Summary : A much-needed guide that delivers essential baby and child-care advice while reminding parents to calm down and trust themselves. Parents are more overwhelmed than ever before -- juggling demands on their time as well as conflicting advice from family, friends, frenemies and "experts" on how to achieve parental perfection. Pediatrician Jane Scott has seen this parental anxiety up close, and in The Confident Parent she shares advice on how to cut through the confusion, dial down the insecurities and unhelpful advice, and simply do what countless parents around the world have done throughout history: respond to their little one's needs without overthinking, overstimulating, and overparenting. Informed by a unique global perspective, The Confident Parent shows readers how to be not just better caregivers but happier and more balanced human beings. The book covers the basics of baby and child-care from breastfeeding and sleep training to managing temper tantrums, offering a fresh perspective that’s both commonsense and liberating. Takeaways include: * Children are strong and resilient--unless parents teach them not to be. * Picky eating is learned, not innate. * There is such a thing as being too careful. This upbeat and empowering guide shows how small changes can yield big results -- helping both parents and kids feel more secure, confident, and connected.

Summary : Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

Summary : 'We may be the most child-sensitive generation of parents the world has ever known - and the most confused and insecure.'' - William Doherty. According to Dr William Doherty, one of the leading US family therapists, there are a number of forces outside the family that make it harder to be an effective parent today. In Confident Parenting, he considers the effects of the advertising industry, television programming, other parents who are permissive, other parents who compete over their children's achievements, and other providers of children's activities such as sports coaches. However, according to Dr Doherty, it doesn't have to be so hard. In his experience, many parents today lack confidence in their roles and are unsure where to draw the line with children's behaviour. A combination of unclear, ill-defined values in many families and parents' fears of being unpopular with their own children can add up to weak and ineffective parenting. This can force children to seek their values and identities elsewhere - usually in their peer culture and the consumer culture. According to Dr Doherty, there is a definite tendency amongst contemporary parents to be afraid to set limits, to tolerate disrespect, and to see themselves as entertainment directors for their children. Dr William Doherty discusses many topics of central relevance to parenting, including: Being a confident parent in an insecure world; Expecting respect; Expecting participation in family life; Why anger-free parenting does not work; Building the village: family responsibilities to school and community; Unplugging your kids: media and child rearing; Resisting the peer cultures of children and parents. In Confident Parenting, he offers clear advice on particular issues that arise for two-parent families, fathers, single-parent families and stepfamilies, and shows how we can all be more secure and better parents to our children.
