Download or read book Ibby s Feelings written by Baaqia Uqdah and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ibby's Feelings is a book to be read along with young children. It is the story of a fouryear-old child who is witnessing domestic violence in her home. Ibby's Feelings demonstrates that children who witness or experience domestic violence may have some of the same normalcies as children who do not. They may do fun things with their parents, enjoy time spent with other family members, and have their favorite pastimes. The difference is, the lives of children who witness or experience domestic violence are plagued with anticipation of the violence that could occur at any given moment, without warning. Ibby's Feelings is a roadway to freedom from the rage, the silent shame, the fear, and the pain caused by domestic violence. Ibby's Feelings assists adults in understanding the impact of domestic violence on young children. Ibby's Feelings sends a simple yet pertinent message to adults and that message is PLEASE HELP The stress of witnessing and/or experiencing domestic violence impacts upon the lives of young children in ways that are oftentimes overlooked by adults. For example, the child may seem timid, be aggressive, be asthmatic, or appear to have attention deficit disorder. Ibby's Feelings is a storybook to be read "with" children who are or may have been exposed to domestic violence. The book can assist adults who work with children in opening a doorway that allows child victims to label and discuss their feelings and their experiences. Statistics have shown that a man who batters his wife or significant other, could more than likely abuse the children who live in that household. Even children who are not experiencing the violence themselves can suffer in some way because they have witnessed it. Ibby's Feelings is a cry for help from the young child who is witnessing and/or experiencing domestic violence, and the wounded child who lives within adults who witnessed or experienced domestic violence as children. Baaqia J. Uqdah (pronounced Bak-ia J. Uk-da) For more than thirty-five years Ms. Uqdah enjoyed caring for infants and toddlers, and teaching preschool children. She combined the skills and knowledge obtained through her work, her credentials in the early childhood profession, and her BA in English to create a literacy rich classroom learning environment for the children she taught and cared for. She later became a childcare center director and progressed to teacher trainer. Ms. Uqdah witnessed domestic violence as a young child, and survived domestic violence as an adult. Upon retiring as an early childhood educator, Ms. Uqdah embarked upon a career as a domestic violence victims advocate. Today she is a candidate for the Domestic Violence Specialist Certification in the State of New Jersey. Her combined passions for early learning and child welfare inspire her primary focus in the field of domestic violence, i.e., its impact it on the very young child. As an early childhood professional Ms. Uqdah worked with children and families in crisis. Often times the crisis was directly related to domestic violence. Ms. Uqdah would encourage her students to express their feelings through language arts. Additionally, she realized that so often adults learn valuable lessons and gain pertinent information through literature that is intended for children. Thus Ibby was created to assist adults in seeing domestic violence through the eyes of a young child, to help child victims label and voice their feelings, and assist child victims in releasing the fear and sadness they hold within.

Download or read book Speaking for Ourselves written by Michael B. Bakan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of autism as a diagnosed condition in the 1940s, the importance of music in the lives of autistic people has been widely observed and studied. Articles on musical savants, extraordinary feats of musical memory, unusually high rates of absolute or perfect pitch, and the effectiveness of music-based therapies abound in the autism literature. Meanwhile, music scholars and historians have posited autism-centered explanatory models to account for the unique musical artistry of everyone from Béla Bartók and Glenn Gould to Blind Tom Wiggins. Given the great deal of attention paid to music and autism, it is surprising to discover that autistic people have rarely been asked to account for how they themselves make and experience music or why it matters to them that they do. In Speaking for Ourselves, renowned ethnomusicologist Michael Bakan does just that, engaging in deep conversations--some spanning the course of years--with ten fascinating and very different individuals who share two basic things in common: an autism spectrum diagnosis and a life in which music plays a central part. These conversations offer profound insights into the intricacies and intersections of music, autism, neurodiversity, and life in general, not from an autistic point of view, but rather from many different autistic points of view. They invite readers to partake of a rich tapestry of words, ideas, images, and musical sounds that speak to both the diversity of autistic experience and the common humanity we all share.

When two women—one Amish, one English—each with different motives, join forces to organize a successful on-line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship. As different as night and day, Deborah and Callie are uneasy partners who simply want to make the best of a temporary situation. But a murder, a surprising prime suspect, a stubborn detective, and the town's reaction throw the two women together, and they form an unlikely alliance to solve a mystery and catch a killer. Set in the well-known Amish community of Shipshewana, Falling to Pieces will attract both devoted fans of the rapidly-growing Amish fiction genre, as well as those who are captivated by the Amish way of life.

Book excerpt: The annual Zimbabwe International Book Fair is the cross-roads for all parts of the African book communities. The Indaba preceding the book fair has become the meeting place for interested parties from Africa, Europe, the US and the rest of the developing world. The 1998 theme of the fair was "Books and Children", and this was the theme of the Indaba. These fifty-six papers, report-backs and discussions are all presentations or events at the 1998 Fair. The over-riding message is that there is a reading culture in Africa, but a shortage of books wanted and needed by children in Africa. The papers are grouped in five parts: those from the plenary sessions; Policy; Children's Literature; Scholarship and Research; and Access and Technology.
