Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves will give you more clarity and peace of mind about:
1. How to give your boy the skills and confidence to resist peer pressure and the influence of unhealthy masculinity
2. The most effective way to stand up for himself without resorting to violence or losing his sweet nature
3. How to motivate your boy to tackle new and hard things without the nagging
4. How to get your son to tell you about his day and maintain a close and loving bond as he gets older
5. What to do about screens and porn
6. How to teach your boy to be respectful and to take responsibility for his actions without making him feel ashamed
7. How to give your boy the gift of rock-solid confidence and self-belief
With their trademark warmth, wit and positive outlook, Kasey Edwards and Dr Christopher Scanlon will help you build a strong foundation for your boy to maximise his potential and be ready for whatever life throws at him.
Practical, grounded in research and free of parental guilt, Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves is the indispensable guide to supporting boys to grow up to be emotionally intelligent, thriving young men."
"Nearly one in five girls aged 16-17 years meet the clinical criteria for depression.
One in fourteen young Australians (7%) aged 4-17 experienced an anxiety disorder.
These figures only get worse as our girls age with one in three women in Australia experiencing anxiety.
This indispensable guide will provide the tools to raising a girl who is happy and confident. Because when you raise a girl who likes herself, everything else follows.
> She will strive for excellence because she has faith in her ability to achieve it and the
confidence to pick herself up.
> She will nurture her physical and mental health because it's natural to care for something you love.
> She will insist on healthy relationships because she believes she deserves nothing less.
> She will be joyful and secure, knowing that her greatest friend and most capable ally is herself.
Packed with practical, evidence-based advice, Raising Girls Who Like Themselves details the seven qualities that enable girls to thrive and arm themselves against a world that tells them they are flawed.
1. A girl who likes herself has a power perspective
2. A girl who likes herself has body confidence
3. A girl who likes herself owns her body
4. A girl who likes herself is calm
5. A girl who likes herself is independent and masterful
6. A girl who likes herself has strong relationships
7. A girl who likes herself is herself
Free of parental guilt and grounded in research, Raising Girls Who Like Themselves is imbued with the warmth and wit of a mum and dad who are in the same parenting trenches as you, fighting for their daughters' futures.

"How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of his immensely influential economic philosophy—one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. The result is an accessible text that has sold well over half a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and shows every sign of becoming more and more influential as time goes on.
This updated edition includes a new preface by the author."
"Approved by the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, the US Constitution was to become law only if ratified by nine of the thirteen states then comprising the United States. The eighty-five letters in support of the Constitution collected here have become recognized as the most important political science work ever written in the United States. Written primarily by Hamilton, assisted by Madison and Jay, these essays are considered to be the foremost commentary on the US Constitution. Today lawyers, historians, and Supreme Court Judges, along with countless others, carefully comb these letters looking for key insights ranging from their analysis of the power of congress to their arguments on behalf of judicial review. From what we can determine, ours is the only unabridged recording to date."
"First published in 1776, this work is the classic statement of economic liberalism or the policy of laissez-faire and is widely considered on of the hundred greatest books of all time. Several fundamental principles or "axioms" were introduced in this work, including the division of labor, supply and demand, and free market capitalism as some of the most obvious. Smith's political economy is primarily individualistic: self-interest is the incentive for economic action. However, he shows that universal pursuit of self-interest contributes to the public interest, a concept probably best encapsulated by John F. Kennedy when he remarked, "a rising tide raises all boats.""
"This is the book that launched Buckley's career—and a movement. As a young recent graduate, Buckley took on Yale's professional and administrative staffs, citing their hypocritical withdrawal from the tenets upon which the institution was built. Yale was founded on the belief that God exists, and thus virtue and individualism represent immutable cornerstones of education. But when Buckley wrote this scathing expos├®, the institution had made an about-face: Yale was expounding collectivism and agnosticism. This classic work shows Buckley as he ever was: dauntless, venturesome, bold, and valiant.
More than half a century later, experience the extraordinary work that began the modern conservative movement."
"Among other things, Benjamin Franklin was a printer, philosopher, inventor, statesman, and not least, a writer. Franklin's writings span a long and distinguished career of literary, scientific, and political inquiry—the work of a man whose life lasted for nearly all of the eighteenth century and whose achievements ranged from inventing the lightning rod to publishing Poor Richard's Almanac to signing the Declaration of Independence.His autobiography captures the essence of his spirit, and in it we can see him as a product of the eighteenth-century enlightenment, a type of Yankee statesman who could use the language of Addison, Steele, Swift, and Defoe. In his autobiography, Franklin asks himself, 'Who am I, how did I come to be, and why am I a human being as I am?' and he answers with the honesty, wit, and charm that have made this possibly the most famous of all autobiographies.
This isan intimate look at the life of one of American history's most notable figures."
