This book was released on 2012-03-04 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book What s Love Got to Do With It written by Dr. John Chirban and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having trouble talking to your kids about sex? Their friends at school don't... Unfortunately, for many parents, the most important conversations are the hardest. Ninety-three percent of adults are dissatisfied with the sex education they received as children, which is precisely why they are so bad at teaching their kids-they have no frame of reference. Renowned Harvard Medical School psychologist and frequent Dr. Phil guest John Chirban helps parents talk to their kids . . . about sex. Kids are going to learn about sex, and it is up to parents to decide if their kids are going to learn from them or from MTV. How parents address sex—their openness, the context, and their attitudes—will impact how their children view their own sexuality and self worth. Dr. Chirban helps parents know when, how, and how much. He uses humor, compassion, and real-life examples to prepare parents for a healthy and ongoing conversation that will equip their kids to own their own sexuality and an understanding of the larger issues of relationships, love, commitment, and intimacy. In addition, parents understand how helping their children understand these veiled yet critical keys of a fulfilling life deepens their own connection with their children.

Download or read book Strengths Based Parenting written by Mary Reckmeyer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strengths Based Parenting doesn't prescribe one "right" way to parent. Instead, author Mary Reckmeyer empowers parents to embrace their individual parenting style by discovering and developing their own -- and their children's -- talents and strengths. With real-life stories, practical advice backed by Gallup data, and access to the Clifton StrengthsFinder and Clifton Youth StrengthsExplorer assessments, Strengths Based Parenting builds the foundation for positive parenting. Strengths Based Parenting is grounded in decades of Gallup research on strengths psychology -- including assessments of nearly 1 million young people -- and highlighted in Gallup's national bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0. More than 14 million people have taken the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to discover their unique combination of talents and strengths. Gallup knows that focusing on talents and strengths can improve the quality of people's lives. Now, in Strengths Based Parenting, Gallup extends strengths psychology to the most important operating system in the world -- the family. How can you discover your children's unique talents? And how can you use your own talents and strengths to be the most effective and supportive parent possible? Strengths Based Parenting addresses these and other questions on parents' minds. But unlike many parenting books, Strengths Based Parenting focuses on identifying and understanding what your children are naturally good at and where they thrive -- not on their weaknesses. The book also helps you uncover your own innate talents and effectively apply them to your individual parenting style. Raising a child truly takes a village. Strengths Based Parenting can help parents learn how to partner with teachers, coaches and other adults in their kids' lives to create a positive, supportive environment to develop their talents into strengths and instill confidence.
