This poetry sparks and burns with the hidden language and stories of women" -Minnie Bruce PrattJudith Arcana, a reproductive rights activist formerly involved in Chicago's pre-Roe v. Wade underground abortion service, imbues her poetry, fiction and essays with the same ferocity, humor and passion that informs her activism.

The digital world is a place where even the most informed parents and teachers can feel one pace behind children. Bombarded with scare stories about the risks of everyday Internet interactions for young people, those caring for them are frequently left to navigate online minefields more or less on their own. This book is here to help. Two leading experts on digital childhoods, Dr Sandra Leaton Gray and Professor Andy Phippen, explore the realities of growing up online in the 21st century. They provide an informative and accessible guide to the issues young people face today, based on the latest research and scholarship. They also expose the many ways the child safeguarding industry means well, but often gets things very wrong. The authors explain the latest research on topics such as biometrics, encryption, cyphertext and sexting, and analyse their relevance to the next generation. They raise a number of key questions about the contemporary lives of young people, including their relationship with digital technologies such as games, social media, surveillance and tracking devices. They also challenge conventional thinking on these issues. Rather than relying on technology, they argue we should instead focus on the quality of relationships between children, their peers, their parents and with adults generally. Then we can build a healthy digital future for society as a whole.

By turns informative and irreverent this book takes a new approach to tackling gender inequality in the home and at work, focusing on dads being entitled to a bigger role in parenting. It presents the barriers men face to being active dads - from sexist security guards to Tory MPs and even Homer Simpson - and, crucially, it outlines how to tackle them for the good of men, women and children. In Dads Don't Babysit two dads outline some of the biggest problems facing families that want dad to get his turn at raising the kids, and offer a range of solutions in a manifesto for parents and policy makers to consider and hopefully adopt. The book tackles topics such as the gender pay gap, lack of a strong parental leave system in the UK, the financial penalties of taking time off to look after children and the limiting expectations parents find colleagues, relatives and the media have on mums and dads. The authors draw on their own experience of parenting and that of others. Interviews are backed up by extensive research so that the book presents these important issues in an accessible, personal and at times light-hearted way that the apolitical reader will be able to relate to. There is a lively and growing argument about men's role in the 21st century and this book offers a unique perspective, giving a feminist argument by men offering solutions to benefit everyone.

The impact of finding out your child is disabled can be wide ranging. The author's experience as a psychologist and parent of a disabled child informs this book which focuses on what helps, and hinders, parent-carers' emotional wellbeing. Research shows that mental health, relationships, family life, access to work and leisure activities, as well as finances can all be affected. For many parents the focus of those around them is solely on the child and their own needs become neglected. The author re-focuses attention onto the wellbeing of the parent. This includes acknowledging emotions, connecting with positive others, empowering yourself, regularly engaging in self-care and finding your own sense of meaning and purpose in life. Identifying the myriad of different emotions parents may experience as an understandable reaction to an unexpected situation the book includes quotes from parent carers. Connecting to psychological theories, such as positive re-framing and post-traumatic growth, the book applies these in practical ways to the parent-carer experience. She acknowledges that the journey is neither linear nor simple and transitions such as secondary school, puberty and adulthood require further periods of adjustment. Parents rarely get the time or support to stop and reflect on how they are feeling as they are caught up in the day to day busyness of caring. The difficulty is exacerbated by limited resources and battling for services. Building on the author's Doctoral research and having supported parent carers in different roles over the last 13 years this book provides a compass to ensure parents know they are not alone.

Approaching its topic with humor, style, and a critical eye, this unique guidebook enables parents to provide a healthy and diverse diet for their children. Instead of providing yet another guide to kids' nutrition, a medical discussion, a treatise on the perils of obesity, or a parenting primer on good table manners, this study demonstrates that children need to be taught how to eat well just as they are taught to walk.

The Miracle of Belief Occurs Before The Miracle of Transformation"e;I wrote this book with all the mothers and fathers who are sometimes at a lost as to how to best guide their children through the difficult experiences of childhood and young adulthood in mind. Parenting is one of those assignments that is worth doing poorly at first, until you get better at the awesome privilege it is to nurture the souls, Jesus said, "e;Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for such is the kingdom of heaven."e; Matthew 19:14 (KJV). Parenting is the one job we do not want to get wrong, yet the reality is that we usually are not aware of our mistakes with our children until after we have made them. God knows I am probably the last person who should be offering anyone advice on parenting , because of all the mistakes I made as a father. I nevertheless persist in this endeavour because of what the former Prime Minister of Great Britain said about the benefits of mistakes -- "e;No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes."e; Only what we put into raising our children can we expect to see them manifest. It is my hope that this small book, which features just a few of the lessons I have learned from the mistakes I have made and continue to make as a father, will help other parents become better at the job of nurturing the next generation of leaders and achievers

Faced with impossible childcare fees, a mother is forced to leave the job she loves to become a stay-at-home mom to a three-year-old son and one-year-old babies. Feeling much like a missionary, leaving all she knows behind to embark on a journey to a foreign land, she documents periodic frustrations in an attempt to find humor in the situations she finds herself in. Referring to her children as natives or savages and her husband as the adult local, she recounts her travels in this unfamiliar and baffling territory.
