This is a joke book – a collection of real conversations I’ve had with my offspring, or that they’ve had with me, mostly against my will. I started keeping records for my own entertainment when they began to talk properly.
Two-year-old: What’s that?
Me: My nipple.
Two-year-old: Is it dead?
I regretted teaching them to speak once pre-adolescence and Covid lockdowns arrived – life phases with equivalent survival strategies and effects.
Nine-year-old: Good news! While you were in your meeting, I finished your puzzle!
Me: …
Nine-year-old: I could see it was too hard for you.
Thirteen-year-old: I don’t like boys.
Me: Okay.
Thirteen-year-old: I like cats.
Me: Okay!
Thirteen-year-old: So … not your daughter, then.
I hope it never ends. Life is a set-up, and parenting is the punchline. As my mother once said, ‘I hope one day you have children. And then we’ll see who’s laughing.’
The perfect gift for expecting parents, the classic and hilarious Safe Baby Handling Tips is back with three times as many tips to keep you laughing while caring for your newborn.
Worried about protecting your baby from the abundant harm of everyday living? Authors David and Kelly Sopp have you covered with Safe Baby Handling Tips, which offers laugh-out-loud guidance on baby care for anyone overwhelmed and befuddled-i.e., everyone-when it comes to caring for their new bundles of joy. With dozens of handling tips, readers will learn everything they need to keep their child alive and thriving beyond the first year. No, you can't stow them in the overhead compartment on flights. During playtime, babies prefer peek-a-boo to chess. And using a bath towel is far more safe and effective than putting your kiddo in the dryer. Beyond the safety tips, this handy guide also walks you through the many changes in lifestyle you'll face and keeps you on your toes with child-rearing quizzes.
Why make everything up as you go along when this gifty, indispensable guide can show you how to be a little less incompetent as parents? You'll laugh, you'll cry (from sleep deprivation), and your baby will be safer for it.

Acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of
free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents
is changing our world
From 2010, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed
with social media apps, unsupervised time online soared while
face-to-face conversations with friends and family plummeted, and so
did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of
diminishing childhood freedom and over-supervision in the real world,
depriving children of the experiences they most need to become strong
and self-governing adults.
The Anxious Generation delves into the latest research to show how this
shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep
deprivation to addiction – and lays the foundations of isolation and
fear that define society today. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed
full of cutting-edge science and practical advice, this eye-opening
book is a life-raft for anyone who wants to understand how the most
rapid rewiring of human relationships and consciousness in human
history has made it harder for all of us to think, focus, forget
ourselves enough to care about others and build close relationships.
Let go of perfect and become a transformative, positive influence in a child’s life while creating your own definition of success with this “wisdom-packed guide” from developmental psychologist and podcaster Dr. Aliza Pressman.
In the age of high-pressure parenting, when so many of us feel like we’ve got to get everything exactly right the first time, Dr. Aliza Pressman is the compassionate, reassuring expert we all need—and the one whose advice we can all use. Already beloved by listeners of the hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair.
The 5 Principles of Parenting doesn’t presume to tell you how to parent with “my way is right” advice because the science is clear: There’s no one “right” way to raise good humans. No matter how you were raised, how your coparent behaves, or how your kids have been parented up until now, The 5 Principles of Parenting offers “accessible advice, reflective tools, and everyday parenting strategies” (Daniel Siegel, MD, New Your Times bestselling author) to chart a manageable course for raising good humans that’s aligned with your own values and with your own children’s unique temperaments.
Whether you’re in the trenches with a toddler or a tween (because spoiler alert: the tantrums of childhood mirror the tantrums of adolescence), it’s never too late to learn to use these 5 principles to reparent yourself and help your kids build the resilience they need to thrive. Through practice and normalizing imperfection, along the way you’ll discover the person you’re ultimately raising is yourself. By becoming more intentional people, we become better parents. By becoming better parents, we become better people. Let’s get started.

disorder. These kids relentlessly push the boundaries set for them

parents how to recognize the signs and modify the behavior of their
O.D.D. child.
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!
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.
