Parenting has never been the easiest job in the world, but with all the parenting advice out there, it's hard not to become bewildered. Today everybody has a different method for dealing with the madness. And who's to say one method is better than another? How do you choose? The truth is that whatever drumbeat you march to, all parents would agree that we just want our kids to be happy. But in the face of all the many parenting theories out there, happiness feels like it has become incidental.

Overcoming School Avoidance tackles one of the fastest-growing issues facing families everywhere: the increasing number of children who are refusing or reluctant to attend school. Often misunderstood as defiance or opposition, school avoidance can be a sign of deeper emotional or mental health challenges.

It’s time to change the conversation—about work, life, and “balance.” Work and life are inextricably, intimately intertwined. We need to celebrate what we do give our children—even and especially in moments of imbalance—rather than apologizing for what we don’t. In this way, we can model for our children how we use our talents to help others and raise awareness about the issues closest to our hearts.

Modern parenting is in a complicated place. By some estimates, fathers today spend seven times more time parenting than their dads did.

This money skills for kids book age 9 and 10 teaches young learners how to build smart habits before poor ones take hold. Designed for grade 4 and 5 students, it blends real world examples with fun, hands-on lessons that kids actually enjoy. We had to buy the hardcover version because our son destroyed the paperback taking it to school and sharing it with friends.

Social play, especially team games, is a great experience that encourages kids to lead or support their teammates, and provides a wealth of opportunities to share, take turns, and show respect for others. It is an excellent way of encouraging children to learn and practice all the skills required by working together. Studies have shown that playing social games, especially for social and collaborative children, can lead to more pro-social behaviors that are positive, helpful, and aimed toward social acceptance and friendship among children.

Many parents dread talking to their kids about money in fear of opening pandora’s box. But firstly, that box is probably already open; you will be surprised at what kids soak up from their friends, what they see on TV and on social media, and what they hear you talking about at home. And secondly, if it isn’t already, it likely will be soon, and this will be out of your control. It may be better if we actually open this box from time to time anyway. Not talking to your kids about money can actually make them think that money is something to fear.

This book gives you the no-BS playbook for doing exactly that.

Books that outline a "right way" of doing things can leave even the most dedicated caregiver feeling discouraged and inadequate when real life doesn't measure up.
