Daniel J. Siegel

An intimate glimpse inside a silent epidemic that is harming teens, and a pathway for parents to help them reclaim the restorative power of sleep. If you could protect your child from unnecessary anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, and foster a greater sense of happiness and well-being in their lives, wouldn’t you? In this book, the authors of The Happy Sleeper, the classic book on helping babies and young children develop healthy sleep habits, uncover one of the greatest threats to our teenagers’ physical and mental health: sleep deprivation. Caught in a perfect storm of omnipresent screens, academic overload, and unnecessarily early school-start times, our children are operating in a constant state of sleep debt while struggling to meet the demands of adolescence. In this essential book, Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright draw on the latest scientific research to reveal that today’s teenagers are, in fact, the most sleep-deprived population in human history. In fact, at a critical phase of development, many teens need more sleep than their younger siblings — but they’re getting drastically less. Generation Sleepless guides families in building healthy habits around sleep by: • establishing family agreements around sleep habits; • altering family practices around phones, social media, and screen time; • regaining overall equilibrium in the home; and • remaking bedtime routines Packed with years of research and in-depth reporting, Generation Sleepless is a wake-up call for parents that equips them with the right tools to start a family conversation about sleep and to ultimately regain connection with their tweens and teens.

Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Childs hows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

Parenting isn't easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood." There is parenting magic in this book."--Michael Thompson, Ph. D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out--in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships--is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn't take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it's simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child's healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S's: - Safe: We can't always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change. - Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions--both positive and negative--and strive to attune to what's happening in his mind beneath his behavior. - Soothed: Soothing isn't about providing a life of ease; it's about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you'll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he'll never have to suffer alone. - Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up--when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S's effectively in all kinds of situations--when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don't show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it's never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child's healthy emotional landscape.

Av New York Times bestseller-författarna bakom succéboken Förstå ditt barns hjärnaFöräldraskap är inte lätt. Men att vara tillgänglig kan vara lätt. Din största betydelse i ditt föräldraskap börjar precis där du är just nu. Vetenskapliga studier har visat att en av de viktigaste faktorerna för hur barn kommer att utvecklas i termer av lycka, framgång i studier, ledaregenskaper och meningsfulla relationer är att åtminstone en vuxen person finns tillgänglig på ett förutsägbart sätt under barnets uppväxt. I en tid med hårdare krav på tidsscheman och när datorer, surfplattor och mobilskärmar kräver ständig uppmärksamhet kan det låta som en oöverstiglig uppgift att vara tillgänglig för sitt barn. Men bokens prisbelönta författare, neuropsykiatriken Daniel J Siegel och föräldraskapsexperten Tina Payne Bryson, förklarar att tillgänglighet inte kräver särskilt mycket tid, energi eller pengar. Närvarande föräldraskap bygger på den senaste neurovetenskapliga forskningen och vetenskapen om anknytning och innehåller strategier, illustrationer och tips som gör föräldraskapet enklare och hjälper ditt barns hjärna att få bästa möjliga utveckling."
