Today''s ''culture of cool'' has changed the way kids grow up. Rather than enjoying innocent childhoods while developing strong, authentic characters, today''s kids can become cynical - even jaded - as they absorb the dangerous messages and harmful influences of a dominant popular culture that encourages materialism, high-risk behaviour and a state of pseudo-adulthood.Author and mother of four, Marybeth Hicks, suggests an alternative: bringing up geeks. In this groundbreaking book, she shows parents how they can help their children gain the enthusiasm to pursue their passions, not just the latest fashions; the confidence to resist peer pressure and destructive behaviour; the love of learning that helps them excel at school and in life; and the maturity to value family as well as friends, as well as make good moral decisions.With a foundation","brand":"Penguin Putnam Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733754720599,"sku":"9780425221563","price":11.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780425221563.jpg?v=1720001532"},{"product_id":"french-parents-dont-give-in-9780552779302","title":"French Parents Dont Give In","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePamela Druckerman is the author of  the  number one \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eFrench Children Don't Throw Food (\u003c\/i\u003epublished in the US as \u003ci\u003eBringing Up Béb\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eé\u003c\/i\u003e), which has been translated into 27 languages\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is also a Contributing Opinion Writer for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.

Donnie Kanter Winokur and her husband, Harvey, never could have imagined the heart-wrenching struggle that becomes their new reality after they decide to adopt two infants from Russia. As Iyal and Morasha grow, it becomes clear that Iyal’s development is drastically lagging behind his sister’s. By age four, he has a devastating diagnosis: fetal alcohol syndrome. But naming their battle provides little relief as Iyal and his family try to cope with the lifelong impact of his invisible disability. As the Winokurs’ marriage is unraveling, Donnie and Harvey hang on to the last shreds of their own promise.  Desperate to alleviate her son’s constant rages and their crushing toll on the family, Donnie comes up with an innovative, untested, four-pawed solution: a golden retriever service dog named Chancer. Chancer is specially trained to give Iyal a unique love he desperately needs. But in this true-life tale infused with moments of despair, tenderness, and humor, Chancer turns out to be what the entire family has needed to stay—and grow—together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The story of how Chancer helped the Winokurs and their son heal and grow closer is poignant and heartwarming. But what makes the book especially important is the frank way the author illuminates an underdiscussed disorder that affects as many as one child in twenty in the United States. An honest, informative, and uplifting memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews   “This unique and candid memoir will be a helpful contribution.” —Library Journal  “This is a heartwarming story of a childless couple who adopted two babies from Russia…Along the way, the story also shines a light on FAS, an under-discussed disorder. This new memoir is both illuminating and poignant.” —The Bark  “What a story! What a dog! Winokur’s memoir is a testament to the power of love, family, and friendship.” —Jennifer S. Holland, author of the New York Times bestselling series Unlikely Friendships  “Here, in a courageous and tenderly told mother’s memoir, is the inside story of parents who brought home their darling dream child from a Russian orphanage. In time—though still their precious, cherished child—the boy exhibited severe and irreversible cognitive and behavioral disabilities. In despair, in free fall, the parents grabbed for a lifeline. When the lifeline turned out to be attached to a shaggy four-legged big-hearted golden retriever, their life took an irreversible turn for the better.” —Melissa Fay Greene, author of The Underdogs: Children, Dogs, and the Power of Unconditional Love    “Chancer is a moving and elegantly written memoir about marriage, motherhood, and a faithful dog who saves the day. Winokur has an elegant voice, and her humor fills even the most harrowing moments with hope. While this is a very personal tale, anyone who has ever been a parent, a partner, or a dog lover will relate.” —Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, author of Devoted and Loyal  “Just as dogs lead soldiers safely across bomb-laden battlegrounds, the stalwart and brave Chancer leads his boy through daunting battles with fetal alcohol syndrome—saving not just the boy, but his entire family. An absorbing, hopeful memoir full of unlikely heroes.” —Maria Goodavage, author of New York Times bestsellers Soldier Dogs, Top Dog, and Secret Service Dogs  “As the partner of a golden retriever guide dog, I was intrigued with the thought that a golden could effectively work with a boy born with fetal alcohol syndrome. The book, Chancer, did not disappoint. Donnie Winokur writes from the heart about her family’s struggle to address their son’s lifelong diagnosis and how Chancer, a well-trained, happy-go-lucky service dog lends his talents to calm their son and bring comfort to the whole family. It’s an honest view of disability, and the magic of a dog’s warmth and attention.
