how the world is making our children mad and what to do about it louis weinstock

I know of no one better qualified to understand what young people are facing today - Philippa Perry There are epidemic rates of ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide in young people. The conventional medical model wants to put a plaster on the problems with medication and CBT, but we, as parents, need to dig deeper. We need to face the fact that it is not our child''s fault, but the world we are bringing them up in and that we play a key role in how they see this world. Bringing together years of work helping children and the child inside us all, acclaimed psychotherapist, Louis Weinstock, will show us how. Split into two parts, and blending mindfulness, meditation and visualisation, we are taken on a journey that starts with exploring our own fears and weaknesses, and ends joyfully in practical ways we can help build confidence, courage and authentic hope about the future in our children. The power lies within each of us to create with, and for, our children a more beautiful world right now - a world where they realise their almost infinite potential.

As children grow, there may be times when their behaviour seems out of place or troubling. When there is a recurrent pattern of one or more of these types of behaviour, something may be wrong. As a parent, if you have noticed something "off" about the way your child has been acting, perhaps it''s time to take a closer look at what might actually be going on¯before it gets worse. WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOUR TROUBLED CHILD is designed to provide you with the information you need to get to the bottom of the mystery. If a behavioural disorder is caught early enough and treated correctly, it can be greatly lessened or even eliminated. Unfortunately, many behavioural problems in children go undiagnosed for so long that they progress beyond the possibility of improvement.This book is divided into two parts. Part One looks at six of the most common behavioural disorders: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Anxiety Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder. Each chapter focuses on one disorder and includes a list of questions intended to determine if your child exhibits enough of the tendencies associated with this disorder to warrant a closer look.

The Évian conference in 1938 highlighted nations'' refusal to aid Jewish refugees, setting the stage for the Holocaust and today’s refugee crises.In July 1938, the United States, Great Britain, and thirty other countries participated in a vital conference at Évian-les-Bains, France, to discuss the persecution and possible emigration of the European Jews, specifically those caught under the anvil of Nazi atrocities. However, most of those nations rejected the pleas then being made by the Jewish communities, thus condemning them to the Holocaust.There is no doubt that the Évian conference was a critical turning point in world history. The disastrous outcome of the conference set the stage for the murder of six million people. Today we live in a world defined by turmoil with a disturbing rise of authoritarian governments and ultra right-wing nationalism. The plight of refugees is once more powerfully affecting public attitudes towards those most in need. Now, on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the end of the Second World War, it’s time to reflect on the past to ensure we never again make the same mistakes.Tragedy at Évian also shines a spotlight on some of the astonishing and courageous stories of heroic efforts ...

A prominent Hindi poet’s compelling testament to the struggles and resilience of India’s marginalized communities. A voice of the marginalized and a staunch critic of the establishment, Alok Dhanwa brilliantly captures the ethos of a turbulent era in India through his poetry.

In this smart, incisive, and eye-opening book, Keith Law applies Kahneman’s ideas about decision making to the game itself.Baseball is a sport of decisions.

How we live is shaped by how we eat. You can see this in the vastly different approaches to growing, preparing and eating food around the world, such as the hunter-gatherer Hadza in Tanzania whose sustainable lifestyle is under threat in a crowded planet, or Western societies whose food is farmed or bred in vast intensive enterprises. And most of us now rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal, which is now contending with unprecedented challenges.

How the World Flows acts like a microscope that pulls the reader into the barely noticeable, Lilliputian world of fluids at small scales--the microfluidic world-and answers the question "What is microfluidics?" in non-technical language.Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers. This book also shows that many processes essential to life on Earth - such as the formation of raindrops, the rise of sap in plants, and the percolation of water through soil - are all microfluidic marvels. It examines how our cells breathe, feed, and fight diseases through small capillaries. Many ancient human inventions, ranging from soaps and sauces to the candle wick, the gauze, and the ink brush, rely on microfluidics, but the size of the fluid interactions in these systems, natural and human-made, has prevented most people from appreciating ...

Most humans are significantly richer than their ancestors. Humanity gained nearly all of its wealth in the last two centuries. How did this come to pass? How did the world become rich? Mark Koyama and Jared Rubin dive into the many theories of why modern economic growth happened when and where it did. They discuss recently advanced theories rooted in geography, politics, culture, demography, and colonialism. Pieces of each of these theories help explain key events on the path to modern riches. Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in 18th-century Britain? Why did some European countries, the US, and Japan catch up in the 19th century? Why did it take until the late 20th and 21st centuries for other countries? Why have some still not caught up? Koyama and Rubin show that the past can provide a guide for how countries can escape poverty. There are certain prerequisites that all successful economies seem to have. But there is also no panacea. A society’s past and its institutions and culture play a key role in shaping how it may – or may not – develop. Also available as an audiobook.

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a ‘flattening’ of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal – and competitor – of the other.

Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer. In his new chapters: ''If It''s Not Happening, It''s Because You''re Not Doing It'' and ''What Happens When We All Have Dog''s Hearing?'' the author explores both the benefits and disadvantages of the very latest ...

What can Alice in Wonderland teach us about childhood? Could reading Conversations with Friends guide us through first love? Does Esther Greenwood’s glittering success and subsequent collapse in The Bell Jar help us understand ambition? And, finally, what can we learn about death from Virginia Woolf?Literature matters. Not only does it provide escapism and entertainment, but it also holds a mirror up to our lives to show us aspects of ourselves we may not have seen or understood. From jealousy to grief, fierce love to deep hatred, our inner lives become both stranger and more familiar when we explore them through fiction. Josh Cohen, a psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory, delves deep into the inner lives of the most memorable and vivid characters in literature. His analysis of figures such as Jay Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway offers insights into the greatest questions about the human experience, ones that we can all learn from. He walks us through the different stages of existence, from childhood to old age, showing that literature is much more than a refuge from the banality and rigour of everyday life – through the experiences of its characters, it can show us ways to be ...
