Are you looking for resources that you can use at home or possibly
send to school with your child?
The books
and products suggested below can help your child with issues ranging from self esteem, life transitions, limit setting and
issues with attention and fidgetiness. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding these recommendations.
Children of all ages love to be reminded about how completely special and unique their relationship is to you. This book is
a true self esteem booster. And, it is relevant to children of all birth origins.
If you and your child's parent have divorced, this is an excellent reference guide.
I use this book with kids starting ages 7-10. The pages are a bit crowded with information and the pictures may seem to be
a little young, but the ideas shared on the pages resonate with children in my groups, every time.
Discipline and limit setting rely on structure and consistency. 1,2,3 Magic Delivers both. Much more than just counting
to three, this method helps parents to avoid becoming overly emotional and too talkative when it matters most.

As kids get older, parenting gets trickier! Love and Logic for Teens gives parents the tools to stay one step ahead of their
kids and ready to meet the challenges of the adolescent, whose goals include avoiding punishment and outsmarting adults!
Check out the Love and Logic book of one-liners and their training dvd, too.
This book is most appropriate for the young child or elementary aged child who has experienced their first significant loss
of a loved one. It is both gentle and objective with a message that is easy to apply.

If your child has been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, I recommend that you gather knowledge and information on a variety of sources
to help equip you with the understanding and ability to address your child's needs. There are a variety of reference books
on the subject, this is a good one.
Parents need to use their judgement as to how their children learn about and understand the issues that relate to ADHD. I
believe that most are not ready until fourth or fifth grade. This is best reviewed with your child by a professional, close
relative or a parent whose relationship with their child is relatively relaxed and accepting.
Does your child have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep? This cd has a great track record for helping with both issues.
If your child's teacher complains that your child is fidgety and restless in class, ask if it is OK to send your child in
with a stress ball. Show your child how to keep their hands in their lap and use the stress ball appropriately. I am still
looking for the ideal contraption, which is a stress ball with a fob that attaches to belt loops.
As you can see, in addition to structure and consistency, I believe in the power of redirecting and supporting children in
non-verbal ways. Brain Gym is a method of using gentle, easy to learn pressure point poses to help children of all ages to
relax and attend in a calm manner.
I started subscribing to this magazine when my daughter turned eight. I believe it has helped prepare her for the tween years
and made her more understanding and accepting of the types of challenges girls face.
