Practical Parenting A counselor's Guide to Raising the Difficult Child
Author: Stephen Guthrie
language: en
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
Release Date: 2011-06-10
There are few things in the life of a parent more discouraging and draining than having to deal day in and day out with a disagreeable, disobedient child. Spending all of one’s emotional energy anticipating their next manipulative move, containing their embarrassing outbursts, and grasping for appropriate and effective consequences that fit their misdeeds is simply exhausting. Counselor Stephen Guthrie's book gives struggling parents the wisdom, insight, and skills needed to quickly gain control of their children and begin parenting effectively. The book is designed to be read in an evening and put to use the next morning. Drawing on his experience working with difficult kids, the author takes a parent “back to the basics” to explain, perhaps for the first time, the time-honored practical principles of parenting that will raise a cooperative, obedient child that is a source of joy and not disappointment. This engaging and informative book features a special section for Christian parents in which Biblical principles for raising children are presented and explained.

Montessori for Every Family
This parenting book shows you how to make magical Montessori memories — every day. This beautiful, modern Montessori book for parents outlines the key principles of this parenting approach and shows you how you can easily apply this at home. It provides a valuable starting point for parents to help them create a family life inspired by the ethos of Montessori. This practical parenting guide makes Montessori accessible to every parent and child, regardless of time pressures and resources. It includes: • Outlines of the Montessori principles clearly and succinctly: respect, freedom, curiosity, creativity, responsibility and independence. • Examples on how to apply these principles to everyday life – with sections on breakfast time, school/daycare drop off, school/daycare pick up, playtime, meal times, homework time, bath time and bedtime. • Demonstrations of how to apply Montessori techniques to an older child new to Montessori and how to flex and build on the techniques as your child grows up. Montessori is a unique educational philosophy created by Maria Montessori that fosters the growth of the whole child. From enjoying nature together to free time and weekends, every aspect of family life is an opportunity for meaningful engagement with your child. Montessori For Every Family offers you pragmatic, real-life advice, suitable for children of all ages, showing you how easy and natural it is to create a nourishing and empowering environment at home for everyone. Even if your child won’t go to a Montessori school, a Montessori home can still be an invaluable bridge to reinforcing your child’s natural curiosity and setting the foundation for lifelong learning. This is the only Montessori book that recognizes that most parents don’t have the time and resources to overhaul their lives to fully embrace a parenting philosophy, but instead need practical, immediate guidance that is effective. "You will want to refer to this book again and again." Paul Epstein, PhD, Designs of Lifelong Learning
Raising the Future
To drive a car or buy a gun requires a license and some instruction. To parent requires only having a child. Yet the job of parenting is the most important job anyone will ever do, because parenting plays a huge part in building the future of the world. Many parenting books offer suggestions about controlling our children, directing them, shaping them as we need them to be. In Raising the Future, author R. Felice Gedeon-Gaude encourages parents to see the uniqueness of each child, asking them to explore how to foster that uniqueness while facilitating the safe, healthy, and appropriate growth of the children in their care. This guide offers methods for parents to explore their own memories of being parented, in order to recognize the sources of their responses to their childrens behavior. Raising the Future also directs parents to listen carefully to their children, because it is through those exchanges that parents will better understand how to help them to grow into well-adjusted children and, eventually, happy, productive adults.
