AS SEEN ON BBC'S DON'T EXCLUDE ME. 'Such an important book, by someone who really understands the issues that young people face in today's world.' Dr Zoe WilliamsRight now, it is undeniably a tough time to be a parent. With so many pressures on your time, your energy and your resources, it can be difficult to give your child everything they need emotionally, and even more so when you're faced with defiance, disruption or challenging behaviour. However, in this new book, Marie Gentles draws on decades of expertise supporting families to give you the toolkit you need to be the best parent you can be - and the best bit? The change starts with you. Just as when you're on a plane and are advised to get your own oxygen mask on in an emergency before helping your child, the same applies when it comes to behaviour. So first in Marie's toolbox is the need to take time for yourself: give yourself headspace, allow yourself time to adopt a healthy mindset and be the change you want to see. From establishing positive relationships that bring out the best in your child, to applying the tools you learn as a framework for your wider relationships, whether it be with friends, colleagues, your boss or even your inner child, this book will help you put Marie's FIVE CS into practise when faced with any challenging moment: Communication: behaviour is communicating a need for emotional connection.Calm: this moment is a teaching and learning opportunity.Curious: what feeling is the other person seeking?Connect: how can I meet their emotional needs?Convey: what does my behaviour look like in this moment from the other person's perspective? You don't need to fit into a box with your parenting style, but using Marie's gentle guidance, you'll be equipped to raise a resilient child who in turn has the tools they need to deal with anything life throws at them - whether they are fifteen months or fifteen years, it's never too late to start.

This picture book was written to shine a spotlight on how beautiful it is to have a biracial identity. Often, children who look different get asked unexpected questions about their ancestry. The character in this book, which is filled with colorful illustrations and cheerful rhymes, embraces his identity. He also learns a valuable lesson about who he is and learns how to answer the question, "What are you?" His initial reaction is "What does it matter?"-but he can't stop thinking about the question when he gets home. Then, everything becomes clearer when he has a dream about coffee and cream, which was like an answer to a riddle. This book can be used to spark a conversation about defining and recognizing racial differences. Such a talk may not be easy, but it can help children better understand their biracial heritage. Parents and young people will love reading this book over and over again!

?A breath of much-needed fresh air around a very charged subject.??Christiane Northrup, M.D., OB/GYN physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause?Vernacchio's no-blame, no-shame approach will inspire parents to drop their fears, judgments, and inhibitions in order to help their kids navigate the teen years.??Publishers WeeklyUpdated to reflect societal changes over the past decade, an experienced educator's effective and responsible guide to sex education for parents and teens that promotes healthy knowledge, values, and positive sexuality.When it comes to talking to kids about sex, parents often don't know what to say. But our kids are talking?and seeing and listening and learning?about sex every day. Our kids know more about sex than we think they do. But our kids don't know as much about sex as they think they do.Complicating matters, sexuality education in schools is often locally regulated, leading to medically inaccurate or faith- and abstinence-based curriculums, and in a growing number of states even that meager education is under threat. Enter sexuality educator Al Vernacchio, a teacher for more than thirty years, who has been an advocate of a new category: sex-positive education. In For Goodness Sex, he offers a realistic approach to teaching kids about this basic biological function, with advice and answers that go far beyond just the act itself. After all, Vernacchio argues, without a broader understanding to offset the damaging perceptions of sex that pervade much of our culture, adolescents and teens are unprepared for the complex intellectual and emotional decisions surrounding sex and consent.Thoughtful and expansive, For Goodness Sex offers the tools and information adults and young people need to have important conversations about sexuality and to develop the safe and healthy values that will carry them through the rest of their lives.
