Parenting is about to get easier--and a whole lot more effective… In a time when so many children and young adults seem to be struggling, parents are looking for help in bringing up mentally healthy kids who are equipped to thrive. Finally, evidence-based help is now available for overwhelmed parents who are trying their best but feel like they’re falling short. #1 New York Times bestselling author and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen and child psychologist Dr. Charles Fay have teamed up to reveal what’s missing from most parenting books. It’s the fact that you need to address both the brain and the mind of your child (and yourself) in order to effectively raise good and strong humans. In this groundbreaking book where neuroscience meets love and logic, parents are given practical tools to help children of all ages go from behavioral problems like defiance, meltdowns, and power struggles to being:
Let Dr. Amen and Dr. Fay help you learn how to be the parent you've always dreamed you could be―and raise great kids who are on their way to reaching their full potential, including their best possible mental health.
From New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind, an essential investigation into the collapse of youth mental health—and a plan for a healthier, freer childhood. After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. Why? In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood. Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children—and ourselves—from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.
Sy sal notas maak oor haar kinders, besluit 'n vrou voor haar jongste se geboorte. “Voor ek vergeet. Voor hulle groot is, weg, in 'n oogwink.” Sy lê oomblikke vas: die vrae sonder antwoorde, gebedjies, 'n eerste wisseltand, sywurms, huisvergaderings, die huiskat wat kleintjies kry en drome van eendag.

Dis haar kennismaking met ouers se grootste vrees en verlies wanneer die jongste op byna agt en dertig sterf. Die boek sluit aan by die genre van die moeder-memoir en die subgenre van verlies.

In her book, Never Assume. Getting to Know Children Before Labeling
Them. Dr. McGuire reminds us that children are born with a profile
of temperament traits that rule how they behave or respond to what
is occurring in their environment. We, as adults, do not always
remember our own childhood differences and how they made us feel.
Now living in a different time with more resources, education and
science helping us through observations, stories of children can be
a means of letting adults see children from a more objective eye,
rather than the subjective eye colored by worry, fear or
frustration.
In your hands is the manual for raising children. Who says you can't be professionally successful and a good parent? Stop compromising. Satisfying work and a happy family? Yes, you can have it all. Chris Efessiou is the innovative, brazen mentor that every
working parent needs. As an astute business leader, Chris learned
early on that the skills he acquired in the boardroom transitioned
seamlessly to the family room. Leading by example, mentoring, team
building, mutual respect, accountability and trust are strategies
that are equally effective when dealing with employees or assertive
teens. By tuning into the message of CDO Chief Daddy Officer, you
can be the same organized, effective leader at home that you are at
the office, because you will learn how to harness your business
smarts and channel them into proactive parenting. "Being
professionally ambitious and a loving, emotionally available parent
are not mutually exclusive," the author emphasizes, "because one
costs the other nothing."
