Children are From Heaven
by John Gray
Our Price: $13
Availability: Usually ships within 24
hours.
Amazon Review: Psychologist John Gray (he of Men Are from Mars... fame) cites a need to shift from "fear-based parenting" (a punitive and oppressive approach to child rearing) to "love-based parenting" (which accepts children's desires and negative emotions while still setting reasonable limits). With child and teen violence increasing, rampant low self-esteem, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and attention deficit disorder, he says, "the Western free world is experiencing a crisis in parenting. Almost all parents today are questioning both the old and the new ways of parenting. Nothing seems to be working." Click here to buy this selection or read more reviews

Dr. Toy's Smart Play : How to Raise a Child With a High Pq
by Stevanne, Ph.D. Auerbach (Editor), Heather Jackson
List Price: $13.95
Our Price: $11.16
You Save: $2.79 (20%)
Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours.
Play, especially active, creative, and educational play, helps children develop such basic social and academic skills as concentration, problem solving, communication, and cooperation. Factors such as safety, durability, flexibility, and age appropriateness complicate the challenge parents face in choosing the right toys for their children at the right time. Auerbach applies her scientific but not preachy expertise to that challenge. She relies as much on common sense and parenting insight as on scholarly research to suggest toys ranging from brooms and plastic cups to books and watercolors to amuse, stimulate, and activate children. Individual chapters describe developmental progress from infancy through age 12, advising age-appropriate toys and products as well as items for children with special needs. For backup to the book, Auerbach, familiar to many for her syndicated column, "Dr. Toy," maintains a Web site for toy evaluation.

Full Esteem Ahead: 100 Ways to Build Self-Esteem in Children and Adults by Diane Loomans, Julia Loomans (Contributor), Nancy Carleton (Editor) One hundred practical ways to increase children's self esteem. Here are several titles that offer an alterative to drug treatment. No More Ritalin:Treating Adhd Without Drugs by Mary, Dr Block, Mary Ann Block The Natural Approach to Attention Deficit Disorder (Add) : Drug-Free Ways to Treat the Roots of This Childhood Epidemic (Keats Good Health Guide) by Ronald L. Hoffman ADD, The Natural Approach by Nina Anderson, Howard Peiper The A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. Diet! A Comprehensive Look at Contributing Factors and Natural Treatments for Symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder and hyp by Rachel Bell, Howard Peiper, Nina Anderson (Editor), Doris Rapp The Myth of the A.D.D Child:50 Ways to Improve Your Child's Behavior and Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion by Thomas Armstrong Ritalin-Free Kids : Safe and Effective Homeopathic Medicine for Add and Other Behavioral and Learning Problems by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, Robert Ullman, Edward Chapman The Dangerous Book for Boys, by Conn and Hal Iggulden Amazon.com Review: Equal parts droll and gorgeous nostalgia book and heartfelt plea for a renewed sense of adventure in the lives of boys and men, Conn and Hal Iggulden's The Dangerous Book for Boys became a mammoth bestseller in the United Kingdom in 2006. Adapted, in moderation, for American customs in this edition (cricket is gone, rugby remains; conkers are out, Navajo Code Talkers in), The Dangerous Book is a guide book for dads as well as their sons, as a reminder of lore and technique that have not yet been completely lost to the digital age. Recall the adventures of Scott of the Antarctic and the Battle of the Somme, relearn how to palm a coin, tan a skin, and, most charmingly, wrap a package in brown paper and string. The book's ambitions are both modest and winningly optimistic: you get the sense that by learning how to place a splint or write in invisible ink, a boy might be prepared for anything, even girls (which warrant a small but wise chapter of their own). The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, by Lee Carroll, Jan Tober An Indigo Child is a child who displays new and unusual psychological attributes that reveal a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has factors that suggest that parents and teachers change their treatment and upbringing of these special kids in order to achieve balance. Talking Back to Ritalin: What Doctors Aren't Telling You About Stimulants and ADHD, by Peter Roger Breggin, Dick Scruggs The best-selling author of Talking Back to Prozac offers a compelling book to challenge the use of Ritalin to treat ADD & ADHD. 
Natural Prozac: Learning to Release Your Body's Own Anti-Depressants by Dr. Joel Robertson with Tom Monte Learn safe, simple and natural methods of altering brain chemistry to permanently break the cycle of depression without drugs. This scientifically proven method includes a comprehensive guide to nutrition and exercise, new techniques for breaking free from negative habits, and all-natural, nontoxic methods for boosting those brain chemicals that renew one's sense of well-being and promote relaxation and confidence. | |
