Teenagers appear to be another species. And they show up with no manual (either \"operating\" or \"service\"). Because I Said So! provides that missing document. This is not a \"How-to\" book as much as a guide to developing your family's own \"how-to's.\" Each family has its own set of values, though we often share values that others hold. I have no interest in telling you what those values should be. I wish to share with you some of the guidelines I have discovered, observed, stumbled across, and learned the hard way during my work as a camp counselor, kindergarten teacher, teacher of adolescents in a psychiatric hospital, psychologist in a residential facility for children with behavioral, emotional, and mental health problems, school psychologist, and private practice psychologist working with children, teenagers, and families. What's the Big Idea? provides teenagers with similar guidelines, not to parent, but to live and improve their self care. I define \"Self Care\" as: having a good time; gaining understanding on how the way you feel affects the way you act; understanding how the way you feel and act affects others; understanding how the way others feel and act affects you; and getting better at identifying and sharing how you feel with those who care so much about you. All of us (parents and children) spend all of our time, attention, and energy trying to have things the way we want. The two primary sources of power towards having things the way we want: 1) Knowing how good (not \"good at\") we are; and 2) Keeping agreements with ourselves and others. Both books provide principles that enhance these power sources, support and encouragement to follow these principles and see for yourself.

Product Details Title: His Lady In Hiding: A Historical Romance Author: Jen Geigle Johnson Paperback: 272 pages Publisher: Covenant Communications, Inc. (April 1, 2020) Genre: Historical Romance Language: English ISBN-10: 1524410454 ***I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own*** Book Synopsis Lady Elizabeth Davenport is desperate. Her hand in marriage has been offered to the highest bidder, a distressing proposition in and of itself but made all the more repulsive when she meets her father’s first choice for her hand: Lord Pinweather. When her parents refuse to hear her pleas, Liz is forced to take drastic measures—she will impersonate her maid and begin anew in America on her own terms. Once on board the ship to America, another passenger, Lord Barton, almost immediately discovers her true status as a noble. After listening to Liz’s highly modified version of her life and her plans to begin again, Barton has compassion on her and teaches her how to abandon her noble mannerisms. Upon disembarking, however, Barton’s generous spirit quickly dampens when he discovers Liz has indeed found work—as his own head housekeeper. Suddenly, the tender feelings they hid from each other on the ship are inescapable, but their difference in station makes romance impossible. As misunderstandings abound and a shocking character from Liz’s past looms, she knows she can’t hide her true identity forever. But as her deception begins to unravel, will her charade cost her the man she loves? My Review His Lady In Hiding has so many good things that readers will love. You have a mystery of sorts, a wonderful adventure, a romance that is all wrapped up in one novel. Lady Elizabeth {"Liz"} Davenport finds herself being forced into a marriage with a very untasteful fellow, Lord Pinweather. In order to avoid the marriage, Liz disguises herself and boards a ship to America to be a housekeeper. Of course, this is when the real fun begins. While on the ship she meets Lord Anthony Barton, who saves Liz, (I'm not telling you what happens) now taking the name of Heidi. They become fast friends and maybe something more. It's really funny how Liz ends up taking the job of being Anthony's housekeeper. One thing I loved more than anything else, is that Liz has a hard time not showing her background as a Lady after being raised as part of the ton. Most people notice something different about her, but it doesn't stop Liz from showing courage and doing her job well. Anthony is torn about this new situation and about his feelings for the servant, "Heidi". There are many funny moments created from Liz's situation and many scary ones too, as she is still being sought out by Lord Pinweather. He takes the cake for the most annoying character in the novel! :) He was a dangerous and bothersome pest that wouldn't leave Liz alone. So...he was well written like many of the characters. I also loved how the author included a real-life character, Richard Allen and his wife Sarah. Richard Allen was a minister, educator, writer, and one of America's most active and influential black leaders. His home and church worked as part of The Underground Railroad. He has a very important part in the story. The house staff at Anthony's American house also had many lovable characters too. This Historical Romance is one that will not only entertain you, but will educate you too. I enjoyed the comparison between the aristocracy in England compared to America. There was only one part of the story near the end which I wish had been different, but I can see why the author had the story go the way it did. Never the less, readers will be happy about the outcome and the journey the characters traveled to get there.

Why should we avoid the authoritarian parenting style? Why not just say “Because, I Say So” and be done? What else can we say/do to get kids to listen?
