And, have you ever looked for answers, help, solutions or do you feel overwhelmed? This book gives an insight into the actual situation in the field through conversations and courses with 40,000 children, young people and adults. Noticeably young children, children and adolescents today are very quickly victims of the digital world, PHYSICAL & MENTAL. A high percentage of girls are also victims of digital violence. The book pleads for a risk-based holistic cyber security strategy and shows a possible approach. For parents, grandparents, teachers and policy makers, the book shows simple solutions to grow up healthy in a digital world and to promote competences properly.
Legends of the Twins Cirpaci
In 2001, the author and her husband traveled to Romania to adopt their two-year old son. Upon arrival, they received the shocking news that he had a twin sister with special needs living at the same orphanage. Legends of the Twins Cirpaci describes their frantic three-year effort to adopt her and reunite her with her brother, all in the midst of Romania's moratorium on intercountry adoption as the country attempted to join the European Union. The book also recounts the deleterious impact of Romania's harsh orphanage system on the children's development in various areas of their lives, and their courage in overcoming these challenges. Compelling and poignant, this is a story that every parent (not just adoptive parent) could benefit from reading. Unlike many adoption books, it also includes the twins' perspectives on what happened to them. As such, older adopted children might also find it helpful. Both biography and parenting narrative, it describes a nearly unbelievable (but it really did happen!) situation in a relatable way. Filled with humor and heart, Legends of the Twins Cirpaci is ultimately a triumph of the extraordinary power of care, the capacity of human beings to overcome severe deprivation, and the beauty of the human spirit. Legends of the Twins Cirpaci is a heart-warming and sometimes heart-wrenching tale of a journey of love, determination, patience, and humor. Reading it is a reminder of all that family can be in its best incarnation, and that belonging does not depend on biology. A wonderful, funny read.Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America; author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family

She spills the truth about everything from breastfeeding to getting along with your partner post-baby." -- Parents MagazineThere comes a time in every new mother's life when she realizes that all the pregnancy well-wishes and baby shower gifts left her profoundly unqualified for the realities of life with a newborn.

To Keep Him Safe
To Keep Him Safe is a moving narrative about overcoming adversity and finding a place of healing for Lillian Hawke, the loving mother of a son who develops mental illness. Her husband, Mitchell, a contractor by trade, wrestles with self-doubt when he sees behaviors in his son that remind him of his troubled brother and lead him to fear the worst outcome. Their son, Danny, is a carefree child until about the age of three or four, when he begins to become more and more socially awkward, withdrawn, and antisocial, although high functioning. Sarah, their youngest child, is a light in the family dynamics, in part because of her close bond with Danny and her calming influence in his life. Gayle Parish, the author and a professional counselor by training, conveys the doubts, frustrations, chaos, self-discovery, and fear that come with a severe mental health diagnosis and the havoc it wrecks in a young family's life over many decades. The main character, Lillian, grapples with her doubts and emotional pain as she and her family learn to cope with a special needs child. Danny's diagnosis leads her to a career in counseling, which enables her to help others, and perhaps most importantly, to find her way through a myriad of personal and family challenges. Though life is not easy for Lillian's family, their deep love for each other supports them through situations that would tear many families apart. The family's journey includes not only dark days but also days filled with light, as when Danny, an artistic savant, communicates in the best way he can - through his art. The author quietly conveys the heartbreaking desperation of a family coping with mental illness. She shows how every character is affected in a different and unique way. Lillian walks a tightrope in her journey of personal growth, where she maintains a sense of normalcy for her younger daughter, her husband, and her job, while diligently working to keep her son safe. A beautifully and touchingly told story.

Death by Teenager
I've learnt that when I come home from work and my daughter has tidied up her bedroom, swept the back veranda free of cigarette butts, cooked dinner and tells me, after pouring me a glass of wine, 'that's the good news - now here s the bad' that it probably involves body piercing. If I'm lucky Sonia Neale has had enough, her sons are crusty, smelly and permanently hooked to the tV, her daughter has so many piercing she sets off theft-detectors in stores, and as for Sonia herself, well, there's only one thing she wants more than chardonnay and steamy sex with Keanu Reeves: chardonnay and a bit of peace and quiet! But with a house full of teenagers, what are her chances? Funny stories from the lives of an average family as a mother recounts of the delights and horrors (mainly horrors) of parenting three teenagers.
