M..A..T..H..what does it spell? BEST SUBJECT EVER!!! Thank you x thank you for your part in making sure kids love learning!! My book, Mathivate, is the mathlicious technique to put a positive parabola on everyone's face. This book is filled with 15 x 10 pages of mathlicious activities, projects, and games that will ensure kids love learning math. I have been teaching for 7 x 3 + 4 years, therefore, I understand the busy life of a teacher. I created this book to be teacher friendly!! There are pictures of student artifacts, templates, a teacher page, and then a student page to duplicate. I use each of these ideas with middle school kids. I have presented to all grade level teachers and have been able to adapt these ideas for any grade level. The Math Muscles activity is what I use for the beginning of class questions. One version is a bingo card they complete with their answers. There are several projects that represent a variety of concepts, and a matholiday section. My students love their names, so I created several projects where they use their name. There are numerous activities that can be used daily. I use my vocabulary ideas, camathouflage and fracordiddles every week. These are quick mathtastic methods kids will love as you introduce math terms. Follow it up with once a week bamathanana!! Each day of the week is named for something fun that my students complete: Mathoggle Monday, Tangeo Tuesday, Wuzzle Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, and Foremathead Friday!! My goal is for my class to be one of the best fractions of my kids' day. Being a math teacher, I have kids walk in my room with negative parabolas on their faces, and I am determined to rotate those into positive ones!! Kids can have fun and learn. I have dedicated my teaching career in making sure kids are loved and have fun while discovering the mathematics around us. I wish you the best x best + best year so far!!! I hope your students love these activities, projects, and games as much as mine!!! Add to your passion. Subtract the I can't. Multiply by I can. Divide by the love and respect we have for kids and the teaching profession. This will equal a celemathbration!!!

Postnatal PTSD, often referred to as birth trauma, is an underdiagnosed and misunderstood condition. Often mistaken for postnatal depression and with 4% of women developing the condition after giving birth, it is essential that health professionals learn to recognise and prevent postnatal PTSD.The book supports professionals to better understand, recognise, treat and help prevent birth trauma. It covers the impact of postnatal PTSD on bonding and relationships, birth trauma in Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, how to support women having another baby and more.An accessible guide to supporting parents with postnatal PTSD, this book is essential reading for healthcare professionals and those involved with the birthing process.

A new edition of this best-selling book is now available: see Birth Trauma (Second Edition).Birth ought to be a joyful experience: for some women, however, it is anything but. Women who have experienced a medical emergency during birth often find that the memory of it doesn't go away just because a healthy baby has been delivered. They experience the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder: flashbacks, sleeplessness, nightmares or extreme anxiety. Some go out of their way to avoid being reminded of the birth, and they may find it difficult to bond with their baby. Post-traumatic stress disorder after birth, known more simply as 'birth trauma', affects at least 10,000 women every year in England and Wales. Yet the condition is poorly misunderstood and women suffering from birth trauma often do not receive the treatment or support they need. They may be misdiagnosed as suffering from postnatal depression, and many find that friends and family, instead of being supportive, simply tell them to pull themselves together. This valuable and fascinating book explains everything you and your family and friends need to know about birth trauma: what causes it, how it affects your personal relationships, how to treat it and where to find support. Using the powerful personal stories of women who have suffered birth trauma and overcome it, this book shows that it is possible to go through this difficult experience and come out the other side.
