If you’re like most parents, you worry about the future. You’re afraid that your disrespectful twelve-year-old will become a juvenile delinquent or that your defiant eight-year-old will become even more difficult to manage as a teenager. You may also worry about how to remain the most influential person in your child’s life, and sometimes about whether or not you have lost your influence altogether. You work hard at being a positive role model and being “good” in so many ways, but wonder if what you’re doing and saying is making a difference.In How to Influence Your Kids For Good, Sara Dimerman shares her practical and effective step-by-step plan that will help you bring your family together, improve communication, and unlock the very best in your children and yourself.”Sara Dimerman makes a convincing case that developing character in our children is one of a parent’s most important tasks.

How To Influence Your Kids For Good

Do you feel like your partner has become your child? Do you find yourself being his maid, his cook, his manager? Have romance, respect, fun—and sex—been drained out of your relationship? In How Can I Be Your Lover When I’m Too Busy Being Your Mother? Sara Dimerman and J.M. Kearns lay bare an essential problem: the woman who finds she’s turned into a mother to her man instead of the equal and intimate partner she once was. She has a day job just like he does, yet at home she finds herself doing most of the housework, running the home, and being in charge of the child-rearing, which makes her his boss in the one place they spend most of their time together. This leaves her feeling angry and resentful—hardly conducive to being lovers. Dimerman and Kearns boldly confront the issues, allowing both sexes to vent in a no-holds-barred exchange that ranges from hostile to hilarious. They deconstruct the problem using real-life examples and lay out a step-by-step path that will enable any couple to get back to being equal partners again.

During her younger daugher's first year away from home and in residence at university, psychologist Sara Dimerman kept a daily journal of both of their experiences and day-to-day challenges - and solutions - that emerged. Don't Leave, Please Go covers a entire year's worth of practical, social, emotional and academic changes for both parent and teen - beginning six weeks before her teen leaving home, move-in day, the first week apart, first month apart, until Christmas break, between New Years and end of the school year, and moving back home. Honest and no-holds barred, this book also explores the push/pull of emotions that parents and their teens experience as dynamics shift between them and within the family when living apart.
