pregnancy diet and lifestyle plan based on cutting-edge genetic
science Whether you're planning for pregnancy or are already
pregnant, this essential prenatal guide draws on the latest genetic
research to give you a complete program of specific nutrition and
environmental lifestyle changes that can help you have a better
baby. The book is based on the emerging science of epigenetics and
shows how the environment interacts with your genes, affecting
which genes are expressed or "turned on". It shows you the
important steps you can take to improve preconception nutrition and
reduce toxins in your home and body to consciously help your child
be healthy, smart, and strong. Leverages the latest epigenetics
research to help you produce a healthier, smarter, and happier baby
with a lower risk of allergies, asthma, and developmental issues
Shares a specific prescriptive program based on four principles:
eating the right foods; taking the right supplements; detoxifying
before, during, and after pregnancy; and minimizing stress Shows
how a woman's health and her environment during pregnancy may have
a much bigger impact on her child than was previously thought
Includes the authors' compelling personal story of developing the
Better Baby Plan shared in the book as they had their own better
babies
Child care environments have received extensive research attention
by those interested in understanding how participating in
nonparental child care might influence the children's development
and learning. Throughout the United States (US Census Bureau, 2011)
and Europe (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,
2006) a large number of young children are cared for outside of the
home by non-parental adults. Young children's nonparental care is
commonly referred to as ""child care," and is provided to children
whose ages range from birth to 12 years of age. The provision of
child care services has become an increasingly important part of
early childhood education. In fact, the United Nations Children's
Fund (2019) states that a large majority of children worldwide
spend at least some of their week in child care, such arrangements
include center care, family child care, in-home child care,
relative child care, and supplemental child care. Child care
researchers have been conducting studies to understand how
participating in nonparental child care might influence the
children's development and learning outcomes. There are more than
enough child care studies to make numerous major inferences. For
example, research outcomes show that child care quality seems to be
more influential than either the kind of child care or age of
admission in determining the children's development and learning.
The adults' child care affects the quality in child care. In the
environment adults who are caring for the children have the
opportunity to effectively assume both nurturing and instructional
roles to help young children cultivate their social and cognitive
abilities. The teachers' effectiveness is related to their
individual characteristics, such as formal education, specialized
training, and the classroom environment. However, the majority of
the studies show that both family and quality of child care have
the most significant effects on the children's development and
learning. Therefore, the concept of child care has heavily
influenced modern views. Researchers, scholars, and educators are
beginning to understand the current foundations based on
theoretical frameworks that contribute to the purposes of the child
care in the United States and Europe. The contents of the child
care volume reflect the major shifts in the views of these early
childhood researchers, scholars, and educators in relation to
research outcomes on child care, its historical roots, the role of
child care in early childhood education, and its relationship to
theory, research, and practice.

Three best friends. One late-night lifeline.Meet Aisha, Sophy and
Mel. Three new mums. All absolutely shattered. For her social media
fans, influencer Sophy has the picture-perfect life. But why does
she feel so lonely all the time? Older mum Mel wasn't planning on

family that she isn't sure she can ever fix. Navigating this new
world of motherhood is hard. And the only sanity these three
friends have is their 3am mums' club, where they can chat and
support each other in the dark of the night as their babies,
finally, finally sleep. But in the still of the night, secrets are
revealed that could turn all their lives upside down.... more than
they already are! Bestselling author Nina Manning is back with a
brand-new story of mum guilt, parenting pitfalls and friendship
around the clock.
This is the first book of its kind to be written specifically for
autistic parents, whilst also providing essential reading for
health and social care practitioners, enabling them to provide
reasonably adjusted care with the best outcomes for autistic people
and their babies. Written by an autistic mother who experienced a
mental health crisis following a poorly supported pregnancy and
childbirth, she gives voice to the experiences of many autistic
parents in order to address the issues they collectively and
uniquely face. The outcome is a practical, insightful and
solution-focused guide to empower autistic parents from
pre-conception right through to the first few months with baby, and
to inform health and social care staff whose job it is to offer
support and to meet their needs at these critical times. This
sensitively illustrated book provides the information, resources
and confidence autistic parents need to advocate for themselves, as
well as developing positive relationships with the professionals
involved in their care.

In 1979, Liz Pryor, a good girl from a privileged Chicago family,
discovered that she was pregnant. At only 17 years old, her parents
were determined to keep this shameful event secret from everyone,
even her siblings. One snowy January day, after driving across
three states, her mother dropped her off at what Liz believed was a
Catholic home for unwed mothers, but was in fact a locked state
facility for delinquent pregnant girls. Over the next six months,
alone and isolated from everyone she knew, Liz developed a
surprising bond of friendship with the other girls, which led her
to question everything she once held true. Told with tenderness,
humour and candour, Look at You Now is a deeply moving
coming-of-age story that pays tribute to the triumph of the human
spirit in times of adversity, and the transcendent power of
friendship in the toughest of times.
