Product Information

A year or two later, as your child’s age reaches double digits, things change again as puberty really starts to kick in, with all the emotional and physical issues that accompany it. Not only did they take on remote school supervision, but after the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing Black Lives Matter protests, many also grappled with the responsibility to teach their kids about social justice — with few resources to guide them. Explicitly states that having a c-section is bad, not breastfeeding means you aren't doing best for your baby, you shouldn't send your child to childcare and by 'sleep training' in any form is tantamount to abuse. This new audiobook from Sarah Ockwell-Smith, founder of BabyCalm, will be an indispensable guide for parents, whatever challenges they are facing with their child's sleep - from the day they bring their newborn home until their child is settled in at school. So not getting cross with a child for emptying kitchen cupboards but locking them but that’s more common sense than anything else.

Instead, parents are shown how to replace their own accommodating behaviors with supportive responses that demonstrate both acceptance of children's difficulties and confidence in their ability to cope.

We need to understand our own tween (8-13) history, our own parents style (authoritarian or authoritative) , our automatic reactions based on learned behaviour and figure out what we would like to change about our tween years, before we start parenting our own tweens. Parenting at night is as important as parenting during daylight hours, and yet when our children wake up at night we often label this a sleep 'problem'. Proud sleep trainer here and I'm seeing the results now many years later with happy well-adjusted kids doing well at school.

With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. Chapter 12 is all about financial literacy, which I believe it is vitally important; yet it’s something that is just not discussed with tweens in our society. Packed with practical, evidence-based advice, it is the indispensable guide to raising a girl who is happy and confident in herself.Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Covering a range of ages from toddler to teen the book will help parents to understand how the minds of children work and what makes them tick at each stage, helping parents to adopt a style of managing their child’s behaviour that will see them through many years to come.

This invaluable guide will help you through the challenging early days, helping to ensure happier parents and calmer babies, by bestselling parenting author Sarah Ockwell-Smith. There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls' mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years. In fact, many of today’s sleep ‘problems’ with young babies and children predominantly occur in the developed world. I read this as the parent of a 12 year old girl and 7 (nearly 8) year old boy who has already read a lot of books and articles about parenting. In Chapter 9, we focus on raising tweens who will advocate for others, and how to cultivate in them an empathy for the world around them and a willingness change the world that they live in for the better (rather than changing them to fit into our cur – rent world).The middle years of childhood tend to be overlooked entirely, with a black hole of information until the teenage years – thirteen plus, the last years of childhood.
