For parents who didn't grow up with smartphones but can't let go of them now, expert advice on raising kids in our constantly connected world Most kids get their first smartphone at the same time that they're experiencing major developmental changes. Making mistakes has always been a part of growing up, but how do parents help their kids navigate childhood and adolescence at a time when social media has the potential to magnify the consequences of those mistakes? Rather than spend all their time worrying about the worst-case scenario, readers get a bigger-picture understanding of their kids' digital landscape. Drawing on research and interviews with educators, psychologists, and kids themselves, Raising a Screen-Smart Kid offers practical advice on how parents can help their kids avoid the pitfalls and reap the benefits of the digital age by: • using social media to enhance connection with friends and family, instead of following strangers and celebrities, which is a predictor of loneliness and depression • finding online support and community for conditions such as depression and eating disorders, while avoiding potential triggers such as #Thinspiration Pinterest boards • learning and developing life skills through technology--for example, by problem-solving in online games--while avoiding inappropriate content Written by a public health expert and the creator of the popular blog Rants from Mommyland, this book shows parents how to help their kids navigate friendships, bullying, dating, self-esteem, and more online.

Sometimes being a woman sucks. Do you ever feel the pressure to be perfect? I Just Want to Be Perfect is the fourth book in the New York Times bestselling I Just Want to Pee Alone series. 
It brings together 37 hilarious and relatable essays that showcase the foibles of ordinary women trying to be perfect. The cult of perfection is a thing. 
As women, we are constantly inundated with "helpful" and/or "ah-may-zing" tips to improve our looks, please our men, raise the next Einstein (in a wheat-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free environment), and feng shui the crap out of our homes. 
Whether it's the hot new diet that involves only eating what you can forage from the floor of your minivan, bleaching everything from your hair to your teeth to your butt hole, or clearing your clutter by mindfully thanking your ratty underwear for its long, dedicated service before you toss them, we've all tried something to be more perfect. 
We try to strive for perfection and balance in our lives, and most of us fail--spectacularly. 
These are those stories.

Teachers rock! Teachers have an impossibly hard job. We expect them to do everything! Educate our kids, tie their shoes, facilitate their arguments, grade their papers, sharpen their pencils, and more! 
And when a teacher isn't doing all these things, they're usually taking continuing education, coming up with lesson plans, figuring out new technology, answering student and parent emails, and buying supplies for the classroom. All without anyone really noticing.
That's why we wanted to write a book that celebrates the teachers who made an impact on us. This book is a thank you to the teachers who made a difference in our lives and in our children's lives. 
This book includes stories from 39 different writers and includes stories like:
How Moving to Kansas, a Couple of Off-Duty Teachers, and Lucy van Pelt Helped Me Find My Super Power
You Teach What?!?!
Being a Teacher Doesn't Make Me a Better Mother (But Being a Mother Makes Me a Better Teacher)
Homeschool Dropout: A Self-Preservation Story
Sarcasm, Fart Jokes, and Other Reasons Why I'd Never Make It as a Middle School Teacher
