Becoming a parent can be both terrifying and exciting. You will have a million questions, from how to prepare for the birth to how to feed your baby to what to expect in terms of growth and what vaccines the baby needs. It can all be overwhelming. ''Helpful advice'' often ends up being confusing, and the internet can be a source of panic. During her thirty years of practice, paediatrician Dr Saroja Balan has met thousands of parents and found herself answering the same questions. While she firmly believes parenting is mostly learning on the job, she knows a little help goes a long way. Written specifically for Indian parents, It''s Your Baby is the best support to accompany you on your journey.

"WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK?""Why did God tell Adam to not only tend the Garden of Eden but to protect it?!Why would Adam need to protect sinless perfection, and from what? The Gatekeeper unfolds the clear and specific reason the creator God put the male species on plant Earth. The mystery of a man's eternal purpose in this life is explained - from the Scriptures, not the author's opinion. The "Why am I here" question is answered for every husband, father, fiancé, grandfather in a blend of biblical analysis and personal humor. What a man does is driven by why he was born - to function as the "Gatekeeper" of his family. This read will paint a clear picture and challenge men at their core. Once challenged, dear reader, you will take a unique journey into the portrait of a real Gatekeeper, his worldview, his assets, and his greatest enemies. So, who benefits from such a quest? The husband, the wife, who longs for covering and peace. The young man, who wants to know who he really is. The young woman who wants to find the "right one." The grandparents, who want to know how to effectively support and pray for their son, or son-in-law. Nobody raises the bar like Jesus. And nobody inspires and empowers us to reach it like Jesus! Think about it - would God create a man to be something that he didn't equip him to be? Everything is in a man's spiritual "DNA". This unusual book will unlock it, it's a journey like no other."

"I'm not sure how to help my child with schoolwork." "I see my child study for tests and not do well." "How much help is too much? Or Not enough?" As a parent, do you have questions like these? For students reading this book, have you ever thought: I studied all night and didn't do well on the test? Do you question why spending more time on schoolwork often does not reflect increased learning or higher grades?We all think we know how to study. Many of us have spent years in educational settings. Because we have learned, do we know how learning occurs? Often the answer is no. Fewer than 10% of students have parents who are certified educators. Where can the other 90% of parents go to find answers? If you are a student, where can you go to find out how to maximize learning while spending less time doing so? The answer is this guide. Patrice Bain has shown thousands of students with a wide range of abilities how to increase school performance. Having worked with cognitive scientists in the classroom for over half of her 25+ year teaching career, Bain knows how students learn and has developed strategies that increase memory, grades and retention of material. This book is not about fads or the latest shiny gadgets. Instead, this guide, based on rigorous research, gives the inside look into how all of us learn best. Filled with stories making learning relevant, and strategies to use at home, this guide will be like having a seat in Mrs. Bain's engaging classroom.

The must-have gift for dad this holiday season, in this memoir "a father shares the joys of fly-fishing with his daughters... A heartfelt, beautifully written celebration of the wonders of nature and comfort of family" (Kirkus STARRED)Fishing was Mark Hume’s passion since he was a young boy, a lifeline through a childhood marked by his family’s frequent moves. When he became a father, he knew he wanted to pass on his love of water, fishing, and the natural world to his daughters. Most of all, he wanted to give them hope for their future even as they were coming of age during uncertain times.As soon as they were old enough, Mark taught his girls how to read the water and see the patterns in nature. He showed them how to cast, how to catch fish and release them, and—only when needed—how to kill them. He discovered that fly fishing and fatherhood require many of the same skills: patience, flexibility, and the knowledge of when to reel in and when to let go.Illuminating and heartfelt, Reading the Water is a much-needed, positive story about a father raising daughters, and a meditation on finding faith in a deep connection with the natural world.

And while every teenager is a walking bundle of questions, three rise above the rest:- Who am I?- Where do I fit?- What difference can I make?Young people struggle to find satisfying and life-giving answers to these questions on their own.

Griffin offer pastors, youth leaders, mentors, and parents practical and proven conversations and connections that help teenagers answer their three biggest questions and reach their full potential.
