Download or read book The Zones of Regulation written by Leah M. Kuypers and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... a curriculum geared toward helping students gain skills in consciously regulating their actions, which in turn leads to increased control and problem solving abilities. Using a cognitive behavior approach, the curriculum's learning activities are designed to help students recognize when they are in different states called "zones," with each of four zones represented by a different color. In the activities, students also learn how to use strategies or tools to stay in a zone or move from one to another. Students explore calming techniques, cognitive strategies, and sensory supports so they will have a toolbox of methods to use to move between zones. To deepen students' understanding of how to self-regulate, the lessons set out to teach students these skills: how to read others' facial expressions and recognize a broader range of emotions, perspective about how others see and react to their behavior, insight into events that trigger their less regulated states, and when and how to use tools and problem solving skills. The curriculum's learning activities are presented in 18 lessons. To reinforce the concepts being taught, each lesson includes probing questions to discuss and instructions for one or more learning activities. Many lessons offer extension activities and ways to adapt the activity for individual student needs. The curriculum also includes worksheets, other handouts, and visuals to display and share. These can be photocopied from this book or printed from the accompanying CD."--Publisher's website.

This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though diversity is currently conveyed as a ubiquitous principle within institutions of higher education, professionals of color still face issues such as discrimination, the glass ceiling, lack of mentoring, and limited access to career networks. Unfortunately, an open channel does not exist for professionals of color to express their frustrations and genuine concerns. The narratives in No Ways Tired present a powerful voice about the experiences of student affairs professionals of color in higher education, including intersecting identities such as race, class, and gender. Furthermore, the narratives are nuggets of personal truth that can serve as a lens for professionals of color who wish to develop strategies to succeed as they traverse their careers in higher education. Through the sharing of their visions of success, lessons learned, and cautionary tales, the authors openly offer insights about how they have created a way to survive and thrive within higher education in spite of challenges and distractions. They also articulate a vision where student affairs professionals of color can develop fully, be authentic, use their agency, and effectively contribute. This book includes recommendations for professionals of color at all levels within higher education and ways to construct opportunities to flourish. The ultimate goal for this book is to promote discussions regarding how professionals of color can be more proactive in developing strategies that are conducive to their professional and personal success as they navigate their higher education careers.

Download or read book Daring Greatly written by Brené Brown and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously. 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly' -Theodore Roosevelt Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. Challenging everything we think we know about vulnerability, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that vulnerability is in fact a strength, and when we shut ourselves off from revealing our true selves we grow distanced from the things that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across the home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly. 'Brilliantly insightful. I can't stop thinking about this book' -Gretchen Rubin Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Her groundbreaking work was featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday, NPR, and CNN. Her TED talk is one of the most watched TED talks of all time. Brené is also the author of The Gifts of Imperfection and I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't).

Download or read book Peaceful at Heart written by Don Neufeld and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are plenty of books by men, for men, on the topic of “Christian masculinity,” these books generally fail to address men’s propensities for violence and the traditional inequity between men and women, often endorsing inequity and sanctioning aggressive behavior as an appropriate “manly” response to conflict. Peaceful at Heart cuts through this conversation by offering a uniquely Anabaptist Christian perspective on masculinity. The vision of masculinity presented in this book is more peaceful, just, caring, life-giving for men, and more sensitive to women and children than both traditional images of masculinity and the hypermasculine images promoted by contemporary popular culture and wider evangelical Christianity. Peaceful at Heart addresses men and masculinity using Anabaptist theological themes of discipleship, community, and peace. As a collaborative project by men, for men, this book demonstrates through personal narratives, theological reflection, and practical guidance the importance of collective discernment, accountability, and mutual encouragement regarding how to live as a peaceful man in a violent world.

Download or read book Flying Free written by Cecilia Aragon and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daughter of a Chilean father and a Filipina mother, Cecilia Rodriguez Aragon grew up as a shy, timid child in a small midwestern town during the 1960s. Targeted by school bullies and dismissed by many of her teachers, she worried that people would find out the truth: that she was INTF. Incompetent. Nerd. Terrified. Failure. This feeling stayed with her well into her twenties when she was told that “girls can’t do science” or “women just don’t know how to handle machines.” Yet in the span of just six years, Cecilia became the first Latina pilot to secure a place on the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team and earn the right to represent her country at the Olympics of aviation, the World Aerobatic Championships. How did she do it? Using mathematical techniques to overcome her fear, Cecilia performed at air shows in front of millions of people. She jumped out of airplanes and taught others how to fly. She learned how to fund-raise and earn money to compete at the world level. She worked as a test pilot and contributed to the design of experimental airplanes, crafting curves of metal and fabric that shaped air to lift inanimate objects high above the earth. And best of all, she surprised everyone by overcoming the prejudices people held about her because of her race and her gender. Flying Free is the story of how Cecilia Aragon broke free from expectations and rose above her own limits by combining her passion for flying with math and logic in unexpected ways. You don’t have to be a math whiz or a science geek to learn from her story. You just have to want to soar.

Download or read book Dare to Lead written by Brené Brown and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

Download or read book A textbook for a pregnant woman Everything you need to know when carrying a child written by O.Nashchubskiy and published by Oleg Nashchubskiy. This book was released on with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing more magical in this world than the moment when life begins its new story. This is the moment when a small miracle awakens in the arms of mother and father, and the whole world reveals its miracles in new colors. Like the pages of a magic book, the life of a pregnant woman is filled with mysteries and surprises. Every moment is a chapter, every movement is an art, and the beating of a small heart is a magic that cannot be described in words. This book is the key to this magical book of life. She invites you on a journey full of mystery and wonder, into a world where the smallest touches become the most important. This is a journey into the world of motherhood and fatherhood, where every day is a new chapter, every minute is an encounter with magic. Here you will find stories about how dreams and hopes are born, about how love and happiness are born. This book is a colorful picture of life, where every color, every note is part of this magical symphony. Let's open the first page of this magical book together and go on an incredible journey, where every moment is filled with the magic of a New Life. In this world, where every step leads to a new beginning, and every beginning carries with it the eternal circle of life, conceiving a child is one of the most magical and mysterious moments. It is like a quiet whisper of nature, a promise of new life, gently emerging in the secret depths of existence. This act of creating new life is the moment when love transcends the visible and becomes a force that can change the world. Conceiving a child is not just a biological process, it is an act of love and hope. This is the moment when two hearts work together to create a miracle, giving the world a new soul. This is the beginning of a journey full of excitement, joy, sometimes fear and uncertainty, but always full of love. And then comes the moment of birth - a solemn and magical event when new life meets the light for the first time. This is the moment when time stops, and the entire universe seems concentrated in this small creature that lies so helplessly in the arms of its mother. The birth of a child is the fulfillment of the meaning of life, the embodiment of love and hope that were inherent at the moment of conception. With this event comes a new responsibility - responsibility for a new life, for this little miracle, which now depends on its parents. This is a responsibility not only for the physical well-being of the child, but also for his emotional and spiritual development. Parents become the first teachers, the first mentors and the first support in this world for their child. And, of course, with the birth of a child comes incredible love - love that knows no boundaries, knows no fatigue and knows no fear. This is love that is stronger than anything in the world, love that is capable of the greatest sacrifices and deeds. This is love that stays with parents for life, grows and develops with the child. Conceiving and giving birth to a child are not just natural stages of life, they are sacred acts full of deep meaning and grandeur. They remind us of the miracle of life, the power of love and how important it is to cherish every moment spent with our children. This is a journey that changes us, makes us better, wiser and happier. In a world where every breath and every step carries the invisible magic of the beginning, the psychological education of a child, starting from the moment of conception and especially in the first year of life, is one of the most significant and subtle threads with which we, adults, weave the fabric of the future. From the moment of conception, when new life barely begins to pulsate in the womb, it already absorbs the essence of the surrounding world through the senses of the mother. The emotional state, thoughts, sensations of the mother become the first colors with which she, perhaps unknown, paints the first images in the mind of her child. Love, calm and harmony surrounding the mother become the basis for the development of a sense of security in the child. When a baby is born, his psychological development takes on a new round. Every touch, every look, every word of the parents is imprinted in the child’s tender memory, forming his ideas about the world, about himself and about those who surround him. In the first year of life, when the baby cannot yet speak, he actively learns to understand the world through emotions and tactile sensations. This is the time when the foundation of trust in the world is laid through the warmth of hands, the tenderness of hugs and the confidence that parents are always there. Mom’s smile, dad’s gentle voice, their calmness and confidence are transmitted to the baby, giving him a feeling of security and anticipation of good things. The importance of psychological education during this period cannot be overestimated. This is the time when the foundations of self-esteem, adaptability, and first social skills are laid. Parents are the first teachers and mentors through whom the child learns to understand himself and others, learns to feel and express his emotions. The love and attention, respect and understanding that a child receives in the first year of his life become the cornerstone of his psychological health and well-being for the rest of his life. This is the foundation on which all his future relationships, his self-confidence and his ability to face difficulties will be built. Thus, psychological education begins long before the first word, the first step, it begins with the first heartbeat in the womb and continues with every moment of the first year of life. It is a mysterious and majestic task to fill this world with love, raising a new soul that will one day make it a better place.
