AUTHORS’ DISCLAIMER: We are not in any way experts on parenting children with disabilities. Our goal is simply to share strategies that have worked for each of us in the event it may help those in a similar situation.

Sit Down and Shut Up
Author: Cinque Henderson
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250101891
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
On his very first day of school as a substitute teacher, Cinque Henderson was cursed at and openly threatened by one of his students. Not wanting trouble or any broken bones, Henderson called the hall monitor, who escorted the student to the office. But five minutes later the office sent him back with a note that read, “Ok to return to class.” That was it: no suspension, no detention, no phone call home, nothing. Sit Down and Shut Up: How Discipline Can Set Students Free is a passionate and personal analysis of Henderson's year as substitute teacher in some of America’s toughest schools. Students disrespected, yelled at, and threatened teachers, abetted by a school system and political culture that turned a willfully blind eye to the economic and social decline that created the problem. Henderson concludes that the failures of our worst schools are the result of a population in crisis: classrooms are microcosms of all our nation’s most vexing issues of race and class. The legacy and stain of race—the price of generational trauma, the cost of fatherlessness, the failures of capitalism, the false promise of meritocracy—played itself out in every single interaction Henderson had with an aggressive student, an unengaged parent, or a failed administrator. In response to the chaos he found in the classroom, Henderson proposes a recommitment to the notion that discipline—wisely and properly understood, patiently and justly administered—is the only proper route to freedom and opportunity for generations of poor youth. With applications far beyond the classroom, Henderson’s experiences offer novel insights into the pressing racial, social, and economic issues that have shaped America’s cultural landscape. Sure to ignite discussion and controversy, Sit Down and Shut Up provides a frank evaluation of the broken classrooms of America and offers a bold strategy for fixing them.

The Parent Survival Guide
Author: Theresa Kellam
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135858071
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
When parents turn to the parenting/self-help section of their local bookstore, they are looking for both practical guidance and a childrearing philosophy that resonates with them - an approach they can relate to and be comfortable implementing in their own household. In The Parent Survival Guide: From Chaos to Harmony in Ten Weeks or Less, Theresa Kellam presents a way to strengthen the relationship with the child that simultaneously promotes the parent's own emotional healing and wellness. Grounded in a research-supported therapeutic technique that uses structured play time as the catalyst for interpersonal connection and growth, Kellam's model is subtle in its simplicity. Through a series of guided exercises, Kellam gives parents the skills they need to begin to set aside special playtimes with their children, during which the most important part of the process is simply "being there" in a way that promotes healing, growth, and communication. The beauty of this approach is that in only 30 minutes, once a week, the results can be seen in only a few weeks. Features of the book include: "Parent Survival Tip" at the start of each chapter Original cartoon illustrations bring text to life Short but insightful workseet questions bring focus to the program The Parent Survival Guide is structured over a series of 10 chapters, which can be read in conjunction with the 10-sessions of the CPRT workshops for those parents enrolled in a formal filial training program. But the material in the book is designed to be read and implemented by anyone. The author is not only a licensed psychologist and filial therapist, but she has also gone through the program with her own son and continues to rely on its principles within her family.

Book Description
This is a clarion call to all nations and to every one that has an ear to hear what God is saying in this season. There has been great blood-shed in our nations; innocent people have lost their lives due to what the nation has gravitated toward-lawlessness! The same sin that led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is the same sin our nation is lusting after! We have adopted sin as a law and lost many souls in the midst of all this. My question is if we are a replica of Sodom and Gomorrah, Why should we be spared? Why should God spare our lives? Just before Sodom and Gomorrah was consumed, God and Abraham had a conversation and God said if He could find ten righteous in the land, He would save the nation, but ten righteous could not be found, and this led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Do not think that God is unjust for sparing us? No! The reason why we are not yet consumed as a nation is because God has found a few righteous-the remnant, that will not bow their knees to sin or its lawless ways. God would never consume the righteous with the wicked! The cry of the guiltless and the innocent, the cry of the abused children, the fatherless, the widows, and all those who have been directly affected by the detrimental world we are in, has been heard by God. The blood of the innocent has come up to God and He has risen to redeem a dying world! There are people who have lost their lives in the midst of the evil we have brought upon ourselves as a nation, and there are still so many souls wounded from our lawless state. The world is immorally corrupt, and this has come up to God as a very displeasing and nauseating attitude. God is displeased! God is bleeding! It is because ofthis dilapidated act caused by the lawless in our nations that has brought so much destruction upon the land that we live in. Are we going to sit lackadaisically and watch many more souls lose their lives? Let us arise and re-build our nation! And if it means we have to incorporate the Ten Commandments into our constitution to bring back serenity and tranquility, let us do it! Our lost glory must be restored! He who has an ear let him hear what the Lord is saying in this season.
