Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK From the giggly four-year old who proclaims that he wants to marry his teacher to the pre-teen who gushes over the cute boy who sits next to her in class, your child's first crush is a new frontier, and its best to prepare yourself long before it happens. As a parent, you can take an active part in helping your child navigate his or her romantic feelings. To be a positive part of your childs first experience with puppy love, the most important thing you can do is help your child feel comfortable communicating with you. A crush is no more than an infatuation. Unlike a true romantic relationship, when two individuals acknowledge their deep feelings for one another, a crush is often a one-sided attraction. When children have a crush, they are not focused on loving the object of their affection as an entire person, flaws and all. Instead, they build up a fantasy of sorts in their minds, and spend time daydreaming about what it would be like to be together. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Try to find out how your childs crush is responding to him. Ask him if his crush talks to him at school. This will help you gauge the level of intensity and the direction things are headed. If his crush returns his feelings, he may be on the verge of a relationship. While you wont be able to change the eventual outcome of your sons crush, you can guide him as he navigates the unfamiliar waters of romantic feelings. The way you approach the subject will depend on your childs age. For a young child, be positive but truthful when you talk about the crush. Explain that it's normal to have strong feelings for people when you like their looks and behavior, but make sure your child knows that it's not necessary to act on those feelings. Guide him or her in making appropriate decisions. For instance, if your daughter wants to give a gift to a boy she likes on Valentine's Day, help her choose something that won't be overwhelming for either party. If the object of your young child's affection is an adult, don't be overly concerned. According to Dr. Laura Rocker, a pediatric physician, children often experience their first crush on a celebrity or an adult they find attractive. This behavior is normal, and as a child grows older, he or she will become interested in peers his or her own age... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book Primal Loss written by Leila Miller and published by Lcb Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy now-adult children of divorce give their candid and often heart-wrenching answers to eight questions (arranged in eight chapters, by question), including: What were the main effects of your parents' divorce on your life? What do you say to those who claim that "children are resilient" and "children are happy when their parents are happy"? What would you like to tell your parents then and now? What do you want adults in our culture to know about divorce? What role has your faith played in your healing? Their simple and poignant responses are difficult to read and yet not without hope. Most of the contributors--women and men, young and old, single and married--have never spoken of the pain and consequences of their parents' divorce until now. They have often never been asked, and they believe that no one really wants to know. Despite vastly different circumstances and details, the similarities in their testimonies are striking; as the reader will discover, the death of a child's family impacts the human heart in universal ways.
