Current childrearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured and unafraid to speak their minds—lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in the area of behavior disorders. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence and individuality.Raising Lions challenges us to re-examine our interactions and relationships with children, re-think the root causes of behavior problems and find new ways to support healthy, happy development.Over the past 20 years Joe Newman has worked with children, parents, teachers and therapists to help children overcome behavior problems. Based on Joe’s experience and the behavior protocols he developed, Raising Lions is an invaluable resource for any parent. For people considering, or already using, medication to correct their child’s behavior problems, for parents with young children who want to avoid future problems, and for teachers who deal with growing numbers of willful and disruptive students, Raising Lions will prove to be indispensible. About the author:Forty years ago Joe Newman, M.A.O.M., was the “behavior problem” child. When his mother would bring him to the playground the other mothers would gather their children and leave. Defiant, difficult to control, physically aggressive and unable to sit still, in 1970 he was diagnosed as A.D.H.D. and put on Ritalin. Today he trains parents, teachers and behavior specialists in the powerful methods he’s developed to heal behavior problem children. He lives in Santa Monica, California with his wife Julie and his stepdaughter Joan.“Raising Lions is a must read for anyone who has ever had a child, or works with children with behavior problems.” - Temi Treibach, Director of Behavior Services, Exceptional Children Foundation “I sincerely believe that crossing paths with Joe Newman saved my daughter and my family as a whole.” - Stacy Lewis, mother“I’ve found Joe Newman’s methods to be an ideal solution to behavior management in the classroom.” - Ryan Turner, teacher

Growing up, making choices, being responsible for yourself and the choices we all make might seem everyday to some, but for 12-year-old Sandy, it is a new and liberating experience.Sandy has grown up under the influence of her widower, rugby-coach father and her athletic older sister Roxie. When her father and sister go to England for a rugby tournament, they leave Sandy in the care of her three great aunts, referred to in family lore as the “weird sisters.” The mysterious Weird Sisters have not been seen in years; or so Dad says. Each of the aunts espouses a different faith -- Catholicism, Mormonism, and Unitarianism -- and yet they respect and support each others' practice, while Sandy views them as the outside seeker of truth she truly is. Sandy enrolls in a literature course, dance classes, and winds up in a community musical production, abandoning the girls’ soccer team with which she is supposed to be playing. During her three weeks with her aunts, and never having attended any religious services before, she takes part in services and activities at each of her aunts’ churches, finding things that she admires as well as things that confuse her. Her identity of self is to be forged during these three weeks -- striking while the metal is hot, so to speak -- an identity that she will take the remainder of her life to fashion and finish.Reading level of 10+ to adult.

There, above all, he himself will be found, with his intellectual power, his poetical vision, as well as his moral and spiritual integrity. Nothing can constitute for us, still today, and maybe today more than ever, such a powerful introduction to what Christianity may give to and expect from our surrender to its call in the midst of a world no longer pretending to be Christian." - Fr. Louis Bouyer, C.O.
