For generations, the songs and rhymes of American folk culture have
delighted little ones and connected adult and child. These
treasures were once passed on from parent or grandparent to child,
but are now in danger of being lost and forgotten with changes in
technology and family structure. This series helps to develop a
young child's imagination and musical sensibilities, as well as
create an intimate quiet time between parent and child. Playing
circle games and singing simple songs are the easiest of activities
for very young children to take part in. This collection includes
58 songs and rhymes, such as "Hot Cross Buns and It's Raining",
"It's Pouring", as well as well-known circles such as "Here We Go
Round the Mulberry Bush".

Does your child suffer from anxiety or depression? Are you at a

on what you can do to give your child the best chance of recovery,
as well as offering insight into the often complicated system of
mental healthcare. Covering practical issues such as diet and
routine, as well as more specialized medical information - from the
professionals you might encounter to the prescriptions offered -
this book is an A to Z guide for parents of anxious or depressed
children and will help you maximize your child's likelihood of a
happy, confident future.
Praise for the author: 'Dyregrov's writing is clear in its
description, and explicit in its advice, and demonstrates that the
daunting task of helping a child through grief is both manageable
and rewarding' - Bereavement Care 'This insightful text will be of
great help to all who care for pre-school children - parents,
kindergarten teachers, ministers of religion, police, welfare
workers - the list is endless. If they learn the values reflected
in this small book, then bereaved children everywhere will grow up
with far fewer hang-ups about the only certainty in life.' - from
the foreword by Professor William Yule It is a common misconception
that pre-school children are not capable of experiencing grief in
the same way that older children do. Grief in Young Children
challenges this assumption, demonstrating that although young
children may not express grief in the same way as older children,
they still need to be supported through loss. Illustrated
throughout with case examples, the author explores young children's
reactions to death and loss, both immediately after the event and
over time. For example, young children may engage in `magic
thinking', believing that wishing that someone were dead can
actually cause death, which leads to feelings of guilt. Full of
practical advice on issues such as how to keep children in touch
with their memories, answer their questions, allay their fears and
explore their feelings through play, this accessible book enables
adults to work with children to develop an acceptance of grief and
an understanding of death and loss. This book is essential reading
for parents, carers, counsellors and teachers, and is complemented
by the companion volume Grief in Children: A Handbook for Adults,
Second Edition, which caters for school-age children, also written
by Atle Dyregrov and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
This is the ultimate guide to raising the tween/teen boy in your
life. It covers everything from relationships, social media,
friendships and school, dealing with topics like porn, drugs and
video games, as well as physical and mental changes. Dr Natterson
helps parents navigate the tricky stage of puberty - when loud,
rambunctious boys often turn into silent, uncommunicative beings
who slink behind closed doors. She argues that it's up to parents
to improve their communication with their son and help him prepare
for life as an adult, armed with the knowledge needed to become a
well-rounded human being. This book looks at the dramatic shifts
boys face physically, mentally, emotionally and socially, filtered
through the Dr Natterson's expert medical and child development
lens. 'Decoding Boys debunks the widespread myth of the inscrutable
teenage boy. Dr. Cara Natterson illuminates boys' inner lives,
details the pressures they face from the outside world, and teaches
parents how to effectively engage and support their adolescent
sons. Decoding Boys is clear, wise, and eye-opening. If you're
raising a boy, you need this brilliant book.' - Lisa Damour, PhD,
New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure
'Decoding Boys is the ultimate guide to help you understand and
raise your boys with acceptance and perspective. Reading it is like
having an empathetic, really smart friend who totally gets what you
are going through and is helpful every step of the way!' - Mallika
Chopra, author of Living with Intent 'Decoding Boys is the book
we've been waiting for! Dr. Cara Natterson tackles the topics that
are difficult for parents to understand, let alone discuss with
their children. She demystifies the complex science of male puberty
and delivers sound advice for any adult living with-and wanting to
support-an increasingly silent teenage boy.' - Louise Greenspan,
M.D., coauthor of The New Puberty, How to Navigate Early
Development in Today's Girls
