Authoring Your Life: Developing an Internal Voice to Navigate Life’s Challenges $29.95 Who am I? What do I want in relationships? How do I know what to believe?

It will help you to reflect on the problems and setbacks you encounter to discover your own voice, uncover your authentic sense of values, build your confidence, and find meaning in you life. This is, however, far more than a self-help book; and it addresses multiple audiences.Because everyone’s circumstances differ, and life unpredictable, this book does not offer simplistic solutions and steps to follow. Instead, Marcia Baxter Magolda immerses you in the stories of thirty-five adults whom she has followed and interviewed for over twenty years. With her guidance, and using the self-authorship framework she has developed, you will recognize in yourself many patterns and parallels from the protagonists’ stories of emotional and intellectual growth.

In addition to helping you identify the phases of your journey to self-authorship, Marcia Baxter Magolda offers reflective exercises and questions to help you uncover your strengths and identify the barriers that may be inhibiting you from building the internal, psychological compass that will serve as the foundation for your journey. Offering advice on how to be “good company” for those who have set out on their journey to self-authorship, the book is also addressed to partners, family members, friends, teachers, mentors, and employers, so they can offer support to those that face these challenges.Finally, for scholars of adult development, this book offers the latest articulation of the developing theory of self-authorship. |

Building Children’s Self-Esteem $4.99 Self-esteem is how we “see” ourselves; it influences much of what we do, including what we become. Feeling good about oneself gives a person the confidence to tackle life’s many complex tasks and challenging pleasures. People who lack confidence, and avoid new or difficult experiences, may appear to lack ability. However, their low self-esteem probably caused them not to “try.”The foundation for self-esteem in adulthood develops during childhood. The building of self-esteem happens in conjunction with the development of many different tasks, from learning to say “momma” to understanding the molecular structure of DNA. Childhood is certainly a time of discovery, and part of that discovery has to do with learning what oneself is capable of mastering.There are many reasons why the development of a child’s self-esteem may be hindered. They range from very real problems, such as physical handicaps, to less clear issues, such as emotional problems stemming from parental divorce. Despite the particular difficulties that children may encounter, their self-esteem can grow and flourish – with the right support.Understanding what is happening to children when they are experiencing significant developmental stages is crucial to helping them go through “phases,” such as whether they are being shy or rebellious. However, adults are sometimes unaware of how sensitive children are to their words and actions. The environment in which a child experiences a new activity can be critical.Unfortunately, there are many potentially negative results when children do not develop healthy self-esteem. Possible outcomes range from general unhappiness to deep depression, to dropping out of school, to robbery and even to violence. People with very low self-esteem may harbor resentment towards others who seem to have “more.” This |

The Natural Child $16.95 The Natural Child makes a compelling case for a return to attachment parenting, a child-rearing approach that has come naturally for parents throughout most of human history. In this insightful guide, parenting specialist Jan Hunt links together attachment parenting principles with child advocacy and homeschooling philosophies, offering a consistent approach to raising a loving, trusting, and confident child. The Natural Child dispels the myths of tough love, building baby’s self-reliance by ignoring its cries, and the necessity of spanking to enforce discipline. Instead, the book explains the value of extended breast-feeding, family co-sleeping, and minimal child-parent separation.Homeschooling, like attachment parenting, nurtures feelings of self-worth, confidence, and trust. The author draws on respected leaders of the homeschool movement such as John Taylor Gatto and John Holt, guiding the reader through homeschool approaches that support attachment parenting principles.Being an ally to children is spontaneous for caring adults, but intervening on behalf of a child can be awkward and surrounded by social taboo. The Natural Child shows how to stand up for a child’s rights effectively and sensitively in many difficult situations.The role of caring adults, points out Hunt, is not to give children lessons in life but to employ a variation of The Golden Rule, and treat children as we would like to have been treated in childhhood.Marketing for The Natural Child : National publicity National print advertising Promotional mailing to members of La Leche League, Attachment League International, and American Homeschooling Association. Co-op availableJan Hunt is the Director of The Natural Child Project, Coordinator of the Canadian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in British Columbia, and on the Board of Directors for Attachment Parenting International.
