“Our mothers are our first teachers, and we teach others the same lessons we learn from them.” Caroline Kennedy

Mama Needs A Minute by Nicole Sloan

October 31, 2021 by NTE Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about bodily autonomy, caregiving (specific to this book, it’s mothering, but it’s not always), and – if you’re a caregiver of a small child especially, why you laughed out loud at the beginning of this sentence. It’s because MOST small children have zero concept of personal space or bodily autonomy, have no problem being attached to their favorite humans 24/7, and would be deeply offended by the idea that their favorite humans might feel differently. Enter Mama Needs A Minute by Nicole Sloan. […]

How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes

How to teach your kids to build a “better, fairer, stronger world”

How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes by Melinda Wenner Moyer

August 15, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 3 Comments

CBR13Bingo: Pandemic Because if there’s anything I learned during the pandemic, it’s parenting my little gremlins is hard work and I need all the help I can get! While I wouldn’t consider myself a stellar parent by any measure, I enjoy reading about parenting studies and generally try to do my best for my kids. So I picked this up not expecting to learn too much new information, only to be completely gobsmacked by how much of my general liberal parenting knowledge was completely wrong – […]

Horizontal is just the way some of us live

Horizontal Parenting How to Entertain Your Kid While Lying Down by Michelle Woo

July 27, 2021 by NTE 2 Comments

Guys: I don’t even know how to explain to you how validating this book is.  I’ve been helping raise kids, while also living with chronic debilitating illnesses & disabilities for 27 years now.  Very often, that raising occurs from a horizontal position, out of necessity.  Oh, today we’re have vertigo for no goddamn reason? Great day to play Auntie NTE is the troll under the bridge who won’t let you pass. Oh, goodie, the treatment I had last week that was supposed to only have 1 […]

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish

May 19, 2021 by Leslie Leave a Comment

I have heard of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk a few times, so I knew it was something of a classic in parenting literature. I didn’t know how much of a classic, however, until I read some of the example scenarios. “Just you touch that lamp once more and you’ll get a smack!” is listed as an example of how threats don’t work, and while I agree, I cannot imagine a parenting book in 2021 even acknowledging that […]

What Happened to You by James Catchpole

Love Makes A Family by Sophie Beer

Kindness Makes Us Stronger by Sophie Beer

April 22, 2021 by NTE Leave a Comment

When I think about the kids we’re raising, as a whole right now, I’m so goddamn hopeful for the future that I can’t even really express it, for fear of losing my “unaffected internet witch” cool points (Note: I do not actually have any of those points). But it’s true: I have been a part of raising the children in my life for 25-ish years now, and – as the aunt of two adult niblings, a couple of teenage ones, and a handful of under […]

As an aunt of an autistic nephew I’ve used some of the tricks and plan on using others.

Little Victories by Yvon Roy

March 17, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I started Little Victories by Yvon Roy on a Saturday and because it was not an easy read (subject and the presentation is weighty), finished it on Sunday. After I was done, I knew three things: I was going to have to get a copy for my sister and cousin, I was going to write a long review and I was not sure how to recommend this book so that it would be “publisher friendly.” I mean, I liked it, but I did not like […]
