Dr Justine Dobson
In the course of her work as a cranial osteopath, Dr Dobson discovered that the most effective cranial changes were achieved by working with babies. Helped by the work of other pioneering cranial therapists, painstaking investigations have made possible the reclaiming of an ancient tradition, but this time based on fact and science. Immediately accessible for parents and the lay-reader, this is also an important manual for health practitioners.

Steve Biddulph
It is natural and instinctive to want our children to be happy but, in an increasingly competitive, pressurised and materialistic society, more and more parents lose sight of what is important to achieve this. Much of what is written in this book is plain common sense - of the sort one needs constantly to be reminded. Biddulph dispels the assumptions most of us have about good parenting and advocates a much more intense, caring, and community-building approach to a happier life for you and your kids. Biddulph, who has worked with families for over twenty years, shares his insight about what works - and what doesn’t - and offers inspirational ideas and advice for day-to-day living with your children. This is a combined volume of two previously published books (The Secrets of Happy Children and More Secrets of Happy Children), and it covers the period from babyhood to teens.

Jonathan Goldman
“Imagine floating on the surface of the ocean, letting the sound of waves gently relax you. A flock of seagulls passes overhead as you begin to hear the strong, slow heartbeat of the Earth Mother. In the distance, you become aware of the rolling Om of the Earth Father, as a choir of angels begins to sing an ancient melody, lulling you into deeper peace. Dolphins appear and surround you, laughing and playing. You lie there, receiving the sound energy from these very special messengers of light and love, bathing in the wonderment that is life. This is the purpose of Dolphin Dreams.” - Jonathan Goldman. Specifically designed by healing music specialist Goldman for meditators, pregnant women, birthing women and infants.

Alice Miller
Miller explores the sources of violence within ourselves and the way these are encouraged by orthodox childrearing practices. Challenging the way in which we rationalise punishment and coercion as being for the child's "own good", she illuminates the cost in compassion and humanity in later life.

Brandon Bays
This text introduces a young boy called Johnny who goes on a magical journey with a special angel in a space pod. The angel takes Johnny on a trip through his own body where they whizz about landing wherever the space pod takes them. Finding a sore, inflamed patch in his throat and landing there to investigate, Johnny uncovers an old memory of being separated from his mother on holiday, and of how scared and upset he was. The angel guides him to a campfire and they play back a videotape of exactly what happened and how Johnny felt about it. Using brightly coloured balloons, which represent courage, wisdom, humour, trust, the ability to ask for help and love, they help Johnny to rewrite the scene and dissolve his fears about abandonment. Through this text, Brandon Bays offers a healing experience that is designed to allow your child to feel more comfortable with their emotions and help them to understand and be less afraid of their feelings.
