Hay House UK Ltd Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents
Book SynopsisThis practical guide for parents of young children with autism or developmental delays outlines simple and effective practices for developing communication, social and behavioural skills.Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age, yet children are often not diagnosed until they are four or five years old. In Turn Autism Around, Dr Mary Barbera explains why parents can’t afford to worry and wait in long lines for evaluations and treatment while not knowing how to help their children. She empowers parents, caregivers and early intervention professionals to regain hope and take back control with simple strategies to dramatically improve outcomes for their children.Dr Barbera has created a new approach to teaching kids with developmental delays that uses the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) married with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use – whether or not their child has delays. This approach teaches communication skills and socialization strategies, as well as tackling sleep, eating, potty training and behaviour challenges in a positive, effective and lasting way. Turn Autism Around is the first book of its kind that calls attention to an important fact: parents can make a tremendous impact on their child’s development through behavioural practices taught at home, in as little as 15 minutes a day. This programme shows that developmental delays can be remediated, and in some cases, delays can be caught up altogether, if parents intervene while the child is young. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can change the trajectory of their child’s and family’s life.

Critical Publishing Ltd Dilemmas and Decision Making in Residential
Book SynopsisThe perfect guide for new workers entering residential childcare. Adopting a case study approach, this book contains a collection of stories of good practice told from the point of view of the residential care worker that help to demonstrate how they deal with dilemmas and make effective decisions in the moment. Workers in residential childcare have to quickly understand the complexity of how young people's early neglect, abuse and relational trauma impact their lives. There are also conflicts and relationship challenges in abundance. This collection of stories illustrates good practice told from the point of view of the residential care worker and demonstrates their thinking in action around ethical dilemmas, different courses of action taken and why they made these decisions. This book also talks about how effective communication with other adults in the team can de-escalate risk and how to carry out dynamic risk assessments. The users can apply their knowledge obtained from this book through the use of reflective questions which offers relevant neutral material where workers can take a step back from the emotive situations they are currently working in and reflect on the hypothetical. It is also intended that the scenarios in this book can be used as a springboard for further learning or as scenarios in an interview. Trade Review"Supervisors and practice teachers have long struggled to support workers and students to bring appropriate theory to residential child care, and often revert to what they know from casework oriented approaches. This small book confirms what I have always believed to be at the root of this difficulty, and that it that there is just too much going on in the life-spaces where adults and children come together in the course of everyday living to be able to package it in the nice clean ways that students, workers and managers would like to think we should be able to... The book should be a boon to practice educators and supervisors supporting students and workers as they embark on what Abbi Jackson recognises as the ‘unique privilege’ of life-space work." -- Mark Smith * Professor of Social Work, University of Dundee *"This unique book provides in depth perspectives on the complex task of effectively caring for children living in residential care. It is written in a heartfelt way and is immensely useful for all staff working in such settings or those considering or supporting these roles. The overarching emphasis is on placing children, and the trauma they have experienced, at the very centre of the task of the residential child care worker. It does this by the skilful use of fictional case vignettes, “Today’s Events” and reflective tasks for workers and staff teams to undertake. Personal challenges for staff are acknowledged including how sometimes this complex work can test our ability to remain the ‘adult in the room’. In doing this it provides the possibility to work in not just a trauma informed way but in a trauma responsive way." -- Dr Janet Melville-Wiseman * Principal Lecturer in Social Work & Member of the Association of Care Experienced Social Care Workers (ACESCW) *Table of ContentsIntroduction Communicating micro skills – self-reflection Mark Zanita Millie Stewart Peter Bohemia Josh Sorrell Hakim Poppy A Thing called Love The Earned Wisdom of Children End Notes Residential Childcare Theory Interventions

Floris Books Parenting with Values: 12 Essential Qualities
Book SynopsisWhat do we, as parents, need to give our children to ensure they grow up to be happy, well-balanced and resilient people? Parenting tutor and mother of two Christiane Kutik tells us that, above all, children need their parents to give them strong values to help them find their way in life. Many of us consider values to be an old-fashioned concept but Kutik suggests that by fostering twelve vital values, parents can provide their children with all the tools they need to flourish, to discover the worth of non-material rewards and to have an emotionally enriching life. Parenting with Values encourages parents to reflect on which values they want to pass on to their children. In twelve short, easy-to-digest chapters, Kutik discusses the essential qualities that children need, and explains how each one is learned and passed on from parent to child.The twelve essential values Kutik identifies are:-- Self-esteem-- Compassion-- Honesty-- Respect-- Sensibility-- Humour-- Security-- Capacity to manage conflict-- Independence-- Interest in e world-- Soulfulness-- Connection the natural worldThis engaging and readable book is filled with practical everyday examples of values in action. It will provide inspiration for parents who wish to proactively encourage positive development in their children.Trade Review'This is a brilliant book... The book provides us with the opportunity to reflect and consider how to free ourselves from some of the stresses of parenting by renewing these twelve qualities within ourselves and modelling them for our children.
