In You Are Extraordinary, Craig and Samantha Johnson use fun rhymes
and colorful pictures to celebrate kids who have unique challenges
and gifts. Every page in this book focuses on a different ability
or diverse circumstance, such as autism, different ethnicities,
unique sizes and body types, physical limitations, cancer,
adoptions, and more. You Are Extraordinary is an inspiring reminder
to treat others with kindness and live out the truth that you are
loved! And a letter to parents at the beginning of the book will
encourage parents and caregivers and remind them that they're not
alone. As the parents of a child with special needs, Craig and
Samantha Johnson understand that kids who are a bit different from
others sometimes need extra reassurance that God has an amazing
purpose for them-not just despite their differences but because of
them! The authors are the founders of Champions Club, an
international ministry of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, for
kids, teens, and adults with special needs. Joel Osteen, the senior
pastor of Lakewood, is one of the many well-known supporters of
Champions Clubs around the country. With its fun and uplifting
message, You Are Extraordinary reminds children and adults alike
that the world is a beautiful place when we treat everyone as the
exceptional people they are!

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
For children to develop to their fullest potential, their sensory
system - which, in addition to the big five of sight, hearing,
taste, touch, and smell, includes movement and balance
(vestibular), body awareness (proprioception), and internal
perception (interoception) - needs to be stimulated from the time
they are born. Their senses flourish when they explore their
environment by touching new textures, including their food,
running, jumping, climbing, and splashing outside - never through
screens. As an occupational therapist with a specialty in sensory
integration and early childhood development, Dr Allie Ticktin has
seen an alarming increase in cases of children who can't sit in
circle time or at their desk upright and who are delayed in
learning to walk, talk, or socialise, many of whom have been
diagnosed with ADHD or sensory processing disorders, in part
because these critical systems have been neglected. In the recent
past, the sensory system and many developmental skills evolved
naturally outside in the garden or on the playground. But with
increasing time pressures for both kids and parents, as well as
safety concerns, children are often sat in front of screens,
without sufficient opportunity to explore and interact with their
environment. The good news is that boosting your child's sensory
development doesn't take enormous amounts of time or supplies, or
any special skills. In Play to Progress, Ticktin discusses the
eight sensory systems and how a child uses them, and offers easy,
fun activities that will encourage their development so that your
little one will be better able to respond to their emotions, build
friendships, communicate their needs, and thrive in school. That's
the power of sensory play.
The traditional zero-tolerance, 'just say no ' attitude ignores the
cold hard fact that most kids will, at some point, experiment with
drugs or alcohol. This is a practical guide for parents that takes
a calming, realistic approach to dealing with drug and alcohol use
among kids and teens.
Physical play is vital to young children's development. This
practical, hands-on resource encourages you to incorporate
boisterous physical play into every day and offers concrete advice
on how to create spaces for safe play, how to effectively work big
body movement into children's daily schedule, and how to use
physical play to make teaching practice more dynamic and effective.
Learn about the importance of big body play for social and
emotional development throughout life. Discover how to communicate
about safe and intentional rough and tumble play with children and
families Incorporate big body play into all areas of the child care
program while maintaining boundaries and teaching self-regulation.
Use the family companion (sold separately) to educate families on
the importance of rough and tumble play for all children.
