Book Description
A collection of children's stories by international bestselling author Lorna Byrne. Lorna Byrne says we all see angels when we are young children, but are gradually conditioned to screen them out. Here, for the first time, she has written stories, inspired by real life, of seven children whose lives were transformed and made better by their interaction with their guardian angels. Among these, there is a story of a little girl called Suzy, paralysed from birth and unable to play with other children. Angels play with her and bring her great happiness. In another story a little girl called Emma is mean to her classmates and gets her little brothers into trouble at home. Her guardian angel gradually prompts her towards a more harmonious and happy life. Tommy feels he is an outsider because he is no good at football. Then with his guardian angel's loving help and attention, Tommy scores a brilliant goal! Lorna began telling stories to her daughter Aideen at an age when, like all children, she was beginning to focus far more on the material world and less on spiritual influences. These stories are written to show children the ways in which they can ask for help from their guardian angels and perhaps even to catch a glimpse of them.

The Learning-Disabled Child Wants to Learn
Author: Lorna Bennett
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525542540
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
The classroom is a place where children form fundamental self-expectations, and where they also learn the standards of behavior and education that the world will expect of them. For a child struggling to learn, the classroom is an overwhelming world of practical and emotional challenges. The Learning-Disabled Child Wants to Learn proposes adaptive teaching modalities that transform the classroom environment for these children. Dr. Lorna Bennett’s fifty years of recognized teaching expertise presents the classroom as a place where a child’s learning potential can be freed from such impediments to success as low self-esteem, fear of failure, poor language skills, cognitive and memory impairments, an inability to plan and organize, not to mention exposure to social and economic stressors. In this invaluable teaching resource, Lorna Bennet shares methods for observing and analyzing students’ needs. She combines a teaching career with her school counseling experience to describe how children’s diverse behaviors and responses are their attempts to cope with particular kinds of learning difficulties. She underscores the importance of assessing a learner’s strengths and areas of deficiency in a way that is supportive of each child’s innate desire to do well. Dr. Bennett’s understanding of what children with learning disabilities need in order to be successful learners emphasizes goal attainment, positive reinforcement, the fostering of interests and independence and other teaching strategies, making this book a supportive guide for teachers who are committed to achieving positive outcomes for their learning-challenged students.
