Parents and caregivers struggle to cope with the demands of modern day living and need practical ways to help them raise happy, well-adjusted and independent children. This book includes invaluable and practical advice on how to improve a child's planning and organisational skills, how to tackle homework, and general discipline. The Manual That Never Came With Your Child shows parents/caregivers: how to create an appropriate environment for the child to do his or her homework; the setting up of routines; how to organise weekly and monthly planners; how to teach a child to study; how to devise the ultimate homework diary; ideas on games and activities to improve a child's visual and auditory perceptual skills, their reading, spelling and times tables as well as fine and gross motor skills; what children need to eat to optimise brain power. The sticky issue of discipline is also covered comprehensively. Written in easy laymen's terms, the often-humorous text is accompanied by full-colour cartoon illustrations throughout, which 'lightens' the approach to issues that are often regarded as nightmares by despairing parents. Where necessary, there are also colour photographs. Regular 'Handy Hints' boxes are included to summarise the preceding concepts in a nutshell.

All parent stories about raising a child with Down syndrome are special and unique, but in the hands of a good writer, they can have the power to reach, change, and resonate far beyond family and friends. And that is the case with My Heart Can't Even Believe It, by journalist, blogger, and NPR contributor Amy Silverman. Amy bravely looks at her life, before and after her daughter Sophie was born, and reflects on her transformation from "a spoiled, self-centered brat," who used words like retard and switched lines at the Safeway to avoid a bagger with special needs, into the mother of a kid with Down syndrome and all that her new identity entails. She describes her evolution as gradual, one built by processing her fears and facing questions both big and small about Sophie, Down syndrome, and her place in the world. Funny, touching, and honest, this wonderful book looks at a daughter and her power to change minds and fill hearts with love so deep.

This book teaches frustrated, stressed-out parents that selectively ignoring certain behaviors can actually inspire positive changes in their kids. With all the whining, complaining, begging, and negotiating, parenting can seem more like a chore than a pleasure. Dr. Catherine Pearlman, syndicated columnist and one of America’s leading parenting experts, has a simple yet revolutionary solution: Ignore It! Dr. Pearlman’s four-step process returns the joy to child rearing. Combining highly effective strategies with time-tested approaches, she teaches parents when to selectively look the other way to withdraw reinforcement for undesirable behaviors. Too often we find ourselves bargaining, debating, arguing and pleading with kids. Instead of improved behavior parents are ensuring that the behavior will not only continue but often get worse. When children receive no attention or reward for misbehavior, they realize their ways of acting are ineffective and cease doing it. Using proven strategies supported by research, this book shows parents how to: - Avoid engaging in a power struggle - Stop using attention as a reward for misbehavior - Use effective behavior modification techniques to diminish and often eliminate problem behaviors Overflowing with wisdom, tips, scenarios, frequently asked questions, and a lot of encouragement, Ignore It! is the parenting program that promises to return bliss to the lives of exasperated parents.
