Positive Parenting with a Plan (Grades K-12): F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules (Paperback)

Review
“An absence of structure afflicts a vast number of contemporary American families. There are many sources of this dreadful phenomenon including substance abuse, mental illness, divorce, illegitimacy, financial pressures, and moral inadequacy, to name just a few. Whatever the primary sources of the lack of family structure may be, the absence of structure itself invariably leads the family further down the spiral of despair, dysfunction, disease and delinquency. Dr. Matthew A. Johnson (”Dr. J.”) and his F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules parenting system offer a powerful alternative to family chaos. F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules presents a solid and coherent structure for families in need. In this book, he first presents a philosophical and intellectual framework for F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules and then presents the system itself in an absolutely clear and straightforward manner. F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules is a product of who and what “Dr. J.” himself is, a child of a family with problems, an outstandi (more…)

The Co-Parenting Survival Guide: Letting Go of Conflict after a Difficult Divorce (Paperback)

From Publishers Weekly
When couples have children, an acrimonious divorce can be painful for everyone involved. Couples can bear enormous resentment, anger and disappointment toward each other yet they still have to collaborate on one of the most complicated and difficult jobs in the world: child-rearing. Too often the intricacies of visitation, holiday plans and differences over discipline are left to lawyers, escalating the antagonism. Psychologists Elizabeth S. Thayer and Jeffrey Zimmerman argue that it doesn’t have to be that way, and in The Co-Parenting Survival Guide: Letting Go of Conflict After a Difficult Divorce they help parents work harmoniously with their exes. Founders of Parents Allied to Co-Parent Effectively (PEACE), a service for high-conflict divorced or divorcing parents, the authors offer advice from conflict resolution to dealing with stepparents that could save parents thousands of dollars in legal fees and protect kids from needless misery and traum (more…)

The Science of Parenting (Paperback)

From Publishers Weekly
Promoting a research-backed view of the parents-in-charge approach to child rearing, Sunderland’s guide is a smart, complete book that never overwhelms. Laid out like a school textbook, with clear organization, copious color photographs and plenty of boldfaced “Key Points,” Sunderland’s text is upbeat, accessible and encouraging. Advice is both common-sense and well-considered: “each time you help your child think and feel about what he is experiencing, and each time you find the right words for his intense feelings, you are probably helping the development of more sophisticated communication networks in your child’s corpus callosum.” Sunderland focuses on explaining how the child’s underdeveloped brain motivates so-called behavior problems, including “tears and rage” caused when baby’s “higher brain is not developed enough to moderate these powerful lower brain systems naturally.” One of the most interesting elements of the book is its insight into (more…)
