Sacred Parenting: How Raising Children Shapes Our Souls (Paperback)

Explore the spiritual dynamics of parenting, and why caring for children is such an effective discipline in shaping our souls and forming the character of Christ within us.

From the Back Cover
Parenting is a school for spiritual formation—and our children are our teachers. The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children will profoundly alter us forever. Sacred Parenting is unlike any other parenting book you have ever read. This is not a “how-to” book that teaches you ways to discipline your kids or help them achieve their full potential. Instead of discussing how parents can change their kids, Sacred Parenting turns the tables and demonstrates how God uses our kids to change us. You’ve read all the method books. Now take a step back and receive some much-needed inspiration. You’ll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parent—and how their children transformed their rel (more…)

Parenting in the Pew: Guiding Your Children into the Joy of Worship (Paperback)

“Daddy, I’d like you to meet my children.” That’s Robbie Castleman’s attitude about taking her children to church. Sunday morning isn’t a success if we have only managed to keep the kids quiet. There’s more to church for kids than trying out their new coloring books. Children are at church for the same reason as Mom and Dad: for the privilege of worshiping God. Because we are created to praise God both now and forever, we must take our children’s worship seriously. Worship, Robbie writes, is “the most important thing you can ever train your child to do.” With infectious passion, nitty-gritty advice and a touch of humor, she shows us how we can help our children (from toddlers to teenagers) enter into worship. This expanded edition includes two new appendixes on the important issues of hyperactive children in worship and children’s church for seekers. It also provides a study guide for personal reflection or group discussion. More than ever, Parenting in the Pew (more…)

Parenting Children With Adhd: 10 Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach (APA Lifetools) (Paperback)

Kids with ADHD need to be loved and shown how to become successful adults. Unfortunately, their lack of attention and restlessness often get in the way. Parents of these kids try so hard to stay connected and remain patient in the face of daily frustration. However, it is an incredible challenge to remain positive and involved when your child does not respond to the kinds of strategies that work for other children. Without guidance and systematic treatment, these bright, inquisitive children are unlikely to graduate from high school, are more prone to use illegal drugs, and struggle to maintain employment as adults. Parenting Children with ADHD: Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach gives parents a framework for building a successful parenting program at home. Drawing from his experiences in evaluating and treating thousands of children and teens with ADHD, Vincent Monastra presents a series of ten lessons that are essential for promoting the success of kids with ADHD. In si (more…)

Supernanny: How to Get the Best From Your Children (Paperback)

Review
For despairing moms and dads everywhere, “Supernanny” Jo Frost may as well be wearing a Wonder Woman costume. Her no-nonsense rules–not tips, not advice, but rules–for consistently managing one’s offspring leave no room for arguments (or wrestling matches). From her arms-akimbo stance on the book’s cover, it’s clear she’s in charge, and ready to instruct all wishy-washy (overworked American) parents how to lay down the law in their own home. She offers her “top ten rules” for setting boundaries, managing mealtimes, even surviving toilet training, and it’s mostly rock-solid, and peppered liberally with British wit. (For parents who obsess over their toddler’s every meal, she warns: “It doesn’t take long for them to work out the obvious: you can’t make them eat.”) Frost may not have a degree in child development, but she was raised in a stable, doting family, and has 15 years’ experience taking care of tots, a combination which puts her way ahead of most parents. S (more…)

Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too (Paperback)

Review
With a title like this, it’s no surprise that authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish had a monster bestseller on their hands when the book first appeared in 1988. From the subsequent deluge of readers’ stories, questions, and issues, they have created nearly 50 pages of new material for this, the 10th anniversary edition. The central message remains the same, and sounds almost too simple: avoid comparisons. But parents know that’s easier said than done. The value of Faber and Mazlish’s discussions is precisely that they talk you through umpteen different situations and outcomes to help you teach your brawling offspring a new set of responses. The highly informative text is punctuated with helpful summary/reminder boxes and cartoons illustrating key points. It’s a must-read for parents with (or planning on) multiple children. But parents of young children who get along fine (so far) should read it too–as the authors make very clear, rivalry is inevit (more…)

Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves: Transforming Parent-child Relationships from Reaction And Struggle to Freedom, Power And Joy (Paperback)

Every parent would happily give up ever scolding, punishing or threatening if she only knew how to ensure that her toddler/child/teen would thrive and act responsibly without such painful measures. Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves is the answer to this universal wish. It is not about gentle ways to control a child, but about a way of being and of understanding a child so she/he can be the best of herself, not because she fears you, but because she wants to, of her own free will. “Aldort’s book should be on the must read list of all Moms and Dads. This book could carry a subtitle: “Saving the Emotional Lives of Our Children and The Future of Humanity.”" – James Prescott, Ph.D. Institute of Humanistic Science “Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves operates on the radical premise that neither child nor parent must dominate; it is for those who want to give up scolding, threatening and punishing. Her SALVE “for (more…)
