Naomi Mitchison had travelled to India in 1951 and to Madras (Chennai) in 1958, after which she visited her brother Jack. He was by then living an Indian lifestyle in Calcutta (Kolkata) with which she found it difficult to empathise - in stark contrast to her own later immersion in a Botswana community. As was her habit, she sought to understand the country and her reactions to it by looking at the role of women, in their homes and in society. This led to the writing of Judy and Lakshmi. The developing friendship between two girls is the framework for an open and straightforward account of the ethnic and cultural issues across the country at an important time in its history. It captures with a deft touch the nuances of social interactions and their consequences. The style may be dated, but the message remains relevant.

This book is intended to be an eye-opening experience that will awaken you to a new way of parenting. WISED & RISING! will flood you with a desire to be more conscious when it comes to your parenting, no matter who you are. We all use parenting that has been installed by many different circumstances, belief systems, trauma, fear, denial and conditioning. It is time for these cycles to end. We are all One, are unique, and matter equally. Our Life Force is just as great at conception, as it is right up until death. How we govern our physical, emotional, and spiritual beings determines our experience through life. Let's open our eyes now and change our parenting styles in order to invoke the muchly needed change for our children. This book is written with love and experience in the attempts to assist a new generation to stay within their truest natures of their being. I love you all! Tobi xo

A child's early years lay the foundation for nurturing a child's faith and planting the seeds of how they are valued in God's eyes. The insights of how children think and how they process the world around them help us to meet their needs while building trust. The first five years form the basis for this trust. They are learning everything--from walking, talking, understanding, feeling, learning right from wrong, and mastering the English language. They live in a world of fantasy where anything is possible. Children tend to believe anything we tell them without question! That is why we must be especially careful what we say to them.Self-evaluation of our personalities, our journey through life, and how all this has molded our faith and affected our communication can help us raise our children. We can learn to be more sensitive to the little soul God has given us. These little ones are like a new journal, and as parents, we get the blessing to write on the first pages of a child's life. These are the tender years. These years are the foundation of a child's view of themself, their faith, and the world around them.

Managing Stress and Distress is part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and in school. Managing Stress and Distress offers an accessible introduction to how heightened stress levels in young people can lead to distressed behaviour--and how to manage both. We have left behind a time when schools found it easier to exclude 'difficult' children than understand them, but the evolutionary and psychological factors that often underpin stress responses and their resulting problematic behaviours remain poorly understood. Offering a complete, compassionate guide to what stress is, how it arises, the purpose it serves, and the issues it can cause, Stan Godek argues for a trauma-informed approach of managing short-term distress while also reducing long-term stress levels via a regular practice of mindfulness--and shows how parents, carers, teachers, and schools can help.

My classmate Mike Burke and I toured the Anne Frank Foundation (Fonds) Annex in Amsterdam, Holland, and after visiting the gift shop, ventured over to a downstairs diner across the street. Soon an elderly gentleman asked if he might sit with us and so he did. Noticing my two books, A Diary of a Young Girl and Europe on 5 Dollars a Day, he asked to see one. As I passed him the Europe book, he shook his head, and asked for the other one. As the man spoke of the site which we had just toured, we were spellbound but had no clue who he was. This gentle man took our receipts, and exited, but not before handing me his card: Otto H. Frank, father of Anne Frank. This true story begins on April 17, 1968. Born in East Orange, N.J., Father Ken Ekdahl has also lived in California, Florida, Georgia and Rome, Italy, while traveling and living in many other places. An alumnus of Mt. St. Mary's University ('69), Father also attended Loyola University of Rome ('67/'68). In September of 1969, Fr. Ken was employed by CNA Insurance in New York City and later moved to AIG in New York and Los Angeles as an Accident and Health Senior Underwriter, returning three years later. After much prayer and guidance, Fr. chose to enter Pope (St.) John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, MA in the fall of 1986. Ordained May 18, 1991 for the Diocese of Trenton, he served in all four counties of the Diocese (Mercer, Burlington, Ocean and Monmouth). Although he has written several plays, and has always loved writing poetry, songs and stories, this is his first (non-fiction) book.
