Offers 25 practical, action-oriented tips for parents before,
during, and after a move. This work includes tips such as: giving
kids a sense of control and involvement in the move, making the
physical move less stressful, and creating a sense of belonging in
a new home. It is useful for those looking to help children adjust
to a move.
For parents who want to slow down, but who don't know how; for
families with too much stuff, too many choices and too much
information. Here are four simple steps for decluttering, quieting,
and soothing family dynamics so that children can thrive at school,
get along with peers, and nurture well-being. Using the
extraordinary power of less, Kim John Payne, one of the world's
leading Rudolf Steiner/Waldorf educators, offers novel ways to help
children feel calmer, happier, and more secure.
Research shows that 'normal' infant sleep is not what most experts
claim it to be. In fact, many of today's sleep 'problems' with
young babies and children predominantly occur in the developed
world. In Why Your Baby's Sleep Matters, renowned gentle parenting
expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith demonstrates how nurturing babies at
night helps their brain development, and covers the topics every
parent of a new baby will need to know about, including naps, SIDS,
night weaning, coping with your own exhaustion - and even dealing
with advice and criticism from others.
Brain Candy for expectant parents
Pregnancy is an adventure.
Lots of books tell you the basics--"the baby is the size of insert
fruit here]." But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to
wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body--and vice
versa--and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn't ask
her doctor, such as:
- Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it?
- Can you predict your baby's temperament?
- Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely
to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?
- Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?
- How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years
later?
This is a different kind of pregnancy book--thoughtful, fun, and
filled with information you won't find anywhere else.
