Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 13 Common Issues of Rearing Children is the family booklet because every family should have a copy of it safe and handy in the home. The family booklet is a guide, checklist, and even a wake-up call to parents. The family booklet is not a thick book with a lot of theory and cross-references. It is not based on family surveys, workshops, or complex evaluations. The family booklet is a short, concise, authoritative guide based on actual observations and experiences from within the family’s home. It is not a psychologist’s account nor one from a professional counselor, and there are no other references listed. But it is a unique on-the-job account from a very experienced family leader who successfully reaches out to families and uses his knowledge and gifts to impact their lives. In the family booklet, I provide regular insights of what I have learned in the home and narrow down my insights to those I believe are the most powerful and effective. Chapter by chapter, I bring understanding to each issue and then come behind that understanding with real-life examples and observations directly from the home. Common issues like discipline in the home, the importance of structure, and the need to praise children are all covered in the family booklet. I also address essentials in the home like safety, proper nutrition, and good hygiene. I am candid in the family booklet as I talk about anger in the home, how it affects the children, and what parents can do to purge anger from the home. The family booklet is inspired by love for the family, and it is in this love that I regularly challenge father, mother, and children throughout the booklet. I close the family booklet with such a challenge as I delve into the central issue of the home—the need for spiritual authority. In closing, I am vastly aware of the passion parents feel for their children, and I believe the family booklet reflects that passion. The commentary is full of emotion and is often intense, yet the family booklet keeps calm as it flows with interest and proves itself a very easy read. I hope everyone enjoys reading The 13 Common Issues of Rearing Children, the family booklet. I am confident that it can be the small and powerful guide for your home.

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.

Download or read book Confident Parents Confident Kids written by Jennifer S. Miller and published by Fair Winds Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.
