Download or read book Children Are Little Mirrors written by James Laury Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02-13 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Children are little Mirrors, is a compilation of ideas and processes used by over (30) thirty Grandmothers. There were many Saturday night brainstorming sessions with the assistance of a couple of secondary and elemtary Educators expressing numerous accounts in the classroom. I wish that I could take credit for some of these imaginary ideas expressed in this book. However, I have used these methods raising my own children and others and they work. You can put them to practice too. There are many influences which effect the development of a child. The old folklore that: It takes a Village to raise a child has a lot of truth to it. Especially if those Villagers can help by injecting POSITIVE into that childs growth. Raising a child can be a pleasant and fun experience ( yet at times very challenging) for both the parent and the child. Hopefully, this book can provided a few inside tips which will help make your parenting adventure both rewarding as well as enjoyable. It always helps when you understand WHY something is happening, instead of reacting to a surprise happening. For example: If you know ahead of time, that you have an old, worn-out fuse in your refrigerator. Then suddenly, all the electricity in your refrigerator goes out. No need to panic.... No need to think horrific thoughts, to yell, to get upset, nor thinking of the cost of buying a new refrigerator..., because you know that it is the fuse. You can relax and think clearly. Simply replace that fuse and the problem is solved. You becoming a wiser Parent, has already purchased a replacement fuse for this very event (when it does fail or go out). So you were prepared for the problem and reacted properly. Hopefully, this book will give you some (not all) advance insights on things and events to watch out for (be aware) when raising your child. So, you can be little better prepared and you can react properly. Remember: Nothing, nothing Is more important than the way that you React to it

Book excerpt: A thrilling gothic horror novel about biracial twin sisters separated at birth, perfect for fans of Lovecraft Country and The Vanishing Half As infants, twin sisters Charlie Yates and Magnolia Heathwood were secretly separated after the brutal lynching of their parents, who died for loving across the color line. Now, at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, Charlie is a young Black organizer in Harlem, while white-passing Magnolia is the heiress to a cotton plantation in rural Georgia. Magnolia knows nothing of her racial heritage, but secrets are hard to keep in a town haunted by the ghosts of its slave-holding past. When Magnolia finally learns the truth, her reflection mysteriously disappears from mirrors—the sign of a terrible curse. Meanwhile, in Harlem, Charlie's beloved grandmother falls ill. Her final wish is to be buried back home in Georgia—and, unbeknownst to Charlie, to see her long-lost granddaughter, Magnolia Heathwood, one last time. So Charlie travels into the Deep South, confronting the land of her worst nightmares—and Jim Crow segregation. The sisters reunite as teenagers in the deeply haunted town of Eureka, Georgia, where ghosts linger centuries after their time and dangers lurk behind every mirror. They couldn’t be more different, but they will need each other to put the hauntings of the past to rest, to break the mirrors’ deadly curse—and to discover the meaning of sisterhood in a racially divided land.

Book excerpt: An innovative, two-in-one picture book follows a parallel day in the life of two families: one in a Western city and one in a North African village. Somewhere in Sydney, Australia, a boy and his family wake up, eat breakfast, and head out for a busy day of shopping. Meanwhile, in a small village in Morocco, a boy and his family go through their own morning routines and set out to a bustling market. In this ingenious, wordless picture book, readers are invited to compare, page by page, the activities and surroundings of children in two different cultures. Their lives may at first seem quite unalike, but a closer look reveals that there are many things, some unexpected, that connect them as well. Designed to be read side by side — one from the left and the other from the right — these intriguing stories are told entirely through richly detailed collage illustrations.

Download or read book The Red Mirror written by Chihua Wen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These evocative stories bring to life the tragic personal impact of the Cultural Revolution on the families of China's intellectuals. Now adults, survivors recall their childhood during the tumultuous years between 1965 and 1976, when Mao's death finally drew a curtain on a bitterly failed social and political experiment.A series of first-person narratives eloquently describes the life-long influence of this seminal period on China's children. Those who were teenagers in the late 1960s joined the Red Guards and the revolutionary rebel groups, following Mao's directives to make revolution, often to their own undoing. Those who were too young to participate directly were even more vulnerable. Although they had little understanding of the political firestorm that engulfed their parents, they were old enough to understand and feel the terror it brought. Vividly capturing the emotional intensity of the time, these stories explore what it was like to be caught up in revolutionary fervor, to be sent to the countryside, to be separated,either ideologically or physically,from one's parents, often forever.By undermining families and family structure, the Cultural Revolution created a generation of Chinese who view politics, the Communist Party, and life itself with deep cynicism. Presenting a spectrum of individual stories of people who saw the Cultural Revolution through the eyes of a child, The Red Mirror offers rare insights for understanding the crippling legacy of the Cultural Revolution.

Download or read book Trapped in the Mirror written by Elan Golomb, PhD and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling book, Elan Golomb identifies the crux of the emotional and psychological problems of millions of adults. Simply put, the children of narcissist—offspring of parents whose interest always towered above the most basic needs of their sons and daughters—share a common belief: They believe they do not have the right to exist. The difficulties experienced by adult children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways: for examples, physical self-loathing that takes form of overeating, anorexia, or bulimia; a self-destructive streak that causes poor job performance and rocky personal relationships; or a struggle with the self that is perpetuated in the adult's interaction with his or her own children. These dilemmas are both common and correctable, Dr. Golomb tells us. With an empathic blend of scholarship and case studies, along with her own personal narrative of her fight for self, Dr. Golomb plumbs the depths of this problem, revealing its mysterious hold on the affairs of otherwise bright, aware, motivated, and worthy people. Trapped in the Mirror explores. the nature of the paralysis and lack of motivation so many adults feel stress and its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs why do many of our relationships seem to be "reruns" of the past how one's body image can be formed by faulty parenting how anger must be acknowledge to be overcome and, most important, how even the most traumatized self can be healed. Rooted in a profoundly humanist traditional approach, and suffused with the benefit of the latest knowledge about intrafamily relationships, Trapped in the Mirror offers more than the average self-help book; it is truly the first self-heal book for millions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the closet was dark and damp, it was a safe haven for the little girl hiding inside. 'Do you hear God's wrath, girl?' the monster raved. 'He's punishing you for not doing as you're told.' Liz covered her ears, trying to block out the screams coming from the other side of the closet door as lightning shrieked and thunder roared through the mountains surrounding the old farmhouse. In Child in the Mirror, Liz is torn between the excitement of a fresh start in the 'Big City' and an ever-present black cloud looming overhead. Desperately she tries to fit in, but her imagination is relentless, playing tricks with her mind until she finally contemplates the possibility of going insane. The reader is exposed to the scars of an abusive childhood, a little girl's cry for help, and a young couple's desperate attempt to save their newborn son. Join Liz on her journey into a world of black flowing gowns, rosary beads, and crisp white habits. Join her on trips to New York City in the 1930s filled with colorful characters, family traditions, culture, and an examination of religion versus spirituality.
