Showing results for "almost-english" in Parenting & Families

In all the writing and reporting KJ Dell'Antonia has done on families over the years, one topic keeps coming up again and again: parents crave a greater sense of happiness in their daily lives. In this optimistic, solution-packed book, KJ asks: How can we change our family life so that it is full of the joy we'd always hoped for? Drawing from the latest research and interviews with families, KJ discovers that it's possible to do more by doing less, and make our family life a refuge and pleasure, rather than another stress point in a hectic day.

Fourteen-year-old Benny Neusner wants only one thing more than a dog: for his neglectful mother to be proud of him. He hasn't given up on impressing his mother, but a dog is out of the question. His father and stepmother will never permit it. They don't understand how lonely he is. He is not a brain like the other kids in his therapeutic school, and nothing he's tried has ever worked out for him. Benny meets Bess Rutledge, a 70-year-old woman who has dreamed of winning the Westminster Dog Show all her life.

This show is dedicated to my good friend that I've known since 7th grade that is starting her family as my first child is turning 10. I'm sharing my insights and stories so she can listen in at 3am (living hundreds of miles away) when the baby isn't sleeping, or when the anxiety takes hold and you just need to know you're not alone. I hope these stories bring comfort and solidarity to all moms and moms-to-be out there!
