Bringing Up Geeks
How to Protect Your Kid's Childhood in a Grow-up-too-fast World
Picture
Today's "culture of cool" has changed the way kids grow up. Rather than enjoying innocent childhoods while developing strong, authentic characters, kids can become cynical—even jaded— by popular culture that encourages materialism, high-risk behaviors, and a state of pseudo-adulthood. In this groundbreaking book, Marybeth argues that raising uncool kids is actually the path toward successful, well-adjusted, and cool adults.

Teachable Moments
Using Everyday Encounters with Media and Culture to Instill Conscience, Character and Faith
Picture
Each day, concerned parents find themselves facing uncomfortable moments in which they must brave cultural land mines with their kids. Teachable Moments focuses on six important areas in family life: family, media, friendship, school, sports and the real world, and breaks down the common teachable moments within each area, giving parents clear guidance in how to navigate them. Chapters close with a proposed “lesson plan” for parents to move forward with purpose.
