Title: Gulp, Swallow: Essays on Change Author: Brooke Boland Narrator: Candice Moll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Parenting Tips Publisher's Summary: Memoiric essays on who we were and how we have changed What happens when who you are is different to who you imagined you'd be? When her son was three, Brooke Boland was diagnosed with depression. She went back to find where it all started – the panic attacks, the dissociation – in the early days of motherhood. When she found it difficult to read or write. In this wide-ranging collection of essays Boland moves on from the person she was and writes to understand who she is now. She swims with sharks, falls in love with a rabbit, and watches her father fight for his life. She is a newcomer in a small regional town and a mother, but what else? She writes about family and friends, life and mortality, memory and forgetting, and along the way she finds her voice again. This book is for anyone who has felt unmoored. It is about the unremarkable in-between, the way we try to build a home from nothing, the dirty dishes and the loads of washing. The uncertainty and the love. But written in sparkling prose with a sly and wry tone that is illuminating about the everyday as it pitches for a rich and fulfilled life.

Title: Parenting with Temperament in Mind: Navigating the Challenges and Celebrating Your Child’s Strengths (APA LifeTools Series) Author: Liliana J. Lengua PhD, Maria Amy Gartstein PhD Narrator: Susan Bennett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 43 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Parenting Tips Publisher's Summary: This book will help parents understand and work more effectively with their young child’s temperament.Effective parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every child comes with an innate temperament, which includes a unique set of emotional reactions and personal strengths, a motivational style, and needs that demand attention. And every family has its own values and culture. While we cannot change our child’s natural temperament (nor would we want to!), we can impact their self-regulation systems, nurture their positive behaviors, and promote healthy social and emotional development. In this book, psychologists Liliana Lengua and Maria Gartstein offer readers science-based recommendations for parenting based on the individual temperament of your child and the specific needs of your family.To help readers understand the innate nature of temperaments, the book begins with a brief, accessible overview of the neurobiological systems that underlie temperament. Combining this scientific understanding of temperaments with the latest psychological theories and research, as well as the authors’ own experience as clinicians and mothers, the authors present four broad parenting principles and then show how to apply these principles with young children of different temperaments. In particular, they focus on a handful of temperament characteristics that, when very strong, can present challenges related to children’s social, emotional, and behavioral development and well-being. These include being fearful, impulsive, inflexible, and easily frustrated.With its simple practical advice, relatable examples, and questionnaires to help you assess your child’s temperament and your own parenting practices, this book gives you the tools you need to parent more effectively and strengthen your relationship with your child.'The authors of this book successfully merge together their expertise as researchers, clinicians, and, as importantly, as parents. The result is a book that makes the scientific foundation of children's temperament accessible to parents and provides numerous practical strategies for parenting children with challenging temperaments.'—Sandee McClowry, PhD, University of California, San Francisco, United States; RN, FAAN; developer of NEW INSIGHTS Into Children's TemperamentThis audiobook includes a supplemental PDF.

Shefali Tsabary Narrator: Karin Zavala Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 37 minutes Release date: October 17, 2024 Genres: Parenting Tips Publisher's Summary: Ha llegado el momento de que la crianza de los hijos se ocupe de lo que debería haberse ocupado siempre: de los padres. Una visión diferente e innovadora de la doctora Shefali Tsabary para la crianza de los hijos. La doctora Shefali Tsabary explica que nuestros hijos solo pueden convertirse en adultos conscientes si nosotros, como padres, procuramos elevarnos a un estado superior de consciencia. Cambiando por completo la idea tradicional de crianza de los hijos, la doctora Tsabary aleja el epicentro de la clásica relación padres-hijos basada en que los primeros «lo saben todo» y lo lleva a una relación mutua en la que los padres también aprenden de los hijos. Este innovador estilo parental reconoce la capacidad de los hijos para provocar una profunda búsqueda interior, lo que origina una transformación en los padres: en vez de ser simples receptores del legado psicológico y espiritual de sus progenitores, los hijos obran como «facilitadores» de su desarrollo. Ahora el centro de atención reside en la afinidad recíproca y la asociación espiritual del viaje padres-hijos. En el enfoque de la doctora Tsabary sobre el estilo parental, los hijos funcionan como espejos del «yo olvidado» de los padres. Tan pronto como recuperan su esencia, los padres entran en comunión con sus hijos. Los unos y otros descubren su capacidad para relacionarse en un estado de presencia. Reseñas: «Padres conscientes es una estupenda aportación a las investigaciones sobre lo que significa criar bien a los hijos. Es esencial unir cuerpo, mente y espíritu en un nuevo paradigma parental, y Padres conscientes nos ayuda a conseguirlo». Marianne Williamson, autora de Volver al amor y Age of Miracles «Este es el libro que todos los padres deben leer para criar hijos responsables y equilibrados. La sorpresa acaso sea que, para lograr esto, el trabajo en cuestión deberás hacerlo tú. Afronta cada verdad de este maravilloso libro y disfruta de tu viaje parental». Laura Berman Fortgang, autora de The Little Book on Meaning y The Prosperity Plan

As the missing pieces of the family puzzle gradually fall into place this brave woman's search for the truth is vindicated. Decades of mental health challenges, from amnesia to acquired dyslexia to self-limiting thoughts are ultimately overcome, and an irrepressible spirit released.
