Of Course I Love You ... now Go to Your Room order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Diane Levy
This book presents a modern approach to parenting. Diane Levy believes children must be taught to experience and handle their emotions and they must learn self-discipline. There are two main tenets to the new approach to parenting developed in the book: Emotional Support and Limit Setting. It takes about twenty years to raise a child. Within that twenty years, the author believes, you will have taught - or led your child towards the teaching of all the skills they will need to function in the world away from home. The first responsibility of parents is to give children emotional support so that they will have the courage to have the experiences and do the learning that they need to become emotionally independent adults. The second responsibility is to set suitable boundaries and expectations so that they can safely tread the path from undisciplined babies to self-disciplined adults. The author discusses her approach to parenting in the ... more

The Highly Sensitive Child : Helping Our Children Thrive When the World Overwhelms Them order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 31.00 each
Paperback
Author: Elaine N. Aron
15-20 per cent of children are highly sensitive - and they are often labelled shy, introverted, fussy or faddy. The real story is very different though and this practical book helps parents know what to do, when to back off, and how to ensure their child is given the right sort of treatment at school. It provides parents with insights and information so they can understand high sensitivity, and help their highly sensitive child thrive in the world. It is important for these children to be understood so they can be helped to avoid the common traps of shyness and withdrawal that many highly sensitive children fall into as they develop. It contains a questionnaire for parents to find out if their child has the traits common in highly sensitive children. It also discusses HSC's at different ages - infant, toddler, school-age and adolescent.

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Nigel Latta
Why are boys so noisy? Why do they run around all the time and break things? Why can't they focus on important things like eating vegetables and tidying up? Why do they leave everything to the last minute? Why are they so messy, and why doesn't it bother them? Why are they fascinated with things that can burn, blind and cripple them? Why don't they care about clothes or if their hair looks nice? Why do they lose the gift of speech at adolescence and how do I keep communicating with them? Why do they get so smelly? Why can't they just meet a nice girl, settle down and make me some grandkids? All this and more will be revealed with Nigel's trademark entertaining and edifying style, including pragmatic and accessible text, with quirky but relevant research and fascinating case studies to help mothers cope with the particular challenges involved in raising their sons.

Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them?

Too Safe For Their Own Good : How Risk & Responsibility Help Teens Thrive order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 29.95 each
Paperback
Author: Michael Ungar
While our kids are safer now than they have ever been, we are constantly fearful for them. We drive them everywhere, organise their time, and cocoon them from every imaginable danger, assuming we're doing the right thing. Even when they are teenagers we continue to manage their lives, and unwittingly prevent their development. In this ground-breaking new book, internationally renowned family therapist and social worker Michael Ungar shows why our constant need to keep our kids safe often puts them in harm's way. By protecting them from failure and disappointment, challenge and responsibility, many of our children are missing out on the benefits that come with manageable amounts of risk.
Accessible, inspiring and practical, Too Safe for Their Own Good helps concerned parents set appropriate limits and provides concrete suggestions for allowing children the chance to experience the rites of passage that will help them become ... more

What's Happening to Our Girls? order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author: Maggie Hamilton
Too much, too soon.

Why are girls as young as five years old concerned about their looks and addicted to shopping?

Why are they having sex and binge-drinking so young, responding to chat-room predators, and bullying their peers via email and text messages?

Why are depression, cutting and eating disorders on the rise, and why, with so much choice, do so many just want to marry young and have babies?

In a few short years our girls have become vulnerable - not just teen girls, but also young girls and baby girls. They are being forced to grow up faster than ever before. What a twelve-year-old girl experienced at seven is not what a seven-year-old girl is now struggling with. Many of the guidelines we offer girls no longer apply, or are contradicted by messages from media and advertising telling girls how to look, think, behave and feel.
Over two years Maggie Hamilton interviewed girls, teachers, school ... more

Author: Glenn Compain
Glenn Compain is an Auckland frontline policeman working largely with troubled youth, and he's seen things that would haunt your nightmares.

The White Water Rafting Years: A Common-Sense Guide to Parenting Teenagers order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Ian Grant and John Cowan
The major life-task of an adolescent is to form their adult identity.
If they are not able to experiment with that identity while learning from you, then they are likely to individuate in a negative way.
Your kids come under pressure in their teens - peer pressure, sexual pressure, pressure to perform, the pressure of the future. You can be part of that pressure or you can help them cope with it.
This book advises every parent to become a parent-coach - not an enemy to be conquered but a resource to be worked. "Difficult as it may seem," write Ian Grant and John Cowan, "remember teenagers need your love the most when they are at their most obnoxious."
The authors discuss how parents and teenagers can negotiate the white-water rapids of emotional turbulence in a sane and consistent way; they offer practical, fun and innovative advice to surviving those hectic teenage years.
This is refreshing common-sense delivered with love.
