With clarity, warmth and a refreshingly honest voice, Sarah Napthali shows that Buddhist teachings can bring enormous benefit to the lives of mothers.
With her children at school, a mother is on to a new stage of her life, playing a new role. The daily challenges she confronts have changed, yet for each one Buddhist teachings of mindfulness, compassion and calm are invaluable. This book explores those teachings through many scenarios, including managing the stress of numerous deadlines, coping with routine and repetition, answering children' s tricky questions about how the world works, fitting in with other parents, managing our fears and expectations of our children, and dealing with difficult behaviours in both children and adults.
In her usual warm, wise, inclusive and accessible style, Sarah also suggests ways to share Buddhist teachings with children so they maintain a connection to their own inner wisdom rather than reacting ...

Turning the Me Generation Into the We Generation : Raising Kids That Care

Michael Ungar

Though today's youth culture may seem totally self-centred, kids still want close relationships with the significant adults in their lives. Like generations before them, they also want to be noticed for the contributions they can make. What they need, though, is compassion and encouragement from their parents.
Combining inspiring stories from his professional experience with research from around the world, Michael Ungar reveals how the close connections kids crave, and the support adults provide, can help kids achieve their full potential - and how it can also protect them from the dangers of delinquency, whether it be drug abuse, violence, or early sexual activity.
A fresh, optimistic approach to our children's true nature and potential.

As we lurch from scare to scare about vaccines, we no longer fully trust what we are being told by doctors. In a series of investigations over seven years into all the new and commonly-prescribed vaccines (including HPV), autism, immune diseases and allergies, Dr Richard Halvorsen spoke to health officials, researchers, fellow doctors and parents. He discovered that vaccines are being given to children without knowing enough about them. Parents are regularly being misguided about vaccine effectiveness and their safety. Doctors are not being provided with the right information. They even live in fear of being seen to challenge perceived wisdom. Medical researchers often find that impartial vaccine research is impossible - those who dare speak-out, risk being discredited. By presenting all the original medical research in an easy, readable form, Dr Halvorsen allows parents to distinguish fact from fiction and make an informed decision ...

You Sexy Mother
redefines what it means to be a stay-at-home mum today... one who is sexy, vibrant, healthy, happy and engaged in a life that has meaning and value.
When she became a mother herself, Jodie Hedley-Ward failed to find any book that supported her own beliefs about what motherhood could and should be, so she set about writing one herself. In particular, she wanted to explore three key concepts:
(1) The idea that being a stay-at-home mum can be an exciting, fulfilling and even lucrative option
(2) To show via her own journey how it is possible to change from the stereotypical worn-out mum who is losing her sense of self, into a sexy, vibrant woman who embraces her role
(3) To provide an alternative to the traditional black-and-white options of working mother (feeling guilty/children in full-time care) versus stereotypical frumpy stay-at-home mum (who attends parent groups and doesn't bother with her ...

This work presents the no-holds-barred truth about what having a baby can do to your marriage - and what you can do about it. In the months after a first child is born, all hell breaks loose. A crying newborn can reduce a grown man to tears, turn a sane woman into a bottle-wielding shrew, and otherwise test the strongest of marriages. It sometimes seems that a baby's mission is to destroy everything it comes in contact with: your furniture, your clothes, your car, and your marriage. This funny, compassionate, opinionated guide addresses how the early parenting years impact marriage, using real-life stories from both men and women to tell the whole truth. It discusses in detail couples' frustrations over the division of labour, changing roles and expectations, sex (or lack thereof), and dealing with parents and in-laws. With real quotes from real people, and the authors own combined experiences, it offers a positive, humorous and ...
