This revolutionary roadmap includes: A unique framework with eight quadrants that separates parenting responsibilities into actionable, manageable tasks—for the whole bumpy ride from cradle to college. Simple strategies to stay truly present and focused, whether you’re playing with your kids, enjoying a meal with your significant other, or getting ahead on that big proposal for work. Clever tips to make the most of in-between time—Just 5-15 minutes of your undivided attention has a huge impact on kids. Permission to take personal timewithout feeling guilty, and the science and case studies that show how important self-care is and how to make time for it.

A much-needed book for parents about themselves. In the tradition of Dr. Benjamin Spock, who in 1946 revolutionized parenting with the famous opening words of his classic child-rearing guide, "You know more than you think you know," child and family therapist David Anderegg reminds contemporary parents that "parenting is not rocket science. It's not even Chem 101." So why do those of us with children worry so much? Whether they're thinking about school violence or getting a child into the right college, American moms and dads are a pretty worried crowd. Even though most American families are safer and healthier today than at any other time in our history, studies show that parental worrying has, in recent years, reached an all-time high. In Worried All the Time, Dr. Anderegg draws on social science research and his more than twenty years' experience as a therapist treating both parents and their children to clarify facts and fantasies about kids' lives today and the key issues that preoccupy parents. In the process, he offers a comforting and useful message: Parents are suffering needlessly -- and there are things they can do to take the edge off and focus on what their children really need. In Worried All the Time, Dr. Anderegg identifies some of the causes of worry in contemporary American families, including fewer children, exaggerated fear of competition, and overblown media reports of children at risk. Anderegg calls this the "tabloidization of children" and critiques the fashion for media portrayals of "children in crisis." One at a time, he takes on the hot-button issues of our times: • the use of day care and nannies • overexposure to media • school violence • overscheduling • experimentation with drugs and looks a little closer to see the facts and the fantasies beneath the hysteria. Calling himself a "crisis agnostic," Anderegg persuasively argues that needless worry has negative consequences for families and for our culture as a whole. The cardinal rules of good parenting -- moderation, empathy, and temperamental accommodation with one's child -- are simple, he says, and are not likely to be improved upon by the latest scientific findings. Anderegg helps parents to understand the difference between wise vigilance and potentially crippling anxiety and to gain the confidence to trust their own common sense.

Clocks and calendars rule our lives, and while time is constant, life is anything but linear. The Greeks talked about time in two ways. Chronos means measurable time. Kairos means understanding the value of a moment. As the clock ticks by, it's vital you find meaningful moments to hug your toddler, laugh with school-aged child, or have a deep conversation with your teenager. Paul encourages us in Ephesians to make the most of our time, being proactive with every minute we have. The principles in this book will help you develop skills you need to build meaningful relationships with your children, no matter where they are in life. By building on foundational principles such as consistency and intentionality, and modeling leadership values such as honor, courage, and vision, you will position your children to ultimately change their world. Remember, time is free, but it is precious. Master your time and you will master your life.

In a world full of many influences, The Parenting Project shows you how, through the practice of daily conversation, to maintain influence in your child's life. Are you losing the influence game with your children? If you want to direct your child's growth, then they need to get to know you. In The Parenting Project, parenting experts Dr. Amy Alamar and Dr. Kristine Schlichting show you how to talk with your children on a regular basis to gain their trust. In a time when kids have many things vying for their attention, you want to become the go-to person, the one they turn to the most for advice and comfort. Sometimes it's difficult to speak with your children about serious subjects. That's why The Parenting Project teaches you how to make a habit of it, providing you with prompts to help start potentially difficult conversations across a broad range of subjects that apply to everyday life. The authors have divided these conversations into five categories to inform your approach—Heart-based, Uncomfortable, Dangerous, Character, and Brave—because each type requires different strategies and "conversation starters." The book includes story after story of how parents have built extraordinary relationships with kids through the act of talking with one another, day by day. With some help from Dr. Alamar and Dr. Schlichting, it will be become easier to open up conversations with (rather than at) your children so that when the big questions arise, your child will turn to you first.

Real-Time Parenting is the antidote to our comparison culture. Parents increase self-awareness and develop trust in themselves by taking inventory of their personality, values, and past experiences. They craft a unique vision for their family and choose action steps to meet their children's needs in the heat of everyday moments. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Real-Time Parenting is written by three parent coaches who understand the demands of parenthood and empower moms and dads to discover their personal best. Through stories and practice, they respond to their family with intention instead of reacting from stress. They build self-confidence as they embrace a positive mindset, celebrate wins, and engage with a supportive community. Referencing well-known experts and professional experience, Real-Time Parenting presents a versatile toolkit of ten best practices based in positive communication, effective discipline, and problem-solving. Parents become influential guides for their unique children through teaching, modeling, and setting healthy boundaries. They focus on connection and encouraging "do" behaviors instead of trying to control their children. Moms and dads realize it is never too late to improve the parent-child relationship. Parents propel their children toward healthy independence and find renewed joy in real time.
