The Politically Incorrect Guide to Teenagers by Nigel Latta Pdf

By popular demand, New Zealand's most popular parenting writer has drawn on his extensive experience in family therapy and working with the country's most difficult teenagers to write the book that will save the sanity of parents everywhere. Once you've negotiated the terrors of toddlerdom and the perils of primary school you think you've got a pretty good handle on this parenting thing - then along comes Mother Nature with her horrible hormones and suddenly you're so far behind square one you're starting to wonder if this raging bundle of contradictions screaming at you was switched in the night by evil aliens. With his now trademark humour and pragmatic common sense approach, Nigel debunks the politically correct nightmare of perfect parenting and argues for sanity first - yours - and reclaiming the ground parents have lost in the great 'I'm my child's best friend' debacle. With international sales of BEFORE YOUR KIDS DRIVE YOU CRAZY, READ tHIS! in Israel, Portugal, Spain, Holland, Italy and Russia, a major marketing campaign for an Australian edition next year, and a television series based on the first book in the pipeline, Nigel Latta is building a solid reputation in this challenging field.

Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach Pdf

The #1 New York Times Bestseller: “A hilarious take on that age-old problem: getting the beloved child to go to sleep” (NPR). “Hell no, you can’t go to the bathroom. You know where you can go? The f**k to sleep.” Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, it captures the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. Read by a host of celebrities, from Samuel L. Jackson to Jennifer Garner, this subversively funny bestselling storybook will not actually put your kids to sleep, but it will leave you laughing so hard you won’t care.

Don’t Be a Pusi by Elizabeth Jordan Pdf

Don’t be a Pusi combines humor, singsong poetic rhyme, and strict values that give voice to some traditional methods of parenting that have been lost. It’s nice to be friends with your child, but it’s more important to be a responsible model and inspiration, showing kids how to be strong adults when they grow up. Parents want to be “cool,” but more importantly, they should teach children to be respectful instead of rude. From the cradle to college, kids have the chance to learn from their elders, and learn they must to be successful in the world. Good life habits are formed at an early age, so parents should teach kids right from the moment they’re born, and children should pay attention to the lessons being taught. Someday, children will become parents and have kids of their own. By enforcing strict values, both parents and children alike can work together toward a happy family and a happy life. AUTHOR BIO Elizabeth Jordan has been married for thirty years and is a mother of five. She is also a visual artist who teaches art to both neurotypical and neurodiverse students of all ages. Going back to graduate school at forty-seven, she earned two master’s degrees—one in fine art and the second in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
