Beyond Survival: Thriving in Your First Years of Teaching (Volume 1) Feature

Overwhelming demands are accepted as a rite of passage for teachers, but are leading to high rates of burn-out. What if we no longer have to accept the idea that the first few years of teaching are all about survival, about keeping your head afloat? What if instead, we could GO BEYOND SURVIVAL? This book offers a thoughtful look at the ideas, expectations, and situations that face a beginning teacher. Through stories of ups and downs and lessons learned, you will come away from reading this book a stronger educator, with deep roots that will allow you to thrive and not merely survive your first few years and beyond!

Girl in the Mirror: Mothers and Daughters in the Years of Adolescence Feature

irl in the Mirror teaches mothers everywhere that their daughters' adolescence isn't a time to be gotten through or survived, but rather a tremendous opportunity to foster social, emotional, and intellectual growth, as well as forge new connections between mothers and daughters. Drawing on the latest research and interviews with experts in different fields, the book sheds new light on the journey that is adolescence, the crucial interaction between mother and daughter, and the ways in which our own parenting skills must evolve as our daughters move into a new stage of their life. A recognized authority in the field of women's health, Dr. Nancy Snyderman tackles some of the often-repeated myths that surround adolescence, along with practical wisdom and sound advice. Filled with stories drawn from the authors' own experience mothering adolescent girls and from the experiences of women around the country, Girl in the Mirror is a bold and reassuring vision.

The Little Boy Book: A Guide to the First Eight Years Feature

"One of the only child-raising books that does justice to the importance of genetics and heredity...jam-packed with valuable information for every parent."
Dr. Fitzhugh Dodson, Author of HOW TO PARENT, HOW TO FATHER, and HOW TO DISCIPLINE WITH LOVE
Complete, authoritative, and sensible, this excellent resource draws on four years of research, and numerous studies and interviews, made public here for the first time. From the day you bring him home through his crucial elementary school years, you will learn: how boys develop differently than girls; where "male aggressiveness" originates; how working moms and their little boys can have a good relationship; and much more.
