Bid on this inspiring collection of parenting books by Dr. Bill and Martha Sears.  This collection features the following autographed books:

The Successful Child Book -- Combining anecdotes and advice, the Searses provide examples of what it is to raise an emotionally intelligent child, and explore the hurdles of raising children in an overstressed, media-saturated, and affluent society. As there is no single plan for any one family, the Searses show the range of ways a parent can retain a child's trust and wield a positive influence as their child matures, highlighting various parenting strategies and the families who used them to raise compassionate, independent, and resourceful children.

For those who have raised their babies and toddlers on the advice of the Sears Parenting Library, this book will take them one step further along the journey. By following the advice laid out in this book, parents can see that the bonds they have nurtured since infancy will provide the anchor that will ground their children through the challenging teen years and into adulthood. 268 pages


The Family Nutrition Book --  Bill and Martha present a comprehensive health plan they call their L.E.A.N.. program, which stands for lifestyle, exercise, attitude, and nutrition, the four keys to optimal health and well-being. They explain how different body types metabolize food differently and discuss ways to trim fats from children's diets. Finally, they include some nutritious and easy recipes that will enable any parent to plan healthy meals for the whole family.  432 pages

The Discipline Book -- With focus on preventing behavior problems as well as managing them when they arise, the Searses offer clear, practical advice on everything parents need to know about disciplining young children. Believing that discipline starts at birth, the Searses discuss baby discipline, disciplining the toddler, mother-father roles in modern parenting, saying no, self-esteem as the foundation of good behavior, helping a child to express feelings, the constructive use of anger, good nutrition for good behavior, and sleep discipline.

On handling problem behavior, the Searses cover sibling rivalry, spanking and alternatives to spanking, breaking annoying habits, and eliminating bothersome behaviors like whining and talking back. The Searses strongly advocate teaching children values like apologizing and sharing, and explain how to deal with such issues as lying, stealing, and cheating. In addition, the Searses address building healthy sexuality and discipline in special situations such as after divorce and in the single-parent household.  328 pages

These books are a must have for any parent's home library!
