    Book SynopsisBaby-led or traditional puree weaning? Weaning your baby can be a daunting prospect, and the advice you'll receive is often confusing and contradictory. Should you follow the traditional method of introducing pureed food, or should you bypass purees altogether and try baby-led weaning with sticks of carrot? What is best for your baby? With over 18 years as a nutritionist, Dr Rana Conway is here to guide you through this sticky (and messy) subject. With established weaning methods clearly explained, Weaning Made Easy brings you a practical, realistic and down-to-earth approach to weaning, to give you methods that really work. Weaning Made Easy uses the best of each method, to bring you the most practical and useful weaning advice available. With mealplans and recipes for each stage, she takes you through your baby's weaning development - from what foods to try (and avoid) in the first six months to moving your baby onto family meals and solid food. Dr Rana answers all your questions: When should I start to wean my baby? Is there a risk of overfeeding my baby if I use traditional weaning? Is my baby likely to miss out on important nutrients if I use baby-led weaning? What do I do if my child keeps throwing up his food? My child keeps choking - should I stop trying baby-led weaning? Weaning Made Easy supports you throughout the whole weaning process, and includes honest, reassuring accounts of other mums' weaning experiences. It will give you the confidence to get through the journey from purees and milk to solid food. This is your complete handbook to Weaning. Made easy.Trade Review"Many books favour one option or the other, so here is the opportunity for both schools of thought to be considered in one unbiased place." - Parents in Touch

    PCCS Books Young People Hearing Voices: What You Need to

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisYoung People Hearing Voices is a unique, innovative book providing support and practical solutions for the experience of hearing voices. It is in two parts, one part for voice-hearing children, the other part for parents and adult carers. Escher and Romme have over twenty-five years experience of working with voice-hearers, pioneering the theory and practice of accepting and working with the meaning in voices. The children's section: This book has mainly been written for children who hear voices. The information in this book is largely derived from a three-year study amongst 80 children and adolescents who were interviewed about their experiences; children who ranged in age from 8 to 19 years at first contact. Little is known about voice hearing in children. Most people still have this notion that it is a disease for life. In this book, readers will find extensive information about how to look differently at voice hearing; learning to deal with it and discovering what might help to cope with the voices.The parents'/adults' section: It became increasingly clear to us how little information parents of children hearing voices were getting and that if parents found information, it was almost always based on the assumption that voice hearing was a serious disease. We noticed that the children of those parents who dared to search and go their own way were doing better. This book is for these parents.Trade ReviewThrough its combination of research, clinical insights, and first-person accounts, Children Hearing Voices provides its readers with extensive guidance and information not only for understanding voice hearing, but in reframing it as a meaningful experience that can be lived with rather than an unfortunate medical abnormality to be endured. The book equips parents and professionals with the necessary skills, confidence, and knowledge to explore and understand a child's voice hearing experiences and, most importantly, outlines the necessary resources for children to cope with their voices, any attendant emotional difficulties, and ultimately lead fulfilled, productive, and happy lives. Eleanor Longden, Bradford Primary Care Trust (UK) survivor-activist and trainer. The information and experiences presented in this book have broadened my understanding of voice hearing and how to support young people (and all people) who hear voices, in my counseling practice. The book is rich in information and examples of experiences that break down fixed medicalized views and stereotypes, nomalizing the experience and helping frame voice hearing in a broader context - they effectively re-frame voice hearing as 'a human characteristic and an indication of problems that need to be solved, instead of a psycho-pathological problem'. For anybody who supports children who hear voices, this is the book to read.

You will need them on at least one occasion! • Let yourself ask for help. It could be the best thing you ever do. Made with paper & love, from you to me.

    Book SynopsisThis up to date text is suitable for students on all early years courses that include a module on global childhoods. Taking an ecological approach, it examines how culture and society shape childhoods through considering the lived experiences of children internationally. It begins by questioning the meaning of childhood and explores the historical, cultural and social views of childhood and children, including the roles of race, class and gender. It considers families and parenting from a global perspective and progresses to examine the relationship between the state and children by evaluating international approaches to education, health and welfare and the ways inequalities between the minority and majority world impact on children. The role of research on and with children in informing these debates is fully explored. Most importantly the reader is challenged to reflect on how global perspectives can be used to support an understanding of inclusion and diversity in their practice.Table of ContentsChapter One – Introduction Chapter Two – What is Childhood? Chapter Three – Families and Parenting Chapter Four – International Views on Education Chapter Five – Children’s Rights and Children’s Needs Chapter Six – Children’s Health and Welfare a Global View Chapter Seven – Global Inequalities and Children Chapter Eight - Global Research and Children
