The oceans cover more than two-thirds of its surface and constantly calls to us to play, explore, and dream. Our fascination with the sea is as endless as our means of enjoying it — whether building sand castles, navigating by the stars, or observing strange and beautiful marine creatures. In a volume brimming with information, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton capture the magic and majesty of the ocean with stunning words and pictures. Poems about manta rays, flying fish, and humpback whales mingle with verses about harbors, storms, and pearl divers. Glimpses of life in the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans flow into spreads about tropical islands, coral reefs, and ancient shipwrecks on the seabed. Teeming with colorful details, this treasure trove of knowledge will be pored over by adults and children alike, and its exploration of the vast mysteries of the sea will captivate readers for years to come.

Are you looking for ways to create a no drama home full of giggles and loud laughter while establishing safe boundaries and respect for family rules and values? If your answer is yes, then this is the right book for you. Anyone can be a parent, but one of life''s biggest challenges is to become a joyful, fair and respectful parent. Parenting is a skill that you learn along the way and, without a doubt, some people will find parenting easier than others. However, no matter how good you are at it, every parent will have good and bad moments in their parenting journey with many lessons to learn and factors to consider along the way. One point that parents can struggle with is toddler discipline. All toddlers need discipline not just to understand what is right and what is wrong, but also to raise responsible, confident and secure humans that feel loved and respected all the time but that also know when ''enough is enough''. Toddlers are egocentric little people that live in the present moment 100% of their time. Toddlers are so innocent in their mischievousness that they can make it very hard to enforce any discipline on them. So, it is either you know what you are doing or chances are your toddler will try to drive you insane. Also, one form of discipline may work on one toddler, but will be completely ineffective on another. This is because every child is different and there should be no comparison to other toddlers, parents and family''s situations. To have the right knowledge about toddlerhood and a clear and thoughtful vision about your discipline approach and the values that it fosters is crucial. This book covers the following topics: ✓ Evaluate those generational patterns and models ✓ Parental Stress Management ✓ How to be a positive and mindful parent and reach a guilt-free discipline ✓ The common mistakes that parents make and how to fix them ✓ Establishing respect ✓ Tools for more cooperative children ✓ How to coach siblings'' relationships and rivalry ✓ The importance of the right nutrition ...And Much More!
