Não importa a forma da birra, há uma coisa que é verdade: Lidar com isso não é divertido. Não há pais que entram na paternidade e se sentem bem por ter que lidar com birras.

By Bunmi Laditan. 2013
When you love someone, accept them as they are—pants or no pants The toddler stage can be a rude awakening…
for parents. Seemingly overnight, their sweet infants morph into tyrants whose iron will is matched only by their adorableness. One minute they’re saying "I love you," and the next minute they’re delivering an unexpected slap to your face. Parents aren’t blameless, though—toddlers have their own grievances. They just don’t express them “with their words,” whatever that means. But finally, after minutes of horror, they have the Honest Toddler to speak on their behalf. Who better to instruct parents on the needs of toddlers than an actual toddler who can authoritatively spell out preferred foods (fishy crackers, stat!), sleep training methods (hint: none), and the proper response to bananas with strings (complete collapse). With a voice that is at once inimitable and universal, the Honest Toddler has built a loyal following of parents laughing through their tears as they recognize their own child in the shenanigans of one bravely honest tot.Apprenez les stratégies les plus efficaces pour prendre soin de votre bébé.

By Diane Evans, Sharon Evans. 2007
Motherhood is an amazing journey. It can be rewarding, exhilarating, frustrating and stressful, often all in the same day. Motherhood…
doesn't come with an instruction manual that guide women through the maze of emotions, challenges and choices. Quite simply, there is no "right way" to be a mum. Mother Who? draws upon the experience of some amazing mothers and leading experts. The book provides inspiration and information about the questions and choices encountered by working mothers everywhere. Mother Who? reveals the personal experiences and candid insights of a wonderfully diverse group of mums. From the entertainer to the sheep farmer, the elite athlete to the politician, the foster mother to the radio presenter, their thought-provoking and honest stories will provide encouragement to all mothers. Their compelling stories are interspersed with practical information about issues, such as support networks, child care, working with employers, emotional and social pressures, starting a business, health and relationships. Contributors include Governor of Queensland Quentin Bryce, Senator Natasha Stott Despoja, singer Kate Ceberano and athlete Nova Peris, as well as other mothers in diverse occupations - from foster mother to CEO of a large corporation. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Barnardos, Australia's leading children's welfare organisation.New Age Nanas: Being a grandmother in the 21st Century (Big Sky Publishing Ser.)
By Doreen Rosenthal, Susan Moore. 2012
Being a grandmother is one of life's most important roles and many women can feel unprepared to take it on.…
New Age Nanas presents the rich and diverse views of over 1000 modern Australian grandmothers on what it is like to be a grandmother today, interwoven with expert commentary on how to make the most of this potentially wonderful and rewarding stage of life. This book is for grandmothers and their families to contemplate, learn from, laugh and cry with. Readers will read about grandmothers' views on topics such as feelings towards grandchildren, managing changing relationships as grandchildren get older, negotiating conflicts, special issues faced by grandmothers and taking time for their own lives, together with expert suggestions and advice from the authors on positive grand mothering. Based on sound research, and written in an engaging and readable style, it is a `self help' book for grandmothers with a difference. Most importantly, New Age Nanas is a book in which Australia's two million grandmothers can find themselves, their concerns and their joys in the modern grandmothering role.Generation Digital: Politics, Commerce, and Childhood in the Age of the Internet (The mit Press Ser.)
By Kathryn C. Montgomery. 2007
The role that children and youth play in the emerging digital media culture; as consumers targeted by marketing campaigns, as…
creators of their own digital culture, and as political participants.Children and teens today have integrated digital culture seamlessly into their lives. For most, using the Internet, playing videogames, downloading music onto an iPod, or multitasking with a cell phone is no more complicated than setting the toaster oven to "bake" or turning on the TV. In Generation Digital, media expert and activist Kathryn C. Montgomery examines the ways in which the new media landscape is changing the nature of childhood and adolescence and analyzes recent political debates that have shaped both policy and practice in digital culture.The media has pictured the so-called "digital generation" in contradictory ways: as bold trailblazers and innocent victims, as active creators of digital culture and passive targets of digital marketing. This, says Montgomery, reflects our ambivalent attitude toward both youth and technology. She charts a confluence of historical trends that made children and teens a particularly valuable target market during the early commercialization of the Internet and describes the consumer-group advocacy campaign that led to a law to protect children's privacy on the Internet. Montgomery recounts—as a participant and as a media scholar—the highly publicized battles over indecency and pornography on the Internet. She shows how digital marketing taps into teenagers' developmental needs and how three public service campaigns—about sexuality, smoking, and political involvement—borrowed their techniques from commercial digital marketers. Not all of today's techno-savvy youth are politically disaffected; Generation Digital chronicles the ways that many have used the Internet as a political tool, mobilizing young voters in 2004 and waging battles with the music and media industries over control of cultural expression online.Montgomery's unique perspective as both advocate and analyst will help parents, politicians, and corporations take the necessary steps to create an open, diverse, equitable, and safe digital media culture for young people.Sharenthood: Why We Should Think before We Talk about Our Kids Online (Strong Ideas)
By Leah A. Plunkett. 2019
From baby pictures in the cloud to a high school's digital surveillance system: how adults unwittingly compromise children's privacy online.Our…
children's first digital footprints are made before they can walk—even before they are born—as parents use fertility apps to aid conception, post ultrasound images, and share their baby's hospital mug shot. Then, in rapid succession come terabytes of baby pictures stored in the cloud, digital baby monitors with built-in artificial intelligence, and real-time updates from daycare. When school starts, there are cafeteria cards that catalog food purchases, bus passes that track when kids are on and off the bus, electronic health records in the nurse's office, and a school surveillance system that has eyes everywhere. Unwittingly, parents, teachers, and other trusted adults are compiling digital dossiers for children that could be available to everyone—friends, employers, law enforcement—forever. In this incisive book, Leah Plunkett examines the implications of “sharenthood”—adults' excessive digital sharing of children's data. She outlines the mistakes adults make with kids' private information, the risks that result, and the legal system that enables “sharenting.”Plunkett describes various modes of sharenting—including “commercial sharenting,” efforts by parents to use their families' private experiences to make money—and unpacks the faulty assumptions made by our legal system about children, parents, and privacy. She proposes a “thought compass” to guide adults in their decision making about children's digital data: play, forget, connect, and respect. Enshrining every false step and bad choice, Plunkett argues, can rob children of their chance to explore and learn lessons. The Internet needs to forget. We need to remember.The Prism of Grammar: How Child Language Illuminates Humanism
By Tom Roeper. 2007
Exploring the creativity of mind through children's language: how the tiniest utterances can illustrate the simple but abstract principles behind…
modern grammar—and reveal the innate structures of the mind.Every sentence we hear is instantly analyzed by an inner grammar; just as a prism refracts a beam of light, grammar divides a stream of sound, linking diverse strings of information to different domains of mind—memory, vision, emotions, intentions. In The Prism of Grammar, Tom Roeper brings the abstract principles behind modern grammar to life by exploring the astonishing intricacies of child language. Adult expressions provide endless puzzles for the child to solve. The individual child's solutions ("Don't uncomfortable the cat" is one example) may amuse adults but they also reveal the complexity of language and the challenges of mastering it. The tiniest utterances, says Roeper, reflect the whole mind and engage the child's free will and sense of dignity. He offers numerous and novel "explorations"—many at the cutting edge of current work—that anyone can try, even in conversation around the dinner table. They elicit how the child confronts "recursion"—the heartbeat of grammar—through endless possessives ("John's mother's friend's car"), mysterious plurals, contradictory adjectives, the marvels of ellipsis, and the deep obscurity of reference ("there it is, right here"). They are not tests of skill; they are tools for discovery and delight, not diagnosis. Each chapter on acquisition begins with a commonsense look at how structures work—moving from the simple to the complex—and then turns to the literary and human dimensions of grammar. One important human dimension is the role of dialect in society and in the lives of children. Roeper devotes three chapters to the structure of African-American English and the challenge of responding to linguistic prejudice. Written in a lively style, accessible and gently provocative, The Prism of Grammar is for parents and teachers as well as students—for everyone who wants to understand how children gain and use language—and anyone interested in the social, philosophical, and ethical implications of how we see the growing mind emerge.Parentonomics: An Economist Dad Looks at Parenting (The mit Press Ser.)
By Joshua Gans. 2010
What every parent needs to know about negotiating, incentives, outsourcing, and other strategies to solve the economic management problem that…
is parenting. Like any new parent, Joshua Gans felt joy mixed with anxiety upon the birth of his first child. Who was this blanket-swaddled small person and what did she want? Unlike most parents, however, Gans is an economist, and he began to apply the tools of his trade to raising his children. He saw his new life as one big economic management problem—and if economics helped him think about parenting, parenting illuminated certain economic principles. Parentonomics is the entertaining, enlightening, and often hilarious fruit of his “research.” Incentives, Gans shows us, are as risky in parenting as in business. An older sister who is recruited to help toilet train her younger brother for a share in the reward given for each successful visit to the bathroom, for example, could give the trainee drinks of water to make the rewards more frequent. (Economics later offered another, better toilet training solution: outsourcing. For their third child, Gans and his wife put it in the hands of professionals—the day care providers.) Gans gives us the parentonomic view of delivery (if the mother shares her pain by yelling at the father, doesn't it really create more aggregate pain?), sleep (the screams of a baby are like an offer: “I'll stop screaming if you give me attention”), food (a question of marketing), travel (“the best thing you can say about traveling with children is that they are worse than baggage”), punishment (and threat credibility), birthday party time management, and more. Parents: if you're reading Parentonomics in the presence of other people, you'll be unable to keep yourself from reading the funny parts out loud. And if you're reading it late at night and wake a child with your laughter—well, you'll have some guidelines for negotiating a return to bed.Late-Talking Children: A Symptom or a Stage? (The mit Press Ser.)
By Stephen M. Camarata. 2014
What parents need to know about the causes and treatment of children's late talking: how to avoid misdiagnoses, navigate the…
educational system, and more.When children are late in hitting developmental milestones, parents worry. And no delay causes more parental anxiety than late talking, which is associated in many parents' minds with such serious conditions as autism and severe intellectual disability. In fact, as children's speech expert Stephen Camarata points out in this enlightening book, children are late in beginning to talk for a wide variety of reasons. For some children, late talking may be a symptom of other, more serious, problems; for many others, however, it may simply be a stage with no long-term complications.Camarata describes in accessible language what science knows about the characteristics and causes of late talking. He explains that late talking is only one of a constellation of autism symptoms. Although all autistic children are late talkers, not all late-talking children are autistic. Camarata draws on more than twenty-five years of professional experience diagnosing and treating late talkers—and on his personal experience of being a late talker himself and having a late-talking son. He provides information that will help parents navigate the maze of doctors, speech therapists, early childhood services, and special education; and he describes the effect that late talking may have on children's post-talking learning styles.The Blue Jay's Dance: A Memoir Of Early Motherhood
By Louise Erdrich. 1995
Louise Erdrich's first major work of nonfiction, The Blue Jay's Dance, brilliantly and poignantly examines the joys and frustrations, the…
compromises and the insights, and the difficult struggles and profound emotional satisfactions the acclaimed author experienced in the course of one twelve–month period—from a winter pregnancy through a spring and summer of new motherhood to her return to writing in the fall. In exquisitely lyrical prose, Erdrich illuminates afresh the large and small events that every parent will recognize and appreciate.Trans-Affirmative Parenting: Raising Kids Across the Gender Spectrum
By Elizabeth Rahilly. 2020
First-hand accounts of how parents support their transgender childrenThere is a new generation of parents and families who are identifying,…
supporting, and raising transgender children. In Trans-Affirmative Parenting, Elizabeth Rahilly presents their fascinating stories, interviewing parents of children who identify across the gender spectrum, as well as the doctors, mental health practitioners, educators, and advocates who support their journeys. Rahilly provides a window into parents' experiences, exploring how they come to terms with new ideas about gender, sexuality, identity, and the body, as well as examining their complex deliberations about nonbinary possibilities and medical interventions. Ultimately, Rahilly compassionately shows how parents can best advocate for transgender awareness and move beyond traditional gendered expectations. She also shows that child-centered, child-driven parenting is as central to this new trans-affirmative paradigm as growing LGBTQ awareness. In an era that is increasingly trans-aware, Trans-Affirmative Parenting offers provocative new insights into transgender children and the parents who raise them.Mad Mothers, Bad Mothers, and What a "Good" Mother Would Do: The Ethics of Ambivalence
By Sarah LaChance Adams. 2014
When a mother kills her child, we call her a bad mother, but, as this book shows, even mothers who…
intend to do their children harm are not easily categorized as "mad" or "bad." Maternal love is a complex emotion rich with contradictory impulses and desires, and motherhood is a conflicted state in which women constantly renegotiate the needs mother and child, the self and the other. Applying care ethics philosophy and the work of Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Simone de Beauvoir to real-world experiences of motherhood, Sarah LaChance Adams throws the inherent tensions of motherhood into sharp relief, drawing a more nuanced portrait of the mother and child relationship than previously conceived. The maternal example is particularly instructive for ethical theory, highlighting the dynamics of human interdependence while also affirming separate interests. LaChance Adams particularly focuses on maternal ambivalence and its morally productive role in reinforcing the divergence between oneself and others, helping to recognize the particularities of situation, and negotiating the difference between one's own needs and the desires of others. She ultimately argues maternal filicide is a social problem requiring a collective solution that ethical philosophy and philosophies of care can inform.The New Father: A Dad?s Guide to The Toddler Years, 12-36 Months

By Justin Taylor. 2020
An unflinching memoir from a writer reckoning with his relationship with his troubled father and the complicated legacy that each generation…
hands down to the next&“Justin Taylor&’s relentless, peripatetic, and tender search for reconciliation with his late troubled father blooms into a full-throated song of joy about his own life lived through music, teaching, travel, and literature.&”—Lauren Groff, author of FloridaWhen Justin Taylor was thirty, his father, Larry, drove to the top of the Nashville airport parking garage to take his own life. Thanks to the intervention of family members, he was not successful, but the incident forever transformed how Taylor thinks of his father, and how he thinks of himself as a son.Moving back and forth in time from that day, Riding with the Ghost captures the past&’s power to shape, strengthen, and distort our visions of ourselves and one another. We see Larry as the middle child in a chilly Long Island family; as a beloved Little League coach who listens to kids with patience and curiosity; as an unemployed father struggling to keep his marriage together while battling long-term illness and depression. At the same time, Taylor explores how the work of confronting a family member&’s story forces a reckoning with your own. We see Taylor as a teacher, modeling himself after his dad&’s best qualities; as a caregiver, attempting to provide his father with emotional and financial support, but not always succeeding; as a new husband, with a dawning awareness of his own depressive tendencies.With raw intimacy, Riding with the Ghost lays bare the joys and burdens of loving a troubled family member. It&’s a memoir about fathers and sons, teachers and students, faith and illness, and the pieces of our loved ones that we carry with us always.
