I'm Here and I'm Listening
Become the parent you want to beImagine knowing exactly how you can help your child feel deeply relaxed, so that they are cooperative and gentle and sleep peacefully.In this compassionate book for parents of 1-8 year olds, you'll understand the attachment-based, trauma-informed, reasons why children: -have tantrums;-hit other children;-get playful before bed;-cry over small things;-suck their thumb; and-do things that we ask them not to do and laugh.This culture often sees children as 'flawed', 'bad, ' or 'inferior'. As an antidote, I'm Here and I'm Listening can help you understand and work with your child's innate wisdom. Listening to their big feelings when they cry and rage, and playing with them in particular ways helps them to heal from trauma and everyday stress. They become calmer and more compassionate, as well as clear-thinking, competent, and confident.In I'm Here and I'm Listening, Dr. Rose describes elements of the Aware Parenting approach, created by Aletha Solter, PhD. Learn how you can also apply this paradigm to your own reparenting, to value your own needs and feelings, and create a more loving inner dialogue. Drop guilt and self-judgment and be compassionate with yourself, especially if you revert to cultural conditioning of rewards or threats, or if you get reactive because painful feelings from your own childhood emerge.In their behaviour and feelings, children are asking us: Will you stay here with me? Will you listen to me? Will you help me know I'm safe to feel my feelings? Do you love me, whatever I feel? This book will help your child know that the answer to each of these questions is a resounding yes!"I am delighted to recommend I'm Here and I'm Listening, which is packed with helpful information for navigating through the early childhood years without the use of punishments or rewards. Parents who are not yet familiar with Aware Parenting will learn compassionate and effective skills for responding to children's uncooperative or aggressive behavior and for resolving everyday conflicts about bedtime, sibling relationships, eating, and screen use. For those who are already familiar with Aware Parenting, this book will deepen their understanding of the approach. Throughout the book, Marion Rose invites her readers to explore the root causes of children's behavior and to question common cultural assumptions. She also encourages parents to delve into their own childhood memories to better understand their reactions to their children's behavior. Perhaps most importantly, this book will help parents feel good about themselves while becoming the kind of parents they want to be." - Aletha Solter, PhD, founder of Aware Parenting"This book offers a clear description of how we can remember who children are by nature, why they behave in ways that are not enjoyable for parents, and how we can support them with each challenge in the most loving and effective way." - Joss Goulden, Level 2 Aware Parenting instructor
Handbook of Therapeutic Life Story Work
'Life Story Work is something we do all the time, be it reminiscing with friends or family about a particular event or period of our lives, or keeping memorabilia, photographs, and written records. Reflecting on and re-examining past events and experiences helps us to make meaning of them in the present.'As a certified play therapist and a qualified social worker, Karla and Suzanne have come together as independent Therapeutic Life Story Work practitioners to explore their experiences and the challenges they have faced to guide other practitioners entering this important area of practice. They share journeys they have taken alongside the many families they have supported; drawn from completing Professor Richard Rose's Diploma in Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW).The authors take the reader through the process of Therapeutic Life Story Work from beginning to end, linking theory with practice. They identify areas to consider in preparing to do this work and the referral process, give practical first steps in information gathering, and provide a wealth of activities and techniques that can be undertaken in sessions. Written during the time of a global pandemic, it includes working on-line and the many creative ways of supporting children and adults in making meaning and creating a more coherent narrative of their lives.They share the complexities of working with birth families, neurodiversity, measuring outcomes and the recent strong evidence base for this intervention, as well as a unique model of creating therapeutic stories in therapeutic life story work. They highlight the importance of self-care and supervision when working with trauma, consider what to do when things go wrong, and the importance of creating emotional safety within this work. The content is drawn from many hours of work, challenges faced within the work, and an idea that it could be beneficial to others undertaking or interested in Therapeutic Life Story Work.Therapeutic Life Story Work is an area of practice that Karla and Suzanne are passionate about. They decided to write this book in response to the questions they are frequently asked about setting up as independent practitioners and how they work in practice. Their aim is to continue to support children and young people in their journey to make sense of their lives, as well as supporting practitioners and developing Therapeutic Life Story Work worldwide.The Handbook of Therapeutic Life Story Work is essential reading for those working with children, young people and adults, including social workers, therapists, family support workers, residential care staff, teachers, adopters, foster carers, special guardians, connected carers, students, psychologists and any other professionals involved in working with traumatised children.

The Last Kiss
Whatever an "End of Life Carer" was, I never knew before the Pandemic arrived. I certainly never thought that as a 58-year-old bloke that I would ever become one. Then my cooking oil distribution company folded, and my life changed forever.Three years later and my business is back but I am still a part time member of a team that looks after people, in their own homes, who are in the last 4 weeks of their lives, and I love it.This book describes what happened over two days and 15 visits to palliative care patients to make me fall in love with the job. Fifteen visits to people coming to the end of their lives and supporting their families through that time.There are tears and drama of course but also joy and laughter. For me this is 'Nursing' at it's best and the team of Carer's I met at that time so skilled in so many ways. They know how to read the room, take anxiety out of difficult situations and provide a physical and emotional safety net for patients, relatives and friends. All Carer's do an amazing job but for me, Palliative Care carers become specialists in their own right.Everyone's end of life has a story and this is a description of what some of those look like for most of us.

Are You Ready?
In moments of excitement, couples tend to make many promises from a cloudy, filtered place of assumptions and presumptions. However, for many, these promises do not come from a deceptive place. Because, sitting in on many counselling sessions, very few indeed come with deceptiveness, and needless to say, they soon find how challenging life can become keeping unrealistic expectations. But for the most part, the challenges that individuals may encounter are simply because of naivety and being ill-equipped to embark on the journey they excitedly set out for.So, in this book, I aim to pose familiar promises I have heard from couples and endeavour to help other couples consider their motives and methods and draw confidence in God to stand triumphant. The content in this book will bring you to a higher level in your capacity, capability, sincerity, state of personal healing, personal and professional desire, and many more.
Unwanted Child
A Healing Memoir - The journey of a young girl going through emotional neglect, family issues, and broken hearts. I was born into a dysfunctional family, I spend most of my time alone. I was lonely and vulnerable. My vivid imagination kept me company, playing different roles. As an introverted highly sensitive girl, I felt everything to the max. Throughout my teen years, I did my best to hold on, yet my lack of love and affection did me wrong. I was an easy prey. I just wanted to love and be loved in return. Every time I fell, I stood back up and kept going because I believed in something better. I had faith and purpose. A deep dive into my childhood years, a coming-of-age journey of a girl struggling her way through life. Until she became a woman. For a long time, I was clueless, living day to day with the sole purpose of hoping for a better future. My vivid imagination kept me going. I was a loaded ship sailing in the open sea amidst many storms, yet without any safe port to unload. Despite it all, I managed to keep my head afloat. I have no superpowers, but I'm driven by a strong will to live and a positive mindset. I share my entire childhood; I take you with me to relevant situations, such as physical and emotional abuse and toxic relationships. If you're familiar with my writing, you'll know I love poetry. I've added some poems here and there whenever it felt necessary. I enjoy using poems to discuss sensitive subjects. They keep the wording light and let my creativity free. I'm a thought instigator. I share my thoughts and insights to motivate you whenever you need them. I love to make people reflect on everything, help them find new perspectives, and learn new things. Learn to let go of past struggles, embrace the present, and have a positive look toward the future. Dedicated to fellow physical and emotional Trauma survivors. No matter what you went through or are still going through, it doesn't define who you are as a person today or who you will be tomorrow. You have the power to change. Mindset is your driving force: you CAN change things. I understand some people are still reluctant to seek help, yet admitting you are struggling and can't get through it alone is a sign of courage and strength. You're already stronger than you think. If my book resonated with you, you're welcome to follow me on social media and reach out if you need to discuss it with me. I'm here to help, as nobody should go through this alone.
Walking Wisdoms
Welcome, dear reader, to the grand continuation of a journey that is about to get even grander. If you thought "Walking Wisdoms Book #1" had you chuckling, pondering, and occasionally wiping away a rogue tear, brace yourself. "Walking Wisdoms Book #2" promises more laughter, more wisdom, and yes, more secrets, as we dive deeper into the treasure trove of Menalik's paternal wisdom.Now, I must forewarn you: this isn't your typical self-help book where the secrets to life are neatly packaged in bullet points and checklists. Oh no. We're dealing with Menalik here. A man whose life lessons are served with a generous side of humor, a dash of African-American flair, and the kind of storytelling that makes you want to pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, or perhaps, a glass of something stronger, and just listen.In this volume, we navigate through the bustling streets of relationships, peek into the silent conversations of understanding, and learn why every dad needs to have "the talk" about bear spray with their daughters. And just when you think you've got a handle on things, Menalik throws in a curveball, reminding us that life, much like this book, is unpredictable, beautifully complex, and hilariously absurd.

Just Because He Is...
So what might a woman be thinking, if she has her eye on a man or a potential date? What if, after some time, she perceives a very admirable trait about that man? What if this appealing asset begins to provoke thoughts that he might be "the one?" This book encourages women, particularly women who profess Christianity, to take a deep breath, step back, and whisper a prayer. This book commends a woman who appreciates a particularly fine attribute in a man; however, it counsels women in these circumstances to pause and consider carefully before allowing their thoughts and feelings to move too fast. In JUST BECAUSE HE IS..., the author offers twelve representative scenarios based on real-world interactions that highlight potential pitfalls associated with allowing a single manly attribute, however wonderful an asset it may represent, to cloud her judgment or to miss discerning other serious shortcomings that might greatly affect the happiness or longevity of a relationship. Sometimes, but fortunately, not always, the shine can lose its luster when seen through a different lens. The author also challenges men to read JUST BECAUSE HE IS...and she looks forward to receiving their feedback! Men, ask yourself, "Do I fit into any one of these twelve scenarios, or perhaps another of a similar nature?" Talk about it among your male peers! Let the author hear from you at Scrabble211@gmail.com. The author also prays that God will inspire a man of faith to write a companion book entitled, Just Because She Is...

Strong Women, Fed-Up Men, Defeated Sons, Broken Daughters
HEALING GENERATIONAL PAIN THROUGH UNDERSTANDING. FORGIVENESS. PURPOSE. SELF-CARE. SELF-LOVE. SACRIFICIAL LOVE. As the saying goes, those who don't know history are destined to repeat it. In Strong Women, Fed-Up Men, Defeated Sons, Broken Daughters, Mark Momplaisir calls for rebuilding a culture that was founded on racial disparity, brokenness, detrimental patterns inherited from slavery, and generational hurt. Mark's plea for mental, spiritual, and physical healing arises from the fundamental understanding that people of African descent have endured a painful past. A past that has defined who we are, how we are, and where we are. In order to be the people we were intended to be, and to live the purposeful, peaceful, and meaningful life we were created to live, we must understand our history, the lessons our parents taught us, and how our past influences our behavior and relationships. Our communities are being torn apart by dysfunctional, unhealthy, and unproductive ways of interacting with one another. Mark explains how understanding, self-love, self-care, purpose, forgiveness, grace, and sacrificial love can create a life that is peaceful and purpose-filled. In his book, Mark shows us how to embark on the journey of healing, learning, and unlearning generational patterns so we can live a life of peace, happiness, and prosperity.

After about eight years of enjoying his adventure of that achievement, he discovered a slow pitch ball. He began playing ball again, which he enjoyed so much in his youth.
