Big Kid: For When You're Feeling Small in a Big, Big World by Janice Robinson-Celeste Pdf

Come along on a journey through the jungle to the Jurassic Age, and onto the big city to learn that you're bigger than you know. This book is for young children who might be feeling small in a big, big world. The book's concept comes from a public speaking technique that professionals use before speaking to a crowd. When you're feeling intimidated, instead imagine yourself as something bigger to feel empowered so that you can handle anything. Whether it's dealing with bullying, anxiety or family problems, children often need this type of empowerment and encouragement to manage in a big and tough world. In addition, because of the simple storyline and repetition, young children can easily 'read' the book and recognize simple words, which helps them develop necessary pre-reading skills. Big Kid helps young children with social-emotional growth and contributes to positive mental health. Read the book whenever your child is feeling helpless and needs to be empowered. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: The producer, Janice Robinson-Celeste is an early childhood specialist, a mom, former parent educator, and daycare owner, published parenting author, owner of Ethnic Animations, and is the publisher of Successful Black Parenting magazine.

Writers and Age by Esther Harriott Pdf

Since 1900, the average life expectancy in the developed world has almost doubled, from 45 to 80. “We are almost a new species,” declared the English writer V.S. Pritchett, while pointing out that this means “most of us have to face the prospect of a long old age before we die.” Pritchett is one of five great writers—along with Stanley Kunitz, Doris Lessing, Mavis Gallant and Russell Baker—whose novels, short stories, poems and essays about old age, written in old age, are examined in this book. Born between 1900 (Pritchett) and 1925 (Baker), these writers are members of the first generation of the 20th century, and of the first generation of writers able to write about old age from experience. In their later works we read about growing old as reported by the old, not as imagined by the young and middle-aged. They wrote about old age not as a discrete stage of life, but as a continuation—another context in which to pursue the themes of their earlier poems, novels, stories and essays. And those who had written about love—a central theme of fiction and poetry—now wrote about love in old age.

Can You See Me? by Gokce Irten Pdf

For kids starting to think about their place in the world, here’s a unique look at point of view. Being small — or big — is not always what we think it is! We all know which things are big, and which are small, right? But do we really? Or do things look different, depending on who’s doing the looking? For example, to a human, an orangutan is small like a child. But to a flea, it’s gigantic! Here’s a quirky and original introduction to the idea of perspective and the importance of recognizing that each of us has our own way of seeing things. Kids who feel too small — or too big — in the world will be happy to learn: Size is in the eye of the beholder!

Shame and Pride: Affect, Sex, and the Birth of the Self by Donald L. Nathanson Pdf

This is a revolutionary book about the nature of emotion, about the way emotions are triggered in our private moments, in our relations with others, and by our biology. Drawing on every theme of the modern life sciences, Donald Nathanson shows how nine basic affects—interest-excitement, enjoyment-joy, surprise-startle, fear-terror, distress-anguish, anger-rage, dissmell, disgust, and shame-humiliation—not only determine how we feel but shape our very sense of self. For too long those who explain emotional discomfort on the basis of lived experience and those who blame chemistry have been at loggerheads. As Dr. Nathanson shows, chemicals and illnesses can affect our mood just as surely as an uncomfortable memory or a stern rebuke. Linking for the first time the affect theory of the pioneering researcher Silvan S. Thomkins with the entire world of biology, medicine, psychology, psychotherapy, religion, and the social sciences, Dr. Nathanson presents a completely new understanding of all emotion.

I Found My Tribe by Ruth Fitzmaurice Pdf

A transformative, euphoric memoir about finding solace in the unexpected for readers of H is for Hawk, It's Not Yet Dark, and When Breath Becomes Air. Ruth's tribe are her lively children and her filmmaker and author husband Simon Fitzmaurice who has ALS and can only communicate with his eyes. Ruth's other "tribe" are the friends who gather at the cove in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, and regularly throw themselves into the freezing cold water, just for kicks. The Tragic Wives' Swimming Club, as they jokingly call themselves, meet to cope with the extreme challenges life puts in their way, not to mention the monster waves rolling over the horizon. Swimming is just one of the daily coping strategies as Ruth fights to preserve the strong but now silent connection with her husband. As she tells the story of their marriage, from diagnosis to their long-standing precarious situation, Ruth also charts her passion for swimming in the wild Irish Sea--culminating in a midnight swim under the full moon on her wedding anniversary. An invocation to all of us to love as hard as we can, and live even harder, I Found My Tribe is an urgent and uplifting letter to a husband, family, friends, the natural world, and the brightness of life.
