Do parents matter? : why Japanese babies sleep soundly, Mexican siblings don't fight, and American families should just relax / by LeVine, Robert Alan,1932-author.; LeVine, Sarah,1940-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In some parts of northwestern Nigeria, mothers studiously avoid making eye contact with their babies. Some Chinese parents go out of their way to seek confrontation with their toddlers. Japanese parents almost universally co-sleep with their infants, sometimes continuing to share a bed with them until age ten. Yet all these parents are as likely as Americans to have loving relationships with happy children. If these practices seem bizarre, or their results seem counterintuitive, it's not necessarily because other cultures have discovered the keys to understanding children. It might be more appropriate to say there are no keys-but Americans are driving themselves crazy trying to find them. When we're immersed in news articles and scientific findings proclaiming the importance of some factor or other, we often miss the bigger picture: that parents can only affect their children so much. Robert and Sarah LeVine, married anthropologists at Harvard University, have spent their lives researching parenting across the globe-starting with a trip to visit the Hausa people of Nigeria as newlyweds in 1969. Their decades of original research provide a new window onto the challenges of parenting and the ways that it is shaped by economic, cultural, and familial traditions. Their ability to put our modern struggles into global and historical perspective should calm many a nervous mother or father's nerves. It has become a truism to say that American parents are exhausted and overstressed about the health, intelligence, happiness, and success of their children. But as Robert and Sarah LeVine show, this is all part of our culture. And a look around the world may be just the thing to remind us that there are plenty of other choices to make."--

Big kids, bigger feelings : navigating defiance, meltdowns and anxiety to raise confident, connected kids / by Campbell, Alyssa Blask,author.; Lounder, Rachel Stuart,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Meltdowns. Name-calling. Hitting, kicking, and hair-pulling. Except, these aren't the toddler years. Why is your elementary-school-age child still having these outbursts? Long thought of as the time when parents can finally enjoy calmer kids and deal with less emotional volatility and tears, the elementary school years are anything but. During this pivotal time, our children navigate a new set of social and emotional challenges. From playground bullying to cliques and exclusion, ever-increasing academic challenges, and plenty of physical growth and hormonal changes thrown into the mix -- the elementary school years are more complicated than most parents realize. Big Kids, Bigger Feelings is the guide you need to help your child thrive during these developmentally complex and wonderful years. The social and emotional skills you provide your children with now will prepare them for a lifetime of self-advocacy and stronger emotional intelligence. Campbell's revolutionary Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, used in preschool and elementary school environments, teaches you how to work with your children to help them understand how they are feeling and process their big emotions in healthy, constructive ways"--

Based on decades of research, this fully revised sixth edition covers the first 20 months of a baby's life and includes: the top 10 things to know and remember about a leap, fun games to support brain development, fill-in-the-blank checklists to help better understand personality and behavior traits, science-based explanations about sleep, fresh insight and recent commentary from new parents whove used The Wonder Weeks, and anchor moments to keep new parents sane, especially when they are exhausted and discouraged. With 2 million+ books sold, and 4 million+ downloads of the corresponding app, The Wonder Weeks has struck a chord. Join the phenomenon that has been embraced by celebrities, social media influencers, and parents worldwide.
