Title: Long Days, Short Years: A Cultural History of Modern Parenting

Author: Andrew Bomback

Narrator: George Newbern

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 37 minutes

Release date: August 9, 2022

Genres: Relationships & Intimacy

Publisher's Summary:

How parenting became a verb, from Dr. Spock and June Cleaver to baby whispering and free-range kids. When did “parenting” become a verb? Why is it so hard to parent, and so rife with the possibility of failure? Sitcom families of the past—the Cleavers, the Bradys, the Conners—didn’t seem to lose any sleep about their parenting methods. Today, parents are likely to be up late, doomscrolling on parenting websites. In Long Days, Short Years, Andrew Bomback—physician, writer, and father of three young children—looks at why it can be so much fun to be a parent but, at the same time, so frustrating and difficult to parent. It’s not a “how to” book (although Bomback has read plenty of these) but a “how come” book, investigating the emergence of an immersive, all-in approach to raising children that has made parenting a competitive (and often not very enjoyable) sport. Drawing on parenting books, mommy blogs, and historical accounts of parental duties as well as novels, films, podcasts, television shows, and his own experiences as a parent, Bomback charts the cultural history of parenting as a skill to be mastered, from the laid-back Dr. Spock’s 1950s childcare bible—in some years outsold only by the actual Bible—to the more rigid training schedules of Babywise. Along the way, he considers the high costs of commercialized parenting (from the babymoon on), the pressure on mothers to have it all (and do it all), scripted parenting as laid out in How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, parenting during a pandemic, and much more.

Publisher's Summary:

While there are a few short articles and guides addressing the challenges and complexities of leading white affinity groups, there has never been a detailed handbook exclusively for white racial affinity group facilitators. There are many challenges in facilitating these groups, including the need to have a deep theoretical understanding of racism, a high degree of racial self-awareness, sensitivity to and the ability to work with the range of skills and degrees of awareness participants bring, and strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills. This book is the first in-depth guide for educators, mediators, workplace consultants and trainers, workplace diversity groups, community organizers, conference organizers, members of faith communities, and members of racial and social justice groups. Dr. Robin DiAngelo and Amy Burtaine, who collectively bring over twenty years of experience leading anti-racist education and racial affinity groups, present the following: · a theoretical framework for understanding racism; · a case for the value of racial affinity groups as a tool for challenging racism; · guidelines for setting up affinity groups in a variety of contexts; · the skills and perspectives needed for effective facilitation; · scenarios to illustrate common challenges; · a glossary of definitions; · exercises, discussion prompts, and assessment tools. · an extensive list of common patterns and group dynamics and how to address them This accessible guide is an important reference for anyone committed to anti-racism work.

Genres: Relationships & Intimacy

Publisher's Summary:

Imagine a world where children don't feel held back by their bodies. Where we judge each other by who we are being and what we are doing rather than what we look like. Where women don't feel like they have to get smaller, and men don't believe they have to get bigger, to feel loved and valued. Body image, and the associated issues of weight, food and physical activity, are hot topics in our families. Research shows that 70 per cent of adolescents experience distress in relation to their body image, and up to 90 per cent of adult women would like to change something about their bodies. How did we get to this place of constant criticism about our own bodies, and how can we get out of it? To coincide with the release of her groundbreaking new documentary Embrace Kids, leading body image activist and powerhouse change-maker Taryn Brumfitt has collaborated with leading body image expert Dr Zali Yager on one of the most important health issues of our times - helping our children and teens feel comfortable about, and confident in, their bodies. With chapters on how to role-model body confidence, appreciate your own body and create a positive home environment, as well as combatting the body image challenges that emerge through peers and social media, Embrace Kids is full of evidence-based suggestions and supportive, practical advice. This book will teach you everything you need to know to build your kids' body image, to wholeheartedly embrace their uniqueness, and to steer them on a body positivity path that has the power to liberate them for life.

From No.1 bestselling author Toni Maguire comes a new true story of abuse and survival. 'Whatever you do, don't go back to him, not this time. If not for your sake, then for your children's.' Ava Thomas knew leaving was the right decision. Trapped and manipulated in her relationship, and after yet another violent beating whilst she was pregnant, Ava was helped to a women's refuge with her children. Listening to the stories of other women there, Ava began thinking back to where it all started to go wrong. Brought up by a mother who never loved her, Ava sought that missing care and warmth elsewhere. Running away to her father's home as a teenager, she thought she might finally be safe. But after being abused by her own brother, she was thrown out onto the streets. Ava searched for the love she had been desperately missing her whole life, and ended up in a relationship controlled by domestic violence. Lifted by the strength of the other women around her, Ava found a new home, a fresh start and never looked back - with her loving children by her side. *In aid of the NSPCC: for each paperback book sold, Bonnier Books UK shall donate 2.5% of its net receipts to the NSPCC (registered charity numbers 216401 and SC037717).*

Genres: Relationships & Intimacy

Publisher's Summary:

Discover surprisingly simple ways to get along better with anyone, anytime, anyplace. Relationships fill our lives from the instant we're born until the moment we die. These relationships can elevate us or take us down, bring us joy or sorrow, define or defeat us. While the quality of a relationship often seems random, in almost every case it is possible to predict—from the very beginning—which relationships will feel comfortable and which ones just won't. In The Five Elements of Relationships, Dr. Vicki Matthews uses the ancient Five Elements model from Chinese medicine to describe five basic personality types and the ways they automatically relate to one another. Knowing our primary elemental personality type explains our priorities and preferences in life as well as the reasons we click with certain people but have difficulties with others. Deceptively simple and easy to comprehend, The Five Elements of Relationships offers the opportunity to better understand everyone in our lives, enhance every connection we have, improve family dynamics, and seek out the people who will best support us in every conceivable situation. It also includes numerous techniques to help build harmonious relationships with everyone.

Publisher's Summary:

Would you like to improve the emotional intelligence of your kids? Signals offers a simple, relational approach to help you become aware of your emotions, their impact on others, and how to implement this technique in your home, school, or ministry. While we can’t see the brain, it sends signals to us and those around us. Just as the colors of a traffic light send drivers a signal to go, slow down, or stop, our brains signal to our emotions and affect our behavior toward others. In Signals, Cherilyn Orr introduces a common language and imagery to help everyone manage their emotions. Rooted in neuroscience and the Bible, this approach has been used around the world because its spans across all cultural contexts. Learn how to read these signals, become more aware of your emotions as well as your child’s, and understand how to respond based on the signal sent. For parents and educators, this approach is an easy-to-understand way to evaluate what’s going on with your child, mentally and emotionally, at any given moment to determine an appropriate response. Signals is also useful for kids with special needs, including those with autism. Applying the technique can transform the relationships you have with your kids and set them on a lifelong trajectory of ever-increasing emotional intelligence.

Title: Feeling Myself: How I shed my shame to find sexual freedom and you can too

Release date: July 7, 2022

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1

Genres: Relationships & Intimacy

Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. Trauma, porn, masturbation, sexuality, sex after motherhood, sex when you feel sh*t about your body, sex after separation... these are all topics around which we skirt delicately, as if they're bombs which will explode if we prod them too curiously. In this way, sex is intimately connected with shame. Like most of us, shame has followed me around for most of my life. I felt shame for the colour of my skin, shame for being female, and shame for wanting more, but I also felt shame around the subject of masturbation. Even as an adult, I carried an intense feeling that masturbation was somehow dirty. I look back on this now and realise how warped our approach to sex is and how the shame that surrounds these conversations holds women back. In this honest and revealing memoir, Natalie Lee digs deep into her own relationship with sex to expose the shame that many of us feel. Taking us through her journey, from traumatic beginnings to marriage, motherhood and eventually experiencing sexual freedom after divorce in her thirties, Feeling Myself is a story of learning to be your true self in a society that doesn't prioritise your pleasure. It is a book for every woman to feel empowered by and to learn the tools to experience their own emancipation too. © Natalie Lee 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Title: [French] - La garçonne

Author: Victor Margueritte

Narrator: Pauline Latournerie

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 9 minutes

Release date: July 1, 2022

Genres: Relationships & Intimacy

Publisher's Summary:

Ce 'roman de moeurs' à thèse présente une jeune femme indépendante menant une vie sexuelle très libre. Cet ouvrage a fait scandale (il a valu à son auteur de se voir retirer la Légion d'Honneur), mais a été un énorme succès de librairie. Extrait du livre: '– Il faut que tu saches cependant, dit Mme Lerbier décidée à avoir le dernier mot, qu'avec tes façons de parler et d'agir au gré de tes seules inspirations, tu passes pour une toquée. Au fond, tu es un garçon manqué ! Regarde tes amies, Ginette ou Michelle. Voilà de vraies jeunes filles. Michelle surtout ! Monique reposa son verre. Elle avait failli s'étrangler. Et profitant de ce que la femme de chambre sortait: – Leur mari n'en aura pas l'étrenne ! Mme Lerbier gloussa, scandalisée. Elle eut voulu que Monique, tout en n'étant pas absolument une oie blanche, gardât jusqu'au mariage cette ignorance décente que discrètement la mère, à la veille du grand soir, éclaire... Mais, sous prétexte d'éducation scientifique, cette franchise qui ne reculait devant rien, même pas, au besoin, devant l'appellation, par leur nom, des organes les plus secrets !... Non !... Quoi qu'en pensât tante Sylvestre, certains chapitres de l'histoire naturelle devaient pour les jeunes filles se borner au règne végétal. Aux précisions anatomiques Mme Lerbier préférait, « en dépit de son pseudo-danger », l'ombre dormante, la pudeur, – c'est cela ! – « la pudeur du mystère ! » La pudeur, quand elle avait lâché ce grand mot, elle avait tout dit. – Tu me fais bien souffrir, murmura-t-elle. – Il faut en prendre ton parti, maman. Depuis la guerre nous sommes toutes devenues, plus ou moins, des garçonnes !'
