 She's gotten you through your pregnancy and has your baby sleeping like -- well, like a baby -- and now Ann Douglas is back with her "No-Worry Approach" to mealtime. Although most parents imagine (pre-baby, of course), that their kids will be polite at the dinner table, try everything offered, and finish their vegetables, Douglas knows as well as anyone that these dreams are given up once an actual child is placed at the table. As in her previous books, though, Douglas has the solution to this common parenting dilemma, and it is one that not only works, but is stress- and guilt-free. Her approach differs from others you may have tried for several reasons, not the least of which is that it is mom-centered, focusing on you and helping you design a mealtime plan that works for your kids.

For all those parents who have wondered what’s wrong with kids today, Moore has the answer. In a changing society and amidst new attitudes about parenting that are drastically different from how we were raised, we no longer clearly define the meaning of being grown up – resulting in kids who boomerang their way back home, max out our credit cards without a second thought, and don’t know how to take responsibility for themselves. The answer, according to Moore, is giving kids a rite of passage to mark their entry into adulthood, maturity, and self-reliance.

 Time after time parents are bombarded with horror stories of sports-related disasters, from stressed and overscheduled kids burning out by high school and young kids suffering permanent injuries and facing countless surgeries to adults who took things a little too seriously on the sidelines, jeopardizing the safety of not only their own child, but other parents and spectators as well.
Which is why Sports Success Rx!, a book by Dr. Paul R. Stricker, is essential reading for any parent whose child is being active or playing sports. As a sports medicine pediatrician and Olympic physician, Dr. Stricker is well qualified to tell parents everything they need to know about active children. This book educates parents about a child’s physical development at every age, helps them take the pressure off their kids when it comes to playing sports, and provides some tips and a little perspective for parents themselves.

 Any expectant mother who wants to know what motherhood will really be like or any seasoned mom who has already been through it all several times will find a friend in Lisa Sharp, the author of Stretchmarks on My Sanity.
With wit, wisdom, and a good amount of brutal honesty, Lisa recounts stories, advice, and reality about everything from pregnancy and sleepless nights, sick children and online chatting, and PMS and becoming your parents. Made to deliver humor on the go, the book is divided into short sections you can read whenever you have some free time (a rare commodity, as every mother knows), all of which will have you laughing along - and relieved you’re not the only one to feel that way.
