Story
Over the past several years, Dr. Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as “Dr. Becky”—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them. Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn’t work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans.

Did you know that 81 percent of Gen Z teens experienced more intense stress during the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent disruptions in school and social settings? The combination of school, digital, social, and family stressors alone puts teens and young adults at risk for depression, anxiety, and even suicide. The old advice of "just deal with it" didn't work then, and it sure doesn't help now.

Instead of being merely the receiver of the parents' psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents' development. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction. In Dr. Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self.

Afraid of embarrassment, afraid of being laughed at, being misunderstood, not being cool or clever enough, too fat, too thin. You feel you look different, so you think you can’t fit in.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

Story
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. To raise a happy child that wants to behave, you need to retrain yourself first. You need to change the way you think and react to their behavior. You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

Ditch your teen anxieties to become the best version of yourself and face the future with confidence and excitement! It’s hard to be a teenager. You’re expected to act like an adult, but you’re still at the mercy of parents and teachers who treat you like a child. You feel pressured to live up to the label that others have given you, when in your heart you know that’s not really who you are. So many other things make your teen years painful–falling in love and not being loved back, feeling you’re not good enough, being awkward when what you really want is to be the coolest kid in the room….

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
On his 11th birthday, Jackson is nervous about moving up to middle school where he knows he'll be bullied by older kids, so he makes his wish, "I don't want to grow up!" When his 12th birthday rolls around, he discovers his wish came true: he's still 11, and he's starting fifth grade (again). At first, this is the perfect life. Jackson is the smartest kid in his class, the best on his baseball team, and the star of the school band. But after a few years of being eleven, he realizes his life is passing him by.

Story
Whether you’re a sunling or an earthling, growing up isn’t easy. Shy nine-year-old Gustafer Yellowgold has to grapple with neighborhood bullies, an over-achieving brother, and parental expectations just like kids on Earth do. He would rather lose himself in comic books and dream the day away than make deliveries for his father’s raisin-butchering business after school. Fateful events put Gustafer at his ultimate crossroad when he sees a darker opportunity to control his own destiny on the Sun.

Story
On a dark, wintry day, Eliza Grey receives a mysterious letter from her ailing Nana Mora begging her to come for a visit. This is an easy "Yes". Eliza has always preferred Nana Mora's beach cottage on St. Simons Island to the apartment she and her mom call home in the city. The island is a magical place where stories and legends grow as thick as the Spanish moss dangling in the trees. Now, Nana Mora's eyesight is fading, and there's something she wants to show Eliza before it’s totally gone: a mythical place locals refer to as Sirens Harbor.

Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices.

Speaks effectively to teens (and adults!)
I’m an off-and-on meditator who has struggled to get my tween and teen kids interested in mindfulness despite the clear and present need for these tools in their daily lives.
What parent doesn’t wish their teenager could pull up a level, recognize their emotional swings, and learn some self-regulation?
While there is no panacea for teenage mood swings, Catherine Singer’s lovingly written and beautifully performed work is a step in the right direction that was tolerated (perhaps even truly appreciated!) by my son and daughter.
There are few resources for teenagers in this genre, and I say bravo to Ms. Singer for this thoughtful and enjoyable contribution!
...and did I mention that I’ve listened to a number of the chapters more than once myself!

Something everyone can use in their lives
I wish I would have known about mindfulness and these tricks when I was very young and going through high school and college. This is something that everyone can use not just then, but for the rest of their lives.

An indispensable gift!
Press Pause is an indispensable gift for youth and adults alike! It is more crucial than ever to have a means to settle into the present moment as our modern world spins off its axis.
Set up in bite-sized chapters one can easily chose a meditation and step away from the pressures of the day or the fluctuations of the mind.
Catherine Singer is an experienced and steady teacher who skillfully leads us through mindfulness techniques while grounding the listener in the current science.
My students often request a guided meditation for when they are at home. I now have a valuable resource to recommend!

Calming Voice and Useful Tactics
I listened to this for the first time, after an emotional day at work to calm down my nerves. It really helped me to let go of my issues and brought clarity to me. I recommend this if you are someone who is constantly overthinking and hold on to the past. Sometimes you need someone to help you walk through your difficult times and this audiobook does it for you!
