Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides (Paperback)

Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides
Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides (Paperback)
By Shirley Brosius

Review & Description

Women today are busy, stressed, and guilt-ridden, yet they long to develop their spiritual sides. Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides offers inspirational thoughts based on scripture-brief enough to be read during a television commercial, yet insightful enough to open your eyes to the grace of God on days you change diapers and/or lead corporate meetings. Each reading suggests a "Guilt Trip to Avoid" and ends with a way to "Take the Joy Ride" The book includes six months of daily readings so that you may establish a habit of connecting with God. Readings are listed under letters of the acronym G-R-A-C-E, representing God, Relationships, Acceptance, Challenges, and Emotions. The co-authors hope these meaningful readings will help you deal with guilt-both real and imagine. By applying the insights shared in Turning Guilt Trips into Joy Rides, you may develop a calmer, less guilt-ridden lifestyle and become better equipped to function as wives, mothers, and friends. Younger women often develop patters of thinking and experience feelings of guilt that carry over into their mature years, so women of all ages will find this book helpful. Read more

Taking The Power Back: The Secret Behind "Secrets" in Child Development (Child Development Series) (Kindle Edition)

Taking The Power Back: The Secret Behind "Secrets" in Child Development (Child Development Series)
Taking The Power Back: The Secret Behind "Secrets" in Child Development (Child Development Series) (Kindle Edition)
By Laurie Albright

Review & Description

Are you a parent or teacher? Do you work with kids? Have you ever wanted to know why children tell secrets? Have you ever wondered what they are talking about? Have you ever wondered if "secrets" are bad or good? This mini ebook will answer all these questions and more. Directly from a parent/researcher's genuine perspective, this will help illuminate your questions about secrets and perhaps change your own perspective about the practice of secret telling. Essential for parents or anyone who works with children.

Introduction to the book
“Tommy stole the eraser from the blackboard, but keep quiet about it!” This is an example of a typical everyday secret passed between children within middle childhood. As children between the ages of 6-12 begin to expand their mental processes and utilize logical thinking, they also learn the developmental phenomenon of telling secrets. Children placed in this age group lose former characteristics of egocentrism and begin to develop an understanding of the intentions of others. While I have worked with children primarily in the older range of middle childhood, it is relevant to mention significant changes within children of this stage. During the latter half of middle childhood kids develop increasing metacognition and start to share their internal thoughts with others. As the child’s personal and social abilities expand as a result of increasing time spent in school, secrets become a gateway for a “second world of experience.”Are you a parent or teacher?
