Join them in the carwash with Elvis blaring out "Hound Dog," spirit people in the attic, and a treacherous sailing trip around Cape Horn.
I Always Wanted To Be A Dad
It's just women who dream of having their own children, right? And if - for whatever reason - it doesn't work out, it's them who suffer the loss. Men just stand on the sidelines letting it all happen. Hang on! Not quite true. Men get broody, too. Millions of men long to be dads and if that doesn't happen, the grief can hit just as hard.

Robert's story is accompanied by a series of remarkable testimonies from other childless men who add their powerful voices to his, creating a sense of belonging and community. At once hard-hitting, humorous and vulnerable, 'I Always Wanted To Be A Dad' shines a much-needed light on men without children. With this invaluable book, Robert ultimately uncovers the hope that is discovered in acceptance, and the realisation that a rich and fulfilling life can still lie in wait.

Does parental monitoring make a difference? Yes. Research shows that teens whose parents use effective monitoring practices are less likely to make poor decisions, such as having sex at an early age, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, being physically aggressive, or skipping school.

Through 25 chapters in the book, the author Seema Gupta shows parents how they can bridge the generation gap with their teenage children with the inclusion of Diary Entries, View Points, Parental Tips and Counsellor's Advice. Parental monitoring includes: 1. The expectations parents have for their teen's behaviour 2. The actions parents take to keep track of their teen; and 3. The ways parents respond when their teen breaks the rules. Parents are also monitoring when they 1. Check in with your teen by phone. 2. Get to know his or her friends and their parents. 3. Talk with your teen about how he or she spends time or whether he or she is making safe choices. Set and enforce rules for your teen's behaviour by clearly explaining the rules and consequences and following through with appropriate consequences when the rules are broken.

A Guide to Philosophy in Six Hours and Fifteen Minutes
The Bible tells us to train up a child in the way he should go; but church once a week isn't enough. As adults, we know how studying the Bible can be a challenge at times, so leaving your child on their own to do devotionals and read The Word may not be practical. However, the Bible tells us that success comes by meditating on The Word day and night...so, how does a parent begin to get The Word written onto their child's heart?This devotional gives parents a God inspired game plan to incorporate the study and application of God's Word in everyday life. By addressing relevant topics with Biblical truth and real life discussions, it creates an open atmosphere of teaching and learning for both the parent and the child.
Nourished
What does it mean to be nourished? Nothing could be more basic than food. However, food is only one part of the concept of nourishment, but it has consumed our focus and eclipsed something far more critical for thriving-connection. We have lost sight of the fact that feeding our families is about human relationship and emotional well-being. In Nourished, developmental and relational clinical counsellor Dr. Deborah MacNamara shows us how feeding is part of the caretaking relationship and cannot be separated from it. Informed by attachment science, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and research on human emotion, Nourished reframes our approach to providing for our kids and helps us hit the reset button on our relationship with food. After reading this seminal work, it will be impossible to ever view food as just plain food again. As parents we need our kids to be receptive to what we offer but the road to the stomach must go through the heart. As relational and emotional creatures, our deepest hunger is one that food by itself cannot fill. In this book, Dr. MacNamara gives us the keys to transform the everyday act of feeding our children (and other loved ones) into a most fulfilling and nourishing dance of attachment. Based on developmental and relational science, qualitative research with families, counselling parents, and her own experience as a mother, in Nourished, MacNamara combines storytelling with science and puts food in its rightful place.

Digitally Enabled Social Change
In their own opinions, they were the Windy City's Elite: beautiful, successful, well-kept by their husbands and parents. For Julene Davis, these were the friends who had been chosen for her, but not the friends she would have chosen for herself.They'd stuck together, however loosely, for most of their lives. They certainly didn't confide in each other the way real friends would, but, thanks to the streets, they still managed to accumulate plenty of scandalous and intimate information about one another-things they would never discuss openly. And there was one thing they all knew about the streets: despite a little misinformation, there was always some truth to every rumor. The streets were reckless in that way. When Julene eventually cracks under the pressures of hiding her family's problems and her own insecurities, while remaining socially acceptable, she vows to leave Chicago and never return. When she learns her parents have stolen her identity and filed for bankruptcy in her name, her plans for independence suddenly become much more complicated.As her world, built on lies and illusion, becomes increasingly unstable, she wrestles with an unsettling question: What will she do when it all falls down?Written with Reed's signature talent for creating complex characters and compelling storylines, this third book in the Trust series is the captivating look at what happens when we must choose between fitting in and standing out.Note to Readers: The books within the Trust Series can be enjoyed in any order.

Alienated
This gripping read will floor readers with a child's view of the hurt parental alienation can cause even into adulthood. But it is Lisa's story of transformation and healing that will give the reader's hope. Parental Alienation will break your heart, but the truth will set you free.-Ginger Gentile, director of the Erasing Family Documentary Lisa Goodpaster's book Alienated When Parents Won't Parent gives the play by play of her alienator's game exposing the secretive strategies she used and gives us a personal glimpse of the effects this type of child abuse has on the innocent bystander child who is used as a pawn to harm the other parent. This book is groundbreaking work from a true trailblazer in the field of conquering parental alienation.-Jennifer Szeghi, The Alienator's Chess Game Podcast Host, Reunification Specialist, Parenting Coordinator, Co-parenting Coach & Owner of Successful Parenting, LLC My parents' divorce and the consequences of not protecting me left me sad, lonely, disappointed and unimportant-like a sacrificial lamb. I rebelled and had to learn to defend and protect myself. I acted it out by getting angry, and I did and said whatever I needed to say and do to keep myself safe. I ignored my needs and protected everyone, and I expected everyone else to handle my emotions. I had over four hundred survival patterns, which turned into long-term survival patterns. When we are operating in a pattern state, we are not living our authentic selves; rather, we are reactive, suppressing, numbing ourselves, and overthinking. This was for me how I imagine it's like for most alienated kids. I was angry and unprotected, and my parents' inability to co-parent and their lack of awareness became the danger that allowed my stepmom to write and do what she did.
Miracle of Effort
Miracle of Effort: Thalia's Autism Journey is the story of Thalia being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when she was two years old and her journey to graduating college and becoming an elementary school teacher. Through Thalia's journey, this book aspires to offer a sense of what children with autism and their families go through. The book takes the reader through the experiences, the emotions, the challenges confronted, the sacrifices demanded, and the decisions that needed to be made at different stages of a child's life. Thalia's family is at the center of this story. There were several critical decisions made by Thalia's parents, Donnie and Lorena. They were confronted with a traumatic reality that required perspective and patience, while fighting through moments of despair and sadness. It was Donnie and Lorena's determination that they would be part of the solution for their daughter that shaped Thalia's journey. It is Donnie's cousin, Lisa, who noticed Thalia's autistic behavior symptoms and delivered her initial learning therapy sessions. Each child that is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum will have a different experience with the disorder. No two situations are the same. The following is Thalia's unique autism journey. Her Miracle of Effort. The book is intended to offer hope to the many families that are confronted with this disability. As Thalia says, "an autism diagnosis does not mean that a child cannot be successful. It just means that he or she will see the world in a different light." Thalia's simple hope is "to inspire autistic individuals to live up to their full potential and provide optimism to families."
