We're looking for something related to working or parenting postively a child -- our nephew actually-- who is, or appears to be, just so fully charged with energy, not of the positive type, rather the rebellious and confrontational type to his parents, even at the age of 6.5, his parents are certainly looking for good advice. The boy's teachers made comments about his lack of social skills. He seems mostly challenging to his parents, not as much when around uncles, aunts, during holidays and birthday parties. We care so much about our little newphew but we're not in a 'easy' position to speak to our dear relatives on how to help or anything, as we don't they would accept advice easily, even if well-intended. What books or advice can you recommend at this time? I know we've only provided a small glimpse of the story, however, if something comes sort of naturally to your minds as tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Again keep doing what you're doing with your podcasts as well your web services, and wishing you a most prosperous and healthy 2011 ! Archie and Rebecca Hi, nice to find you on the Web Amy and Lisa —

I'm wondering if you have any thoughts that you could share in the show on something like a "family contract". In a quick Google, most links relate to rules about behaviour (e.g. no hitting, no name-calling). I'm more interested in having a set of philosophies that a family agrees represents them and guides their lifestyle (e.g. vegetarianism, Christianity, minimalism, parenting style, community obligations, treatment of others, etc.) and why they have chosen/believe in them. My husband and I have long discussions at times, but I think we'd both benefit from having our conclusions formally recorded so that we could refer to them in times of doubt or conflict (and of course change them as a family when we change). By the way, my children are 4, 2, and 1, so I'm hoping to gently start a habit of family meetings soon, but their involvement in our family contract will be minimal at this point. Many thanks, - Linda, mum of three - Dunedin, New Zealand Hi Amy and Lisa,

I was having technical difficulties today (both phone and internet!) and had to miss the end of the show. I *really* got a lot of what you said earlier about helping foster their friendship and about having a tool or two in my pocket (for real or in theory!) to pull out when situations occur where I need help. Heading to listen to the whole thing from start to finish uninterrupted -- thanks again! THANK YOU!

I read this review and have now looked through some of her website. I'm deciding whether to order one or more of her books, but thought I'd check in with you first to see if maybe I missed an interview with her on your show. http://www.internationalfamilymag.com/may09/youcanhealyourchild.htm http://drmelrose.com/ Amy, do you and Lisa have any connection with Dr. Reggie Melrose?
