P ARENTING 

 Y OUR CHILDREN A RE LISTENING: NINE MESSAGES THEY 

NEED TO HEAR FROM Y OU  Jim Taylor, PhD 

Children become the messages they get the most— but parents often forget toconsider the messages their attitudes and behavior send to their children. Your Children Are Listening illustrates the value of parenting “on message,” andreveals the many ways parents (often unwittingly) send messages to theirchildren—and the ways children can misunderstand them. Dr. Jim Taylorshares nine positive messages—on competence, generosity, love, safety,gratitude, environment, respect, responsibility, and emotion—that form the

 basis of a happy, well-adjusted life.

  A fresh way for parents to evaluate and practice what is best fortheir children.

 Equips parents to persevere when their children don‟t seem to belistening, don‟t “get the message,” or do the opposite of what was asked.

 Jasmin Lee Cori, MS, LPC 

Children who are “undermothered” often become adults who, decades later,still feel they don‟t have the support they need, have trouble forming intimaterelationships, and have an unmet need to be nurtured. In The Emotionally

A working mother with ten years of experience cooking without wheat,milk, eggs, soy, and nuts, she gives readers more than 80 simple, flexible, anddelicious recipes—non-allergenic Cranberry Orange Scones, English Muffins,Chocolate Mousse, and more. She also includes simple ways to adapt favoriterecipes for allergen-free results and anecdotes of her own experiences dealing

 with the discovery and diagnosis of her own and her son‟s food allergies.

  Addresses widespread problem: Food allergies are becoming morecommon in children every year, and the EMBO Journal , published by 

 Nature, reports that with increased globalization, allergies are more likely tospread across the world. 

 Especially for those who must eliminate allergens overnight: Afterdiagnosis, parents must revamp their family‟s eating habits, and this book‟sadvice, simple recipes, and flexibility allow for a fast, smooth transition.
