Alternadad:
the True Story of One Family’s Struggle to Raise a Cool Kid in America.
Neal Pollack, $16.95
“Pollack, a self-styled party guy known
mostly for outrageous literary antics, recounts how he and his wife
became responsible parents without sacrificing their passion for
pop culture. From an ill-fated family trip to the Austin City Limits
Festival, to yanking his son out of an absurd corporate gymnastics
class, to dealing with the child’s ongoing biting problem, Pollack
captures the wonders, terrors, and idiocies of parenting today.
Alternadad is both an engaging and amusing memoir of fatherhood,
and a fascinating portrait of a new version of the American family.”

Roots
of Empathy: Changing the World Child by Child. Mary Gordon,
$19.95
With violence, anti-social behaviour,
bullying, and aggression among young children escalating at
a frightening rate, it is clear that we need to develop a
new understanding of childhood. Mary Gordon, an educator who
has worked for more than two decades with children from all
kinds of backgrounds, has discovered that the solution to
bullying and other anti-social behaviour lies within each
child's innate sense of caring and compassion. She believes
that infusing children with empathy constitutes nothing less
than a new paradigm in our approach to child-raising.
Through the Roots of Empathy,
her highly successful organization, Mary Gordon creates a
rich, rewarding classroom experience that fosters empathy
within children. The program brings babies and students together
in a symbiotic loving environment that has been proven to
reduce aggression and increase tolerance and emotional understanding
in children. Currently, the Roots of Empathy has more
than 1,100 programs in Canada and is reaching more than 28,000
students in eight Canadian provinces. It is also piloted for
programs in Japan and Australia.
In Roots of Empathy: Changing
the World Child by Child, the innovative and inspired
book based on her groundbreaking research and successful classroom
program, Mary Gordon shares her vision of a nation of compassionate
and caring children who will pass on their legacy of empathy
to their own children.
All of the royalties from this

Solve
Your Child's Sleep Problems. Revised and Expanded Edition, 2006.
Richard Ferber, $17.99
In the first major revision of his bestselling
classic since it was published in 1985; Dr. Richard Ferber addresses
what he felt were widespread misconceptions regarding his methods
and their applications. This revised edition describes both the
problems and their resolution with greater clarity and insight.
The second reason for the new edition
was to answer parents’ questions on topics that were inadequately
discussed previously including co-sleeping, twins, naps, and travel
to different time zones. Of particular interest is Ferber’s acknowledgement
that families want and need more information on co-sleeping and
he offers new approaches for resolving sleep problems in bed-sharing
families.
Finally, the new Solve Your Child’s
Sleep Problems incorporates new research, including important
basic information that all parents should know regarding the nature
of sleep and the development of normal sleep and body rhythms throughout
childhood. He discusses the causes of most sleep problems from birth
to adolescence and recommends an array of proven solutions for each
so that parents can choose the strategy that works best for them.
Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems
offers advice and concrete help for a whole new generation of anxious,
frustrated, and overtired parents. |
