The parenting handbook : your guide to raising resilient children / by Johnson, Tania,author.; Schamuhn, Tammy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Being a parent can feel overwhelming and exhausting. So much of the prevailing advice on raising children leaves parents feeling conflicted and confused rather than confident that what they're doing is best for their children. In 'The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient Children', Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson-founders of the Institute of Child Psychology, child psychologists, and moms with an immense social media following-give parents the answers they so desperately need. Using the latest research in neuroscience and developmental psychology, and weaving in concrete strategies, Tammy and Tania have created an essential roadmap for parenting that truly works. Here you will find the secrets to raising children who are kind, empathic, self-regulated, emotionally intelligent, and who grow up to become gritty, resourceful, successful critical thinkers who can handle hard things. After reading this handbook, you will be well-equipped to: tackle tough parenting problems such as screen time and bedtime battles, implement effective discipline strategies, manage meltdowns and tantrums, foster optimal brain development in your children, create positive mental health outcomes, lose it less on your child and be the parent you always hoped you'd be.

The explorer's gene : why we seek big challenges, new flavors, and the blank spots on the map / by Hutchinson, Alex,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Off the beaten path, on unmarked trails, we are wired to explore. More than just a need to get outside, the search for the unknown is a specific, primal urge that has shaped the history of our species and continues to mold our behavior in ways we are just beginning to understand. In fact, the latest evolutionary neuroscience suggests that exploration is an essential ingredient of human life. Exploration, it turns out, isn't merely a hobby-it's our story. In this long-awaited follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Endure, Alex Hutchinson dives headfirst into a fascinating and provocative new field of research, examining how exploration is a fundamental part of what makes us human and revealing how, even in our fully mapped modern world, the pursuit of the unknown remains an indispensable mindset in all walks of life. And yet, it has never been easier to live an exploration-free life, without the struggle and uncertainty that true exploration-of places, experiences, and ideas-requires. With the digital world frequently exploiting the neural circuitry behind our drive to explore, we receive the illusion of novelty without accompanying growth. This despite mounting evidence that our lives are better-more productive, more satisfying, and more fun-when we ditch the maps on our phones and find our own way. From paddling the lost rivers of the northern Canadian wilderness to the ocean-spanning voyages of the Polynesians, The Explorer's Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience. The end result offers a singular approach to finding meaning in our past struggles, embracing the possibility of failure in our future, and crucially, recognizing when our present is good enough"--

The crucial years : the essential guide to mental health and modern puberty in middle childhood (ages 6-12) / by Ziegler, Sheryl,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.An essential guide for parents and caregivers, this book offers insights, strategies, and understanding to navigate middle childhood (ages 6-12). Dr. Sheryl Gonzalez Ziegler, a seasoned clinical psychologist and mother, highlights ways to foster resilience, encourage open communication, and build lasting connections during this crucial period. There is a pivotal sea change happening in children's development. The age of puberty has been trending earlier for decades, and now starts as young as 8 years old in girls and 9 in boys. Bullying doesn't just happen on the playground, but over text and DM. Depression and anxiety are drastically on the rise. Couple earlier puberty with ill-equipped, developing brains and the onslaught of new media and stressors that never existed when we were kids, and it's clear that parents need a new guide to raise this new generation. The Crucial Years is your essential handbook to navigating the often misunderstood and overlooked years of middle childhood (ages 6-12). As a mom and clinical psychologist, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler knows firsthand how challenging these years can be for some and for others how they are years where a parent thinks they can finally catch their breath in between the gap from preschool and middle school. Dr. Ziegler masterfully unlocks the enigma surrounding modern puberty and offers evidence-based strategies, interventions, and answers to middle childhood's most perplexing questions and concerns. In these pages, she provides: science-based advice to recognize and navigate puberty; candid and actionable guidance for getting your kids to talk their complicated feelings and understanding their moods; insights into the changing world of gender and sexual identity, body image and disordered eating; a clear explanation of the invisible threads linking mood swings, self-confidence, and social media exposure; and road-tested, real-world guidance to handle social stress and other pressures. With The Crucial Years, you have all that you need to guide your child through the unexpected ups and downs of puberty and help them emerge as well-rounded, confident teens.
