Review & Description

Every parenting book has the same information: suggested shopping lists to prepare for the baby, advice on how to choose a pediatrician, and the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations on feeding and sleeping. All of this is great information, but you will find none of it in this book.

Have you ever discovered a little trick to make something much easier? Then you think to yourself, "Man, I wish I figured this out months ago! I could have saved myself so much time and energy!" Well, you are in luck! This book is full of these tricks, discovered by actual parents, most of the time after several weeks or months of frustration and trial and error.

Now, every baby and parent is different, of course, but hopefully most of these tricks will help make you and your baby's lives a little bit easier.

Congratulations on your little bundle of joy! Cherish every moment, even the frustrating ones. It really does go by way too fast!

By Peyton Price

Buy new: $2.99

First tagged by Peyton Price
Customer tags: teen, tweens, parenting, boys, moms, haiku, humor

Review & Description

From the Author:

You remember haiku. A three line poem with seventeen syllables—five, then seven, then five. Suburban Haiku: Boys to Men is a collection of more than seventy humorous and heart touching haiku describing a year in the life of two growing boys and their beleaguered parents. It's also our family’s version of a photo album. Flip through quickly and you'll see it happening: boys becoming men.

What others are saying about Suburban Haiku: Boys to Men:

"Peyton Price's 'Boys to Men' collection captures that boyish spirit wrapped in smelly teen feet and boyish pranks. It also captures those tender moments when you can see the man he would be peeking through the impish grin. All this in a succinct, powerful 17 syllables. She'll have you holding your gut from laughing over one haiku, and sniffling back a tear over the next. Peyton has a brilliant sense of timing, humor, and humanity. A short, fun read that will leave an impression longer than three lines might suggest. This book is a perfect gift for mothers, fathers, and brothers of sons. Maybe even those sons. Make it a gift you give to yourself, too. You don't want to miss out." —Nicole Leigh Shaw, Humorist/Blogger, NinjaMomBlog.com and NickMom.com

"In 'Boys to Men', Peyton Price combines her impeccable timing and wit with the poetic moments of a life mothering boys. Plus, you can read the entire book in one episode of Pokemon."—Ann Imig, Stay-At-Home Humorist and National Director of LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER

"I had no idea that haiku could be so relatable. So funny. So moving. Yet Peyton Price delivers the goods, amusing me over and over again. Her latest collection, 'Boys to Men,' starts snappy and fun and then sneakily grabs your heart with sweet insights. As she watches her boys stretch taller, talk deeper, we watch Peyton grow as a writer and mother. From beginning to end, this book was a joy to read." —Kim, Writer and Blogger, Let Me Start By Saying. . .

"Whether it's capturing a poignant moment, or making a humorous situation laugh-out-loud funny, Peyton Price's representation of family life in the form of haiku is spot-on. She has inspired me to read haiku more. Hers, that is. Who knew that a boy's coming-of-age experiences could be written in such fine 5-7-5 form?"—Rhonda Franz, Managing Editor, ParentingSquad.com

How far would you go to avoid eating your vegetables? A young boy thinks he’s discovered a way out of eating his peas—he makes a bargain with a fiendishly funny monster. First the deal is simple: the monster will eat the boy’s peas in exchange for his soccer ball. But with each new encounter, the monster’s demands escalate. Eventually, our hero faces a daunting decision—can he conquer his loathing for peas or will he lose his most prized possession?

Matt FaulknerÂ’s uproariously detailed illustrations and Danny SchnitzleinÂ’s Seuss-inspired verse combine to create a clever story about how far we are willing to go to avoid doing the things we hate. Read more

Review & Description

Written as a handbook for new or aspiring parents, What’s It Take To Make A Man? proposes a bold, even visionary approach to solving the twin problems of boys with little purpose and families with little connection. The book provides a practical, comprehensive road map for the rebirth of real Manhood and Family-hood. Just as the Women’s Movement forever dispelled the notion of women as second class, What’s It Take To Make A Man? will lead the simmering parent revolt against pop culture’s degradation of young men and their character.

With engaging chapter titles like "The Hole In The Soul Generation" and "Raising vs. Nurturing,"  What’s It Take To Make A Man? gets right to the point, in a common sense style that is inclusive of all boys, no matter what their sexual preference, or even their parents’ gender or relationship.Over 132,000 American teens attempted suicide in a recent year. Boys were five times more likely to try than girls. Boys are seven times more likely to drop out of school before age 18, and are joining gangs at alarming rates. By any measure, our boys are timed out, disengaged, and failing fast. Most have no idea of their obligation, or even their option, to become Men of character.Written as a handbook for new or aspiring parents, What’s It Take To Make A Man? proposes a bold, even visionary approach to solving the twin problems of boys with little purpose and families with little connection.

Review & Description

As a nurse hands Christina Borysowki her newborn daughter, joy? lls the new mother's heart. With wonder, she lovingly admires the baby she has named Hope. Her body tingles with excitement and fear. Hours later, Hope's eyes finally open to reveal spectacular turquoise irises. At that moment, she has no idea that months later, the sparkle and life will abandon those beautiful eyes, the gaze will turn inward, and Hope will lose all interest in the world. Years later, things cannot get any worse for Christina Borysowski and her profoundly autistic daughter. With Hope destined for a future that promises nothing but bleakness, isolation, and likely institutionalization, Christina is already well aware she is paddling alone against the strong tides of prejudice, misunderstanding, and fear. To compound matters, there is much more at stake than just Hope's well-being. Christina is barely hanging on. In a desperate quest to find peace for both Hope and herself, Christina is left with an agonizing choice that will deter-mine the future for both of them. In this eye-opening and poignant story about autism and its tragic human cost, one woman takes an unimaginable journey through hopelessness to discover an intense love that drives her to make the unthinkable a reality.

Moshe Kai, throughout the book WE CAN DO, tries to emphasize that he is not a genius and any youngster, with good planning, a strong heart, hard work, and a resilient mind staying afloat during the ups and downs of life, can succeed beyond any expectations.

The book includes his code of conduct with his advice of do's and don'ts, how to finish school in an earlier time, and what he sees in the future. Read more

Review & Description

Parenting is a school for spiritual formation---and our children are our teachers. The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children will profoundly alter us forever. Sacred Parenting is unlike any other parenting book you have ever read. This is not a 'how-to' book that teaches you ways to discipline your kids or help them achieve their full potential. Instead of discussing how parents can change their kids, Sacred Parenting turns the tables and demonstrates how God uses our kids to change us. You've read all the method books. Now take a step back and receive some much-needed inspiration. You'll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parent---and how their children transformed their relationship with God. Sacred Parenting affirms the spiritual value of being a parent, showing you the holy potential of the parent-child relationship. Read more
