revolution - Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD Cover Art

The Nurture Revolution

The Nurture Revolution Grow Your Baby's Brain and Transform Their Mental Health through the Art of Nurtured Parenting by Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD

Research in neuroscience and parenting come together in this groundbreaking book by a neuroscientist and parent, bringing to light new realizations about the power of nurture for our children's mental and physical health. Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD's work began with the goal of developing new treatments for poor mental health; she dreamed of creating a new medication to address conditions like anxiety, depression, addiction, and chronic stress. Over time, she realized that science had already uncovered a powerful medicine for alleviating mental health struggles, but the answer wasn’t a pill. It was a preventative approach: when babies' receive nurturing care in the first three years of life, it builds strong, resilient brains. How can parents best set their children up for success? In this revelatory book, Dr. Kirshenbaum makes plain that nurture is a preventative medicine against mental health issues. She challenges the idea that the way to cultivate independence is through letting babies cry it out or sleep alone; instead, the way to raise a confident, securely attached child is to lean in to nurture, to hold your infant as much as you want, support their emotions, engage in back-and-forth conversations, be present and compassionate when your baby is stressed, and share sleep.  Research has proven that nurturing experiences transform lives. Nurturing is a gift of resilience and health parents can give the next generation simply by following their instincts to care for their young.

The Dysregulated Kid The Parenting Playbook for Helping Your Child Find Calm in a Chaotic World by Dr. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge

Calm the brain first—and everything else follows. “Why does my child lose it over the smallest things?” “Why don’t rewards or consequences work?” “Why do I feel like I’m failing when I’m trying so hard?” If these questions sound familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not failing. You’re just missing the one step no one ever taught you: how to calm the nervous system first. With more than thirty years of experience as a therapist and school psychologist, and as a mom who lived this struggle herself, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge discovered that kids don’t need fixing—they need nervous system regulation. The solution isn’t stricter discipline, more rewards, or better routines. It’s a proven, science-backed method called Regulation First Parenting™, and it changes everything. In The Dysregulated Kid , you’ll learn how to: - Break free from the exhausting cycle of yelling, bribing, and punishing. - Move from co-dysregulation to co-regulation, where calm is contagious. - Shift from constant reactivity to confident, steady parenting. - Use small, doable strategies that rewire both your child’s brain and your own. - Help your child be more focused, independent, and resilient so they can do better in school and in life. This book isn’t another parenting trend—it’s the playbook for finally helping your child (and yourself) find calm in a chaotic world. With real-life tools, neuroscience explained in plain language, and hope on every page, Dr. Roseann shows you how to stop fighting with your child and start connecting. Meltdowns and battles to get your child to listen don’t have to define your days. Confidence, connection, and calmer moments are possible—and it all begins when you learn to calm the brain first. The Dysregulated Kid is the guide every parent wishes they had sooner.

The Digital Delusion - Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, Med. Cover Art

The Digital Delusion

The Digital Delusion How Classroom Technology Harms Our Kids' Learning--and How to Help Them Thrive Again; Updated Edition by Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, Med.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Educator and neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath reveals why digital tools in school consistently undermine learning—and what parents, teachers, and schools can do to push back with purpose. Our children are struggling. Schools, once alive with human connection, are now dominated by screens and digital tools. The result is unmistakable: declining performance, fractured attention, and the slow erosion of rigorous thought. For the first time in recent history, children are falling behind previous generations on many key measures of cognitive development. In The Digital Delusion, neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath reveals how the widespread use of laptops, tablets, and classroom software is undermining how children learn and develop. Drawing on decades of research, he provides practical tools for families to reassess device use at home, equips educators with the means to restore attention-rich learning environments, and helps schools make smarter decisions about technology. He exposes and dismantles the central myths driving the EdTech movement and lays out a clear path for putting people—not programs—back at the center of education. This is not a call to reject technology. It’s a call to reclaim real learning.

Do Parents Matter? - Robert A. Levine & Sarah LeVine Cover Art

Do Parents Matter?

Do Parents Matter? Why Japanese Babies Sleep Soundly, Mexican Siblings Don't Fight, and American Families Should Just Relax by Robert A. Levine & Sarah LeVine

When it comes to parenting, more isn't always better-but it is always more tiring In Japan, a boy sleeps in his parents' bed until age ten, but still shows independence in all other areas of his life. In rural India, toilet training begins one month after infants are born and is accomplished with little fanfare. In Paris, parents limit the amount of agency they give their toddlers. In America, parents grant them ever more choices, independence, and attention. Given our approach to parenting, is it any surprise that American parents are too frequently exhausted? Over the course of nearly fifty years, Robert and Sarah LeVine have conducted a groundbreaking, worldwide study of how families work. They have consistently found that children can be happy and healthy in a wide variety of conditions, not just the effort-intensive, cautious environment so many American parents drive themselves crazy trying to create. While there is always another news article or scientific fad proclaiming the importance of some factor or other, it's easy to miss the bigger picture: that children are smarter, more resilient, and more independent than we give them credit for. Do Parents Matter? is an eye-opening look at the world of human nurture, one with profound lessons for the way we think about our families.

The Middle Place - Kelly Corrigan Cover Art

The Middle Place

The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan

"The Middle Place is about calling home. Instinctively. Even when all the paperwork -- a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and seven years of tax returns -- clearly indicates you're an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking God that you're still somebody's daughter." For Kelly Corrigan, family is everything. At thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, a couple of funny, active kids, and a weekly newspaper column. But even as a thriving adult, Kelly still saw herself as George Corrigan's daughter. A garrulous Irish-American charmer from Baltimore, George was the center of the ebullient, raucous Corrigan clan. He greeted every day by opening his bedroom window and shouting, "Hello, World!" Suffice it to say, Kelly's was a colorful childhood, just the sort a girl could get attached to. Kelly lives deep within what she calls the Middle Place -- "that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap" -- comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. But she's abruptly shoved into a coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast -- and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. And so Kelly's journey to full-blown adulthood begins. When George, too, learns he has late-stage cancer, it is Kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her -- and show us a woman as she finally takes the leap and grows up. Kelly Corrigan is a natural-born storyteller, a gift you quickly recognize as her father's legacy, and her stories are rich with everyday details. She captures the beat of an ordinary life and the tender, sometimes fractious moments that bind families together. Rueful and honest, Kelly is the prized friend who will tell you her darkest, lowest, screwiest thoughts, and then later, dance on the coffee table at your party. Funny, yet heart-wrenching, The Middle Place is about being a parent and a child at the same time. It is about the special double-vision you get when you are standing with one foot in each place. It is about the family you make and the family you came from -- and locating, navigating, and finally celebrating the place where they meet. It is about reaching for life with both hands -- and finding it.

'The thing about having a second baby is it's likely to differ a lot from your first experience.

The book offers a friendly feel that reminds us issues and all, we'll be just fine' Mirror, Best Baby Books for Parents 2020 Having a second baby is a very different experience from having your first, yet there is little recognition of the wide range of issues that need to be considered when bringing a second child into the family. In this incredibly helpful book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith helps parents feel more positive and prepared for life with two children. The book begins with the obvious question: when is the right time to add another member to the family? It then goes on to examine the specific issues that can arise with a second pregnancy and birth; the common concerns about siblings, such as how to prepare your firstborn for what's to come; how to cope with the practicalities of life with two young children (aka actually managing to get anything done!); and the feelings parents are likely to experience, too. The Second Baby Book examines all the questions and issues Sarah herself faced second time around, as well as sharing the experiences of the many parents who have sought her advice. It also highlights what scientific studies reveal about such issues as the spacing of children and the differences between first and second births. Practical, insightful and honest, this book will help you understand the challenges ahead but, more importantly, it will equip you to meet them with knowledge, confidence and a sense of excitement for the future.

Or Simpsons? Whether your family is like the Waltons, the Simpsons or the Bundys... Whether you're living in the thirteen hundreds, the eighteen hundreds or the twenty-first century, it's never easy raising a family.

If you look harder still though, you'll see that some facet of their personalities will fit each and every one of these stereotypes.

The only thing harder than raising a teen with your spouse's help...is doing it alone. These tips will help. - When hobbies become obsessions. When is it time to be alarmed by your teen's obsession with computers, video games, the Internet, or even TV and books?
