I also recommend it to parents of young children as well as primary grade teachers who want to know more about how young writers develop. Although Ray and Glover admit that the skills of writing are complex, they assert that they can and should be supported in even the youngest children--as soon as they ...             I'm Going to be a Big Sister23 reviews Brenda Bercun Nurturing Your Children Press, 2006 this book is NOT graphic I just had to respond and say I'm very disappointed to read that a few reviewers found this book "graphic." There is one page in the book that shows a mommy's belly (really mostly a profile view) with a uterus and a baby inside. There is a very vague line that is supposedly the "birth canal" and the line goes off into ambiguousness since the legs are profile. The text says nothing except that ...             Plant Seed, Pull Weed: Nurturing the Garden of Your Life1 review Geri Larkin HarperOne, 2008 A Book About Pulling Weeds in Your Yard -- and in Your Spiritual Approach to a Better Life Geri Larkin's life has taken her from the heights of American business to the simplicity of Buddhist practice. She began her career as a jet-setting business consultant -- and is ending it as a sort of free-lance teacher and landscape consultant living in a tiny home in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, in this new book she writes that when she volunteers at an emergency food bank -- it's ...             I'm Going to be a Big Brother15 reviews Brenda Bercun Nurturing Your Children Press, 2006 Great preparation for big brothers! I bought this book for my 2 1/2 year old son. It is perhaps a little beyond his age but not much. This book written from the perspective of anticipating the baby's arrival and what it will be like when mommy goes to the hospital, and when the baby comes home. I appreciate how it can help children make sense of changes that are happening in the home in preparation for the baby, and help them ...             A Spiritual Formation Workbook - Revised edition: Small Group Resources for Nurturing Christian Growth13 reviews James Bryan Smith, Richard J. Foster HarperOne, 1999 The Best Small Group Model Around What separates this small group guide from others is that it provides a framework for all future groups that actually contains concrete paths to real character transformation. That framework has some key components: (1) An emphasis on trying spiritual exercises in your everyday life, with plenty of ideas for exercises provided; (2) An emphasis on growing toward a balanced spiritual life, ...             The Attachment Parenting Book : A Commonsense Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Baby49 reviews William Sears, Martha Sears Little, Brown and Company, 2001 Great book I happen to love this book although I think it is so sad that it ever had to be written at all. My husband is luckily from another culture and if it had not been for his support I would have probably have listened to my parents, doctors, and the majority of mothers that I have met and done to whole cry it out, making my infant adhere to a strict, un-flexible schedule, and not holding thing. My ...             One of the Gang: Nurturing the Souls of Children with Food Allergies6 reviews Gina Clowes AuthorHouse, 2008 The cover alone says it all! I love this book! As the parent of a food-allergic[...] and the director of a nonprofit whose mission is to educate schools on food allergy safety [...], I see first-hand how important it is to not lose sight of our kids' emotional well-being. Often, we focus exclusively on the medical side of food allergies, doing all we can to prevent a potentially life-threatening reaction and to prepare ...             Recovery Of Your Self-Esteem: A Guide For Women4 reviews Carolynn Hillman Fireside, 1992 Highly Recommended Carolynn Hillman presents an effective way to eliminate the inner-critic with its degrading and put-down voice and teaches us how to replace this with a supportive inner caretaker so that we can truly be our authentic selves. This is the first book that I have found that gets to the root and digs out the cause of poor self-esteem. The first line in Chapter 3,"Why We Are the Way We Are" blew me ...             Beyond the Rainbow Bridge : Nurturing our children from birth to seven19 reviews Barbara J. Patterson, Jean Riordan Michaelmas Press, 2000 Waldorf goodness... I have been wondering about Waldorf education for some time. I feel that this book is a great intro.

Free Spirit Publishing, 1997 Excellent book for both parents and teachers! This book inspires teachers to keep a sharp lookout for bright young students--including those who may not appear "high-ability" at first glance! Students will be happier and more productive both at school and at home if teachers and parents used approaches to learning described in this book.

This is great for a neighborhood study. JE             Coming Home to Myself: Reflections for Nurturing a Woman's Body and Soul8 reviews Marion Woodman, Jill Mellick Conari Press, 2001 A Wonderful and Soulful Meditation This is a wonderful book on identity. It's a collection of short, easy-to-read chapters for women about "loving their femininity, themselves and each other" and for men "who are coming to grips with the lost feminine in themselves." One of the most heartening chapters for me is the one on creativity. I'm a writer, so this chapter really spoke to me.

As ...             Joining Children on the Spiritual Journey: Nurturing a Life of Faith2 reviews Catherine Stonehouse Baker Academic, 1998 Best book available on children's spiritual formation! This is by far the most thoughtful presentation I have read about children's spiritual nurture (and I've read most of the titles now available on the market). Fowler's clsssic may be the standard for explaining stages of spiritual formation, but Dr. Stonehouse truly fleshes out children's experience of faith and how parents and educators can most effectively feed children spiritually. She writes ...             Nurturing Adoptions: Creating Resilience After Neglect and Trauma8 reviews Deborah D. Gray Perspectives Press (IN), 2007 Excellent Trauma/Loss Resource Deborah D. Gray is the founder of Nurturing Attachments, an organization specializing in treating childhood trauma and loss in ways that are both effective and gentle.
