Описание:
They go by many names: helicopter parents, hovercrafts, PFHs (Parents from Hell). The news media is filled with stories of well-intentioned parents going to ridiculous extremes to remove all obstacles from their child’s path to greatness . . . or at least to an ivy league school. From cradle to college, they remain intimately enmeshed in their children’s lives, stifling their development and creating infantilized, spoiled, immature adults unprepared to make the decisions necessary for the real world. Or so the story goes. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening interviews with parents across the country, Margaret K. Nelson cuts through the stereotypes and hyperbole to examine the realities of what she terms “parenting out of control.” Situating this phenomenon within a broad sociological context, she finds several striking explanations for why today’s prosperous and well-educated parents are unable to set realistic boundaries when it comes to raising their children. Analyzing the goals and aspirations parents have for their children as well as the strategies they use to reach them, Nelson discovers fundamental differences among American parenting styles that expose class fault lines, both within the elite and between the elite and the middle and working classes. Nelson goes on to explore the new ways technology shapes modern parenting. From baby monitors to cell phones (often referred to as the world’s longest umbilical cord), to social networking sites, and even GPS devices, parents have more tools at their disposal than ever before to communicate with, supervise, and even spy on their children. These play important and often surprising roles in the phenomenon of parenting out of control. Yet the technologies parents choose, and those they refuse to use, often seem counterintuitive. Nelson shows that these choices make sense when viewed in the light of class expectations. Today’s parents are faced with unprecedented opportunities and dangers for their children, and are evolving novel strategies to adapt to these changes. Nelson’s lucid and insightful work provides an authoritative examination of what happens when these new strategies go too far.

Your customers will never stop buying this special Parenting Guide
Honestly, parenting can be tricky when dealing with difficult children, and you cannot rely on sheer instinct alone.
Maintaining good health is vastly more important and effective than later treating illness. Good health takes effort: regular exercise, a healthy lifestyle, wearing seat belts, not smoking, and not abusing alcohol and drugs; in other words, doing the "good stuff," and avoiding the "bad stuff."
Likewise, raising healthy children is vastly more important and effective than later correcting misbehavior. It takes effort and commitment to nurturing the "good stuff"- loving connections, empathy, meeting their needs.
In a world that is so tumultuous, sometimes it helps when our children can look to their parents as their positive role models.
Highlighted below is a breakdown of what to expect:
handling kids with behavior problems
prevent your children from cursing
bad parenting days need a positive tool
parenting essentials
huge parenting mistakes to avoid
inside the toddler mind
and so much more...
By following this special guide, you can practice positive parenting and make a big difference in your children's lives, either as a parent or a guardian. And someday, your kids will then take forward your positive practices and make a positive difference in their children's lives

So many children, teens and their families are experiencing painful failures in their relationships as a result of following several generations of bad parenting advice. For far too long parents have tried to innovate and create a new, softer kinder way of parenting their children, only to find that they have created self absorbed, entitled, disrespectful children, who fail to launch into adulthood because they don't have the grit and resilience to make it in the world today. Mia advocates a return to traditional teachings about parenting that we learned from our grandparents and parents, many of which are rooted in Biblical teachings. This is a culmination of her observations about what makes kids successful, and resilient, even in the face of overwhelming obstacles.
Описание: This book presents original research examining parents` perspectives on the structure, content and delivery of parenting programmes.

Описание: Over 1 million people have autism. This number is rapidly growing. Over the past several years autism has increased to epidemic proportions. Thirty years ago it affected only about 1 in 2,500; today 1 out of every 91 children in the United States and 1 out of 64 in the UK are affected. Autism has quickly become a world-wide problem. Over the past 12 years there has been a 17 percent increase in childhood developmental disabilities of all types including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy, mental retardation, and others. Currently in the United States, 4 million children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the most common learning disability, and an incredible one in six children are classified as learning disabled. Why the sudden astronomical rise in developmental disabilities? Most doctors have no clue what causes autism, nor any idea how to prevent or even treat it. The only medically recognised form of treatment is an attempt to teach affected children how to manage the disorder and live with it. Antidepressants, antipsychotics, and stimulants are often prescribed to help cope with symptoms. No possibility of a cure is offered, as the condition is considered permanent -- in other words "hopeless". Autism, however, is not a hopeless condition. It can be prevented and successfully treated without the use of drugs. This book describes an innovative new dietary and lifestyle approach that has proven very successful in reversing even some of the most severe developmental disorders, allowing once disabled children to enter regular school and lead normal, happy, productive lives. There is a solution. You can stop autism now!
