About this listen
This short part is for you moms and dads that are dealing with the common fears of children from about two to seven years of age. The fears that your child goes through are normal; just relax and let Grandpa help. Its pretty normal for children to go through phases, being afraid of different things at different times. Alli and I will deal with the most common: monsters, the dark, clowns or people in costume, insects, medicine, and shots. They develop because you're doing a good job of exposing your children to the world around them, but as Tamar Chansky (Freeing Your Child from Anxiety) states clearly that a preschoolers imagination is really blossoming, and he can often concoct some scary explanations for things that hes not sure about.

Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it's easy to lose track of where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects at the playground (What if my kid likes to rough house - isn't this ok as long as no one gets hurt? And what if my kid just doesn't feel like sharing?). In this inspiring and enlightening book, Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down "the rules" to raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids.

That's the question that has haunted 14-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he's not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower - a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel's micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl.
