The Honesty Quest
In "The Honesty Quest," young Daniel navigates the tricky terrain of truth-telling, a journey that begins with a seemingly harmless lie to avoid trouble. Author Simon Jameson masterfully explores the seductive nature of falsehoods - how they offer an easy escape from consequences - while simultaneously illuminating why integrity, though sometimes difficult, is invaluable. Through three relatable vignettes that mirror real-life dilemmas children face, the story doesn't just preach honesty; it shows its practical benefits and the sometimes-surprising outcomes of choosing truth. The narrative strikes a perfect balance, acknowledging why lying tempts us while reinforcing that honesty builds trust and self-respect. Stephanie Kiameh's editing ensures the language remains accessible without sacrificing depth, making complex moral concepts digestible for young minds. The collaboration between Jameson's thoughtful prose and Priyanka's warm, engaging illustrations creates an inviting visual narrative where Daniel's expressions and body language tell their own story about the weight of deception versus the lightness of truth. This thoughtful approach results in a book that doesn't talk down to children but instead respects their capacity to grapple with ethical questions, making it an invaluable resource for parents seeking to nurture honesty in their children without resorting to heavy-handed moralizing.

Do you feel like no matter what you try, the parenting books, the YouTube videos, the apps, your kids still seem dangerously unprepared for the real world out there?

Parenting The RAD Teen
The parenting book nobody wanted to need. If you are raising a teenager with Reactive Attachment Disorder or significant attachment disruption, you already know that the standard advice does not work. The sticker charts failed. The consequence systems made things worse. The therapist who sees a charming, cooperative teen in the office has never witnessed the three-hour rage that started because you asked about homework. Your friends stopped calling. Your family thinks you are exaggerating. And you are running on fumes, wondering if anything you do will ever be enough. This book was written for that moment. Parenting the Armored Teen is the first book to focus exclusively on Reactive Attachment Disorder in adolescence, the developmental stage where early attachment trauma collides with puberty, peer pressure, and approaching legal adulthood to create a family crisis unlike anything the parenting manuals prepared you for. Written by a registered mental health practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience, this book combines attachment science, polyvagal theory, and real-world strategies into a guide that meets you where you actually are: exhausted, scared, and looking for something that works. Inside, you will find: Practical, day-by-day strategies for building trust with a teen whose brain was wired to resist it. The PACE framework (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) adapted specifically for adolescents. Scripts for de-escalation, school advocacy, and communication that actually reaches an armored heart. A clear decision framework for residential treatment. Honest guidance on medication, CPS investigations, and working with professionals who do not understand your child. Tools for protecting your marriage, supporting your other children, and recovering from the caregiver trauma that nobody talks about. What makes this book different? This is not a book of gentle platitudes. It is a direct, honest, clinically grounded guide that acknowledges the terror of parenting a RAD teen without minimizing it or pretending there are easy answers. It includes fillable safety plans, therapist vetting checklists, IEP accommodation templates, medication tracking logs, and documentation systems designed to protect your family. Every chapter opens with a real composite story, teaches practical principles, and ends with action steps you can try today. For adoptive parents, foster parents, kinship caregivers, and biological families where early trauma is now manifesting as adolescent crisis. Also a valuable resource for therapists, social workers, and educators who work with attachment-disrupted teens and the families who love them. Your teen built their armor before they knew you. This book helps you reach the person underneath.
