Once children hit adolescence, it seems as if overnight "I love
you" becomes "leave me alone" and any question from a parent can be
dismissed with one word: "fine." But while they may not show it,
teenagers benefit from their parents' curiosity, delight and
connection. In The Teen Interpreter, psychologist Terri Apter looks
inside adolescents' minds-minds that are experiencing powerful new
emotions and awareness of the world around them-to show how parents
can revitalise their relationship. She illuminates the rapid
neurological developments of a teenagers' brain, explains the power
of teenage friendships, and explores the positives and pitfalls of
social media. With perceptive conversation exercises that
synthesise research from more than thirty years in the field, Apter
illustrates how teenagers signal their changing needs and
identities-and how parents can interpret these signals to see the
world through their teenager's eyes. The Teen Interpreter is a
generous roadmap for enjoying the most challenging, and rewarding,
parenting years.
Respected parenting counselor Jay Kesler offers ten proven
principles to help parents teach the concept of cause and effect,
learn how to listen more than lecture, and model a life-changing
love for God-resulting in emotionally healthy teenagers.
'Emily Oster is the non-judgemental girlfriend holding our hand and
guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work
to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way' Amy Schumer
Parenting is full of decisions, nearly all of which can be agonized
over. There is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at
you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet.
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 and offers
non-judgemental ways to consider our options in light of the facts.
Cribsheet is a thinking parent's guide that empowers us to make
better, less fraught decisions - and stay sane in the years before
preschool.

"Intense. Stunning. Needed. Jillian's words will help you discover
beauty in the unexpected."--LESLIE MEANS, creator of Her View From
Home "Thoughtful and honest, Jillian's story of transformation
reminds us that God is present and pursuing us, even in the most
unexpected moments of our lives. Read and be changed."--KAYLA
CRAIG, author of To Light Their Way and creator of Liturgies for
Parents What if the unexpected is the beginning of becoming your
truest self? Jillian Benfield was living life in the spotlight as a
TV journalist, but after receiving a life-altering diagnosis for
her unborn son, she realized no camera-ready outfit could dress up
her grief. Overcoming this unexpected circumstance wasn't an
option. She would have to undergo it instead. In doing so, she
discovered who she was and who God wanted her to become. In this
riveting story filled with grit and grace, Jillian helps you break
down the false constructs you've built around God and your
identity. You won't avoid your pain, but you'll learn to feel it,
in a healing way. And you'll discover how your internal
transformation leads to external purpose. No matter what you're
going through, you're invited to open this gift: The Gift of the
Unexpected
Few life experiences feature emotional swings as extreme as those
of pregnancy--it's a monumental mix of both intense excitement and
skip-a-beat anxiety. How do you respond to such a situation? If
you're like most, you scour websites, read books, browse blogs, and
pick the brains of every friend, family member, and store clerk
who's ever had a baby. You talk about the ups and downs, the
cravings and the nausea, the maternity clothes and the stretch
marks. During this 280-day journey, this sometimes scattered
mind-set is perfectly natural--and healthy. But often you need help
cutting through the clutter. In "YOU: Having a Baby," Dr. Mehmet Oz
and Dr. Michael Roizen, America's Doctors, will help ease your
tension by teaching you not only about "what "you can do but also
"why "you should do it. They'll explore the biology of your body
with amazing insights about a cutting-edge new field called
epigenetics, which gives you the power to change the genetic
destiny of your child. And they'll give you all the ins and outs of
nutrition, exercise, hormones, fetal development, and many more
pregnancy-related issues. Using their signature wit and wisdom,
they'll test your knowledge, bust many myths, and reassure you that
your maternal instincts are usually pretty darn good. After all,
the doctors want the exact same thing as you do during this
journey--a healthy baby (and a healthy mom). Be assured that "YOU:
Having a Baby "will be one of your favorite passengers on this
wonderful ride.
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.
