Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept is a beautifully illustrated
picture book that sensitively broaches the subject of keeping our
children safe from inappropriate touch. We teach water safety and
road safety but how do we teach 'body safety' to young children in
a way that is neither frightening nor confronting? This book is an
invaluable tool for parents, caregivers, teachers and health
professionals. The comprehensive notes to the reader and discussion
questions at the back of the book support both the reader and the
child when discussing the story. Suitable for ages 3 to 12 years. A
free 'body safety' song, supporting teacher's pack and other useful
resources are also available from: www.somesecrets.info
What a Tiger Mother thinks is ferocity is just control-freakiness
turned rancid like frozen breast milk left in the mini Tupperware
too long. Tiger Mom, I'm just not that into you - "From Tiger
Babies Strike Back". After Amy Chua's controversial parenting book
became fodder for every morning talk show, Kim Wong Keltner wasn't
surprised to be asked, Are you a Tiger Mother? Raised by a Tiger
Mom herself, Kim wasn't fazed. Instead, she's striking back. Hard.
Traversing the choppy seas of American and Chinese traditions,
Keltner dives into the difficulties facing women today -
Chinese-American and otherwise. At once deeply relevant and
playfully honest, Keltner attempts to dispel Chua's myth that all
Chinese women are Tiger Mothers and that all parents should rule
with an iron fist. Topics include: White Thing, I Think I Love You:
East Meets West in the Board Room and the Bedroom; I Was Raised by
a Tiger Mom and All I Got Was this Lousy T-Shirt: A Rebuttal to
Chua, with More Anecdotes from the Wong Family Tree; My Car and Kid
Are Both Hybrids; Imperial Ferocity vs. Feminine Vulnerability:
Dragon Lady or Chinese Mary Magdalene? The first and only book of
its kind to take Tiger Mothers on by their teeth, "Tiger Babies
Strike Back" combines personal anecdotes and tough love advice for
a humorous, provocative look at how our families shape-and
sometimes shake-our personal foundations.
Finding a balance between convenience and providing nourishing food
for children, this book gives authoritative answers about how to
make good, nutritional food for children. Age-specific and
child-tested, it takes a simple, straightforward approach to topics
like children's growth, common feeding problems, and how to offer
children positive experiences with food. This newly updated edition
contains sample menus that combine the latest nutritional
information with favourite foods updated listings of the best
resources, and handy forms and checklists.
Does My Child Have Autism? is a question so many parents are asking
themselves today. Is he avoiding eye contact? Why can't she talk?
Is my child's development normal or does he have an Autism Spectrum
Disorder? Parents know that if their child is somewhere on that
spectrum, they need to intervene as early as possible to maximize
the benefits of early treatment. This groundbreaking book, by one
of the foremost experts, teachers, and clinicians in the field,
provides a guide for parents about what to look for at home at
twenty-four months or even earlier, what to do, and how to get the
right kind of help from doctors, counselors, therapists, and other
professionals.
Step-by-step, Stone walks you through the diagnostic process for
young children with autism and offers vital information about what
will be expected of you and your child during the clinical
assessment. The book reveals the critical importance of early
intervention and outlines the various types of interventions that
are currently available. In addition, Does My Child Have Autism?
gives you practical tips, activities, and teaching tools that can
be used at home to improve your child's social, communication, and
play skills.
"Clear and compassionate ... takes families through early
warning signs, understanding the diagnostic process, and what types
of early treatment might be helpful. A must-read for families with
children who may have or do have an Autism Spectrum Disorder as
well as clinicians and caregivers of children and families with
ASD."
