Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Anna's Friends: A Parent's Guide to Understanding What Motivates Your Child, you will learn why your children respond to life the way they do. You will learn why they get along with some children really well and others not so well, why some barely speak 10 sentences in a day and others are boisterous or flamboyant. You will see why they gravitate toward certain vocations. And, you will see that just because they came from the union of the egg and sperm they may not necessarily be a carbon copy of the two parents. Do you know that we are all born with god given gifts that motivate us to love? Imagine the impact on our children's lives if we could truly guide them in the direction they were born to go in (Proverbs 22:6)! Anna's Friends is a children's book series showing the interaction between seven friends, each with one of the seven motivational gifts found in Romans 12:6-8. Check out the Anna's Friends Books for your children. These books are a MUST for parents and caregivers of children. Here's what your child will discover in the Anna's Friends inspirational books for children (along with some really great stories): How children deal with bullies How children deal with death How children interact with kids not like them How children work together on projects Do you know your child's motivations? Why some children are talkative and others are quiet Why some children love animals, especially dogs Why some children like to get up in front of the class but others are terrified to Why some children like to be by themselves and others love to be with their friends And MUCH more! About the books: Book #1 - The Assignment - Introduces the reader to all seven of Anna's friends. Anna is a delightful and energetic child, who is always thinking ahead for projects she can do to include her friends in. You will meet Anna the facilitator, Maria the giver, Hiro the exhorter, Daniel the prophet, Sarah the teacher, Cayden the mercy giver, and Jesse the server and learn about the motivational gifts based on how they each interact with each other. Book #2 - Anna's Friends Save the Animal Shelter - Join Anna as she organizes an animal beauty contest to raise money to save the local animal shelter. She lets all of her friends help by giving them jobs to do based on their gifts that their school teacher helps them discover. You will learn the character traits of the child with the gift of facilitation / leadership. Book #3 - The Hayride - Maria is a very likeable girl in this fun filled book that takes us on a series of scenario's. From confronting a bully to entering the pumpkin contest at the Fall Festival and meeting Joshua and Sophie, you will see a tug on Maria's heart strings that ignite her gift of giving. Maria does not like to see others cheat or do things wrong. See how she deals with these matters in "The Hayride." Book #4 - Hiro Plays Tiny Tim - Hiro gets a role as Tiny Tim at the local Shakespeare Festival. This high energy, loveable boy will keep you laughing. He is a real encourager to his friends and loves to tease them. That sometimes gets him in trouble but that's okay with Hiro. He loves the attention. Hiro is an exhorter - an encourager. Books #5 - #8 are coming soon In the Anna's Friends book series, this clan of friends interact with one another in a multitude of life scenarios that children will be able to relate to. You may find your child connecting with a character that most resembles them. This enables children to learn what motivates and inspires them as well. For example: in Anna's Friends Save the Animal Shelter the story revolves around Anna, the facilitator. There is a list of character traits at the end of the book that Anna exhibits in the story helping children with the same gift as her understand if they have the same gift. And so forth."

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 USA Book News International Book Award for Parenting and Family In this inspiring book, Dr. Shimi Kang, a Harvard-trained child and adult psychiatrist and an expert in human motivation, provides a guide to the art and science of encouraging children to develop their own internal drive and a lifelong love of learning. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, Dr. Kang shows why pushy, hovering "tiger parents" and permissive "jellyfish parents" actually hinder self-motivation. She proposes a powerful new parenting model: the intelligent, joyful, highly social dolphin. Dolphin parents focus on maintaining balance in their children's lives to compassionately yet authoritatively guide them toward lasting health, happiness, and success. The mother of three children and the daughter of immigrant parents who struggled to give their children the "best" in life—Dr. Kang's mother could not read, her father taught her math while they drove around in his taxicab, and she was never enrolled in a single extracurricular activity—Dr. Kang argues that often the simplest "benefits" parents give their children are the most valuable. Combining irrefutable science with unforgettable real-life stories, The Self-Motivated Kid walks readers through Dr. Kang's four-part method for cultivating self-motivation. She argues that by trusting our deepest intuition about what is best for our kids, we will allow them to develop key traits—adaptability, community-mindedness, creativity, and critical thinking—to empower them to succeed and thrive in our increasingly competitive and complex world.

Our children are navigating a world that in many crucial ways is quite different from the one that existed in 2007. The new Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children includes issues of social media, screen time, LGBTQ, and bullying. For gifted children however, many of the needs remain the same- advocacy, educational planning, access to true peers, and more. Rich in information and strategies, this edition will be referred to time and time again whether you are entirely new to gifted, completing your “active” parenting days, or supporting a gifted grandchild, student, or client.
