Download or read book Giggle More Worry Less written by Gregory Parkinson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents love. Parents worry. Parenthood is a joy. It is difficult and stressful as well. How can you maximize the joy and minimize the stress? That is the goal of this book. Giggling is perhaps the most beautiful sound in nature. It makes those who hear it smile, especially when it comes from a child. Doctors' offices have too much crying and not enough giggling. The same is true of many homes. "Giggle More, Worry Less" is a different kind of parenting book. It is not an encyclopedia. Instead, it focuses on important topics. I want you to understand when to worry, and when to relax. This way you can focus more time on love and having fun- giggling, as it were. Common sense is central to my approach, and so is compassion and so is a sense of humor. You will learn "How to manipulate your mother" and that "Spit happens." Each of the topics is covered in just a few pages, so you can choose what you need, when you need it. As a pediatrician and father for 20 years, I have learned to laugh at myself and to adapt. My approach to pediatrics is traditional. Having said that, I am willing to question whether our teaching makes sense. With experience, you learn that even absolute, official guidelines have a habit of evolving every few years. Just ask your parents- they will tell you that "everything has changed" since you were a baby. Learning to listen is essential. Patients and parents are often trying to tell the doctor what is going on if he or she is just able to listen. The same is true for babies communicating with their parents. This book ultimately tries to hone in on things that every parent should know. If I could sit down and share with you, this is what I would share. I hope it helps.

Maybe they are behind on certain milestones, struggling in school, having difficulty making friends, or heading off to college and away from home for the first time. Their problems or struggles become your own, and you end up feeling so anxious that you forget what it’s like to just enjoy being their parent. The good news is that you can rewire your “parent brain” to respond differently to these challenges. This book will show you how to replace parental anxiety with parental effectiveness. In Overcoming Parental Anxiety, three anxiety specialists team up to help you change your anxious brain using the core principles of neuroscience and exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. You’ll learn how to overcome worry by identifying your parental values, paying attention to the moment, and cultivating self-compassion. Most importantly, you’ll find targeted exercises to help minimize parenting related worry and anxiety, so you can live more fully and enjoy the shared experiences you have with your children. Thanks to the brain’s lifelong ability to create new neural connections, you can achieve that coveted and elusive sense of calm that seems to come so easily to some parents. And by practicing the simple neuroscience-based skills in this book, you can overcome your parental anxiety, stress less, and be more present with your kids. Why not get started now?

Download or read book Motel of the Mysteries written by David Macaulay and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1979-10-11 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson's incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.

Book excerpt: American soldiers who returned from the war in Vietnam were not always treated kindly or with understanding. For Culver, his memory of the love he and Mabel shared before he went to war was a painful reminder of how his life was changed by being in Vietnam. A Hero’s Welcome, in the words of leading Vietnam War literature critic David Willson, “has got baseball, summer camp, college dorm life, and war. It’s got everything. This is an all-American novel.” It’s about how one veteran rediscovered America and about how America treated those it sent to fight an unpopular war. “A classic of the American war in Vietnam War. A brilliant novel of love gone wrong. Naparsteck makes the 1960’s come alive.” —David Willson, co-editor of Vietnam War Literature: An Annotated Bibliography; Willson [please note: he has two l’s in his name] is widely considered one of the nation’s leading experts on Vietnam War literature). Date: February 2000 Martin Naparsteck’s writing is “knee deep in particulars, with the power of close-focus psychological observation.” —Veronica Geng, Mississippi Review, Fall 1964 Naparsteck’s writing “takes risks and survives, indeed prospers because of its honesty….As readers and human beings we all too seldom reflect on truth until we’ve the fortune to read authors like the one here.” —novelist Colin Hester, Diamond Sutra, 1997 “Quirky, playful, and original, the work of Martin Naparsteck is not easily forgotten.” —Janet Hutchings, editor of Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, July 1996

Rina never had control over anything in her life, besides a fierce determination of becoming a great romance author.

They spend their daily workdays between bickering, dealing with the town’s crazy residents, and a little bit of passive aggression (Are lawyers people?). Will a big new case make them bond and let Darren finally see the world through his pink-haired assistant’s romantic eyes? And what will that mean for her plans of leaving Yellow Meadows? *For romantic bookworms and pink haired believers.
