 Workman Publishing What to Expect The First Year Parenting Books Parenting Books Workman Publishing Parents-to-be are likely to find themselves quickly immersed in this highly authoritative manual by the collaborators of What to Expect When You're Expecting . Nearly 700 pages of snappily written, friendly advice, constructed in the form of chatty answers to hypothetical questions, are arranged on a month-by-month basis. For each of 12 months, there are a guide to the progress the baby may be expected to be making at this stage, a list of potential health or other problems and paragraphs on the myriad questions all new parents ask--on subjects as various as in-home care, birthmarks, circumcision and breath-holding. Other sections cover what to buy for a new-born, first aid, recipes, adoption and even how to enjoy the first year, in terms of the parents' own activities, such as social life and sex. An extensive index leads the reader to information that wouldn't normally be accessed using the month-to-month arrangement--and also serves as an indication of the book's all-inclusiveness. (Publishers Weekly) This treasury of advice for new or expectant parents is encyclopedic in scope, reasonable in tone, and full of humor and practical hints. The first chapter discusses breast versus bottle feeding, answers questions on matters such as naming the baby, and offers suggestions on selecting the right physician. Further chapters cogently summarize current thought and practice on child development, first aid, adoption, the father's role, etc. A final section of ready-reference material includes recipes, common home remedies, a well-organized table of common illnesses, and height and weight charts. Empathetic and exhaustive in its coverage, this volume may well become many a new parent's best friend during a period of enormous adjustment. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. more info |
 Workman Publishing Eating Well When You're Expecting Parenting Books Parenting Books Workman Publishing For many pregnant women, eating healthy during pregnancy is a catch-22: ""The reason you want to eat healthy is because you're pregnant-and the reason you're having a hard time eating healthy is also because you're pregnant,"" the authors explain. Morning sickness, heartburn, constipation... the list of food-related problems pregnant women can encounter goes on and on. Murkoff (What to Expect When You're Expecting) and coauthor Mazel address these difficulties in a practical manner, with numerous tried-and-true suggestions that will certainly afford some relief for the majority. The ""Pregnancy Diet Daily Dozen"" lists foods that provide all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients mother and child need, followed by recipes that facilitate consumption of the daily dozen. Sidebars examine ""wisdom of the ages"" (myths and old wives' tales that may or may not hold water), and a survey will help expectant mothers evaluate their eating habits and monitor their weight gain. The authors address concerns of pregnant women who are lactose intolerant or vegans, advise on what to order in a restaurant, list which foods are strictly off-limits and explain how to read food labels. The book continues through the postpartum period and breastfeeding, making it an excellent resource for new moms and moms-to-be. more info |

 Workman Publishing Children Learn What They Live Parenting Books Parenting Books Workman Publishing Nolte's familiar poem, written in 1954, is the basis for these essays, beginning with ""If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn."" Nolte, a teacher and lecturer on family dynamics, and Harris, a psychotherapist, expound upon the simple truths of the original stanzas, which have been widely distributed. Each short chapter on jealousy, praise, shame, recognition, tolerance, honesty, etc. Expands upon Nolte's original observations, stressing respect and love as the main ingredients for raising happy and emotionally healthy children. Although the power and impact of the original poem drew greatly from its succinctness, some readers may benefit from these explications. The most valuable additions are the few real-life examples, including the tale of a 10-year-old boy who sought and received comfort from his mother after he flubbed a piano recital. While the text veers readily into greeting-card prose, the authors' message to support and encourage children, to be patient and kind certainly is hard to dispute. This compact, easily read volume doesn't pack the power of Nolte's popular poem, but it will make an inspiring gift for many parents. more info |
