They're Your Kids
Summary
Is school for your kids a resounding success? For most of us, education was an uncomfortable process of sitting in stifling classrooms, listening to tedious lectures, struggling over stressful exams, and feeling like we were wasting our time and energy. There were class clowns, ruthless bullies, teacher’s pets, popular kids, and students no one wanted to be around. What if we admitted to ourselves that the public school system is tragically flawed, instead of blindly relying on the same misguided, decrepit bureaucracy for our precious children? “Because that’s how I grew up,” just doesn’t cut it anymore. Our children deserve better than to be institutionalized in an education system developed during the Industrial Age. Once you understand the disintegration behind the classroom door, the solution becomes clear. This book then guides you through implementing a better educational approach for your family - one that is tried and true. Sam’s extraordinary story, her discoveries, challenges, and triumphs will encourage you to embrace the wonderful benefits and incredible possibilities of home education for your beloved children. Concerned for the future of your children? Think you can’t homeschool because you work full-time? Frustrated with your child’s so-called teachers? Anxious about schoolyard bullies? Too scared to even consider homeschooling your children? Be a hero to your children, skip the school drop-off lines and fundraisers, and enjoy a better kind of parent-teacher meeting - the one in the mirror! This audiobook can show you how.

Toxic Relationship
Summary
Do you live through relationships with a deep sense of unease? Are you nervous and worried? Can't you express yourself freely with your partner? These are all common symptoms of someone trapped in a toxic relationship. Love is the most addictive feeling of all. Some more, some less, we are all dependent on the attention, gestures, and small things that the person we love gives us. For this reason, in every respectable relationship, relying on the partner and sharing moments of joy and pain with him or her are the necessary conditions to build a solid relationship. Yet it often happens that we have the perception that we always dedicate our time only to the partner. At the unconscious level, we are convinced that the love we feel for him/her is directly proportional to how much time and space we dedicate to the partner, while on the other hand, we do not realize that day after day we lose the most important thing we have: our freedom. Have you ever wondered how much time your spend on yourself? Have you ever wondered how much importance you have in your relationship? In the first phase of falling in love, it is a common attitude to immerse oneself 100% in the new relationship. We are overwhelmed by a powerful hurricane of emotions, and our only thought is to devote as much time as possible to the person we love. But all this is not normal and can become very dangerous when this type of attitude continues even after the phase of falling in love. Do you ever feel misunderstood or even diminished when you try to express your thoughts? Have you ever wanted to have your own space outside the couple and had a frightened or angry reaction from your partner? If you see yourself in just one of these examples, you have finally found a book for you. You see, many people think that loving a person always means putting that person first. In reality, true love is born when first of all we love ourselves. Only in this way will we be able to give the best of ourselves in a couple relationship, only in this way will we be able to love and make ourselves loved as we really deserve. The ultimate goal of any relationship is to feel good about ourselves to make the partner happy while respecting his/her individuality. What can we do to get out of a toxic relationship? What are the practical strategies to get out of it definitively or help the partner to overcome his limits in love? In this book: You'll recognize the signs that characterize a toxic relationship. You will recognize the characteristics that people most likely to fall into a toxic relationship have in common. You'll understand why we're stuck even though we realize we're in a toxic relationship. You will learn how to help your partner to live a more peaceful relationship. Knowing how to act may be the best way to go with your partner to avoid separation. You will learn to understand when there is nothing more to do and in the most extreme case to say enough, so that you can take charge of your life and live it as you deserve. The author of this book, in each chapter, will provide you with the necessary tools that will accompany you step by step in search of knowledge. It will help you really understand what a toxic relationship is, what the consequences of living with it are, and what strategies should be applied to get out of it. If you've come this far, it means this book is for you. Buy it now! I wish you a good relationship with serenity and joy. To your life!

Dark Psychology Secrets
Summary
Warning: This book contains life changing truths for unconventional thinkers. This book is not recommended for the faint-hearted. Ever since has the ability to influence minds and hearts been one of the most powerful forces in human interactions and so has the knowledge of influencing and manipulating been a well kept secret never taught in schools and rarely shared in books. Many people walk through life never realizing the constant stream of manipulation they are exposed to, leaving them blind to the red flags of emotional exploitation. Dark psychology is one of the most powerful and, in the wrong hand, incredibly dangerous psychological knowledge anyone could possess. With that being said, author Patrick Lightman reveals in his new book “Dark Psychology Secrets” some of the most powerful techniques eagerly used by those who are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. After listening to this book you’ll view the world with different eyes capable to see what’s happening behind the scenes: Eye opening insights how people manipulate and get manipulated Instantly uncover and disarm toxic personalities Collection of most dangerous techniques and how to detect them on the spot Case studies and DIY awareness tests in each chapter Protect you and your loved ones from severe mental damage You’ll attain an understanding of human nature that only a few have ever obtained. But once you entered the world of dark psychology, there is no coming back.

Sereni a tavola
Summary
Perché il mio bambino non mangia? Perché non ha mai appetito? Perché l'ora dei pasti deve essere una sofferenza? Queste sono solo alcune delle domande che, tipicamente, ogni genitore si pone non solo quando si comincia a proporre cibi solidi, ma sin dalla nascita del piccolo. Il pediatra Lucio Piermarini, autore del libro Io mi svezzo da solo!, risponde a questi e molti altri dubbi partendo da un dato di fatto: il bambino sano inappetente non esiste. Lo stereotipo ben consolidato che vuole che i piccoli non mangino mai abbastanza è la conseguenza del mancato riconoscimento della capacità di autoregolare la nostra alimentazione in base ai bisogni del nostro corpo sin dal primo giorno di vita. Con il conforto di solide basi scientifiche, di un'esperienza trentennale e di uno stile linguistico coinvolgente e alla portata di tutti, l'autore spiega i meccanismi di regolazione dell'appetito, i legami tra i primi giorni di vita e le epoche successive, il tema negletto del diritto dei bambini all'autodeterminazione, i risultati della ricerca in ambito alimentare, il ruolo dell'alimentazione a richiesta come chiave per consentire ai piccoli di sviluppare la propria autonomia e l'amore per il cibo. Non solo: grazie a una serie di testimonianze, raccolte in tanti anni di attività professionale, il dottor Piermarini illustra problematiche reali, analizzando i vissuti dei genitori, i meccanismi reattivi dei bambini, la genesi degli errori educativi, e si addentra nei casi fornendo suggerimenti specifici. Un libro che non vuole porsi come un manuale di nutrizione infantile, ma come una guida per i genitori a capire meglio il proprio bambino e a dargli la possibilità di crescere sereno, rispettando le sue istintive, naturali predisposizioni.
