Make a conscious decision to plug into your kid's world. You may not be the only influence in your child's life, but you have to be the biggest."--Dr. Phil McGraw, #1 New York Times best-selling author and host of the TV show Dr. Phil "The Eyres have created a beautiful new language of natural, nurturing symbols that allow parents and children to communicate in a new and effective way. A truly remarkable book which 'strikes at the root.'"--Stephen R. Covey, Author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families "Nurturing is not just for parents. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, or anyone who loves a child needs to read this book."--Jane Clayson, ABC News Correspondent "Mothers have traditionally been the key nurturers in their children's lives. The Eyres' 'natural' approach to principle-centered parenting opens exciting new ways for all of us to nurture family relationships."--Marcia Ford, President, American Mothers Association The #1 bestselling authors of Teaching Your Children Values show parents how to develop a nurturing environment for their children All parents want to teach their children good values. But beneath that desire lies a greater need--for a bond of love and trust that keeps children safe, and lets parents participate more fully in their children's lives. Linda and Richard Eyre, hosts of a monthly segment on the "CBS Early Show," help parents accomplish this in The Book of Nurturing, presenting tools for developing family relationships and turning a house into a home. They have crafted nine powerful lessons based on stories and parables that can preserve family values and give children a sense of worth and self-esteem, based on: <ul>
<li>Commitment </li>
<li>Praise, support, and positive affirmation </li>
<li>Responsibility </li>
<li>Awareness </li>
<li>Communication </li>
<li>Discipline (tough love) </li>
<li>Consistency </li>
<li>Security and identity </li>
<li>Freedom and empowerment </li>
</ul>
Parents will recognize the wisdom of the nine natural laws and will appreciate the workability of the ideas and application methods. Children will love the images of animals and nature and will feel included and responsive to their parents' initiatives. In a sense, this is a whole new genre of parenting book--written both for parents and for children, giving them a common language of symbols that they can share and use together to build their relationships and strengthen their family.

The Book of Nurturing

Never did Richard Eyre feel history sit quite so heavily on his shoulders as on Laurence Olivier's eightieth birthday when, with Peter Hall, the three of them lined up for the photo: Directors of the National Theatre past, present and future. Under Eyre's directorship the National Theatre has continued to thrive, proof that there's a place for subsidised theatre in the nineties and that theatre continues to matter. Yet this is a revealing book about the man - his view on acting and politics, certainly, but with striking portraits of friends and colleagues: Ian Charleson, Laurence Olivier, Ian McKellen, Peter Brook, Tony Harrison, Judi Dench and Ion Caramitru (a Romanian Hamlet who transparently denounced Ceausescu along with Claudius to buck up his beleaguered audiences). It is also a recreation of a Dorset childhood. If the ghost of one grandfather who had been on Scott's first Antarctic expedition wasn't daunting enough, here too was the living grandfather who assaulted motorists with his horsewhip, and parents who implemented a tyranny of fun, his father's motto being "Enough is too little, too much is enough". Eyre is hilarious, if scathing, about his own brief acting career, identifying in passing such pernicious orthodoxies as "student acting" and "dog acting". He minces no words about hokum of any kind, evades sentimentality but bestows appreciation where it is due with precision. Richard Eyre has been Director of the Royal National Theatre since 1988. He has directed numerous premieres including plays by David Hare, Alan Bennett, Christopher Hampton, Trevor Griffiths, Ken Campbell and Howard Brenton, and many classics, notably "Guys and Dolls", "Richard III", and "Hamlet" (twice). He has produced and directed films for television, including "Tumbledown", "The Insurance Man", and "The Ploughman's Lunch".

Through the flash points of its glorious history, Richard Eyre and Nicholas Wright, two of today's most distinguished men of the theatre, celebrate the British and American stage as it has evolved over the course of the twentieth century. From Pygmalion's first Eliza Doolittle (Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who enchanted playwright George Bernard Shaw in 1914) and her equally piquant successors, to Uta Hagen in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; from Gertrude Lawrence and Noël Coward in his Private Lives (their performance as dazzling as the play itself), to Michael Frayn's Copenhagen—this stylish, astute, richly pictorial volume brings us the actors, directors, and playwrights who have shaped one hundred years of the theatre and the performances that live on in our minds . Lotte Lenya in The Threepenny Opera, Laurence Olivier in the British production of Eugene O'Neill's viscerally American Long Day's Journey into Night, Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun, Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead . . . Here is the essential mixture of Shakespearean heritage, Irish magic, American vitality, and Russian pathos that converged on the stage in an efflorescence of dramatic innovation. Eyre and Wright's survey of this brilliant period is allusive, intelligent, and intimate, rich in anecdote and infused with a deep love and understanding of the theatre.

Teaching Your Children Values

One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is a strong sense of personal values. Helping your children develop values such as honesty, self-reliance, and dependability is as important a part of their education as teaching them to read or how to cross the street safely. The values you teach your children are their best protection from the influences of peer pressure and the temptations of consumer culture. With their own values clearly defined, your children can make their own decisions -- rather than imitate their friends or the latest fashions. In Teaching Your Children Values Linda and Richard Eyre present a practical, proven, month-by-month program of games, family ctivities, and value-building ecercises for kids of all ages.

Touchstone

They provide a simple, practical program-with enjoyable exercises, games, and activities-that you can use to teach your children these important concepts. Written by parents for parents, Teaching Your Children Responsibility will help you give your children the tools they need to thrive in today's challenging world-and help them grow up to be happy, fulfilled adults.
