Have you ever had to deal with a screaming child, an obnoxious
teenager or a class of 30 exuberant eight year olds? The Little
Book Of Behaviour is amusing and informative, full of tried and
tested strategies, suggestions and entertaining anecdotes. With
jargon kept to a minimum, this insightful pocket guide has been
written by a diagnosed dyslexic, who is passionate about
understanding the causes and consequences of human behaviour. The
author has a very real understanding of behaviour born from
firsthand experience, having found traditional learning difficult
and being completely misunderstood at school. "You see it was easy
for me to help others who were feeling massively overwhelmed
because I had been there." During his following years working with
people from a whole range of backgrounds including learning
difficulties, emotional and behavioural problems and mainstream
school children, he has analysed and refined his behaviour
management skills. The Little Book Of Behaviour, trying to save the
world one brain at a time!
An award-winning guide to the sometimes erratic and confusing behavior of teenage girls. Dr. Lisa Damour worked as an expert collaborator on Pixar’s Inside Out 2!
In this sane, highly engaging, and informed guide for parents of daughters, Dr. Damour draws on decades of experience and the latest research to reveal the seven distinct—and absolutely normal—developmental transitions that turn girls into grown-ups, including Parting with Childhood, Contending with Adult Authority, Entering the Romantic World, and Caring for Herself.
Providing realistic scenarios and welcome advice on how to engage daughters in smart, constructive ways, Untangled gives parents a broad framework for understanding their daughters while addressing their most common questions, including
- My thirteen-year-old rolls her eyes when I try to talk to her, and only does it more when I get angry with her about it. How should I respond?
- Do I tell my teen daughter that I’m checking her phone?
- My daughter suffers from test anxiety. What can I do to help her?
- Where’s the line between healthy eating and having an eating disorder?
- My teenage daughter wants to know why I’m against pot when it’s legal in some states. What should I say?
- • My daughter’s friend is cutting herself. Do I call the girl’s mother to let her know?
Perhaps most important, Untangled helps mothers and fathers understand, connect, and grow with their daughters. When parents know what makes their daughter tick, they can embrace and enjoy the challenge of raising a healthy, happy young woman.
Erica Neser has been working with mothers and babies as a
breastfeeding consultant and infant massage Instructor for more
than a decade. This text grew from the knowledge and insights she
gained over years in practice, but also from the personal
experience of raising three children. "I have tried to jam-pack
this guide with as much practical, sensitive, baby-friendly
information as possible, while keeping it in an easy-to-read format
(as a friend pointed out: it must be easy on tired eyes in dim
light!).
How can we answer the many questions young children have about
death? Looking for a meaningful way to explain to neighbourhood
children the death of a five-year-old friend, Doris Stickney
adapted the graceful fable about the waterbug that changed into a
dragonfly. First published under the title "Death" in 'Colloquy'
(December 1971), the story was revised and expanded in 1982 to
become the current bestselling Waterbugs and Dragonflies. This
edition features full-colour paintings by Gloria Ortiz Hernandez,
an artist whose work has been exhibited in Europe, South America,
and the USA. A native of Columbia, she currently lives and creates
her work on a farm in Pennsylvania.
Erica Neser het meer as 'n dekade se ervaring as
borsvoedingkonsultant en babamasseringinstrukteur en het deur die
jare ’n spesiale belangstelling in babas se slaappatrone ontwikkel
– op professionele en persoonlike vlak. Hierdie gids het begin as
’n artikel van twee bladsye vir die moeders by haar klinieke, en
het aanhou groei namate sy oor die jare meer en meer geleer het oor
slaap. "My doel met die gids is om jou ’n keuse van metodes en
opinies te gee, sodat jy kan besluit wat die beste vir jou baba
gaan werk. Ek het probeer om dit vol te laai met praktiese,
sensitiewe en babavriendelike raad, maar dit steeds in ’n maklik
leesbare formaat te hou (iemand het gese: ’n mens moet dit met moee
oe in die halfdonker kan lees!).
