The Kucks hope that their inspirational story will bring encouragement and life to others. This book is written by a family that had a child with very special needs. Their son, Nathaniel Timothy Kuck, was born prematurely with multiple birth anomalies. Through their personal experience with their son, they saw first-hand how demanding it can be to raise a child with special needs. Despite spending the next four and a half years in hospitals, with Nathaniel undergoing surgeries, therapies and many challenges, the Kucks were able to see that to each life there is value and purpose. What may appear to be imperfect in the eyes of humans really is perfect in the sight of God. Although the Kucks lost their son, they are committed to helping other families to care for their VIP Kids and educating communities about how these families can be Buddies.

Specialty Press, Incorporated, U.S. Living Well with ADHD
Book SynopsisIs ADHD a curse or a blessing—or a neurological difference that you can thrive with? Living Well with ADHD accepts the scientific evidence that ADHD can have disabling effects, but it challenges "disability thinking." It is less about coping with disability than using abilities; less about changing your brain than living skillfully with it. Living Well with ADHD presents a different way to think about your difference. It encourages you to take charge of your life. It is not about overcoming a problem, but living mindfully and competently, and making the best of your creative potential. This book is based on the real-world, personal and clinical experiences of author Terry Huff, psychotherapist and founder of an enduring and popular ADHD support group.

Rutgers University Press Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.:
Book SynopsisThis book is part of a concentrated series of books that examines child maltreatment across minoritized, cultural groups.Specifically, this volume addresses American Indian and Alaska Native populations. However, in an effort to contextualize the experiences of 574 federally recognized tribes and 50+ state recognized tribes, as well as villages, the authors focus on populations within rural and remote regions and discuss the experiences of some tribal communities throughout US history. It should be noted that established research has primarily drawn attention to the pervasive problems impacting Indigenous individuals, families, and communities. Aligned with an attempt to adhere to a decolonizing praxis, the authors share information in a strength-based framework for the Indigenous communities discussed within the text. The authors review federally funded programs (prevention, intervention, and treatment) that have been adapted for tribal communities (e.g., Safecare) and include cultural teachings that address child maltreatment. The intention of this book is to inform researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and advocates about the current state of child maltreatment from an Indigenous perspective.Trade Review“A thoughtful read on the history of child maltreatment. Origin stories are important, and this book presents a native perspective that shifts the questions of how, what, and why from individual families to the broader perspective of nation building that degraded and, in many ways, eliminated support networks and destroyed tribal identity for many children. This book clearly illustrates these heartbreaking outcomes while also giving hope by restoring the origin stories of identity and reclaiming lost children.” -- Dolores Subia BigFoot * Presidential Professor and Director of the Indian Country Child Trauma Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center *"This book by Royleen Ross, Julii Green, and Milton Fuentes is essential reading for anyone interested in the prevention of child maltreatment in American Indian/Alaska Native communities. The stories in this book highlight the loving, rich history of these communities and how they care for and protect their children today." -- Marlyn Bennett * co-editor of Imagining Child Welfare in the Spirit of Reconciliation: Voices from the Prairies *“A thoughtful read on the history of child maltreatment.

Rutgers University Press A World of Many: Ontology and Child Development
Book SynopsisA World of Many explores the world-making efforts of Tzotzil Maya children from two different localities within the municipality of Chenalhó, Chiapas. The research demonstrates children’s agency in creating their worlds, while also investigating the role played by the surrounding social and physical environment. Different experiences with schooling, parenting, goals and values, but also with climate change, water scarcity, as well as racism and settler colonialism form part of the reason children create their emerging worlds. These worlds are not make believe or anything less than the ontological products of their parents. Instead, Norbert Ross argues that by creating different worlds, the children ultimately fashion themselves into different human beings - quite literally being different in the world. A World of Many combines experimental research from the cognitive sciences with critical theory, exploring children’s agency in devising their own ontologies. Rather than treating children as somewhat incomplete humans, it understands children as tinkerers and thinkers, makers of their worlds amidst complex relations. It regards being as a constant ontological production, where life and living constitutes activism. Using experimental paradigms, the book shows that children locate themselves differently in these emerging worlds they create, becoming different human beings in the process.Trade Review"Norbert Ross questions the foundations of everything—the architecture of reality, knowledge, and learning—in his investigations of the Mexican community of Chenalhó. The observations and experiences of Tzotzil maya children help us understand what it is to be human, to be alive, and to have a soul and how life is activism. This methodologically innovative and theoretically intricate project invites readers to appreciate in a nuanced and profound way diversity in humanity and ways of being in the world." -- Kathryn Sampeck * co-editor of Substance and Seduction: Ingested Commodities in early Modern Mesoamerica *"I love books like this that challenge us to turn our thinking about ontology upside down. Scholars of young people often begin by examining what ontology teaches about childhood. We can forget how valuable it is to explore how notions of childhood actually reshape ontology. A World of Many is a successful experiment in inverting our assumptions about what we think we know about what we know." -- Rachael Stryker * co-editor of Up, Down, and Sideways: Anthropologists Trace the Pathways of Powe *Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 A World Where Other Worlds Can Be at Home 3 Ontology and Resistance 4 Folk-Biological Knowledge, Education, and Framework Theories 5 Study Design and Methods 6 Complexity, Niche Theory, and Cultural Models 7 From Subsistence to Extraction: Globalization, Change, and Spatial Organization in Chenalhó 8 Knowledge Sources and Learning Biases: Experience, Values, and Ontologies 9 Growing Up in Chenalhó: Knowledge Sources and the Spatial Distribution of Change and Modernity 10 What Is It Called?
