How do we provide discipline that is effective but not overly harsh? How do we teach our kids to be resilient and manage their feelings when we have trouble managing our own? Drawing on their extensive knowledge of ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and PACEs (protective childhood experiences), psychologists Morris and Hays Grudo describe a balanced parenting approach to help parents manage these tricky balancing acts with confidence.

This book masterfully blends what you must know, what you need to know, and what you should know, all the while gently walking you down the path towards a more neuro-affirming and inclusive approach to home and school life.

In Is the Swing High or Low? author Wilma Cotten reveals the struggles she had with her bipolar daughter Andrea, who succumbed to the evils of drugs as a method of self-care.

So she did what any mother would do—she loved her unconditionally anyway.

Even in the hardest times, strength from God rises from deep in our soul to keep us going. In this honest, inspirational, and humorous book, Katie Schnack goes deep into the hard stuff of life with no sugar coating or toxic positivity to find sustenance she could not imagine. Faced with a child's medical challenges in the midst of a global pandemic, having strength to get up in the morning and actually enjoy the day was so unlikely that she knew it had to come from God. Schnack's plucky authenticity shows us how when life is complicated, self-compassion and humor can bring healing and life.

Sono introspettivi, abili osservatori e tendono a essere più facilmente sovraccaricati dagli stimoli intensi; hanno spesso forti reazioni emotive e momenti di chiusura.

Divided into three parts, the book first provides an overview of the issues involved in diagnosing and treating children.

Raising empathetic and unselfish young people in today’s “all about me” world might seem impossible, but parents can take meaningful action to protect children from these harmful influences.

By now, football's concussion crisis is well known: every year brings headlines of our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that several kid players across the continent drop dead every year before a single ball is snapped—just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches?

Gli adulti stanno iniziando a meditare e a vivere la loro vita quotidiana in modo più consapevole e ad essere più attenti a se stessi, al proprio corpo e al prossimo. Questo è positivo. Ma la mindfulness può anche essere uno stile di vita significativo per i bambini e portare loro molti effetti positivi.

Mythos Talent - wie wir es schaffen, unser Potential wirklich zu entfalten. Schon in der Schule werden wir in Schubladen gesteckt: Mit Glück ist man Mathe-Ass, Sprach-Genie oder Künstlerin. Wenn nichts davon zutrifft, hat man einfach kein Talent. Jo Boaler, Professorin an der Stanford-Universität und renommierte Lernforscherin, räumt mit diesem Mythos auf und stellt unsere bisherige Vorstellung von Begabung radikal auf den Kopf.

Mindfulness is currently on everyone's lips, and many people are undergoing a shift away from fast-paced life toward deceleration and awareness. Adults are beginning to meditate and to experience their everyday lives more consciously and to be more mindful of themselves, their bodies and their fellow human beings. That's good. But mindfulness can also be a meaningful lifestyle for children and bring many positive effects for them. In this book, you will therefore first learn some general information about mindfulness, what it means, where it comes from and what inner attitude is helpful for it.

ADHS - die immer noch unverstandene Krankheit bedeutet für unzählige Menschen ein Leben in Unruhe und Zerrissenheit. Dass bei der Aufmerksamkeitsdefizitstörung eine Beeinträchtigung der Neurophysiologie besteht, ist auch für den Mediziner Dr. Gabor Maté unbestritten. Bei der Ursachenforschung bricht er jedoch mit der bisher gängigen These von der genetischen Veranlagung und legt stattdessen dar, wie Erfahrungen aus der Kindheit sich auf das menschliche Gehirn auswirken. Seine Botschaft an Eltern, Therapeuten, Lehrer und Betroffene: Heilung ist möglich! Sein Rezept: Mehr Einfühlsamkeit und Fürsorge!

La atención plena está actualmente en boca de todos y muchas personas están experimentando un cambio que las aleja de la vida acelerada y las acerca a la desaceleración y la conciencia.

Pero la atención plena también puede ser un estilo de vida significativo para los niños y tener muchos efectos positivos para ellos.
