Book Description
Just as Meredith's first book, The Resourceful Mother's Secrets to Healthy Kids, set a high standard in helping families raise the healthiest child possible physically, this book explains everything a parent needs to know to raise the healthiest child possible emotionally. It all starts with you, the parent, and your own emotional health. Meredith shows how we can come to understand ourselves and our past to ensure a healthier today for us and our children. She clearly explains how our emotional pain manifests itself in our appearance, behaviours and physical health. Most importantly, she teaches us how to heal by parenting ourselves and coming to love all parts of ourselves. With her emotional healing tools, we transform ourselves into the most confident, loving, positive people - and parents - we can be. But The Resourceful Mother doesn't stop there. Her book goes on to explain how to truly understand our children, prevent emotional blocks by teaching them healthy ways to release their negative emotions, speak their truth, set boundaries, avoid taking things personally, live with integrity, become emotionally strong and much more. This book is not just for the parents who want to raise the happiest children possible; it is for all adults who want to parent the way they wish they had been parented. This book is for everyone who wants to learn how to look at life through the lens of their heart. Meredith Deasley, BA, RNCP, RHN, ACC, is an author, speaker, teacher, pediatric nutritionist and life coach. She has been providing natural, easy to understand and implement, time-proven nutritional information to parents for the past fifteen years. After she had two daughters, both with multiple food sensitivities and allergies, she came to understand the power of food. Her first book, The Resourceful Mother's Secrets to Healthy Kids, assists parents in tackling food sensitivities and allergies. Her second book, The Resourceful Mother's Secrets to Emotional Health, assists parents in raising emotionally healthy children. Meredith owns The Resourceful Mother, a company that helps parents heal their children physically and emotionally. She graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, where she now teaches pediatric nutrition, allergies, and body, mind, spirit. She regularly conducts seminars, and her book is the pediatric textbook at the Edison Institute of Nutrition, a worldwide correspondence nutrition program.

Praise for The Resourceful Mother's Secrets to Emotional Health "In this practical book, packed with tips to help you uncover and clear what holds you back, Meredith shares her own life's journey of healing and coming to wholeness. She shows the reader how to reflect on their own lives and turn the spotlight inside to find the truth of what is driving their own games." --Brandon Bays, Internationally Bestselling Author of The Journey and The Journey for Kids and world renowned teacher in the field of mind-body healing. "We had an awesome summer and school has been wonderful; I can't remember the last time I could say that. I got my head in such a better place and I got my son back....I am crying thinking of how much better our lives are now....I owe you the world." --Jen P.

In the confines of a safe, judgment-free space, they share about the heavy guilt they carry from losing control and yelling at their children; the crippling fear that they are failing their families; and the exhaustion of juggling work, home, and family.

Drawing upon her own experiences of raising four children and many years of counseling mothers as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Claire shares practical tips, strategies, and encouragement to help women in all stages of motherhood.

There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501143646
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Bringing Up Bébé meets Last Child in the Woods in this “fascinating exploration of the importance of the outdoors to childhood development” (Kirkus Reviews) from a Swedish-American mother who sets out to discover if the nature-centric parenting philosophy of her native Scandinavia holds the key to healthier, happier lives for her American children. Could the Scandinavian philosophy of “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes” hold the key to happier, healthier lives for American children? When Swedish-born Linda Åkeson McGurk moved to Indiana, she quickly learned that the nature-centric parenting philosophies of her native Scandinavia were not the norm. In Sweden, children play outdoors year-round, regardless of the weather, and letting babies nap outside in freezing temperatures is common and recommended by physicians. Preschoolers spend their days climbing trees, catching frogs, and learning to compost, and environmental education is a key part of the public-school curriculum. In the US, McGurk found the playgrounds deserted, and preschoolers were getting drilled on academics with little time for free play in nature. And when a swimming outing at a nearby creek ended with a fine from a park officer, McGurk realized that the parenting philosophies of her native country and her adopted homeland were worlds apart. Struggling to decide what was best for her family, McGurk embarked on a six-month journey to Sweden with her two daughters to see how their lives would change in a place where spending time in nature is considered essential to a good childhood. Insightful and lively, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather is a fascinating personal narrative that illustrates how Scandinavian culture could hold the key to raising healthy, resilient, and confident children in America.

Mothering Our Boys (US Edition)
Author: Maggie Dent
Publisher: Pennington Publications
ISBN: 0648431010
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
"Maggie is earthy and real, full of love and knowledge, especially on raising sons." - Steve Biddulph "Maggie's perspective on raising boys is spot on. She writes with humor and depth, providing insight and strategies for many of the most important issues facing moms. There is a lovely ease to her writing and a powerful honesty. I hope every mother of a son (and everyone else!) will read this book. The future of the world, to a great extent, depends on how we raise our boys." - Michael Gurian, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wonder of Boys and Saving Our Sons If we can see the world through boys' eyes a little better, we will make different choices in the way we mother them… and we will find them less confusing, and love them more deeply. Mothers of sons are worried about raising their boys in a world where negative images of masculinity are front and centre of our media, almost every day. Not only that, but statistically our boys are still struggling in many ways. Even though we live in a time where we recognise that nothing in gender is fixed, it remains a fact that the influence of a mother on her son is massive. A mother of four sons herself, Maggie Dent draws on her personal experience - and over four decades work as a teacher, counsellor and now author and speaker - to help build understanding, empathy and compassion for our boys. Maggie shares her five key secrets that every mum needs to know and uses the voices of men she has worked with and surveyed to reveal what really matters in a boy's relationship with his mother and other mother figures. Maggie is one of Australia's most popular parenting authors and educators, and her seminars about boys have sold out all across Australia and in the UK. She is finally sharing her insights, her reflections, and (as always) her humour around mothering boys to help you be the mum your son needs you to be.

Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family
Author: Ellyn Satter
Publisher: Kelcy Press
ISBN: 0967118948
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Ellyn Satter's Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family takes a leadership role in the grassroots movement back to the family table. More a cooking primer than a cookbook, this book encourages singles, couples, and families with children to go to the trouble of feeding themselves well. Satter uses simple, delicious recipes as a scaffolding on which to hang cooking lessons, fast tips, night-before suggestions, in-depth background information, ways to involve kids in the kitchen, and guidelines on adapting menus for young children. In chapters about eating, feeding, choosing food, cooking, planning, and shopping, the author entertainingly helps readers have fun with food while not eating unhealthily or too often. She cites current studies and makes a convincing case for lightening up on fat and sodium without endangering ourselves or our children. The book demonstrates Satter's dictum that “your positive feelings about food and eating will do more for your health than adhering to a set of rules about what to eat and what not to eat.”

Pages : 273
Book Description
You already know how to give your children healthy food, but the hard part is getting them to eat it. After years of research and working with parents, Dina Rose discovered a powerful truth: when parents focus solely on nutrition, their kids - surprisingly - eat poorly. But when families shift their emphasis to behaviors - the skills and habits kids are taught - they learn to eat right. Every child can learn to eat well, but only if you show them how to do it. Dr. Rose describes the three habits - proportion, variety, and moderation - all kids need to learn, and gives you clever, practical ways to teach these food skills. With It's Not About The Broccoli you can teach your children how to eat and give them the skills they need for a lifetime of health and vitality.

But when families shift their emphasis to behaviors - the skills and habits kids are taught - they learn to eat right. Every child can learn to eat well, but only if you show them how to do it. Dr. Rose describes the three habits - proportion, variety, and moderation - all kids need to learn, and gives you clever, practical ways to teach these food skills. With It's Not About The Broccoli you can teach your children how to eat and give them the skills they need for a lifetime of health and vitality.
