Parents are facing the toughest challenge of their lives. They want to create a loving family environment filled with mutual respect and cooperation… but they find instead that human nature and the influence of our culture combine to produce an atmosphere of anxiety, exhaustion, and far too much screaming. Perhaps you can relate! Whether you scream at your children or not, you no doubt feel anxious about them and their choices. You worry how they’ll turn out. Unfortunately for parents, many of the techniques some experts present only seem to make matters worse. Hal Edward Runkel has discovered why: Parents are spending far too much time orbiting their lives around their children. They need to return the focus to themselves. They need to grow up and calm down. ScreamFree Parenting is about taming your reactive responses to your deep anxiety. Rather than learning new techniques, you’ll discover the liberating principles, based on scriptural truths, that are inspiring parents just like you to revolutionize their family life. Principles that will enable you to remain cool, calm, and connected with your children, no matter what. Learn how to parent less out of your deepest fears and more out of the highest principles in ScreamFree Parenting. Special edition distributed through Christian booksellers.

From author and speaker Melanie Dale comes a laugh-out-loud hilarious parenting book that teaches you how to dial back the stress of raising children with the simple premise that we all just need to lighten up a little bit. Most of us thought we’d be amazing parents—and then we had kids. Now we spend what little free time we have comparing ourselves to other parents, comparing our kids to other kids, and panicking that everyone else is nailing it except us. Between constant social media postings to conflicting advice found in parenting books, we often have no choice but to freak out. But there is another way. We all just need to calm the h*ck down. Melanie Dale—a special needs parent, adoptive parent, in vitro parent, and reluctant cheer mom—believes we are all putting too much pressure on ourselves and our kids to be perfect. Instead, she argues, we need to take a step back so we can actually enjoy this journey called parenting. Calm the H*ck Down is filled with stories from Melanie’s own life, as well as real-life research for learning how to lighten up about every aspect of parenting—from poopy diapers and germs to family vacations and adolescent angst. She also discusses the pressure to knock it all out of the Pinterest park, the challenge of instilling some kind of faith into your kids, and worrying about their future while still trying to live in the present. Infused with quirky humor, profound insight, and accessible advice, Calm the H*ck Down gives you the permission to finally relax and enjoy this ridiculous thing we do called parenting.

How to avoid fatal parenting mistakes that even professional pedagogues make... We all know the uncontrollable rage of our children when they don't get what they want. And unfortunately, those tantrums go far beyond the typical ice cream discussions in the supermarket. You and your children are two different human beings, each of you with their own needs and desires. Since you can't read each other's minds, effective communication is fundamental for a healthy relationship between parents and their kids. But how do you stay calm when Peter is hooked to his PlayStation console, Anna refuses to do her chores and John neglects everything you say? In a world where every day feels like another Formula One race, it can be challenging to step back, reflect and listen instead of throwing a fit. Parents' unconscious daily behavior often leads to: Setting unreasonable boundaries Using harsh discipline Being absent Having sky-high expectations ...and overall disconnecting from their kids. Down the line, this will lead to troubling behavioral patterns in your children such as: Being overbearing Anxiety Depression Low self-esteem ...and other major physical and mental struggles. The key to maintaining a calm, peaceful and balanced family life is called peaceful parenting. This is only a select sample of what you'll discover in Peaceful Parenting and Mindfulness for Parents and Kids A step-by-step guide to the number #1 parenting technique for parents who really care about their kids' happiness Fad or Fab?

With the help of the latest research on peaceful parenting and its effectiveness, those valuable hours can be easily saved. Whoever says regular fights are part of family life is wrong! Furious arguments don't have to be on your daily agenda. With the right mindfulness tricks, they can simply be replaced by calm and effective communication. No wonder, highly respected pedagogues and scientists promote the most recently developed parenting approach. Also, governments don't want to miss out on the educational potential and all around the globe, they are currently spending millions of dollars to implement more mindfulness principals in public schools and child care institutions.

When you’re a new parent, the miracle of life might not always feel so miraculous. Maybe your latest 2:00 a.m., 2:45 a.m., and 3:30 a.m. wake-up calls have left you wondering how “sleep like a baby” ever became a figure of speech—and what the options are for restoring your sanity. Or your child just left bite marks on someone, and you’re wondering how to handle it. First-time mom Tracy Cutchlow knows what you’re going through. In Zero to Five: 70 Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science (and What I’ve Learned So Far), she takes dozens of parenting tips based on scientific research and distills them into something you can easily digest during one of your two-minute-long breaks in the day. The pages are beautifully illustrated by award-winning photojournalist Betty Udesen. Combining the warmth of a best friend with a straightforward style, Tracy addresses questions such as: Should I talk to my pregnant belly / newborn? Is that going to feel weird? (Yes, and absolutely.) How do I help baby sleep well? (Start with the 45-minute rule.) How can I instill a love of learning in my child? (By using specific types of praise and criticism.) What will boost my child’s success in school? (Play that requires self-control, like make-believe.) My baby loves videos and cell-phone games. That’s cool, right? (If you play, too.) What tamps down temper tantrums? (Naming emotions out loud.) My sweet baby just hit a playmate / lied to me about un-potting the plant / talked back. Now what? (Choose one of three logical consequences.) How do I get through an entire day of this? (With help. Lots of help.) Who knew babies were so funny? (They are!) Whether you read the book front to back or skip around, Zero to Five will help you make the best of the tantrums (yours and baby’s), moments of pure joy, and other surprises along the totally-worth-it journey of parenting.
