Story
In this book, her follow-up to the best seller Discipline Without Damage, Dr. Lapointe advises new parents how to put their child on a path to optimal development during the crucial early years. The baby and toddler years are the most important period for any child's emotional and psychological development. Parents naturally want to do what's best for their kids, but they often struggle to know what that is, especially when dealing with the big "battlegrounds" of sleep, feeding, and managing aggression.

Baffling and beloved, with the capacity to go from joy to frustration in seconds, young children are some of the most misunderstood people on the planet. Parents and caregivers struggle with these little ones, who are known for their extreme behaviour, from tantrums, resistance, and aggression to separation anxiety, bedtime protests, and not listening. The key to understanding youngsters lies in realizing that their challenging behaviour is not personal, nor is it a disorder or deficit.

Story
In Hauntings, James Hollis considers how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms - spirits, ghosts, ancestral and parental influences, inner voices, dreams, impulses, untold stories, complexes, synchronicities, and mysteries - that move through us through history. He offers a way to understand them psychologically, examining the persistence of the past in influencing our present, conscious lives and noting that engagement with mystery is what life asks of each of us. From such engagements, a deeper, more thoughtful, more considered life may come.

Story
In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction - for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

Story
One basic need all children have, educator Alfie Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including "time outs"), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Kohn cites a body of powerful and largely unknown research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval.

Publisher's Summary
In this easy-to-listen-to, science-based book, parents, caregivers, and adults of all kinds discover how discipline affects children’s development, why intervention should reinforce connection not separation, and why the disciplinary strategies that may have been used on us as children are not the ones that children really need. As a practicing child and family psychologist and advisor to the British Columbia ministry of children and families, Dr. Vanessa has seen it all, and she has navigated hundreds of tough situations with families. Drawing on scientific research and a wealth of clinical experience, she shows you how to put out the fire without dampening your child’s spirits; how to correct their behavior while emphasizing connection; and how to discipline without damage.

Good info poor delivery
I have to agree with the other reviews, the voice actress reading this book is comically bad. While the information provided is good the audible book is a struggle to listen too. You will be much better off just getting Whole brain child, same information but the book goes deeper and provides more for the parent to help and implement with their child.

Some important info, but irritating delivery
I bought this both as a paperback and as an audio book, because while trying to read the paperback I kept falling asleep.
However, the first bit of the book was not something I could sleep through... if *my child* punched me in the nose they would instantly know it was a problem because I'd be gushing blood everywhere. Not to mention it makes me worried that kids raised this way may grow up thinking people will just let them abuse them. Majorly problematic, if so.
The author repeats herself so much that I began to wonder if this book should just have been 1 or 2 blog posts rather than a book. At the end, she actually mentions it was initially a blog post.
She shares some important concepts and methods, though I don't agree with everything. And I generally didn't like the *way* she shared them. I do hope people who need to hear them will still get them from somewhere, whether it's this book or somewhere else.
I find the narrator's clipped way of speaking and sorry, but, her accent mind-numbingly annoying. She also mispronounces words and puts emphasis on the wrong parts of phrases and sentences so that they don't actually make sense anymore. That made it hard to follow, in addition to irritating.

Provides the heart in parenting advice
Provides the heart in parenting advice! This book did a great job of helping me to focus on the relationship with my child. Parenting out of being and connecting with my kid rather than trying to control the behavior of my kid.
I loved her examples and steps that are very practical. From the very beginning of reading this book, you are inspired to be the best big person you can be in your kid's life. And you can do it!
