The world our kids are growing up in is very different to the world we grew up in. The gap is so much wider than between us and our parents. We grew up with nothing, so our parents worked hard to give us everything.. Our own generation's motto of "we deserve everything" has turned its greedy eyes to our kids, and they stand no chance. Right now, they are fending for themselves, in a world that sees only one outcome for them. Victims of greed. Unless us parents do something about it. We now need to work hard to protect our kids from our ourselves... Authors Sharny and Julius combine their years of expertise coaching junior sport as well as the compassion that comes with having their own 5 children, to bring a book that the world needs right now. This book will help any parent wanting a no bull blueprint for creating perfectly balanced, fit, healthy happy kids.

All parents want their kids to be healthy, but don’t always know how to accomplish that. With this book I hope to encourage, inspire, and give a helping hand to anyone who wants their family to live a healthier life with more physical activity and healthier choices and together, become a fitter, healthier and happier Super Family.

Teaches children all about keeping healthy and includes questions to encourage them to think about what they have read.

The cover of this book suggests it is a diet book. Or a weight loss book. It is so much more than that. It is a first hand account of a mother, who through societal pressure felt she had messed up her first 3 births (and kids). Share Sharny's journey as she tells you how she went from being the slave in her life, feeling trapped as though she were in a coffin called "bad parenting", with each new birth, she felt like she was driving a nail of failure on herself. Too tired to function, not enough milk, etc etc. All she wanted to be was the perfect mother to her children, but through lack of confidence, stopped listening to her intuition and became her worst enemy. With baby number 4, she decided to do things differently, very differently. Through ignoring society, listening to her inner voice and really focussing on herself as a mother, she turned her life around. She changed her eating to be for wellness and best quality breastmilk, and as a result lost 24kg in 8 weeks. But if that's all you get from the book, you only read the cover. Inside is a treasure trove of advice, and the courageous story of a public figure who through honesty to herself, turned her life around in a way that any woman can relate. And benefit.

If you think your chubby child will outgrow his or her weight, think again. Today's world of fast food and sedentary pastimes does little to encourage physical activity and healthy eating. One in four children in this country is unhealthily overweight, and the physical and emotional costs will shorten his or her life. But there's good news: Parents can take charge -- and Trim Kids shows how. This easy-to-use, scientifically tested plan helps children achieve a healthy weight -- and have fun doing it. Written by a team of medical experts with over fifteen years of experience helping overweight kids, this book will help you reverse the vicious circle of childhood obesity. Trim Kids is a unique twelve-week plan that gives parents and children a positive, safe initial approach to lifetime weight management. Each week, parents and kids together will practice scientifically proven ways to increase daily activity and will set (and celebrate!) achievable eating and exercise goals. Children will learn kid-specific exercises especially designed for their weight levels, and the family will enjoy dozens of menu plans with tasty, nutritious, kid-tested recipes. You'll discover easy nutrition strategies -- including shopping lists and dining-out tips -- perfect for busy caregivers, and you'll learn how to coach your child in well-established behavioral strategies for making healthier lifestyle choices away from home. The Trim Kids Program is based on the fifteen-year success of one of the only multidisciplinary team approaches in the world for preventing and treating childhood obesity, an approach that has been featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, and 48 Hours and in USA Today, Ladies' Home Journal, and elsewhere. No matter why your child is overweight, this book -- and its twelve-week plan -- will provide the support you need to ensure success. Soon, the whole family will be practicing new, healthier nutrition and activity habits.

This combination parenting and personal finance book helps parents teach their children key money skills--such as saving, spending, budgeting, investing, building credit, and donating--that they'll need to become financially secure adults. In this updated edition of Raising Financially Fit Kids, Joline Godfrey shares knowledge gleaned from two decades of preparing children and families for financial independence and stewardship, philanthropic effectiveness, and meaningful economic lives. At the heart of the book are three big ideas: • Financial education is not just about the money; it’s about building great families and raising self-confident kids who have the tools to realize their dreams. • Financial sustainability means living within one’s means and acquiring skills to create and manage human and financial capital. • Giving wisely is a global citizen’s responsibility. Designed for parents, grandparents, mentors, advisors, and educators, Raising Financially Fit Kids uses ten core money skills applied across five developmental life stages: children, tweens, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and twenty-somethings. Each stage includes age-appropriate activities that make financial fitness fun, from mall scavenger hunts to financial film festivals. In this global economic landscape, we all need financial fluency. Whether your child is five, fifteen, or twenty-five years old, it’s never too late to teach financial literacy. Raising Financially Fit Kids prepares your children for the complexities of living in a global economy and helps your family up your game from good to great.

With all the parenting information out there and the constant pressure to be the “perfect” parent, it seems as if many parents have lost track of one very important piece of the parenting puzzle: raising happy kids. Parenting today has gotten far too complicated. It’s never been the easiest job in the world, but with all the “parenting advice” parents are met with at every corner, it’s hard not to become bewildered. It seems that in the past it was a good deal simpler. You made sure there was dinner on the table and the kids got to school on time and no one set anything on fire, and you called it a success. But today everybody has a different method for dealing with the madness--attachment parenting, free-range parenting, mindful parenting. And who is to say one is more right or better than another? How do you choose? The truth is that whatever drumbeat you march to, all parents would agree that we just want our kids to be happy. It seems like a no-brainer, right? But in the face of all the many parenting theories out there, happiness feels like it has become incidental. That’s where The Happy Kid Handbook by child and adolescent psychotherapist and parenting expert Katie Hurley comes in. She shows parents how happiness is the key to raising confident, capable children. It’s not about giving in every time your child wants something so they won’t feel bad when you say no, or making sure that they’re taking that art class, and the ballet class, and the soccer class (to help with their creativity and their coordination and all that excess energy). Happiness is about parenting the individual, because not every child is the same, and not every child will respond to parenting the same way. By exploring the differences among introverts, extroverts, and everything in between, this definitive guide to parenting offers parents the specific strategies they need to meet their child exactly where he or she needs to be met from a social-emotional perspective. A back-to-basics guide to parenting, The Happy Kid Handbook is a must-have for any parent hoping to be the best parent they can be.
