The Revenge of the Child - Thoughts on How to Prevent Future Holocausts (Hardcover): Thomas W. Pierce The Revenge of the Child - Thoughts on How to Prevent Future Holocausts (Hardcover)
Thomas W. Pierce
R705 Discovery Miles 7 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Poet and scholar Thomas W. Pierce, using his spiritual name "Chandra Lal" from seventeen incarnations ago, presents a fascinating study on how we can eliminate war, crime, and violence from our world in The Revenge of the Child.

Using a combination of intuition and research, Pierce delves into the history of the twentieth century and focuses primarily on two high and two low points as a framework for his argument. The high points include the discovery of cold fusion and the Marshall Plan and the low points include the atomic bombing of Japan and the Holocaust in Europe.

Pierce argues that human progress is dependent upon human understanding. With the continued improvement of communication, the world has become a global village, which in turn has contributed to the slow increase of mass human understanding that all are entitled to help and protection. By harnessing this powerful element, we are better prepared to acknowledge the constructive forces of light and the destructive forces of darkness in the human psyche, enabling us to improve our world.

By combining this knowledge with historical studies, Pierce shows how we desperately need to use this enlightened understanding to keep from repeating the mistakes of our history, particularly when it comes to child abuse. Only then can we transform Earth into the Paradise it is rightly destined to become.

The Revenge of the Child aptly demonstrates what we as a people need to do to prevent tragedy from overtaking our beloved world.

Every adult I have ever worked with has identified a broken, hurt or disillusioned child memory within; "The Children in my Chair." Susie had an intense phobia, Lucy was a compulsive over eater, Valerie believed women are subservient and had no voice, Noreen grew up with a lack mentality and was always broke, Erin never felt good enough, Julie believed she was unlovable, Doug was angry all the time and Katie distrusted her feelings and hide them inside. How did this happen? We are living in a world full of people living with shame, guilt, self blame, unhappiness, unworthiness, fear and obligation that was originally put upon them'  unconsciously by their mentors and role models in early life.  How we, as innocent children, learn about and what we come to believe about ourselves and about life are the teachings of this book.  We've been conditioned Conditioning begins with words we hear, think and speak. This book is a simple call to presence for all because everyone was once a child themselves.  Take this opportunity to; recognize your own conditioning; break the chains of the past; learn what it is to be present; and learn how to consciously use words that empower, inspire, support and encourage both yourself and the children in your life now.

Is it true that children are as vulnerable and innocent as we think they are? Adults view themselves as children's teachers, mentors, counselors, overseers, and guides. In Intentional Connections, a marriage and family therapist explores a different paradigm-one that supports the belief that children are capable of not just learning from us, but teaching us as well. Gloria O'Brien's extensive professional background has included counseling parents with concerns that range from common behavioral problems to rare disabilities. She shares psychological theories, case studies, and real-life vignettes that suggest when we observe our interactions with our children more attentively, we uncover the many life lessons children provide. While including step-by-step instructions on how adults can avoid the obstacles that interfere with our ability to hear our children and achieve greater personal growth, O'Brien provides specific guidance on how parents can distinguish their own identity from their child's identity; recognize emotional triggers from the past; separate emotions from logic and enhance decision-making; learn to empathize with children; identify and stop button-pushing behaviors. "Intentional Connections" helps adults to recognize roadblocks, develop more satisfying adult-child relationships, and embark on a journey of self-improvement.

Many parents have demonstrated a desire to parent skillfully and artfully. They read the latest child development and parenting books, configure their schedules to accommodate the social and educational lives of their children, and focus like lasers on their childrens' well-being. Many have made an enormous emotional and financial investment in raising their children. But children grow up, they move out, they create their own lives and their own homes. The role of the parent changes, diminishes, and evolves. The life phase that begins in preparation for an "empty nest" and continues until parents re-feather the nest has no official name, yet it represents a profound shift from the rigors of daily parenting to a period of self-reflection and reorientation. Here, Wendy Aronsson centers on that experience, capturing the realities of the emotions and life changes that come on gradually, and sometimes proceed in fits and starts. Refeathering the Empty Nest is for any parent preparing for the departure from home of their youngest child. It is for those who wish to move forward productively, both in their new parenting role and in their roles as spouse, employee, friend, neighbor, and self. Using real stories throughout, Aronsson shows how people have managed these changes, how they've reignited the passion in their marriages or moved on from bad matches, how they've rediscovered old interests and talents, and how they've reinvented their relationships with their children as well. These stories provide hope and guidance to anyone whose nest is about to empty as well as those whose nests already are.

Pick up the Phone and Listen (Hardcover): Thomas J Myers Pick up the Phone and Listen (Hardcover)
Thomas J Myers
R873 Discovery Miles 8 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

As a first time writer my book Pick up the Phone and Listen/Wake up Call is about (The Reality and Actuality of Youth Violence: Family, Community, & Prison). The book brings attention to the rise of youth violence, bullying, recognizing changes in attitude and behavior that affects youths mentally, physically, socially emotionally and educationally.
My book addresses the needs of youths lacking responsible parents, living in a single/two parent family, peer pressure and role models that they can trust and confide in. Their dire need of respect for their personal opinions having someone to listen to what they have to say, the lack of passion and compassion. (Parents and youth need to communicate). In my book there are comments from incarcerated and discharged inmates who became imprisoned at an early age as a juvenile and adult offender, and now wants to share their experiences to help make a difference by giving something back.
Opinions from professionals, parents, and other adults who work with or have youths at risk/at promise are discussed. Pick up The Phone and Listen stresses the need to educate and make our children aware as young as toddlers and preschoolers regarding violence, hate, prison, crime and bullying by having volunteers during presentation in our schools and communities. I also express my concern of holding adults accountable for their actions and non actions when being irresponsible for our children's, safety, health, welfare and education. In my book I share the importance of my family foundation, Parents for Prevention.
A section of my book is a autobiographical, describing my childhood growing up in the 60s, my "Vietnam" experience, my 25 years of employment as a Operation's Officer with the Department of Corrections at the Erie County Prison and my introduction and training into Martial Arts. As a result of this experience I gained mind and body Discipline.
I was the first karate instructor who trained and promoted my student Billy Blanks, the "Tae Bo" founder and Martial arts movie star, to his first- and -second - degree black belts as an inner city youth growing up in Erie Pennsylvania during the early 70s. I talk about the Billy Blanks I use to know. (Photos are included in my book).

The Castle We Called Home will draw you in from the very first word, until the last. It is simply a captivating story: "By the age of three, it was obvious that someone needed to be with Hayden, almost constantly, and with focus. It wasn't only because of his aggression or his lacking sense of danger. It was as much because he would otherwise wander aimlessly, looking for trouble, putting objects of any type in his mouth or destroying things. Or even worse, he would park himself in front of the TV and slip into Nowhereland.

It tormented me. Why couldn't I get more deeply into his head? It was like standing in a corridor, a door ahead, locked and bolted shut....and me, hopelessly and frantically, fumbling with a mess of keys....none of them fitting.

Was it that I genuinely didn't possess the right key? Or was it that I wasn't able to give myself the presence of mind to recognize the right key and then guide it into the lock?

Or was the problem that there really just wasn't a key anywhere that would fit?

It truly tormented me because we were falling apart at the seams. I had found the key with Genevieve. I'd only had to think her and feel her and reach down from within. With her it was all about getting into her head and her body and her world, and then letting her feel safe and accepted enough, to let me enter. From there, it was a matter of using tools that fit for her, like Fantasy. But with Hayden, I didn't feel that I had that edge.

I couldn't help feeling that I had let Hayden down. Why couldn't I do the same for him that I had done for her?
