Let me introduce you to my own exploration of my recently discovered identity and through the "who even am I" stage that so commonly presents itself in the wake of the diagnosis reverberations.

Mess is Progress encapsulates all of that and more. Self discovery, revelations and the elusive goal of finally unmasking are all here within.

I'm Here and I'm Listening
Become the parent you want to beImagine knowing exactly how you can help your child feel deeply relaxed, so that they are cooperative and gentle and sleep peacefully.In this compassionate book for parents of 1-8 year olds, you'll understand the attachment-based, trauma-informed, reasons why children: -have tantrums;-hit other children;-get playful before bed;-cry over small things;-suck their thumb; and-do things that we ask them not to do and laugh.This culture often sees children as 'flawed', 'bad, ' or 'inferior'. As an antidote, I'm Here and I'm Listening can help you understand and work with your child's innate wisdom. Listening to their big feelings when they cry and rage, and playing with them in particular ways helps them to heal from trauma and everyday stress. They become calmer and more compassionate, as well as clear-thinking, competent, and confident.In I'm Here and I'm Listening, Dr. Rose describes elements of the Aware Parenting approach, created by Aletha Solter, PhD. Learn how you can also apply this paradigm to your own reparenting, to value your own needs and feelings, and create a more loving inner dialogue. Drop guilt and self-judgment and be compassionate with yourself, especially if you revert to cultural conditioning of rewards or threats, or if you get reactive because painful feelings from your own childhood emerge.In their behaviour and feelings, children are asking us: Will you stay here with me? Will you listen to me? Will you help me know I'm safe to feel my feelings? Do you love me, whatever I feel? This book will help your child know that the answer to each of these questions is a resounding yes!"I am delighted to recommend I'm Here and I'm Listening, which is packed with helpful information for navigating through the early childhood years without the use of punishments or rewards. Parents who are not yet familiar with Aware Parenting will learn compassionate and effective skills for responding to children's uncooperative or aggressive behavior and for resolving everyday conflicts about bedtime, sibling relationships, eating, and screen use. For those who are already familiar with Aware Parenting, this book will deepen their understanding of the approach. Throughout the book, Marion Rose invites her readers to explore the root causes of children's behavior and to question common cultural assumptions. She also encourages parents to delve into their own childhood memories to better understand their reactions to their children's behavior. Perhaps most importantly, this book will help parents feel good about themselves while becoming the kind of parents they want to be." - Aletha Solter, PhD, founder of Aware Parenting"This book offers a clear description of how we can remember who children are by nature, why they behave in ways that are not enjoyable for parents, and how we can support them with each challenge in the most loving and effective way." - Joss Goulden, Level 2 Aware Parenting instructor

The Screen Vaccine
Before you read this book, here are seven things you need to know. 1. Facebook's first president, Sean Parker, is now admitting that Facebook was designed to be addictive and he is worried about what that means for our children's brains. 2. Businesses understand the science of addiction all too well, and our children are unprepared for such full-blown manipulation of their brains. 3. We are not addicted to meth, street drugs, alcohol, porn, computer games, or social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.); we are addicted to our physical reactions to them. These things have been carefully designed to force a strong reaction from our own brain's chemical reward system for money. They aim to addict the helpless, unprepared minds of children. 4. If you want to combat screen addiction, you must first understand the science of addiction in relation to the screen. 5. Using the very science that manipulates an unsuspecting reward system, I have developed a way to bring our children back and to educate them. It shifts the child's addiction from harmful things to family members, allowing them to find their purpose in life, to learn work joyfully, and to have fun. In other words: now we can and will beat these businesses at their own game using their own science. 6. The book is short. The "vaccine" against screen addiction is simple to implement. 7. This book teaches how to vaccinate a child from ages 2-11 against screen addiction. Even with the help of this book, however, parents must be dedicated. There are a myriad of parenting, behavioral, and entitlement issues that can get in the way of your vaccination. Don't let them! A list of these possible issues is provided in the back for your own evaluation.

The Collapse of Parenting
"Dr. Leonard Sax's The Collapse of Parenting should be required reading for all parents."―Dr. Nancy Kehoe, author of Wrestling with Our Inner Angels In The Collapse of Parenting, internationally acclaimed author Leonard Sax argues that rising levels of depression and anxiety among young people can be traced to parents abdicating their authority. The result is children who lack self-control, who look to their peers and to social media for direction. Sax shows how parents can and must reassert their authority--for example by limiting screen time, by prioritizing the family, and by teaching humility and perspective--to renew their relationships with their children. In this new edition, completely revised and updated with new stories, new evidence, and new recommendations, Dr. Sax provides concrete guidance for parents seeking to help their children fulfill their potential in the midst of a toxic culture. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a family physician and psychologist, along with hundreds of interviews with children, parents, and teachers, Sax offers a blueprint parents can use to help their children thrive in an increasingly broken world.
