ALL MOTHERS WORK - A guilt-free guide for the stay-at-home mom - by, Cindy Ramming
How to satisfy your financial and emotional needs when you decide to make parenting your full-time job.

I loved this book. Going from stay-at-home mom with out a part-time job to one who has a part-time job out of the house, I really could relate to this book. All the stereo-typing out there, it is no wonder we feel pressured. You stay home and you feel left out of the world, but if you work you feel left out of your kids' world. This book taught me that, no matter what your choices, we as woman have something to offer and need to be happy within our own skin.

 

Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent you Can Be
by Janet Levine

The Enneagram, a popular system of personality mapping, has helped
millions of people get a better understanding of their motivations,
talents, and problems. With this unique guide, Enneagram expert Janet
Levine applies the system to parenting-and shows people how to develop
richer, stronger, less stressful relationships with their children. A
simple test helps people discover their Enneagram parenting
type-Moralizer, Helper, Organizer, Dreamer, Observer, Questioner,
Entertainer, Protector, or Peacekeeper-which corresponds to one of the
nine standard Enneagram types. An insightful discussion of each parenting
type-including lots of practical tips on interacting with a child who has
a different type-helps people deepen communication, change self-defeating
behavior patterns, and encourage the flowering of a child's own
personality. Includes a section of points for further discussion.

About the Author
Janet Levine a writer and educator, presents workshops internationally.
She is also the author of The Enneagram Intelligences: Understanding
Personality for Effective Teaching and Learning and the founder and first
president of a professional organization of Enneagram teachers.

Check out the book at www.amazon.com or www.wiley.com or at bookstores
nationwide in February.

Early Praise for the Book
Janet Levine's newest book is to this generation of parents what Haim
Ginott's "Between Parent and Child" was to the '60s and Thomas Gordon's
"Parent Effectiveness Training" was to the '70s. This book addresses
people who have the most motivation to bring about change: parents. They
will find effective action strategies to promote greater understanding,
compassion and self-esteem for both parent and child. I highly recommend
this book to all parents.

Janet Levine has written a wonderful book. She has translated and applied
the material on personality typology in a manner which is cogent,
accessible and engaging for both clinicians and parents. This is an
extremely valuable resource for everyone who seeks to understand
parent-child interaction, and will help many individuals become more
empathic toward themselves and the ones they love.

Janet Levine's revolutionary and valuable new book directs readers to
specific action programs to make lasting improvements within their family
dynamics. It is clearly written, helpful and empowering; a must read for
all parents, would-be parents, and professionals who work with parents.
