Review & Description

That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN is for all those bleary-eyed families who sincerely believe that they will never again enjoy a full night of sleep. Seen through the eyes of an exhausted sibling, this book is guaranteed to bring a smile to even the most fatigued members of a sleep-deprived household. Can you count the number of nights you slept after you baby was born? Do you remember--or are you now suffering through--the cries that can mean anything from Change me now, to I'm hungry, to Time to come in and play with me? In Sherry Ellis' That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN, there's no question about who's the head of the household. It's the baby! The little darling who was born with feed-and-play-on-demand talents is making his message clear: I want you...and I want you now! Ms. Ellis understands the world of the sleep-deprived and felt compelled to write a book that might make every family's sleepless nights bearable. Thus, the first lines of the book: "I was sleeping in my bed and a dream was in my head when..." That baby woke me up, AGAIN!

Review & Description

Annie Hynes is a tomboy. Naïve and love-starved, she’ll soon to be celebrating her big 3-0. Something needs to be done! Celi, her ‘down-to-earth’ guardian angel appears to help kick-start Annie’s big change—her looks, her job, her whole life. By taking a managerial position with a sophisticated shoe manufacturer, Annie becomes embroiled with her new associates and hooked on the power of big business. Unfortunately, her exhaustion from overwork forces her to ignore old friends, and her lapse places someone she cares about in terrible danger.

Social Worker, Tyler Jones, previously hurt in two relationships, signals disinterest in women, and only wants Annie in his life as a good buddy. Oh yeah! And to help with his mixed-up street kids. Perversely, once her life alters, he misses her like hell. In one sweet night of loving everything changes. But, due to an overabundance of nightcaps, she doesn’t remember the night he can’t forget.

Cooperation Counts!: Life-Saving Strategies For Parenting Toddlers to Teens (Paperback)

Cooperation Counts!: Life-Saving Strategies For Parenting Toddlers to Teens (Paperback)

Review & Description

Jean Hamburg, LICSW earned her B.S. degree from Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts and her MSW from the University of Denver, Graduate School of Social Work, specializing in Child Welfare services. The mother of two internationally adopted daughters from Honduras and Guatemala, Jean has also provided care to many foster children. She has traveled to Cambodia, The Virgin Islands and Germany, where she assisted in various children's programs. Jean has been helping families to find harmony with the Cooperation Counts system since 2003. You can contact the author at www.CooperationCounts.com. There is a common thread running through the fabric of all families: a wish to be able to enjoy each other as much of the time as possible. Cooperation Counts uses as its foundation, and with the author's generous permission, the counting clues portion from Dr. Thomas W. Phelan's groundbreaking book 1-2-3 Magic, Effective Discipline for Children 2-12, Fourth Edition, Parent Magic, Inc., 2010. Both programs assist families to get through tough parenting times minus criticism, hostility or anger. The Cooperation Counts system uses simple steps to address not so simple scenes such as tantrums, aggression, rude talk, refusals, miserable moods, homework hassles, sibling circumstances, morning madness, bedtime blues, school situations and many other potential daily life disaster difficulties. A TEACHER WRITES: Connecting home and school when the Cooperation Counts program is in place at home has resulted in dramatic positive changes in children's behaviors. For example, in one week's time, I saw an enormous turnaround in a four-year-old girl, who continued to maintain this growth for the entire school year. I highly recommend this program to families. Jeanne Knox, M.Ed. Hamilton, MA A FAMILY WRITES: The Cooperation Counts program helps everyone in the family to get on board and acts like a nice, solid rudder for the deep water parts of our family life journeys, and the best part is that we are all getting through the rough patches much more smoothly now ! The Garthe Family Marblehead, Ma A NEUROLOGIST WRITES: I am a pediatric neurologist who has turned to Jean Hamburg on numerous occasions to help me with some of my most challenging patients. Her passion, dedication and techniques have led to great success. I have often been able to avoid medicating patients when families use the Cooperation Counts methods. Patients of mine with behavioral issues who are on medication tend to do better with a combined medication and non-medication approach. Jean's behavioral plan and therapy is the non-medication approach I prefer the most. Dr. Lauren Kondev, M.D. Lexington, MA. Read more

Far from always coming from broken homes (the mythic "breakdown of the American family"), they frequently come from apparently normal social environments, which is how they learn how to put on a facde of normalcy to the outside world.An academic essay exploring an unlikely theory as to the creation of sex offenders and serial killers: Sex offenders are more likely to appear normal as to be able to blend in with the gerneral population and facility their hunt for victims.

Shadows in Winter: A Memoir of Love and Loss (Hardcover)

Shadows in Winter: A Memoir of Love and Loss (Hardcover)
By Eitan P. Fishbane

Buy new: $13.57

First tagged by Eitan Fishbane
Customer tags: tragedy, bereavement, grief, mourning, memoir, parenting, loss, death, grieving

Review & Description

In late February 2007, Leah Fishbane's life was flourishing.  A promising young graduate student in Jewish history, she was an adoring mother to her nearly four-year-old daughter and two months into a new pregnancy.  In an instant, all this was gone:  Leah was struck down suddenly with a previously undiagnosed brain tumor--her life ended, her family in despair.  In this deeply evocative memoir, written during the dark time of the first year following Leah's death, her husband Eitan gives voice to the overwhelming nature of mourning, and to the uplifting power of memory. He tells the story of his efforts to be a good father to his grieving child and of his self-discovery as a parent in ways he had not known before. Along this path, Fishbane asks fundamental questions about the meaning of death and life, about the place of God and faith in the experience of tragedy, about what it means to live with loss. The result is a poetic testament that will resonate with anyone who has known the depths of grief, anyone who seeks to console a loved one in pain. In giving honest expression to emotions that are at once particular and universal, Shadows in Winter offers a luminous window of comfort and hope to those battling the devastation of loss. Read more
