While the children seemed happy on the outside, deep inside they were suffering from the hidden trauma that so many adopted children carry with them. Because of the rejection, neglect, and abandonment they experience in the first few months of life, some adopted children are imprinted with the subconscious belief that at their core they are unlovable and worthless, even if their new parents are nurturing and loving. What Every Adoptive Parent Needs to Know offers adoptive parents and parents-to-be a solution. By following the threads of the Richards’ moving story, clarified by insightful analysis and practical advice from family therapist Kate Cremer-Vogel, readers of this compelling book discover it is never too late to heal the wounded heart of a child. This remarkable true-life story of raising two adopted children is a tale of hope and resilience, of two parents unprepared for their children’s psychological wounds that only time would reveal. Most importantly, it shows that profound healing is possible when adoptive families realize that traditional parenting is not enough.

Book excerpt: Real Help for the Toughest Talks Most parents dread talking about sex with their children. Anne Marie Miller loves giving "the talk." As she has shared her personal story and talked about God's gift of sex with almost half a million young people, she's noticed some disturbing patterns: · Google is how kids learn about sex · Kids are learning about sex and viewing pornography earlier than parents think · The sexually abused often don't tell anyone for fear of getting in trouble · Sexual messages are being consumed daily through mainstream and social media · Most parents think their child is the exception Instead of sweeping this topic under the rug, Miller wants to change the narrative. In this immensely practical and well-researched book, she equips parents to have meaningful and age-appropriate conversations with their children about sex, pornography, and sexual abuse. She advises parents on how to keep the lines of communication open so that their children know they can trust them with their fears, struggles, and mistakes. Most important, she offers hope to worried parents that their children can grow up with a healthy biblical view of sex as a gift from God.

'Parenthood can be a jungle, but Justin's advice and simple strategies will help you find that path back to sanity, stability and smiling kids.' - Lisa Wilkinson Everyone wants their family to be happy, but so much gets in the way - work stress, commitments and our children's challenging behaviour are some of the usual suspects. Less obvious obstacles are our own habits and expectations, a reactive parenting style, and even a lack of clarity about what makes a family truly happy. As a result, families often seem fragmented, stressed and out of control. Kidspot parenting expert Justin Coulson knows how to make families happier. In this book, he combines cutting-edge insights from positive psychology with classic psychological research to help parents identify and develop habits that will strengthen their family. In his trademark warm and empathic style Justin covers topics like finding the most effective parenting style for your child, getting relationships right and how that leads to effective discipline, using mindfulness in parenting, being emotionally available to your children - and so much more.

Download or read book Things Have Got to Change written by David Wilson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-14 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an easy read of a little over 100 pages and is an open exchange between a very loving father who thought he was getting it right in the way that he approached the raising of his children. However, an alternate opinion is offered by his daughter who points out that her Dad wasn't so smart after all. There are 10 very important points that direct our attention toward common mistakes that can be made in the give-and-take between parents and children. One of the most important concepts is trying to establish rules and boundaries in those important years prior to the "terrible teens". Many parenting books discuss the challenges confronting mothers, fathers and their children after there has been a loss of dialogue, love and leadership. The atmosphere is not mutual love and trust, but mistrust and defiance. Circumstances such as these leave children extremely vulnerable to the perils of modern society. We are surrounded by horrible dangers on the Internet, on the streets and even in the classroom. If you examine certain societies and cultures around the world, you will see that children within these societies do not give in to the aberrant behaviors that we see so prevalently in America, i.e., drug use, promiscuity, poor academic performance, chronic bullying and a lethargic view of societal responsibilities. This is because in other cultures, there are behavioral requirements and expectations that are built in the early stages of a child's development. The irony is that in the early years of a child's life, establishing desirable behaviors is surprisingly easy. The early years are what the authors describe as "critical periods of development". A simple analogy serves to explain. We all know that children acquire their native language passively, meaning they don't have to work at it, it just comes along naturally. This is because language acquisition happens in a critical period of development. So it is with behavior. During these critical years, too many American parents abdicate their responsibility as teachers, role models and disciplinarians in an effort to be friends with their children. They don't seem to want to put in the work necessary to be a parent. It's easier to give kids a tablet, an iPod or an iPhone than it is to actually get down on their hands and knees and be involved. There is a discussion of the neurological damage that can occur through chronic exposure to what are called by some experts, "passive screens", meaning the screens associated with the aforementioned electronic devices. Interestingly, even though this book is a dialogue between father and daughter, it is the daughter's retrospective look that highlights what she perceived to be the ten most important concepts that appear to have been mismanaged while she was maturing. The bottom line to successful parenting as suggested by the authors is to get going early in your child's life, be consistent, be loving and don't be afraid to be strong.

Download or read book Parenting Essentials written by Mark J. Musser and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As parents, each day we are building a legacy into our children. Do you know what your legacy will be? The choices we make today will affect our children's choices tomorrow. How we live day to day will shape how our children make entertainment choices, whether or not they cultivate a life of prayer, how much they invest in God's Word, their attitude toward church, if they will develop a servant's heart, and what kind of parent they will be. Indeed, fifty years from now, what our children and grandchildren will be doing may very well come down to the way we train and equip our children today.You may have heard it said, "Your actions speak so loudly, I can't hear what you are saying." The great preacher, Charles Spurgeon, put it like this, "A man's life is always more forcible than his speech. When men take stock of him they reckon his deeds as dollars and his words as pennies." As parents, our words are important, but what our children will remember in the end is what we do as we live out our lives in front of their watchful eyes.Do you know what you should be doing as a Christian parent? Do you understand what essential characteristics must be modeled for your children and teens? These are the questions this family-defining book seeks to answer.Yet, understand, these parental choices will never be "once and done." We must model them each and every day. So parents, settle in for the long haul. Stay strong. Stay true, and fulfill your great calling as a parent. Your children, grandchildren, and beyond will all be better for it!
