Límites saludables para tu adolescente: Pautas basadas en el amor y la disciplina
by June Hunt Jody CapehartEstablecemos límites para nuestros hijos porque queremos mantenerlos sanos y salvos, y queremos enseñarles a tomar buenas decisiones. Si bien los límites pueden cambiar a medida que nuestros hijos vayan creciendo, la necesidad de ellos es la misma. Los padres necesitan consejos para navegar por los escenarios complejos y difíciles que puedan surgir con sus hijos adolescentes.June Hunt y Jody Capehart proporcionan esta clase de asesoramiento en Límites saludables para tu adolescente. Basándose en principios bíblicos, enseñan a los padres a establecer límites apropiados en cuatro áreas críticas de la vida de un adolescente: en casa y en la escuela, y en su vida personal y social. Cada capítulo se inicia con un escenario de la vida real seguido de consejos específicos sobre qué decir y las medidas disciplinarias a tomar, si las hubiera, con su hijo. Práctico y realista en sus pautas, el libro muestra continuamente cómo la disciplina y los límites son catalizadores útiles para sanas relaciones en la familia.We provide our children with boundaries because we want to keep them safe and we want to teach them to make good decisions.

Drawing on biblical principles, they show parents how to provide appropriate boundaries in the critical areas of a teen's life: at home and at school, in both their personal and social lives. Each chapter opens with a real-life scenario followed by concrete advice on what to say and what disciplinary action, if any, to take with your teen. Practical and realistic in its tone, the book continually shows how discipline and boundaries are helpful catalysts for healthy bonding.

Aquest llibre et permetrà descobrir el perquè dels límits, i t'ajudarà, a més, a anar dins teu per descobrir la base que et donarà estructura i claredat: els teus propis límits.

Ma Speaks Up: And a First-Generation Daughter Talks Back
by Marianne LeoneThe acclaimed actress and author of Jesse: A Mother’s Story tells the story of her outspoken, frequently outrageous Italian immigrant mother.Marianne Leone’s Ma is in many senses a larger-than-life character, one who might be capable, even from the afterlife, of shattering expectations. Born on a farm in Italy, Linda finds her way to the United States under dark circumstances, having escaped a forced marriage to a much older man, and marries a good Italian boy. She never has full command of English, especially when questioned by authorities, and when she is suddenly widowed with three young children, she has few options. To her daughter’s horror and misery, she becomes the school lunch lady.Ma Speaks Up is a record of growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, with the wrong family, in the wrong religion. Though Marianne’s girlhood is flooded with shame, it’s equally packed with adventure, love, great cooking, and, above all, humor. The extremely premature birth of Marianne’s beloved son, Jesse, bonds mother and daughter in ways she couldn’t have imagined. The stories she tells will speak to anyone who has struggled with outsider status in any form and, of course, to mothers and their blemished, cherished girls.
