Positive Parenting Connection and Setting Limits. Teach Children Responsibility, Problem-Solving, and Cooperation.
Welcome to the world of positive parenting! As a parent, you have the important and rewarding job of guiding and nurturing your child's development. One of the key aspects of positive parenting is setting limits, which can be challenging, especially if you're not sure where to start. In this book, we'll explore the importance of setting limits in parenting, and we'll offer PRACTICAL TIPS AND STRATEGIES for setting and enforcing limits in a CALM, POSITIVE AND EFFECTIVE WAY. When parents are unable to set and enforce limits consistently, children may lose respect for their parents and may develop patterns of misbehaving without facing consequences. This can lead to increased insecurity and can have negative impacts on children's relationships with their parents and others. Punishment, lecturing, nagging, scolding, blaming, or shaming can create negative emotions and may lead to behaviors such as fighting, fleeing, or freezing. Instead of focusing on punishment or correction, it can be more effective to first focus on creating a positive connection with children and building trust. The renowned expert on education and parenting, Alfie Kohn says: "What best prepares children to deal with the challenges of the real world is, to feel supported and respected, to receive loving guidance and the chance to have some say about what happens to them." Using positive discipline techniques can be helpful in setting boundaries and expectations while MAINTAINING A POSITIVE CONNECTION with children. In this book you will DISCOVER keys in relation to: - Effective limits for structure and guidance- Nurturing learning and development- Maintaining a strong parental connection- Encouraging independence and self reflecting- Teaching responsibility and problem solving- Positive parenting principles for happier, healthier lives Take the first step to positive parenting, setting limits, and true connection with your children.

Five Fundamental Forces
"The fundamental forces in our lives might include parents, siblings, husbands and wives, lovers, the rain and the sun. As Guns & Roses once sang every rose has its thorn. In this stunning new book, Pattie Palmer-Baker delves deep into these forces with a narrative and lyric force of her own. The poems here are generous, vulnerable, grown-up, and a joy to read. Palmer-Baker is a poet of witness, and this book is a balm for any prick of a thorn you may have suffered in your life."-Matthew Dickman, author of Husbandry"There's something elemental about this collection and its concerns woven through with the colors of mountains and motels. Here's a reckoning with the past told in sparkling imagery, always heartfelt yet never sentimental, 'My husband writes me love notes/on the shells of hardboiled eggs.' Pattie Palmer-Baker plays with space, reflecting the ways in which memory can be fractured and re-made on the page so as to create an alchemy which makes this collection one that remains in the mind long after the first reading."-Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, author of Banjo

Forbidden Fruit
Everyone desires to beloved. The more I aged the greater that desire burned in me. I didn't want to end up an old maid. I met a gentleman I thought was God sent.

Putting Burdens on Broken Shoulders
Conservative Christian views on marriage and divorce are often presented as bulwarks against the tragedy of marital breakdown. Yet the advice given to divorced Christians and those facing the disintegration of their relationships is often irresponsible and damaging. Women fleeing domestic violence are told they are bound to their abusers by indissoluble spiritual bonds. Some are sent back to face further violence. Children are exposed to further abuse. People are condemned to lives of unnecessary loneliness and second marriages are undermined. A pall is cast over many lives. Why? Why should vulnerable people be given advice that is so damaging? Those who protest are told that this is what the Bible teaches. But does it? This book critically examines the relevant texts, revealing fundamental errors due to theological misconceptions and difficulties of understanding nuances of the original languages and the contexts in which crucial words were spoken. Properly understood, the relevant biblical passages do not lock people into intolerable situations. Christians are called to be faithful in their marital relationships, but not to pretend that former marriages still exist or refuse to recognize subsequent ones. And we are called to embrace, not condemn, the brokenhearted.

The Last Christmas Letter
This book started out to be just a culmination of the original 30 Christmas Letters and the stories surrounding them, but in the end turned into much more encompassing story of our family and unfortunately my somewhat questionable life decisions and ongoing issues. Nothing to worry about here, as I am and always have been a law abiding, people loving, hardworking, person, but sometimes my way of doing things has left many wondering just what the heck I was thinking. As for the book, I think it is something that you will enjoy reading, as it probably more attune to your own life's stories than you'll probably want to admit.(Even when I die my picture will be somewhere in the back pages but with my luck it will probably be the one taken that night at the Lewiston Boy's Club and the headline won't be "Loving Father and Husband Passes", It will read, "Keith Embarrasses Mother"So, the next day I show up to grade school with one front tooth missing and my wrist all taped up and the teacher probably wondering what kind of torture I was being put through. But in actuality, she probably had taught all three of my older brothers and just figured I was just learning to be one of them. You just gotta love my family! Another thing I have learned is that Sharon and I don't shop the same. I shop like this. Look, like, buy, use! Sharon shops like this. Look... look... like....look... look....look.... like... look... like... look... look... look... really like... buy................... return! Well, I finally went home and the first night back Sharon fell off her crutches, dislocated one finger and broke another. (Boy you'd think that with those crutches she'd been able to hop right over that deer lying on the floor.) ((Maybe there is something to "me making things worse".))
Separation with Heart
The separation from your partner, possibly from the father of your children, is an enormously drastic phase in your life. In addition to all the emotions you have to endure and deal with, however, it is also important to handle all the legal and administrative aspects in a businesslike manner. The goal must be to find an acceptable solution for everyone as quickly as possible. For both partners and the children, things need to get back on track after the separation! I have written down what I consider to be the most important points for you in my book. Always with the goal of a 'good separation' in view - a separation with heart, that is. We as a family have managed - with a lot of patience, and by keeping these important points in mind - to solve this task in the best possible way. I am proud of all of us. And I know today that it is possible, regardless of the history that led to the separation, to make this new start, strengthened and enriched by all we have been through.

The Subjection of Women
The anxiety of mankind to interfere in behalf of nature, for fear lest nature should not succeed in effecting its purpose, is an altogether unnecessary solicitude. What women by nature can't do, it is quite superfluous to forbid them from doing. John Stuart Mill attacks the argument that women are naturally worse at some things than men and should, therefore, be discouraged or forbidden from doing them. He says that we simply don't know what women are capable of, because we have never let them try - nobody can't make an authoritative statement without evidence. We can't stop women from trying things because they might not be able to do them. He also points out that while there may be physical differences between men and women, there is no evidence that they differ substantially in mental or moral capabilities. He regards gender inequality as part of an older social system in which matters were decided by use of force and makes a strong argument that modern society should operate on the basis of reason rather than force. In sum, Mill's The Subjection of Women is perhaps the finest essay of social and political philosophy produced in the modern era, and should be read by all interested in social justice, feminism, or ethics.
Edward And The Ladybird
The book is about an unlikely friendship between a house cat and a ladybird, both of which suffer with loneliness.

Prince Charming is Dead...or in Rehab! A Guide to Dating in the Real World
Janice shows her readers how to stay in the driver's seat and not just be along for the ride. This no-nonsense book is divided into three easy-to-read sections that her reader can use at the appropriate stages of her dating life.Section I is "Dating Bootcamp." Here, Janice reveals that the secret of successful dating is to first know yourself. Before you go on a single date, you've got to "clean out your closet," which means eliminating the old, ineffective dating skills and do emotional housekeeping from past failed relationships. This is important because doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result is not only insanity but exhausting and discouraging.Section II is "The Dating Game." Now you're ready to take action: pick up the phone, get in the car, and meet the man-or men-who say they find you attractive. This section is divided into two phases: 1. The Marketing Phase. This should last one to six months. Janice cleverly explains that at the beginning of any new relationship, each person markets themselves to the other. Honest marketing of yourself must not be deceptive; it's just that you'll show your potential squeeze the best parts of yourself. She cautions against the warning signs that keep you from visiting Heartbreak Hotel in the town that never sleeps.2. The Comfort Zone. This lasts four to nine months. At this point in the game, you've been dating the same guy and you haven't seen anything that turns your stomach into a knot. The two of you have probably been having sex and you are beginning to think there is a real possibility that this may be your future husband. You have spent enough time with him that your worries and insecurities have subsided, and you are relatively comfortable that he is actually who he has appeared to be. But there could be storm clouds. Men commonly have sexual anxiety, as in, "Am I going to be stuck having sex with just this one woman for the rest of my life?" He may have an uncontrollable urge to run from your relationship, thus becoming a "dance away lover." Janice digs deep and explores topics including the four types of intimacy-intellectual, physical, sexual, and emotional-as well as how to implement a healthy boundary system to keep from becoming too enmeshed with your new flame. She also unflinchingly discusses abuse in all its forms, and how to spot the warning signs and take action.Section III is "I Think This Is My 'Boo.'" Now things are getting serious! At this point in your dating journey, you're probably visualizing how your life could look being married to the guy you've been dating for the last year. Janice guides you through this perilous phase, especially if the man seems noncommittal. She encourages the reader to ask herself some honest questions: "What is it about this relationship that makes me feel so happy? How does this fit into my value system? Do I feel confident with this person? Is he honest and trustworthy? Does this relationship encourage a broad or narrow outlook on life, friendships, values, or interest?" and much more.Personal finance becomes an issue, too. Janice advises that before you get married, you each have full disclosure financially-income, savings, investments, debt, even the past five years of income tax returns. Each person needs to be fully aware of where their partner is financially.Conflict resolution becomes important. When two people spend a lot of time together, it is inevitable that there will be an occasional disagreement or argument. Janice tackles this thorny issue and provides down-to-earth tools and techniques for easing through the rough patches.
