A Childcare Portrait

It also emphasizes how warm, quasi-familial, even mentoring relationships can develop between childcare providers and their preschool families.

Unlocking the Potential of Your ADD Child

Jeffrey Freed and Laurie Parsons provide an effective method for helping children with Attention Deficit Disorder excel in a classroom setting.

In straightforward language, this book explains how to use the innovative "Learning Styles Inventory" to test for a right-brained learning style; help an ADD child master spelling--and build confidence--by committing complicated words to visual memory; tap an ADD kid's amazing speed-reading abilities by stressing sight recognition and scanning rather than phonics; access the child's capacity to solve math problems of increasing, often astonishing complexity--without pen or paper; capitalize on the "writing and weaning" technique to help the child turn mental images into written words; and win over teachers and principals to the right-brained approach the ADD child thrives on. For parents who have longed to help their ADD child quickly and directly, Freed and Parsons's approach is nothing short of revolutionary. This is the first book to offer them reason for hope and a clear strategy for enabling their child to blossom.

What Everyone Needs to Know®

An accessible overview of the power of women in the economy and the obstacles they face Women are joining the workforce in increasing numbers, making inroads as entrepreneurs and leaders, acquiring more education, marrying later, and having fewer children - all trends consistent with spending a far greater fraction of their adult lives in the labor force. And yet, even as women break the glass ceiling and challenge gender and sexual norms, they are told they need to "lean in" and powerful movements like #TimesUP and #MeToo are still necessary to expose and overcome endemic discrimination, exploitation, harassment, and worse. Women in the Workforce: What Everyone Needs to Know ® provides an essential and accessible introduction to the significance of women in the economy and the obstacles they face in claiming equal status. Economists Laura M. Argys and Susan L. Averett tackle timely topics like the wage gap, "women's work," and gendered workplace interactions in an easy-to-read question and answer format. The book focuses on the choices people make and how these are framed by institutional impediments that create inequalities in the options available to men and women. Argys and Averett highlight how the experience of being a woman in the labor market varies, sometimes dramatically, by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. They also explore how living in cities, towns, and rural areas influence choices and outcomes. Covering a range of topics, from breastfeeding and work, on-ramps for women who have taken time away from work, and childcare while women work, to the distinctive challenges women face as they age and transition to retirement, this book answers the essential questions surrounding women in the workforce.

5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do

Relationship expert and counselor Dr. Morgan Cutlip equips mothers with five simple steps for combating the chaos of motherhood, defeating feelings of guilt and inadequacy, and deeply loving their kids without neglecting or losing themselves. With her advanced degrees in human development and counseling psychology, Dr. Morgan Cutlip thought she was overqualified for motherhood. But after her first child was born, she was blindsided by the loss of freedom, increased responsibilities, pervasive fear and anxiety, and consuming guilt. Determined to find a solution, she dug into her training and current research to form an easy-to-follow, five-step process for mothers to use, one that shows them how to love their kids without losing themselves. In this compelling new book, Dr. Cutlip urges moms to mother themselves like they mother their kids, applying their skills as master caregivers not only to their children but also to themselves. The five-step plan guides them through complicated and contradictory messages about motherhood, helps them combat negative feelings and thoughts, and shows them how to recalibrate amid demanding schedules and myriad needs, connecting with themselves in a way that will transform the whole family. Today's moms are burned out, and self-care platitudes do little to help them navigate the demands of motherhood. This powerful self-help book delivers a path for moms to care for themselves without forsaking their kids or their treasured role as mothers.
