Oh Grow Up : Toddlers to Preteens Decoded

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Kathy Fray

Published by: Random House

Renowned for her ability to 'cut through the nonsense', New Zealander Kathy Fray is a parenting author whose writing style blows the cobwebs off antiquated ideologies, while engaging the reader with entertaining realism.
Her new book is about parenting the whole child and includes comprehensive explanations of each stage of childhood development, sections on children's health and nutrition, intelligence and personality, and parenting with soul.
The result is an eclectic fusion of ordinary old-school middle-of-the-road philosophies with contemporary philosophies.

As Kathy explains, "These days, parenting is about raising children who are well-informed, shrewdly perceptive, and equipped with savvy street-smarts - or as the French would say, savoir-faire!"
Oh Grow Up has been written to empower us as parents, so we're better equipped to empower our children.

Using stories and insights from her own life, she provides a lexicon for the half-insane working mom.

Filled with essays, lists, and resonant observations, JUST LET ME LIE DOWN establishes van Ogtrop as the Erma Bombeck of the new millennium.

Last Child in the Woods : Saving our children from Nature-deficit Disorder

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Paperback

Author: Richard Louv

Published by: Atlantic Books

This huge international bestseller, fully revised for non-American readers, is now in paperback. "Last Child in the Woods" shows how our children have become increasingly alienated and distant from nature, why this matters, and what we can do to make a difference. It is unsentimental, rigorous and utterly original. Camping in the garden, riding bikes through the woods, climbing trees, collecting bugs, picking wildflowers, running through piles of autumn leaves...These are the things childhood memories are made of. But for a whole generation of today's children the pleasures of a free-range childhood are missing, and their indoor habits contribute to epidemic obesity, attention-deficit disorder, isolation and childhood depression. "Last Child in the Woods" is a clarion call, brilliantly written, compelling and irresistibly persuasive - a book that will change minds and lives.

The Homework Myth : Why Our Children Get Too Much of a Bad Thing

order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each

Paperback

Author: Alfie Kohn

Published by: De Capo Press

This work is a compelling expose of homework - its negative effects, why it's so widely accepted, and what we can do about it.Whilst they're free of many of the worries of adulthood, one of the inevitable downsides faced by kids is the idea that after spending the day at school, they must complete more academic assignments once they're home. The results are predictable: stress and conflict, frustration and exhaustion. Parents respond by reassuring themselves that at least the benefits outweigh the costs. But do they? In "The Homework Myth", Alfie Kohn, one of America's leading educators and parenting experts, systematically examines the usual defences of homework - that it promotes higher educational achievement, "reinforces" learning, and teaches study skills and responsibility. None of these assumptions, he shows, actually passes the test of logic, research, or experience. So why do we continue to administer this modern-day cod liver ... more

With chapters on each phase of a baby's life until the age of two, this book is the only book a new parent should need.
