Taylor & Francis Ltd Life After My Mothers Stroke
Book SynopsisTashi Hansen du Toit was 15 years old when her mother, Karen, suffered a severe haemorrhagic stroke which left her with multiple physical and cognitive impairments. This beautifully written and poignant account tells Tashi's story from the first moments after her mother's stroke, following her and her family through the experience of her mother's hospitalisation and rehabilitation. Tashi offers a rare glimpse into the impact of her mother's stroke on her family and on her life as a teenager as she juggles the stresses and demands of family, school, and friends alongside coping with her mother's brain injury. As she describes how she is learning to cope with her unresolved grief three years on, she provides hope, perspective, and insight on how to work towards growth and acceptance despite the catastrophe of a parent's stroke.Presenting the rarely heard adolescent perspective on parental brain injury, Tashi's moving story also features Karen's account as she comes toTrade Review"This is a raw, honest, poignant and powerful account written by a teenager whose life has fallen apart following her mother having a stroke. All too often our academic textbooks consider the survivor of an acquired brain injury and do not look at the trauma those around them face. This young lady was embarking on her teenage years, finding her own identity, carving out her future when fate intervened and her life changed. The reader is taken through a journey of grief, loss, compassion, learned helplessness and hope and will find themselves crying and laughing with Tashi and I can guarantee the reader will not put the book down untouched by her account of life during this hugely challenging time. One lesson we as Clinicians working in the field of acquired brain injury should take away is the importance of asking the family how they are, engaging with them away from their loved one, ensuring their needs are met as much as the patients we treat - this I believe is holistic neurorehabilitation." - Dr Anita Rose, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist at Renovo Care Group"This account of a teenager’s experience of her mother’s stroke is undeniably a raw, emotional and deeply insightful read. Tashi Hansen Du Toit, along with her father Pieter DuToit, have successfully expressed what a lot of families experience when their loved one has a stroke. Tashi writes beautifully about her experience, her thoughts, her fears and her hopes. The family’s vulnerability in writing about their experience will be valuable to families, as well as those who provide care for stroke patients. Adolescents are often under a significant amount of pressure when it comes to school, social situations and their developing identity; to endure a parent’s stroke at that time creates a unique situation which is often different to other members of the family. The advice provided in this book is useful, not only to teenagers, but to all who experience the ambiguous loss associated with changes after stroke. I was lucky enough to support Tashi’s mum during her rehab and witness her determination, perseverance and the deep love she has for and received from her family; this love shines through this written account and I believe that this book will prove helpful to those that read it." - Alexandra Rose CPsychol, PGDipNeuro, Principal Clinical Psychologist, The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, Putney, London"This is a raw, honest, poignant and powerful account written by a teenager whose life has fallen apart following her mother having a stroke.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Development of Memory in Infancy and
Book SynopsisThe Development of Memory in Infancy and Childhood provides a thorough update and expansion of the previous edition and offers new research on significant themes and ideas that have emerged in the past decade such as the cognitive neuroscience of memory development, autobiographical memory and infantile amnesia, and the cognitive and social factors that underlie memory for events. In this volume, Courage and Cowan bring together leading international experts to review the current state of the science of memory development in their own research areas. They note questions of theory and basic science addressed in their research, highlight the real-world applications of those findings, and propose an agenda for future research. The book also considers the implications of their work for the development of atypical children, specifically, how these new findings might be adapted to enrich the lives of those children and to inform and validate our current expectations of indTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Childrens Geographies Playing Living Learning Critical Geographies
Book SynopsisChildren''s Geographies is an overview of a rapidly expanding area of cutting edge research. Drawing on original research and extensive case studies in Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, the book analyses children''s experiences of playing, living and learning.The diverse case studies range from an historical analysis of gender relationss in nineteenth century North American playgrounds through to children''s experiences of after school care in contemporary Britain, to street cultures amongst homeless children in Indonesia at the end of the twentieth century. Threaded through this empirical diversity, is a common engagement with current debates about the nature of childhood.The individual chapters draw on contemporary sociological understandings of children''s competence as social actors. In so doing they not only illustrate the importance of such an approach to our understandings of children''s geographies, they also contribute to current debates about Trade Review'For anyone interested in perceptions of childhood and children's use of public space, this book, the first of it's kind, is an interesting and valuable contribution to an emerging and increasingly interesting knowledge base. A fascinating and detailed look at how children from widely differing pats of the world spend their free time and use public open spaces.' - Issy Cole-Hamilton, Policy and Research Officer, Children's Play Council for Children's Society published in association with the National Children's Bureau'This is an important book ... It provides an interesting and thought-provoking read, and offers a good base for what is an important developing sub discipline in geographical thinking. It is pleasing to see the quality of research projects upon which the discourses are based.' - International Journal of Population Geography Table of Contents1.
