Download or read book The Opposite of Spoiled written by Ron Lieber and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller “We all want to raise children with good values—children who are the opposite of spoiled—yet we often neglect to talk to our children about money. . . . From handling the tooth fairy, to tips on allowance, chores, charity, checking accounts, and part-time jobs, this engaging and important book is a must-read for parents.” — Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project In the spirit of Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman’s Nurture Shock, New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values. Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic. But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don’t know how and when to start.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Cocooning and Spoiling Faulty Child-Rearing Practices Impatient and Restless Parents Critical Parents Bargaining Parents Resentful Parents Indulgent Parents Inconsistent Parents Child Rearing Tips Enjoying Your Child’s Company Teaching Kids to Fend for Themselves Making Simple Rules Frustration Tolerance Conclusion Appendix Author Bio Publisher Introduction How many times in your life have you come across children, who are quite capable of throwing tantrums when their slightest wish is not fulfilled immediately? Just imagine a mother panicking, because she is just going back home from the office, and she has forgotten to bring some chocolate ice cream for her kids. She knows what she is going to meet when she enters her house. Tear fests, tantrums, whining and complaining. This is when parenting turns out to be not a pleasure, but a pain. Many parents do not know the best level headed approach to bringing up kids without spoiling them. Why is the reason why parents begin to dread facing their children as they are going to make their lives a living hell when they are told that they are not going to get the things that they expect their parents to bring them? In the eyes of the neighbors and the teachers, that particular child is such a perfectly behaved little angel, but the moment their parents have to deal with her or him, he turns out to be a little devil incarnate. This child is stubborn, and difficult to handle. He cries at regular intervals. He throws temper tantrums. He disobeys instructions. In fact, he is going the right way in becoming a menace to society and the people around him. This book is for all those parents who want to know how to bring up their children as future well balanced, sensible, mature, and responsible young adults. If you recognize any child in your vicinity having such loud temper tantrums regularly, or you think that this scene is familiar in your own family, it is time you sit back and pay a bit of attention. Are you afraid of coming back into your own house, because you know that there is going to be a World War III taking place there just because of your little ones does the thought of dealing with your angry child make you feel upset and uncertain? And most of all, are you feeling guilty and helpless just thinking why your child is behaving the way he or she is, in spite of your best efforts to check or discipline him/her? Nobody wants a spoiled brat. But many of these brats become spoiled, just because their parents have allowed them to get away figuratively with murder from day one. Nowadays, I am sorry to say, that many parents think that it is the children who should be in control. A child has say in questioning the way in which he is brought up, and can call the police in if his parents day to admonish him or discipline him or even call him a greedy little pig. This is an absurd state of society or of your environment. I read a book in which her mother was so immature and helpless, that her 11-year-old daughter had to make the decisions for her mother who could not be bothered. The child had to take care of finances and money matters, because the mother was still living in her world, where her parents treated her like a little doll and a little princess from day go. After she got married, this burden was shifted on her child! A child is not an adult. A child is not a decision-maker. A child needs to be taught right from wrong. It is the duty of the parent to teach a child not to expect things beyond reasonable limits.
Download or read book Spoiled Right written by Meghan Owenz and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spoiled Right allows you to cut through the noise so you can provide kids the childhoods they deserve. Get this book!" -Richard Freed, psychologist and author of Wired Child "I am so glad this book exists. As a parent, educator, and screentime consultant aware of the modern challenges presented by excess screen use, I am constantly searching for research-based strategies to apply in my own home and in my work with clients. Dr. Owenz's book is not only chock full of the research we need to support child-centered developmental choices, but it also provides parents and caregivers with practical and tactical 'to-do's' to put intention into (research-backed) action. It's not about 'less screens'; it's about more of the high-quality life experiences that truly contribute to healthy development. Dr. Owenz approaches the challenge of screentime with empathy, warmth, and personal experience to show that less screentime is not only possible, it's preferable in the long run. It is easy to tell parents 'do less screentime, ' but to have a resource that actually maps out the five key ingredients (her S.P.O.I.L. method) for raising healthy and happy children is truly awesome. This book will be a go-to resource for me for a long time!" -Emily Cherkin, MA Ed, and The Screentime Consultant From the author of popular parenting blog, Screen-Free Parenting. If kids are supposed to be spending less time on screens, what should they be doing instead? This book answers that question and gives parents and those who work with them, a science-backed, developmentally appropriate system for emphasizing alternative activities of childhood that can incidentally reduce screen time and minimize the negative effects. It's the much needed "what to do" answer in response to the heavy-handed "what not to do" mandates about children's screen time. Dr. Owenz suggests caregivers do not need another thing to avoid, and instead should be focusing on what children need more of, like social time, play opportunities, outdoor experiences, chores, and a strong relationship with reading. Meghan Owenz, PhD is an author, parent, counseling psychologist, and professor at Penn State University, Berks. She is the co-founder and writer of the popular parenting website, Screen-Free Parenting. She is a regular speaker on the topic of children's screen time and uses her expertise to advocate for science-backed changes to policies and practices that affect children's well-being. She also created the board game, Starting Lines, to fight creative decline and reward children's out-of-the-box thinking. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two children who are thriving with very limited screen time.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book excerpt: "In Do Fathers Matter? the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we've often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood--and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves."--www.Amazon.com.
Download or read book The Spoilt Generation written by Aric Sigman and published by Piatkus Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the space of a few decades the way we parent has changed dramatically. Something we once did intuitively has become the subject of political fashion, guided by experts. As parents we are older and more time-poor than ever before, with the highest proportion of single-parent households in history. Our children are now spoiled in ways that go far beyond materialism. But they are suffering to a degree we never anticipated: we now have the highest rates of child depression, underage pregnancy and violent and anti-social behaviour since records began. Yet adults, at every level, have retreated from authority and in doing so have robbed our children of their basic supporting structures. In THE SPOILT GENERATION, Dr Sigman takes issues by the scruff of the neck, among them children's sense of entitlement, the effects of TV and computers, single-parent homes and 'blended' families, parental guilt and the compensation culture. He offers a clear practical message to us all - parents, grandparents, teachers and policy-makers alike - as to how we can redress the status quo, redefine our roles and together cultivate happier and better-behaved children.
