Tiny Humans, Big Lessons by Sue Ludwig Pdf

What if you cared for your life the way the NICU cares for its patients? Imagine standing over a newborn and whispering, “I hope you work your fingers to the bone chasing someone else’s notion of the ‘good life’ until you’re so exhausted you don’t remember who you are or why you matter.” It’s unthinkable. Yet that’s where many of us find ourselves as adults: depleted, feeling stuck, and certain that life’s opportunities have passed us by. Isn’t it time we treated ourselves with more care? In this remarkable book of personal and professional transformation, Sue Ludwig, a neonatal therapist, shares how her tiny patients in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) guided her to step off her hamster wheel of existence and into a new way of living. Through real patient stories, reflection, and practical tools, she reveals how, by following the lead of these in her care, she found her way to a more vibrant, purposeful, and impactful life than she ever imagined possible—and how you can, too. You can break out of survival mode, take charge of your energy, and redirect it toward development and growth—just as Ludwig’s fragile NICU patients do. Moment by moment, baby step by baby step, chapter by chapter, you’ll come to see that your energy and potential aren’t gone. They’re not even lost. They’re simply waiting for you to reclaim them.

Free Days With George by Colin Campbell Pdf

A heartwarming, true story about George, a rescue dog who helps his owner rediscover love and happiness. Marley & Me meets Tuesdays with Morrie and The Art of Racing in the Rain--get your tissues ready, animal lovers! After Colin Campbell went on a short business trip abroad, he returned home to discover his wife of many years had moved out. No explanations. No second chances. She was gone and wasn’t coming back. Shocked and heartbroken, Colin fell into a spiral of depression and loneliness. Soon after, a friend told Colin about a dog in need of rescue—a neglected 140-pound Newfoundland Landseer, a breed renowned for its friendly nature and remarkable swimming abilities. Colin adopted the traumatized dog, brought him home and named him George. Both man and dog were heartbroken and lacking trust, but together, they learned how to share a space, how to socialize, and most of all, how to overcome their bad experiences. At the same time, Colin relived childhood memories of his beloved grandfather, a decorated war hero and a man who gave him hope when he needed it most. Then everything changed. Colin was offered a great new job in Los Angeles, California. He took George with him and the pair began a new life together on the sunny beaches around L.A. George became a fixture in his Hermosa Beach neighborhood, attracting attention and giving affection to everyone he met, warming hearts both young and old. Meanwhile, Colin headed to the beach to rekindle his love for surfing, but when George encountered the ocean and a surfboard for the first time, he did a surprising thing—he jumped right on the board. Through surfing, George and Colin began a life-altering adventure and a deep healing process that brought them back to life. As their story took them to exciting new heights, Colin learned how to follow George’s lead, discovering that he may have rescued George but that in the end, it was George who rescued him. Free Days with George is an uplifting, inspirational story about the healing power of animals, and about leaving the past behind to embrace love, hope and happiness.

Tiny Humans, Big Emotions by Alyssa Gloria Campbell,Alyssa Blask Campbell,Lauren Elizabeth Stauble Pdf

From two early childhood experts, an essential guidebook that empowers parents to help their little ones navigate their big feelings--including tantrums, outbursts, and separation anxiety--while laying the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional intelligence. The Future is Emotionally Intelligent Childhood is filled with wonder--and also lots of tears. Scraped knees. Bruised egos. Tantrums. As children, we may have been taught to minimize or bury our emotions: Don't cry. It's not a big deal. Calm down. Though well intentioned, this parenting approach didn't give us any actual understanding of why we feel what we feel and how to handle big emotions. As parents ourselves, we can forget that three-year-olds can zip their own jackets so we do it for them, and yet we still expect them to manage strong emotions by themselves. As science expands our understanding of the developing brain, we know--now more than ever before--how important it is to raise emotionally intelligent children who are able to navigate all of the challenging feelings that come with childhood, and life. Early childhood experts Alyssa Campbell and Lauren Stauble are at the forefront of a parenting and education revolution to help foster this essential skillset with their proven Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method. Designed for the tricky infant and toddler years when the tiniest humans have some of the biggest emotions, this innovative book shows parents how to handle their children's outbursts while empowering their children to recognize and manage difficult feelings like anger, sadness, and shame, as well as anxiety. It provides the tools to tackle every sort of stressful parenting moment, including: What to do when your child throws a tantrum (it's not what you think!) How to react when your child hits, punches, or bites How to regulate your child's nervous system in the moment How to anticipate and end meltdowns before they even begin Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is an empathetic, parent-friendly guide to cultivating self-regulation and empathy with your little one, setting the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional resilience and wellbeing.

Preemie by Kasey Mathews Pdf

In her early thirties, Kasey Mathews had it all: a loving husband, a beautiful two-year-old son, and a second baby on the way. But what seemed a perfect life was shattered when she went into labor four months early, delivering her one-pound, eleven-ounce daughter, Andie. The first time Kasey was wheeled into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), nothing prepared her for what she saw: a tiny, fragile baby in a tangle of tubes and wires. All at once, Kasey was confronted with a new and terrifying reality that would test the limits of love, family, and motherhood. In this riveting, honest, and often humorous memoir, Preemie chronicles the journey of one tiny baby’s tenacious struggle to hold on to life and the mother who ultimately grew with her. From hospital waiting rooms to the offices of alternative practitioners, from ski slopes to Symphony Hall, Kasey tries to make meaning of her daughter’s birth and eventually comes to learn that gifts come in all sizes and all forms, and sometimes... right on time.
