The easy way for kids to develop social skills and make friends in 7 simple steps by involving the kids and their parents. Raising bright, confident, and socially competent children is every parent's top priority.We want our kids to live, laugh, and love without abandon. We want to see them grow and prosper in any environment. That includes social settings. However, socializing doesn't come easily to everybody. Some kids are shyer than others. Some kids simply thrive on social energy. Some kids prefer small friend groups. Some kids love being in the middle of a crowd. This is why it's difficult finding a one-size-fits-all solution to helping kids socialize. Heck, it's downright impossible! Every kid is different, after all. That's what sets this book apart. It celebrates that difference by providing multiple age-appropriate tips, tools, and strategies to help every kid out. From natural leaders to quiet, creative souls, from energetic little scamps to soft, sensitive doves... there's an approach in this book that'll work for them all. There are 45 fun activities in this book, all separated according to skills and then further separated into age groups: babies, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary and middle schoolers. The specific development stage of each child is considered. No one is excluded. Aside from discovering the 7 Main Social Skills Every Child Needs to Develop, you'll also learn: ¿ The 3 Main Types of Self-Esteem-and which one you should help your child nurture¿ The crucial difference between controlling emotions and suppressing them¿ How to recognize and label different emotions... in us and in others¿ What it means to model - and why we, as parents, should always watch our words, tones, and reactions around our kids¿ Why it's okay to let kids make mistakes and face the consequences (sometimes)¿ Why kids are never too young to master empathy¿ The crucial, tell-tale signs of bullying and what you can do if your child is being bullied - or if they are the bully¿ The hidden power in asking a toddler, "This or that?"¿ Why you should ask your child for their opinions more often¿ Why over-praising can actually damage a child's self-esteem ... and many, many more. This book also highlights how the 7 social skills are interconnected. What's self-esteem got to do with bullying, and what's decision-making got to do with self-esteem? You'll have to read it to find out! Navigating social situations can be difficult for both kids and adults alike. Kids have more energy; adults have more experience. By working together with your child, you can help them grow and mature into emotionally intelligent, well-balanced individuals.
You should always feel safe in a relationship, feel equal with your partner, and feel respect for each other. This this is why I created the journal. Journal stems from the word journey. I have provided highlights from my life's journey of domestic abuse, but I realized that it is not yours. Therefore, I have compiled resources, activities, and journaling pages for you to record YOUR journey in hopes that it will help you and others whom you may share it with in the future. Happy journaling!Words are powerful; the words we choose to say out loud are even more powerful. That's why I tell everyone I am a domestic violence survivor-not a victim.Never a victim.While this guide focuses on dating partners, these principles apply to relationships with friends, family, spouses, and coworkers.
This book is a 'cautionary tale' for all women and girls over the age of 16 who may find themselves, quite innocently, on the wrong side of the law. This is the book I wish I'd read before my life was turned upside down and inside out. I had no idea how the British police can treat you as a woman, arresting you before even considering whether you are innocent or guilty. Being brutally made to strip and change clothing in front of four male officers; having my phone and computer taken from me (for five months); being released 17.5 hours later; in the middle of the night with no access to transport.This experience was one of the most horrifying and frightening things that ever happened to me. Followed by being utterly humiliated in the press coverage of the case, published suspiciously mere hours after I'd said 'Not Guilty' in a court room. Not to mention losing my job, accommodation, all my savings and pensions, my good name and reputation. Everything, gone. With this Manifesto, I am trying to ensure that no other woman in the UK ever has to go through this again, but if she does, to help prepare her for what may sadly happen. It is dedicated to providing women with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to navigate the complexities of the British police and court system. I am not a lawyer, but my mission is to empower women to assert their rights, seek justice, and overcome the challenges they may face within the legal system. I believe that every woman deserves a fair and just experience when interacting with law enforcement and the courts, and I am committed to facilitating this through information and guidance.

This is the third book in the Warning Signs series. This volume will show how I began to see the abuse that was occurring, started questioning my trust in him, and found the courage to leave. It also depicts how people cope with the emotional abuse and inner turmoil of it all, how people leave, and how people grow afterward. ---Warning Signs, is my memoir about intimate partner violence (IPV), a subset of domestic violence (DV). It reads as though it is a fast-paced romance adventure story, but after every chapter there is a Warning Signs section that explains the domestic violence that was actually occurring. I am not only a DV survivor, but I am a therapist with extensive training in domestic violence principles; which I share in these Warning Signs chapters. ¿Warning Signs is one story in a series of three books; Volume 1 shows the story about how we met, fell in love, and began our relationship together. Volume 2 shows the story of our marriage, how our relationship changed, and why I stayed with him. Volume 3 shows how I began to understand what was happening, started questioning my trust in him, and eventually left him. My hope is that this book can teach people the warning signs so that people can: 1) Not enter abusive relationships; 2) Leave if they are in them; 3) Help people notice if someone is in an abusive relationship, and then teach them the warning signs so they leave; 4) Help people whose loved ones have experienced abuse understand what happened and why it was hard for them to see the signs and leave; and 5) Create a global discussion so that we can change these patterns, so as a society we can work toward ending abuse.As a community of people reading this book and people that care about survivors, I hope that we can help people make smart decisions.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER?American Whitelash is indispensable. Really. It is.? ? Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an AntiracistPulitzer Prize?winning journalist Wesley Lowery confronts the sickness at the heart of American society: the cyclical pattern of violence that has marred every moment of racial progress in this country, and whose bloodshed began anew following Obama's 2008 election.In 2008, Barack Obama's historic victory was heralded as a turning point for the country. And so it would be?just not in the way that most Americans hoped.

— Mit Smukke Bæst, ser du det nu, din mor har aldrig elsket dig. Er du ked af det? Sover du?Det smukke bæst er et ondt eventyr om en forsømt pige, hendes guddommeligt smukke, men enfoldige bror og deres selvoptagede mor. Med sin udpenslede vold og ødipale mareridtsstemning var romanen, skrevet af den dengang kun 20-årige Marie-Claire Blais, et særsyn i 50'ernes Canada. Den vakte enorm forargelse, men betragtes i dag som et uomgængeligt hovedværk i det 20. århundredes canadiske litteratur. Marie-Claire Blais hører til samme generation af canadiske forfattere som Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid's Tale), der om sit rystende møde med romanen sagde:"Bogen gjorde mig meget utilpas, af andre end blot de åbenlyse grunde: volden, mordene, antydningerne af incest og skriftens hallucinatoriske intensitet var sjældne i datidens canadiske litteratur, men endnu mere skræmmende var tanken om, at denne utroligt velskrevne, bloddryppende fantasi var skrevet af en kun 19-årig pige."

"An examination of the physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by Ashtanga yoga leader Pattabhi Jois and the culture, structures, and mythos that enabled it, grounded in investigative research and real survivor stories"--
This book is a radical critique of gender ideology and transhuman design. Silvia Guerini shows how the TQ+ rights agenda is being pushed by eugenicist capitalist technocrats at the top of Big Business, Big Philanthropy, Big Tech and Big Pharma companies. She argues that dissociation from our sexed bodies leads to dissociation from reality, with the human body transformed into a permanent construction site besieged by synthetic and artificial interventions. Erasure of the material dimension of bodies and sexual difference is an erasure of women. She explains how fundamental struggles such as the fight against genetic engineering and the fight against artificial reproduction can only advance in conjunction with an opposition to gender ideology. By linking ' gender identity' to the genetic modification of bodies, she warns that humanity itself is at risk of becoming a synthetic life form with synthetic emotions within a virtual, fluid, deconstructed metaverse. Today, being revolutionary means preserving everything that makes us human. It means defending the living world and nature as entities to be respected, not as parts that can be broken down and redesigned in a laboratory world.
Explores the significance of postwar German representations of violence in other places and times.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLERIn this spectacular, newsmaking exposé that has the entertainment industry abuzz and on its heels, Vanity Fair's Maureen Ryan blows the lid on patterns of harassment and bias in Hollywood, the grassroots reforms under way, and the labor and activist revolutions that recent scandals have ignited.It is never just One Bad Man.Abuse and exploitation of workers is baked into the very foundations of the entertainment industry. To break the cycle and make change that sticks, it's important to stop looking at headline-making stories as individual events. Instead, one must look closely at the bigger picture, to see how abusers are created, fed, rewarded, allowed to persist, and, with the right tools, how they can be excised.In Burn It Down, veteran reporter Maureen Ryan does just that. She draws on decades of experience to connect the dots and illuminate the deeper forces sustaining Hollywood's corrosive culture. Fresh reporting sheds light on problematic situations at companies like Lucasfilm and shows like Lost, Saturday Night Live, The Goldbergs, Sleepy Hollow, Curb Your Enthusiasm and more.Interviews with actors and famous creatives like Evan Rachel Wood, Harold Perrineau, Damon Lindelof, and Orlando Jones abound. Ryan dismantles, one by one, the myths that the entertainment industry promotes about itself, which have allowed abusers to thrive and the industry to avoid accountability?myths about Hollywood as a meritocracy, what it takes to be creative, the value of human dignity, and more.Weaving together insights from industry insiders, historical context, and pop-culture analysis, Burn It Down paints a groundbreaking and urgently necessary portrait of what's gone wrong in the entertainment world?and how we can fix it.
