¡Con golpes NO!: Disciplina efectiva y amorosa para criar hijos sanos
By Martha Alicia Chávez. 2015
En ¡Con golpes NO!, Martha Alicia Chávez dirige un llamado a los padres para hacerles saber, de una vez por…
todas, que educar con límites no es educar con golpes. Martha Alicia Chávez, autora del bestseller Tu hijo tu espejo y referente en temas parenting, ofrece en ¡Con golpes NO! las herramientas para criar a nuestros hijos de una manera efectiva y amorosa. Un libro que, al estilo de Martha Alicia Chávez, nos recuerda por medio de los casos presentados de sus pacientes, que el dolor y las huellas que marcan los padres cuando maltratan a sus hijos son indelebles. Según la OMS, aproximadamente un 20% de las mujeres, y entre un 5 a 10% de los hombres, manifiestan haber sufrido abusos sexuales en la infancia, mientras que un 23% de las personas de ambos sexos refieren maltratos físicos cuando eran niños. Entre las consecuencias de este maltrato se encuentran problemas de salud física y mental duraderos, y efectos sociales y laborales negativos que pueden retrasar el desarrollo económico y social de los países. De ahí que la importancia de este libro. Con su cálida voz, Martha Alicia Chávez nos devela las consecuencias del maltrato infantil y, por supuesto, nos ofrece una gama de herramientas para que no tengamos el pretexto de repetir la clásica idea de "una nalgada a tiempo...". Por el contrario, nos enseña distintas maneras de imponer disciplina y límites sin dejar de demostrar verdadero amor.Dude to Dad: The First 9 Months

By Annmarie Kelly-Harbaugh, Ken Harbaugh. 2016
Before our three kids, we had been decent people. Interesting even. One of us had taught Shakespeare to gang members…
while the other flew reconnaissance missions off North Korea. But our own children had proven our biggest challenge.

and who want to be more present and connected to themselves and their children. Author Cathryn Monro combines personal experience, honesty, and humour to acknowledge the moments when motherhood stretches us to the edges of our tolerance, patience, anger, and exhaustion and asks; “Will motherhood ruin my life?” “What happened to my body and my career?” “How do I achieve anything?” “Am I doing it right?” “Whose anger is this?” “Is an ordinary life good enough?” Spilt Milk Yoga approaches motherhood as a path offering life’s richest and most profound lessons on love, acceptance and joy. Through guided self-inquiry the challenges become opportunities to grow, not in spite of motherhood, but because of it.Broken Brain, Fortified Faith: Lessons of Hope through a Child's Mental Illness

By Pam Lobley. 2016
Facing summer with her two boys, ages ten and seven, Pam Lobley was sifting through signups for swim team, rec…
camp, night camp, scout camp, and enrichment classes. Overwhelmed at the choices, she asked her sons what they wanted to do during summer: “Soccer? Zoo School? Little Prodigy’s Art Club?”“Why can’t we just play?” they asked.A summer with no scheduled activities at all . . . The thought was tempting, but was it possible? It would be like something out of the 1950s. Could they really have a summer like that?Juggling the expectations of her husband (“Are you going to wear garters?”), her son, Sam (“I’m bored!”), and her son, Jack (“Can I just stay in my pajamas?”), Pam sets out to give her kids an old-fashioned summer. During the shapeless days, she studies up on the myths and realities of the 1950s.

just missing each other. C. J. Schneider found herself in the middle of a perfect storm after giving birth to her third child and moving to a new neighborhood. Conditions for misery and postpartum depression were ideal: she was isolated, lonely, and exhausted with three young children at home. As she started talking with other mothers, she realized that she was not alone in her experience of feeling alone. In her unique voice, Schneider intelligently and compassionately offers practical advice on how to create the essential community that mothers need. Given the many examples of communal mothering from the past and around the world, as well as modern examples of communities in which mothers are thriving, the research is clear: since the beginning of womankind, mothering has been a communal effort. Mothers of the Village affirms that as mothers connect with each other and learn to work with each other, despite the challenges, they may find a piece of themselves that they have felt missing all along.The Power of Dadhood: How to Become the Father Your Child Needs

By Christopher Robbins. 2013

personality. You wonder how much nurture is going into this nature and how you'll ever survive let alone thrive. In the throes of raising nine children ages three through twenty one, Robbins, the Pater Familius of Familius.com has penned his thoughts on how to be happy while raising children in such a way that we embrace the imperfect system we call parenthood. We laugh, we cry, we debate and finally agree that parenthood is a unique and individual journey that reveals far more about ourselves than any other pursuit. In the spirit of Paul Arden's books on marketing, Robbins explores strategies, best practices, ideas, and the never-ending challenges of what it means to be a parent. In the end, he contends, family success and happiness is not only possible while raising children but is really all around us if we but stop, look, and listen.Ironmom: Training and Racing in a Family of 7

"Boyhood, like measles, is one of those complaints which a man should catch young and have done with, for when it comes in middle life it is apt to be serious." --P.G. WodehouseIt’s a fact: twins experience life differently than singleton children. They’re compared to each other in everything from athletics to…
academics. They encounter unique social issues (what happens when one child is invited to a social outing while her twin is not?). They can even have difficulty forming deep relationships outside of the twinship. Yet no book effectively helps parents navigate these unique emotional challenges—until now. In the first book written on the emotional needs of twins, Twinsight: How to Raise Emotionally Healthy Twins bypasses the usual discussions on how to pay for two tuitions (a conundrum, to be sure!) and instead tackles deeper questions: How do you help twins feel like individuals? Should they be expected to be each other’s caretaker? How can a parent avoid comparing? How can you encourage relationships outside the twinship? and more! Drawing on over eighty interviews with adult twins and their non-twin siblings, as well as expert insights from educators and psychologists and exhaustive research, author Dara Lovitz offers parents a definitive roadmap to raising emotionally healthy twins now and into the future.Muddling Through: Perspectives on Parenting
By Bil Lepp, Edith Songer. 2012
"When I was asked to write this book it was not because I am an accredited child rearing expert. I…
have no degree, credentials or recognition as a child raising expert. I am a professional storyteller who occasionally tells stories about parenting. Here's an important credential I do hold: I have won the West Virginia Liars' Contest five times.. . The advice I offer, however, is honest. I have two kids who, at this writing, are eight and eleven years old. That gives me nineteen collective years in the parenting trenches. I cannot claim to be a successful parent. I'm not sure when any parent can deem their job a success. Your child's whole life will be greatly determined by the portion they spend with you. I am offering what advice I can with the idea that I think my wife and I are doing pretty well.
