        Empowering Parents. The Dialogical Approach in Seminars and Counselling. A guide for practice

        Ein Leitfaden für die Praxis

        by Johannes Schopp

        The "Dialogical Concept", initially conceived for parent education, was published for the first time in 2005. The power that has developed from it has a noticeable effect on the neighbouring fields of society. The author's central idea is that the system in which relationships and education, health and the development of potential are struggled for, needs a culture of dialogue instead of one of judgement and instruction. A culture that enables adults to meet each other and adults and children to meet each other with equal dignity, to appreciate and respect each other unconditionally. A culture that understands education as personality development.Thanks to his wealth of experience, Schopp illustrates how courage, well-being, curiosity, allowed failure, outgrowth and confidence thrive in a dialogical atmosphere. In this way, all participants could (re)find the necessary access to themselves and develop new confidence in their own abilities, in other people and in the world. Pedagogues, teachers, educators, doctors, mothers, fathers, consultants, lawyers, coaches and trainers, all those who work with people will find in this guide the encouragement and feasibility of a dialogical culture of living and learning.

        A Potent Love

        The Power of Undivided Attention, One Moment at a Time

        by Mei C. Yao and Mama Shiangrue

        Parental love could gift a newborn with a lifetime of peace and harmony, and just as potently it could impose on it a lifetime of confusion and misery. All parents love their children and they always do so to the best of their ability. But why are so many people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation, and sometimes just collapsed at the height of their career and business success? And why are a few lucky others seemingly so able to keep calm and charge on even in the midst of severe crises? The majority of us, men and women, spend much of our adulthood trying to sort through vague feelings of unworthiness, injustice, and emotional turbulence. We cannot seem to come to terms with where this “pain body” is originated and, thus, unknowingly propagate similar tragedies -- outward and downward -- to almost everyone who comes into our sphere of influence. As concluded in The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self, Dr. Alice Miller said, “I have come to see that this [universal human] tragedy cannot be undone in a single generation.” Planet Earth is increasingly vibrating higher and higher in the frequency of pure love. The higher the Earth vibration rises, the more rapidly those who are bogged-down by emotional imbalance and mental stress -- because of having been deprived of the experience of “truth love” as elaborated in Thich Nhat Hanh’s 1997 book titled, True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart -- will have a tough time thriving on the new planet of love: The New Earth. In this book, Mei Yao will share with us “the key” she uncovered for unleashing this most potent human energy -- parental love -- in the most beneficial and natural way, as demonstrated by her mother-in-law, Mama Shiangrue, an extraordinarily wise woman despite (or in spite of) her having never been formally educated. She was simply a woman who knew how to love, and in a very Thich Nhat Hanh way.

        Nutrition for Children

        A No-nonsense Guide for Parents

        by Wyndham. Boobier

        How nice it would be to find a book about children's nutrition that was written for parents by a parent. Such a book would be straightforward, easy to understand, and would not be full of obscure facts and statistics. Written by a father and nutritionist with over five years experience giving lectures on nutrition and health promotion to parents and children of all ages, this is such a book. There is no claim for it to be the most comprehensive 'text' on nutrition, but it is written for parents and carers of children who are truly concerned about their health.   Contents include: Diet and Health - the Basic Building Blocks Vitamins Requirements of Pre-School Children Minerals Healthy Eating for School-Aged Children Physical Activity Healthy Eating for Adolescents Reading Food Labels Healthy Eating - The Balanced Diet Diabetes - Some Basics.
