Book Description
Do your children seem to be getting out of control, showing no respect for you or others unless they feel like it? Are you lost as to whether spanking is useful, given all of the controversy surrounding it? If you were to spank, what are the things you need to know? In Raising Civilized Kids! authors Bob and Elaine Lehman share their experiences about what works and what doesn't in child discipline.

Raising Cain
Author: Dan Kindlon, Ph.D.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307569225
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The stunning success of Reviving Ophelia, Mary Pipher’s landmark book, showed a true and pressing need to address the emotional lives of girls. Now, finally, here is the book that answers our equally timely and critical need to understand our boys. In Raising Cain, Dan Kindlon, Ph.D., and Michael Thompson, Ph.D., two of the country’s leading child psychologists, share what they have learned in more than thirty-five years of combined experience working with boys and their families. They reveal a nation of boys who are hurting—sad, afraid, angry, and silent. Statistics point to an alarming number of young boys at high risk for suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, violence and loneliness. Kindlon and Thompson set out to answer this basic, crucial question: What do boys need that they’re not getting? They illuminate the forces that threaten our boys, teaching them to believe that “cool” equals macho strength and stoicism. Cutting through outdated theories of “mother blame,” “boy biology,” and "testosterone,” Kindlon and Thompson shed light on the destructive emotional training our boys receive—the emotional miseducation of boys. Through moving case studies and cutting-edge research, Raising Cain paints a portrait of boys systematically steered away from their emotional lives by adults and the peer “culture of cruelty”—boys who receive little encouragement to develop qualities such as compassion, sensitivity, and warmth. The good news is that this doesn't have to happen. There is much we can do to prevent it. Kindlon and Thompson make a compelling case that emotional literacy is the most valuable gift we can offer our sons, urging parents to recognize the price boys pay when we hold them to an impossible standard of manhood. They identify the social and emotional challenges that boys encounter in school and show how parents can help boys cultivate emotional awareness and empathy—giving them the vital connections and support they need to navigate the social pressures of youth. Powerfully written and deeply felt, Raising Cain will forever change the way we see our sons and will transform the way we help them to become happy and fulfilled young men.

The Meanest of Meanies
Author: Kristin Hensley

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
From the beloved New York Times bestselling #IMomSoHard duo, Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley, The Meanest of Meanies is a hilarious but heartfelt look at love and motherhood from the queens of modern motherhood themselves. The creators of the social media sensation #IMomSoHard, Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley, know what it means to be a M.O.M.—the Meanest Of Meanies! It’s cheering the loudest at the spelling bee, making crazy dinners because someone is a “picky eater,” bath time (enough said?), and only reading four books at bedtime when someone has piled up about eighty-two of them. Because the truth is that when you’re a M.O.M. being mean . . . means . . . I love you.

There Is a Tribe of Kids
Author: Lane Smith
Publisher: Roaring Brook Press
ISBN: 1626727562
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal When a young boy embarks on a journey alone . . . he trails a colony of penguins, undulates in a smack of jellyfish, clasps hands with a constellation of stars, naps for a night in a bed of clams, and follows a trail of shells, home to his tribe of friends. If Lane Smith's Caldecott Honor Book Grandpa Green was an homage to aging and the end of life, There Is a Tribe of Kids is a meditation on childhood and life's beginning. Smith's vibrant sponge-paint illustrations and use of unusual collective nouns such as smack and unkindness bring the book to life. Whimsical, expressive, and perfectly paced, this story plays with language as much as it embodies imagination, and was awarded the 2017 Kate Greenaway Medal. This title has Common Core connections.
