Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I wanted my parents to understand and support my career choice, but they were always criticizing me and telling me that I didn’t know how to think about the future. I felt like they didn’t support or approve of my choice. #2 When I became a real adult and stopped seeking approval from my parents, I let go of my unrealistic expectations of what they could do for me. I no longer tried to force them to accept my career path, and I didn’t have to explain anymore why I was writing books and teaching students. #3 Parent Yourself Again is a book that helps you address the inner child and the inner parent, two aspects of the mind that can be difficult to deal with. It teaches you how to reconcile them so they can work together as a team. #4 The parent-child relationship is not just external, but also internal. The inner child and the inner parent are not in balance, and this can impact us. We will work on the inner parent to help it grow and become a better parent for our inner child.

It's OK Not to Share and Other Renegade Rules for Raising Competent and Compassionate Kids
Author: Heather ShumakerPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101597135
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it’s easy to lose track of where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects at the playground (What if my kid likes to rough house—isn’t this ok as long as no one gets hurt? And what if my kid just doesn’t feel like sharing?). In this inspiring and enlightening book, Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down “the rules” to raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids. Drawing on her own experiences as the mother of two small children, as well as on the work of child psychologists, pediatricians, educators and so on, in this book Shumaker gets to the heart of the matter on a host of important questions. Hint: many of the rules aren’t what you think they are! The “rules” in this book focus on the toddler and preschool years—an important time for laying the foundation for competent and compassionate older kids and then adults. Here are a few of the rules: • It’s OK if it’s not hurting people or property • Bombs, guns and bad guys allowed. • Boys can wear tutus. • Pictures don’t have to be pretty. • Paint off the paper! • Sex ed starts in preschool • Kids don’t have to say “Sorry.” • Love your kid’s lies. IT’S OK NOT TO SHARE is an essential resource for any parent hoping to avoid PLAYDATEGATE (i.e. your child’s behavior in a social interaction with another child clearly doesn’t meet with another parent’s approval)!

Dad Is Fat
Author: Jim GaffiganPublisher: Crown Archetype
ISBN: 0385349068
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Jim Gaffigan never imagined he would have his own kids. Though he grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family, Jim was satisfied with the nomadic, nocturnal life of a standup comedian, and was content to be "that weird uncle who lives in an apartment by himself in New York that everyone in the family speculates about." But all that changed when he married and found out his wife, Jeannie "is someone who gets pregnant looking at babies." Five kids later, the comedian whose riffs on everything from Hot Pockets to Jesus have scored millions of hits on YouTube, started to tweet about the mistakes and victories of his life as a dad. Those tweets struck such a chord that he soon passed the million followers mark. But it turns out 140 characters are not enough to express all the joys and horrors of life with five kids, so he's now sharing it all in Dad Is Fat. From new parents to empty nesters to Jim's twenty-something fans, everyone will recognize their own families in these hilarious takes on everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to growing up in a big family ("I always assumed my father had six children so he could have a sufficient lawn crew") to changing diapers in the middle of the night ("like The Hurt Locker but much more dangerous") to bedtime (aka "Negotiating with Terrorists"). Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.
