But rather than look at the minutae of these relationships, journalist Susan Scarf Merrell examines the big issues that all siblings wrestle with in their own unique ways *in particular the Three Cs: Competition, Cooperation, and Comparison. What she discovered was that no matter what kind of relationship we now have with our siblings *close or distant, loving or hostile *our histories with them exert a profound effect on our current relationship with lovers, friends, coworkers, and our own children. Drawing on the most current research; the work of psychologists, psychiatrists, and family experts; and stories from brothers and sisters themselves, Merrell illustrates that through siblings, we come to know both the worst and the very best that lurks within each of us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Susan Merrell brilliantly illuminates how the peculiar mix of biology, history, and intimacy makes our attachments to siblings so essential to knowing ourselves.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; *Mary Kay Blakely&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Author of American Mom&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Now child care expert Nancy Samalin, who has earned a reputation for her forgiving and empowering approach to parenting, brings her inspiring outlook to this guide to the pitfalls and rewards of parenting two or more children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Parents who consider themselves pros after the first child are in for a surprise when the encounter life after the second child is born and beyond.

Culled from her years of workshops with hundreds of parents, Nancy Samalin shares the trials and joys of parenthood and provides specific advice on steering your way through the parenting rapids. This is a must-read for today's harried parents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Suddenly you find yourself at the cusp of one of the most important transitions in your life&amp;mdash;and the life of your family. Your parents need you and your siblings to step up and take care of them, a little or a lot. To make the right things happen, you will all need to work together. And yet your siblings may have very different ideas from yours of what&amp;rsquo;s best for Mom and Dad. They may be completely uninterested in helping, leaving you with all the responsibility. Or they may take charge and not allow you to help, or criticize whatever help you do give. Will you and your siblings be able to reach an understanding and work together, or will the challenges you face tear you apart?&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Most of us enter this period of our lives unprepared for the difficult decisions and delicate negotiations that lie ahead. This is the first book that provides guidance on the transition from the &amp;ldquo;old&amp;rdquo; family to the &amp;ldquo;new&amp;rdquo; one, especially for adult siblings. Here you&amp;rsquo;ll find practical advice on a wide range of topics including&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; Who will make major medical decisions, manage finances, and enforce end-of-life choices if your parents cannot? And how will this be decided and carried out?&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; How will you negotiate caregiving issues and deal with unequal contributions or power struggles?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; How can inheritance and the division of property, assets, and personal effects be handled to minimize hurt feelings and resentment?&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; How will you cope with the natural reemergence of unresolved childhood rivalries, hurts, and needs?&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; How can caring for your parents be an enriching experience rather than a thankless chore?&lt;br&gt;&amp;bull; Most important, how can you ensure the best care for your parents while lessening conflict, guilt, anger, and angst? &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Written by a veteran journalist who chronicles life and how baby boomers live it, &lt;b&gt;They&amp;rsquo;re Your Parents, Too!&lt;/b&gt; offers all the information, insight, and advice you&amp;rsquo;ll need to make productive choices as you and your siblings begin to assume your parents&amp;rsquo; place as the decision-making generation of your family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Filled with expert guidance from gerontologists, family therapists, elder-care attorneys, financial planners, and health workers; resonant real-life stories; and helpful family negotiation techniques, this is an indispensable book for anyone whose parents are aging.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Boys will always be boys&amp;#8211;rambunctious, adventurous, and curious, climbing trees, building forts, playing tackle football, and pushing their growing bodies to the limit as part of the rite of passage into manhood. But today our sons face an increasingly hostile world that doesn&amp;#8217;t value the high-spirited, magical nature of boys. In a collective call to let our boys be boys, Dr. Meg Meeker explores the secrets to boyhood, including&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; why rules and boundaries are crucial&amp;#8211;and why boys feel lost without them&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; how the outdoors is still the best playground, offering the sense of adventure that only Mother Nature can provide&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; the essential ways to preserve a boy&amp;#8217;s innocence (and help him grow up)&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; the pitfalls moms and dads face when talking to their sons&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; why moody and rebellious boys are not normal&amp;#8211;and how to address such behavior&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; how and when the &amp;#8220;big&amp;#8221; questions in life should be discussed: why he is here, what his purpose is, and why he is important&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Parents are blessed with intuition and heart, but raising sons is a daunting responsibility. This uplifting guide makes the job a little easier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

But if that&amp;#8217;s the case, why do so many siblings often diverge widely in social status, wealth, and education? In this groundbreaking and meticulously researched book, acclaimed sociologist Dalton Conley shatters our notions of how our childhoods affect us, and why we become who we are. Economic and social inequality among adult siblings is not the exception, Conley asserts, but the norm: over half of all inequality is &lt;i&gt;within&lt;/i&gt; families, not &lt;i&gt;between&lt;/i&gt; them. And it is each family&amp;#8217;s own &amp;#8220;pecking order&amp;#8221; that helps to foster such disparities.  Moving beyond traditionally accepted theories such as birth order or genetics to explain family dynamics, Conley instead draws upon three major studies to explore the impact of larger social forces that shape each family and the individuals within it.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From Bill and Roger Clinton to the stories of hundreds of average Americans, here we are introduced to an America where class identity is ever changing and where siblings cannot necessarily follow the same paths. This is a book that will forever alter our idea of family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Kids frequently face peer rejection, name-calling, bullying, after-school fights, esteem-crushing cliques, and malicious exclusion by the popular kids. And parents often feel powerless to console their children. Now help is here. &lt;i&gt;Mom, They&amp;#8217;re Teasing Me &lt;/i&gt;is a specific, hands-on guide for concerned parents who want to give their children the tools they need to cope with social cruelty. Through vividly written case studies and a reader-friendly question-and-answer format, this compelling book shows parents what a child may confront with other children, and then offers concrete advice on handling each situation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mom, They&amp;#8217;re Teasing Me&lt;/i&gt; deals in-depth with specific aspects of social cruelty: the four major types of children at risk for social isolation and their unique problems; the ordinary pain of those children &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; at risk&amp;#8212;but who, nevertheless, cause their parents concern; and bad class dynamics in the school and neighborhood. Through thoughtful discussion and insightful suggestions, parents will discover&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; The difference between real risk and normal social pain&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; The appropriate time to intervene&amp;#8212;and when to step back&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; Tips on how to mediate between children&amp;#8212;without appearing meddlesome&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; Essential advice for parents who worry too much&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; The importance of teaching and encouraging leadership&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8226; The redemptive power of friendship&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mom, They&amp;#8217;re Teasing Me&lt;/i&gt; answers key questions on the many manifestations of social cruelty, offers compelling descriptions of prime &amp;#8220;teasing&amp;#8221; scenarios, and illustrates how to counter them. It is an indispensable book for every involved parent who wants to make their child&amp;#8217;s formative years rich and rewarding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

But rather than look at the minutae of these relationships, journalist Susan Scarf Merrell examines the big issues that all siblings wrestle with in their own unique ways *in particular the Three Cs: Competition, Cooperation, and Comparison. What she discovered was that no matter what kind of relationship we now have with our siblings *close or distant, loving or hostile *our histories with them exert a profound effect on our current relationship with lovers, friends, coworkers, and our own children. Drawing on the most current research; the work of psychologists, psychiatrists, and family experts; and stories from brothers and sisters themselves, Merrell illustrates that through siblings, we come to know both the worst and the very best that lurks within each of us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Susan Merrell brilliantly illuminates how the peculiar mix of biology, history, and intimacy makes our attachments to siblings so essential to knowing ourselves.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; *Mary Kay Blakely&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Author of American Mom&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Now child care expert Nancy Samalin, who has earned a reputation for her forgiving and empowering approach to parenting, brings her inspiring outlook to this guide to the pitfalls and rewards of parenting two or more children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Parents who consider themselves pros after the first child are in for a surprise when the encounter life after the second child is born and beyond. Suddenly their world is an exhausting haze of competing demands, perpetual squabbling, sibling rivalry, complaints of unfairness and &amp;quot;you love him more&amp;quot; (and sometimes you do), unrelenting stress, and a pervasive sense of guilt and inadequacy. Culled from her years of workshops with hundreds of parents, Nancy Samalin shares the trials and joys of parenthood and provides specific advice on steering your way through the parenting rapids. This is a must-read for today's harried parents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
