Download or read book From Dandelions to Daffodils written by Lacey Anne Black and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicles of a Child of an Alcoholic Parent articulates the authors struggles through a diverse set of circumstances only to realize that physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual health and well-being can only be found in trusting the truth of Gods Word. Easy as it may be to blame everyone else for the unfair conditions that God has allowed into her life, the author converses with the reader honestly and candidly through a diary of her childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Growing up in dysfunctional homes can make it easy to excuse the dysfunction found in our adult homes, but it is never Gods intention for our families to remain addicted to pain without hope for healing. Trust Gods leading as you read through this extraordinary journey. In my many years spent as a mental health therapist, Ive worked extensively with fractured family systems and their members who courageously pursue recovery from emotional, physical, and psychological trauma. Trauma survivors are the most courageous people as they work through and beyond the pain and entrapment of victimization to retrieve their hearts and dreams as they embrace lives of strength, empathy, and immeasurable value. This heartfelt book is a reflection of the indomitable strength of the human spirit and power of faith. L. K. Marshall, Mental health therapist, educator and specialist in trauma recovery

Download or read book The Orchid and the Dandelion written by W. Thomas Boyce MD and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Based on groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children--and the adults who love them." --Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts. A book that offers hope and a pathway to success for parents, teachers, psychologists, and child development experts coping with difficult children. In Tom Boyce's extraordinary new book, he explores the "dandelion" child (hardy, resilient, healthy), able to survive and flourish under most circumstances, and the "orchid" child (sensitive, susceptible, fragile), who, given the right support, can thrive as much as, if not more than, other children. Boyce writes of his pathfinding research as a developmental pediatrician working with troubled children in child-development research for almost four decades, and explores his major discovery that reveals how genetic make-up and environment shape behavior. He writes that certain variant genes can increase a person's susceptibility to depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and antisocial, sociopathic, or violent behaviors. But rather than seeing this "risk" gene as a liability, Boyce, through his daring research, has recast the way we think of human frailty, and has shown that while these "bad" genes can create problems, they can also, in the right setting and the right environment, result in producing children who not only do better than before but far exceed their peers. Orchid children, Boyce makes clear, are not failed dandelions; they are a different category of child, with special sensitivities and strengths, and need to be nurtured and taught in special ways. And in The Orchid and the Dandelion, Boyce shows us how to understand these children for their unique sensibilities, their considerable challenges, their remarkable gifts.

Download or read book Dandelion Wine written by Ray Bradbury and published by Spectra. This book was released on 1985-03-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The summer of '28 was a vintage season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding—remembered forever by the incomparable Ray Bradbury. The only god living in Green Town, Illinois, that Douglas Spaulding knew of. The facts about John Huff, aged twelve, are simple and soon stated. • He could pathfind more trails than any Choctaw or Cherokee since time began. • Could leap from the sky like a chimpanzee from a vine. • Could live underwater two minutes and slide fifty yards downstream. • Could hit baseballs into apple trees, knocking down harvests. • Could jump six-foot orchard walls. • Ran laughing. • Sat easy. • Was not a bully. • Was kind. • Knew the words to all the cowboy songs and would teach you if you asked. • Knew the names of all the wild flowers and when the moon would rise or set and when the tides came in or out. He was, in fact, the only god living in the whole of Green Town, Illinois, during the twentieth century that Douglas Spaulding knew of. “[Ray] Bradbury is an authentic original.”—Time

Every year the west wind blew all the seeds into the neighbor's pasture where Della could not go. Then Della came up with a plan to stop the west wind from blowing the seeds of her one dandelion to the neighbor's pasture. This is the story of how Della outsmarted the West Wind
