Heaven on Earth: A Handbook for Parents of Young Children
Oppenheimer, Sharifa Rudolph Steiner Pr 0880105666 / 9780880105668 PAPERBACK New
0880105666 As we see a shift of old forms that were once the foundations of our daily lives, parents?who must prepare the next generation to meet the changing world?have more questions today than ever before. Although our cultural values and family structures may change, it is the atmosphere in the home that continues to form the foundation of a child?s life. In Heaven on Earth, parent and educator Sharifa Oppenheimer reveals how parents can make the home environment warm, lively, loving, and consistent with their highest ideals. Heaven on Earth balances a theoretical understanding of child development with practical ideas, resources, and tips that can transform family life. Readers will learn how to create the regular life rhythms needed to establish a foundation for learning; how to design indoor play environments that allow children the broadest development of skills; and how to create outdoor play spaces that encourage vigorous movement and a wide sensory palette. Through art, storytelling, and the festival celebrations, this book is an invaluable guide to building a ?family culture? based on the guiding principle of love?a culture that supports children and encourages the free development of each unique soul. Responding to parents? questions from more than twenty years of teaching, Sharifa Oppenheimer offers a gift from the heart. Heaven on Earth is a practical, inspiring resource that brings the author's informed, intuitive understanding of young children into the heart of the home.

My Baby Rides the Short Bus: The Unabashedly Human Experience of Raising Kids with Disabilities
PM Press 1604861096 / 9781604861099 PAPERBACK New
1604861096 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 336 p. Audience: General/trade. In lives where there is a new diagnosis or drama every day, the stories in this collection provide parents of special needs kids with a welcome chuckle, a rock to stand on, and a moment of reality held far enough from the heart to see clearly. Featuring works by alternative parents who have attempted to move away from mainstream thought--or remove its influence altogether--this anthology, taken as a whole, carefully considers the implications of parenting while raising children with disabilities. From professional writers to novice storytellers including Robert Rummel-Hudson, Ayun Halliday, and Kerry Cohen, this assortment of authentic, shared experiences from parents at the fringe of the fringes is a partial antidote to the stories that misrepresent, ridicule, and objectify disabled kids and their parents.

Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood
PM Press 1604864818 / 9781604864816 PAPERBACK New
1604864818 Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood combines the best pieces from the award-winning zineRad Dad and from the blog Daddy Dialectic, two kindred publications that have tried to explore parenting as political territory. Both of these projects have pushed the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity of fathering. Today more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and struggle. With grace and honesty and strength, Rad Dad?s writers tackle all the issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities, beauties, and politics of the birth experience, the challenges of parenting on an equal basis with mothers, the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers, the emotions of sperm donation, and parental confrontations with war, violence, racism, and incarceration. Rad Dad is for every father out in the real world trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately revolutionary. Contributors Include: Steve Almond, Jack Amoureux, Mike Araujo, Mark Andersen, Jeff Chang, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jeff Conant, Sky Cosby, Jason Denzin, Cory Doctorow, Craig Elliott, Chip Gagnon, Keith Hennessy, David L. Hoyt, Simon Knapus, Ian MacKaye, Tomas Moniz, Zappa Montag, Raj Patel, Jeremy Adam Smith, Jason Sperber, Burke Stansbury, Shawn Taylor, Tata, Jeff West, and Mark Whiteley.

The Art of Conscious Parenting: The Natural Way to Give Birth, Bond with, and Raise Healthy Children
Fine, Jeffrey L. Healing Arts Press 159477322X / 9781594773228 PAPERBACK New
159477322X New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Pacific Northwest Independent Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 254 p. Audience: General/trade. A new approach to creating, rediscovering, and renewing the intimate bonds between parents and children Explains the importance of bonding with your child in utero and the physical and mental preparation needed even before conception Shows how green parenting--breast-feeding, contact with nature, and low-tech creativity--can enhance your child s life Art of Conscious Parenting won the 2010 Gold Nautilus Award for the best Parenting/Childcare book. Nautilus Awards recognize books that promote spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change, while at the same time stimulating the "imagination" and offer the reader "new possibilities" for a better life and a better world. Our first days and months of life are critical in forming the attitudes we bring into adulthood and in structuring the very roots of our personality. Simple bonding techniques--long forgotten in our modern world but stemming from the age-old customs of indigenous peoples--are at the core of a new model of conscious parenting that can produce happy and well-adjusted children. These practices also help parents experience an increased joy and intimacy both with their child and with each other. Based on obstetric and psychological evidence, Jeffrey and Dalit Fine reveal how bonding begins in utero and that the physical and mental preparation of both the father and mother, even before conception, sets the tone for the future well-being of the child. They show how sustained physical contact and simple ways of consciously interacting with your infant--eye contact with the newborn, baby-wearing instead of stroller use, and co-sleeping--have an observable positive effect. They also show that the green parenting practices of breast-feeding, contact with nature, and simple low-tech creative play not only provide a more hands-on and intimate approach to parenting but also are more economical and environmentally sustainable. From in-utero bonding through the challenges and joys of consciously.

The Essential Hip Mama: Writing from the Cutting Edge of Parenting (Live Girls)
Seal Press 1580051235 / 9781580051231 PAPERBACK New
1580051235 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 256 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. It's been over a decade since Ariel Gore, in a caffeine-induced brainstorm, invented Hip Mama as her senior project in college. zine that has grown up alongside Gore's daughter, has covered subjects from weaning to home schooling with a political edge and a puckish sense of humor. Essential Hip Mama captures the heart of a decade's worth of earthy, honest, soulful parenting and topics from circumcision to dating, abortion to the (mistaken) belief that mothers don't fart. Gore has gathered in one volume the whispers and conversations heard in homes, on playgrounds, and in coffeehouses around the country. Reassuring and hopeful, Essential Hip Mama is a brilliant testament that one becomes an expert simply through the act of mothering, echoing Gore's own words, Whenever I've needed parenting advice, I've put out a call for submissions. This paperback original offers the most hilarious and heart-wrenching essays from ten years of this quintessential alternative-parenting bible.
