Edição com nova capa

Nunca tivemos tantas maneiras de nos comunicar, e no entanto nunca faltou tanto diálogo no ambiente familiar como nos dias de hoje. Aparentemente, a comunicação via SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, e-mail, celulares, e o bom e "velho" telefone já não se mostram suficientes para ajudar na manutenção ou no estreitamento dos laços entre membros de uma mesma família.

Some a isso a correria frenética do dia a dia e uma agenda cheia de atividades, e está montado o cenário típico de ruído de comunicação, prejudicando um dos momentos mais importantes que se pode ter em família: a hora das refeições. A questão não é a alimentação em si, mas o compartilhamento interpessoal e o investimento nos relacionamentos que esse tempo à mesa proporciona.

Por isso, devemos saudar o trabalho competente de Devi Titus, que não apenas nos alerta sobre os perigos da comunicação deficiente em família, mas também apresenta dicas valiosas sobre como atribuir à experiência da mesa um valor de dimensões eternas.

- Develop strategies for handling mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, school, and many other situations.

- Implement discipline to win cooperation and establish clear boundaries

- Teach your child how to be a "problem solver" and work well with others

- ... and more!

Including charts and quick tips for today's time-challenged parents, this newly updated edition of Raising Your Spirited Child will help you foster a supportive, encouraging, and loving environment for your spirited child.

Perfect for baby showers, gender reveal parties, and first birthdays, You Are Loved extends the sentiments in Nancy Tillman's bestseller On the Night You Were Born and tells children they are loved.

Finalist for the National Book Award

When Lonnie was seven years old, his parents died in a fire. Now he's eleven, and he still misses them terribly. And he misses his little sister, Lili, who was put into a different foster home because "not a lot of people want boys-not foster boys that ain't babies." But Lonnie hasn't given up. His foster mother, Miss Edna, is growing on him. She's already raised two sons and she seems to know what makes them tick. And his teacher, Ms. Marcus, is showing him ways to put his jumbled feelings on paper.

Told entirely through Lonnie's poetry, we see his heartbreak over his lost family, his thoughtful perspective on the world around him, and most of all his love for Lili and his determination to one day put at least half of their family back together. Jacqueline Woodson's poignant story of love, loss, and hope is lyrically written and enormously accessible.

Vivian Gornick's Fierce Attachments--hailed by the New York Times for the renowned feminist author's "mesmerizing, thrilling" truths within its pages--has been selected by the publication's book critics as the #1 Best Memoir of the Past 50 Years.

In this deeply etched and haunting memoir, Vivian Gornick tells the story of her lifelong battle with her mother for independence. There have been numerous books about mother and daughter, but none has dealt with this closest of filial relations as directly or as ruthlessly. Gornick's groundbreaking book confronts what Edna O'Brien has called "the principal crux of female despair" the unacknowledged Oedipal nature of the mother-daughter bond.

Born and raised in the Bronx, the daughter of "urban peasants," Gornick grows up in a household dominated by her intelligent but uneducated mother's romantic depression over the early death of her husband. Next door lives Nettie, an attractive widow whose calculating sensuality appeals greatly to Vivian. These women with their opposing models of femininity continue, well into adulthood, to affect Gornick's struggle to find herself in love and in work.

As Gornick walks with her aged mother through the streets of New York, arguing and remembering the past, each wins the reader's admiration: the caustic and clear-thinking daughter, for her courage and tenacity in really talking to her mother about the most basic issues of their lives, and the still powerful and intuitively-wise old woman, who again and again proves herself her daughter's mother.

Unsparing, deeply courageous, Fierce Attachments is one of the most remarkable documents of family feeling that has been written, a classic that helped start the memoir boom and remains one of the most moving examples of the genre.

"[Gornick] stares unflinchingly at all that is hidden, difficult, strange, unresolvable in herself and others--at loneliness, sexual malice and the devouring, claustral closeness of mothers and daughters...[Fierce Attachments is] a portrait of the artist as she finds a language--original, allergic to euphemism and therapeutic banalities--worthy of the women that raised her."--The New York Times

A groundbreaking approach to successfully navigating your pregnancy at work

Pregnancy is a profound journey. Navigating it while working--from figuring out how to tell your boss you're pregnant to squeezing in doctors' appointments between meetings, all while working even harder to prove yourself--can be a push and pull between a desire for privacy and the need for support. The good news is, it's possible to thrive in both spaces. Carry Strong offers a new approach that will transform your pregnancy years at work from something to "get through" into a career opportunity to embrace with confidence.

Employing original research, expert advice, and real-life stories from Olympic athletes, CEOs, and hundreds of amazing working mothers across the country, executive and professor Stephanie Kramer outlines essential principles for navigating pregnancy and work simultaneously. She shows you how to embrace a different perspective, find your balance, cultivate community, communicate your needs, and navigate the shift in identity from working woman to working mother. Along the way, you'll identify career considerations to make at each phase of pregnancy, starting with the moment you decide you want to become a working mom-to-be.

In Carry Strong, Kramer flips the script: This isn't about powering through pregnancy at work. It's about being powerful and pregnant at work.

As Semanas Mágicas. Um guia livre de estresse para a saúde mental do seu bebê

Um best-seller mundial que resgatará a sanidade dos pais do mundo todo.

As Semanas Mágicas revela oque está acontecendo na mente do bebê. Capítulo bônus: O sono e a falta de sono são algo com que todos temos que lidar quando temos um bebê. Este capítulo inclui tudo sobre a relação entre sono e saltos, bem como uma visão única sobre o sono do seu bebê. Dica: você sabia que seu bebê aprende (e há muita atividade cerebral) durante essas sonecas?

O livro inclui:

- Guia semanal do comportamento do bebê
- Quando esperar o comportamento difícil, o que ele implica (comportamento choroso, apegamento e irritabilidade, o CAI) e como lidar com esses períodos de regressão (saltos)
- Uma descrição da perspectiva que seu bebê tem do mundo a volta dele e como você pode entender as alterações pelas quais ele está passando
- Jogos divertidos e atividades delicadas para você fazer com sua criança

O livro baseia-se na descoberta científica de um fenômeno que muda o mundo dos pais: todos os bebês normais e saudáveis parecem ficar mais exigentes aproximadamente nas mesmas idades, os períodos de regressão (saltos de desenvolvimento), e dormem menos nestas fases.

Essas flutuações relacionadas à idade de necessidade de contato corporal e atenção (períodos de regressão) estão ligadas a mudanças importantes e bastante dramáticas nos cérebros das crianças. Como consequência, essas mudanças permitem que um bebê entre em um mundo de percepção completamente novo para que ele aprenda várias novas habilidades. Isso deveria ser motivo de celebração, mas para o bebê essas mudanças são desconcertantes. Ele foi pego de surpresa -- tudo mudou durante a noite. É como se ele tivesse acordado em um planeta diferente. Ele precisa de você para guiá-lo e entender o que ele está passando.

Prepare-se para redescobrir o mundo novamente com o seu bebê!
