Raising Parents, Raising Kids

Hands-on Wisdom for the Next Generation
Dawn Menken, Arnold Mindell
Summary
In this cutting-edge book, therapist, parent, and visionary Dr. Dawn Menken introduces a fresh approach to the
joy and wonder of the world of parenting. Going beyond the conventional "how to" book, this is the ultimate
guide to nurturing the emotional, spiritual, and social lives of children, helping parents create a more meaningful
relationship with their children by supporting their deepest nature. Loaded with practical tips, inspiring examples,
and her own intimate stories, Menken uses the principles of process-oriented psychology to help parents,
caretakers, and educators navigate the complex waters of conflict, power dynamics, diversity, and other social
challenges, offering groundbreaking insights and techniques to tackle the burgeoning problem of bullying. Menken
goes on to address typical challenges of the parenting relationship, parents' own personal growth, and the call to
parent not only our children, but also the planet, and ultimately ourselves.

Approaching the risks for children on the Internet in a thought-provoking and intellectual manner, this study

Raising Competent Children

A New Way of Developing Relationships With Children
Jesper Juul
Summary
A family therapist offers a new way of parenting through nurturing respect and dignity between parent and child
Jesper Juul argues that today's families are at an exciting crossroad. The authoritarian parenting style based on
obedience, conformity, and physical and emotional violence that governed traditional hierarchical families is being
transformed. Here he talks about embracing a new set of values, based on the assumption that families must be
built not on authoritarian force or democratic tyranny but on dignity and reciprocity between parent and child.
He argues that children are competent to express their feelings from birth, and are eager to cooperate as well as
assume responsibility for their personal and social behavior; and that parents must work on listening to and
learning from children. With plenty of examples from everyday life, the book offers day-to-day skills on how to
change negative behavior, redefining the way to look at a child's behavior and the relationship within families.

The Right Instrument for Your Child

Atarah Ben-Tovim, MBE, Douglas Boyd
Summary
An updated edition of the definitive guide to choosing the right instrument to unlock a child's musical potential
Offering a simple and practical method of selecting the right instrument for the individual child, this unique book
starts with the child's physical and emotional makeup, and uses questionnaires and charts to systematically
explain the pros and cons of various instruments. For instance, a child who loves company might not enjoy
playing the piano as it is predominantly a solo instrument appealing to quiet introverts, yet many a child has
been forced to learn only to give up as soon as they are allowed. As well as examining each individual
instrument, it gives advice on how some of the pitfalls can be avoided and provides information on buying and
practicing. Based on years of research by the authors, this is a comprehensive and inspirational book that will
help unlock every child's potential.

Train Your Brain for Success

A Teenager's Guide to Executive Functions
Randy Kulman
Summary
Executive functions are a set of thinking, problem-solving, and self-control skills that tell the brain what to do,
and this book demonstrates the ways kids use executive functions in school, at home, and in their other
activities and shows how these skills can be improved through sustained effort. Beginning with a test to
determine executive-functioning strengths and weaknesses, the book then explores in detail eight distinct sets
of skills, including planning, organization, focus, time management, self-control, flexibility, memory, and self-
awareness. In addition to giving an overview of each executive-functioning skill and how these skills are used in

Parenting the Bright and Challenging Child
Gill Hines, Alison Baverstock, Jacqueline Wilson
Summary
How parents of bright and challenging children between 8 and 12 can identify and handle areas of concern, and
prepare for the challenges of the teen years
When parents find themselves answering yes to such questions as Can your child run rings around you, and
always have the last word? Is your child strong-willed and very independent for his or her age? Do they refuse
to take "no" for an answer?, it is likely that they have a "bright and challenging" child. While there are many
positives to parenting such children, it can also be very demanding. This guide, designed specifically for the
parents of young children who are independent, risk-taking, and hard to rein in, will explain why it is important to
set and reinforce boundaries, and how to do so. It also identifies the issues and risks that such children may
face, and helps parents to prepare for them. Parents will also learn how they and their child can discuss
sensitive issues together, such as sex and drugs, and will learn how to help their child to be more aware of the

Summary
This revised edition of the award-winning 1-2-3 Magic program addresses the difficult task of child discipline with

discussed, as well as tips on how to prevent homework arguments, make mealtimes more enjoyable, conduct
effective family meetings, and encourage children to start doing their household chores. New advice about kids

Parents' Guide to IQ Testing and Gifted Education

All You Need to Know to Make the Right Decisions for Your Child
David Palmer
Summary
Parents of brainy kids can understand what's behind IQ testing and selection for special school programs with
this guide to gifted education. Written by an IQ specialist, this guide details the history of IQ tests and how they

children. A section on twice-exceptional, or "2E" kids, shows parents how to recognize signs of learning
disabilities in their otherwise bright or achieving kids and how to access school support for those particular
problems.

More than a tool to correct bad behavior, this handbook urges parents to move beyond typical discipline
techniques by creating an environment based on mutual respect, emotional safety, and positive, open

Summary
A Win-Win Approach to Marriage and Parenting
All parents want their children to be happy. But many couples today go too far, letting everything revolve around

Summary
Anticipating how kids react to paintings by artists as diverse as Botticelli, Vermeer, Degas, Chagall, and Pollack,

paintings provide historical background, explain genres such as still life and portrait, and demystify religious and
mythological themes. Color-coded tabs let adults flip to sections appropriate to the ages of their children (5-7

Buddhism for Mothers of Young Children

Becoming a Mindful Parent
Sarah Napthali
Summary
From the author of the acclaimed Buddhism for Mothers, a guide to discovering the path to meaningful,
spiritual, and satisfying motherhood
A combination of personal narrative and stories gathered from mothers, this guide shows how spiritual and
mindful parenting can help all mothers-Buddhists and non-Buddhists-be more open, attentive, and content. By
guiding mothers on a spiritual path, this evocation also helps them cultivate wisdom, open-heartedness, and a
better understanding of themselves and their children. The Buddhist teachings and principles help answer
questions that all mothers face, especially those with young children: Who are my children? Who am I? How can
I do my best by my children and myself? What to do about all that housework? and Is this all? Written in a clear
Allen & Unwin
and engaging style, this warm and simple meditation facilitates parenting with awareness, purpose, and love.

Buddhism for Mothers of Schoolchildren

Finding Calm in the Chaos of the School Years
Sarah Napthali
Summary
Raising school children is a radically different experience from tending children under the age of five. With
children at school, life is both easier and harder and there are very different challenges on the horizon-mothers
are often thinking of going back to work, or juggling work-life balance issues. They are questioning what they
want out of life, how they want to interact with the world, and creating new definitions for themselves. Children
are more demanding too, asking questions, testing boundaries, and beginning to define themselves as separate
from their parents. Sarah Napthali explores the distinct issues arising from this phase of motherhood and how
Buddhism can play a role in providing answers and direction, in her usual warm, wise, inclusive, and accessible
style.

Summary
For parents of children from six months up to seven years, an accessible guide to the psychological aspects of

Parenting is one of the biggest challenges anyone can face, and yet nobody has delivered the perfect formula to

Confessions of a Coffee Group Dropout

Navigating New Motherhood
Eleanor Black
Summary
A candid, engaging, irreverent take on the struggle to come to terms with life as a new parent
Motherhood, for a first-timer, can be an overwhelming and even frightening experience, but admitting this
doesn't seem to be something that's ever done. The birth, as the author explains in this memoir about the
struggles of new parenthood, is the least of it. It's what happens after the birth that blows your mind. You're
meant to look like an expert from day one despite the fact that the choices confronting first time parents are
mind-boggling-and whatever they decide someone will tell them they're wrong. She covers it all, from unsolicited
advice offered by complete strangers to competitive coffee group mothers, from baby music classes to
expectations of parental perfection-all the pressures brought to bear on new parents. She found being thrown
into this universe completely bizarre, and upon talking to friends, she found she wasn't alone. She found plenty

little easier for parents with these simple and practical strategies.

How Every Adult Can Change Kids' Lives
Peter L. Benson
Summary
Detailing daily actions that have a lasting significance on kids, this guide for all adults shows that positive adult-
child relationships are one of the most important factors affecting a young person's development. Rather than
focusing on teens' problems, this handbook takes a proactiveapproach and highlights hopeful actions adults can
take to have a positive impact on a young person's life. For example, adults will learn to use 30-second
encounters to offer compliments and to ask meaningful questions of children that lead to deeper conversations.
This call to action invites every adult to be an advocate for children and teenagers, promoting happier, healthier,
and more successful youth.

Dr. Yvonne Sum
Summary
A fresh approach to parenting that will get results for you and your kids
Everyone belongs to a tribe, and in a world powered by the instant accessibility of the internet there are many
different tribes catering to every aspect of your life. Navigating those tribes is a tricky business. It takes
leadership, and the first tribe we learn this from is our family. Parenting can be hard, especially if you may have
been finding it challenging to "read the book" that is your child. It takes intention, attention, action, planning,
persistence, and practice, practice, practice. So, what does it mean for you to be a parent? What is your
intention as a parent? How will you fulfill this? What do you commit to do? What is your first step? Taking a good
look at her own family Yvonne Sum identified seven foundation stones of successful parenting, the 7R's of
parenting. Each one is fully explored and explained here, and together they are the basis of leading your family

Children and Chores

The Surprising Impact of Chores on Kids' Futures
Elizabeth Crary
Summary
Why should parents make the effort to insist that children do chores? Of course there is the immediate value of
getting help around the home, but far more important is the research that Elizabeth Crary cites, research that
indicates the importance of doing chores in preparing children for responsible adulthood. In fact, this research
shows that doing chores from a young age is more important in successful adulthood than IQ. In this easy-to-
read guide, Crary explains what kids can realistically be expected to do at what ages, how to introduce chores
and increase the level of responsibility as a child grows, and how to deal with children's resistance to helping.

Dealing with Disappointment

Helping Kids Cope When Things Don't Go Their Way
Elizabeth Crary
Summary
Walking parents through the concept of emotional competency, this practical manual argues that it begins by
teaching children to identify and acknowledge their feelings. The book provides exercises and examples that
demonstrate how children-including toddlers-can cope with their emotions, using problem-solving tools and self-
calming techniques such as exercise or a few minutes alone with a favorite book. The straightforward advice
provided will counsel parents on how to survive their children's emotional meltdowns and help them think through
how to prevent future problems. Just as importantly, it teaches caregivers how to remain calm themselves so
that they can recognize and manage both the causes and results of children's frustration.
