Three best friends. One late-night lifeline.Meet Aisha, Sophy and
Mel. Three new mums. All absolutely shattered. For her social media
fans, influencer Sophy has the picture-perfect life. But why does
she feel so lonely all the time? Older mum Mel wasn't planning on
being a mum later in life. What does this all mean for the career
that she loved? Can she ever go back? And Aisha, whose much loved
twin boys bring her so much joy, but have caused a rift in her own
family that she isn't sure she can ever fix. Navigating this new
world of motherhood is hard. And the only sanity these three
friends have is their 3am mums' club, where they can chat and
support each other in the dark of the night as their babies,
finally, finally sleep. But in the still of the night, secrets are
revealed that could turn all their lives upside down.... more than
they already are! Bestselling author Nina Manning is back with a
brand-new story of mum guilt, parenting pitfalls and friendship
around the clock.
"Relax The horror stories you have heard about adolescence are
false."
This is Dr. Laurence Steinberg's reassuring message to parents in
this newly revised edition of his classic book "You and Your
Adolescent," which "Publishers Weekly "says is "filled with solid
advice for the parents of adolescents." Among the new topics in
this updated edition:
* An expanded definition of adolescence to age 25, recognizing that
college graduates often remain dependent on their parents for an
extended period, creating a new parent-child dynamic
* A discussion of social media that addresses whether parents of
preteens and young teens should monitor use of these new
communication tools
* What new research into the adolescent brain tells us about
teenage behavior
As Dr. Steinberg writes, "Most books written for parents of
teenagers were survival guides (many still are). Nowadays,
adolescence is too long--15 years in some families--for mere
survival. Knowledge, not fortitude, is what today's parents need.
That's where this book comes in."
An updated edition of the Sunday Times bestseller, Your Child Is Not Broken is THE book for parents who need permission to do things differently.
An unapologetic, deeply moving manual for parents of neurodivergent children from Heidi Mavir, a late-identified, neurodivergent adult and parent to an autistic/ADHD teenager.
This updated edition includes information on Pathological Demand Avoidance, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, an interview with Heidi's son Theo and more.
Follow Heidi's irreverent and brutally honest story of her fight to be seen, heard and supported, while swimming against a tide of parent blame, ableist stereotypes and the weight of other people’s opinions.
Your Child Is Not Broken is a call to arms for parents and carers of autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent children. It is the book that no one has dared to write but every parent needs to read. Heidi’s hilarious anecdotes and heartbreaking storytelling offer validation, comfort, reassurance and wisdom to parents who need it the most.
