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.
Download or read book Communicating with Kids written by Stephanie Davies-Arai and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confused by all the conflicting parenting advice you hear? Not sure who is right or what to do? Well, relax and read this book. Ever wondered why your child gets more upset the nicer you are? Or why your child is always arguing with you, doesn’t listen or seems intent on doing the opposite of what you want? Now you no longer have to worry – Communicating with Kids has the answers. This new book explains how so often children are not resisting our messages but the way we are sending them. It demonstrates why some of the ways we communicate lead to exactly the opposite of the behaviour we want, and provides methods to tweak your language and approach so that children are willing to help you. So much of the parenting advice we hear works against a child’s developing brain, so this book shows you how to work with it instead – which makes all the difference. Once you understand the difference between what you are saying and what your child actually hears, life with children becomes so much easier. This book is all about communication because apart from that, there’s no other advice you need; the best way to bring up your child is to be yourself and do it your way. Communicating with Kids is a book guaranteed to help all parents, whether they veer towards the methods of Penelope Leach or Supernanny, or have never read a parenting book before. It is not based on any parenting ideology, but on genuine experience with a wide range of children. It is a plain-talking book that presents communication methods that work, so parents gain the confidence to be themselves.

Download or read book From Neurons to Neighborhoods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.

This short read book provides practical advice and actionable strategies to instill confidence in your kids, helping them develop a strong sense of self and thrive in any situation. The book begins by emphasizing the importance of encouraging self-expression in children. By allowing them to freely express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas, parents can help build their confidence and self-esteem. Building a supportive network is also crucial, as it provides children with a sense of belonging and a support system to lean on. Cultivating positive relationships is another key aspect discussed in this book. By teaching children how to build healthy relationships and surround themselves with positive influences, parents can help them develop strong social skills and a positive outlook on life. Developing a growth mindset is also explored, as it encourages children to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and believe in their ability to grow and improve. Encouraging independence and assigning age-appropriate responsibilities are essential for building confidence in children. By giving them opportunities to take on responsibilities and make decisions, parents can help them develop a sense of competence and autonomy. Promoting problem-solving skills and celebrating achievements further reinforce their confidence and self-belief. The book also delves into the importance of focusing on effort, not just results, and encouraging goal setting. By teaching children to value the process and effort they put into their endeavors, rather than solely focusing on the outcome, parents can help them develop a resilient mindset and a healthy attitude towards success and failure. Teaching resilience, problem-solving strategies, and promoting self-care are also explored in this book. By equipping children with the tools to bounce back from setbacks, solve problems effectively, and take care of their physical and emotional well-being, parents can help them navigate the ups and downs of life with confidence and grace. Throughout the book, the importance of instilling values and beliefs, teaching empathy and kindness, promoting inclusivity and diversity, and celebrating uniqueness is emphasized. By modeling self-acceptance and providing unconditional love and support, parents can create a nurturing environment where children feel valued and confident in who they are.
