Book excerpt: Move beyond conventional treatment of children's learning, behavior and mood problems... Motivated by the staggering number of children with learning, behavior and mood problems who are not being helped by the traditional treatment approach, Dr. Gluckman offers a proven and effective drug-free option. Dr. Gluckman's treatment program challenges the traditional, compartmentalized approach that labels children with multiple diagnoses and treats them with medication. She strongly advocates using medication as a last resort for children with these problems. Based on many years of experience working with parents and children of all ages, Dr. Sandy Gluckman has observed that there is a problem-free child with a healthy spirit, body and brain, trapped behind the layers of learning, behavior and mood symptoms. Dr. Gluckman describes a healthy and safe way of freeing this child. The unique aspect of Dr. Gluckman's treatment solution is that stress is seen as the original trigger for all learning, behavior and mood symptoms. She describes how stress impacts the child's spirit and how this will negatively impact the physiological and neurochemical functioning of the body and brain. In this book she guides the reader, methodically through her 3-Step Parents, Take Charge program. The reader will learn exactly how to find and treat the stress and the underlying physiological causes of the child's symptoms. Her NeuroParenting toolbox gives the reader parenting skills to balance the child's chemistry, as part of their daily routine. The book is written in an easy-to-read, engaging way, complete with illustrations that explain the content. It is filled with research, information, stories and case studies that bring to life the benefits of this drug-free treatment program. The content is based on a synthesis of the newest research and insights drawn from functional medicine, interpersonal neurobiology, psychology and neuroscience as well as Dr. Gluckman's own clinical experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After being bombarded by parenting fad after parenting fad, moms and dads finally have a friendly, commonsense guide to raising thriving children.

How children learn love and respect at home becomes the template for how they show love and respect in life. It’s a huge task, but Dr. Berman is your ally every step of the way.

Parents, teachers and children themselves recount turning points at which they figured out what great parenting looked like and the magic it unlocked. This engaging book—a perfect mix of medical research and inspirational anecdotes—just might be the key to being the parent you want to be and the parent your children need.

Download or read book Duct Tape Parenting written by Vicki Hoefle and published by Bibliomotion, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a new set of 3Rs for our kids—respect, responsibility, and resilience—to better prepare them for life in the real world. Once developed, these skills let kids take charge, and let parents step back, to the benefit of all. Casting hover mothers and helicopter parents aside, Vicki Hoefle encourages a different, counter-intuitive—yet much more effective—approach: for parents to sit on their hands, stay on the sidelines, even if duct tape is required, so that the kids step up. Duct Tape Parenting gives parents a new perspective on what it means to be effective, engaged parents and to enable kids to develop confidence through solving their own problems. This is not a book about the parenting strategy of the day—what the author calls “Post-It Note Parenting”—but rather a relationship-based guide to span all ages and stages of development. Witty, straight-shooting Hoefle addresses frustrated parents everywhere who are ready to raise confident, capable children to go out in the world.
Download or read book Rethinking School How to Take Charge of Your Child s Education written by Susan Wise Bauer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you read only one book on educating children, this should be the book.… With a warm, informative voice, Bauer gives you the knowledge that will help you flex the educational model to meet the needs of your child.” —San Francisco Book Review Our K–12 school system isn’t a good fit for all—or even most—students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels on differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged. This informed, compassionate, and practical guidebook will show you how to take control of your child’s K–12 experience and negotiate the school system in a way that nurtures your child’s mind, emotions, and spirit. Understand why we have twelve grades, and why we match them to ages. Evaluate your child’s maturity, and determine how to use that knowledge to your advantage. Find out what subject areas we study in school, why they exist—and how to tinker with them. Discover what learning disabilities and intellectual giftedness are, how they can overlap, how to recognize them, and how those labels can help (or hinder) you. Work effectively with your child’s teachers, tutors, and coaches. Learn to teach important subjects yourself. Challenge accepted ideas about homework and standardized testing. Help your child develop a vision for the future. Reclaim your families’ priorities (including time for eating together, playing, imagining, traveling, and, yes, sleeping!). Plan for college—or apprenticeships. Consider out-of-the-box alternatives.
