We've all experienced frustration asking for and getting what we
want. It plays out regularly with our partners, children,
employers, and businesses we patronize. Sometimes we don't bother
to ask for what we want, even when it's perfectly reasonable,
thinking it will create hard feelings or spark an argument. Often,
it's because we don't think we can succeed in getting what we want.
But nothing could be further from the truth. How to Ask for What
You Want and Get It: Common Sense Tips That Work will help readers
learn how to ask for what they want and get good results. It
teaches them how to stay in the game by using the right words. It
also shows how to build rapport by using positive body language.
The more you know what makes people operate as they do, the better
chance you'll have of helping them see things your way. The most
important aspect to negotiating anything is getting the other
person on your side. That means the person you're asking has to
like and respect you enough to do what you want. Most of the advice
in this book employs mindfulness techniques. The mindfulness
movement helps people live in the moment, speak more effectively to
one another, and settle problems peacefully.
This book gives preschoolers valuable practice in reading, writing,
and speaking skills by engaging them in a series of enjoyable
activities. Preschool teachers, nursery and day care workers,
kindergarten teachers, parents (especially home schooling parents),
and ESL teachers, will find the activities both easy to follow and
user-friendly. Teachers can use many of the activities with groups
in a classroom setting, while parents can use them with individual
children in a home setting. All of the activities address values
important to children's growth and development: cooperation,
friendship, respect for others' opinions, intergenerational
closeness, generosity, and gratitude. The activities are divided
into two main sections: early preschoolers (ages 2-4) and
preschoolers (ages 4-6). Within each of these categories,
activities progress from basic to intermediate to advanced. The
teacher or parent can modify or expand upon all of the activities,
adjusting them to a child's individual needs. The activities begin
with a description of what the teacher will accomplish during the
activity. The target skills section tells the teacher at a glance
which skills the activity reinforces. The game plan gives a
step-by-step list of things to do from the activity's beginning to
end. Finally, sample scripts help the instructor talk to children
about the activities appearing throughout the book.
More than ever, life in our world, nation, and communities appears
insecure and unpredictable. Every day, new and disturbing incidents
appear on the news that feed this sense of unrest. In our
communities, people don't attempt to understand one another's
points of view, causing compromise to give way to discord and
conflict. This unremitting stress filters down to the way we raise
our children and the way our kids respond to accepting the values
we work hard to impart. Parenting Mindfully helps you provide your
children with a buffer against the challenges they face at home, in
school, and in the neighborhood. Following the principles of
Mindfulness can help you raise kids who become school smart, street
smart, caring human beings. If you want to promote character traits
like compassion, kindness, and respect for you and others, using
Mindfulness techniques will jumpstart these positive qualities in
your children. Imagine what it would be like if you could begin to
find a way to parent your kids successfully despite the growing
negativity in the world. Parenting Mindfully can help both you and
your kids discover a new and rewarding way of living.
