Book Description
A provocative look at the new, digital landscape of childhood and how to navigate it. In The New Childhood, Jordan Shapiro provides a hopeful counterpoint to the fearful hand-wringing that has come to define our narrative around children and technology. Drawing on groundbreaking research in economics, psychology, philosophy, and education, The New Childhood shows how technology is guiding humanity toward a bright future in which our children will be able to create new, better models of global citizenship, connection, and community. Shapiro offers concrete, practical advice on how to parent and educate children effectively in a connected world, and provides tools and techniques for using technology to engage with kids and help them learn and grow. He compares this moment in time to other great technological revolutions in humanity's past and presents entertaining micro-histories of cultural fixtures: the sandbox, finger painting, the family dinner, and more. But most importantly, The New Childhood paints a timely, inspiring and positive picture of today's children, recognizing that they are poised to create a progressive, diverse, meaningful, and hyper-connected world that today's adults can only barely imagine.

Book Description
Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

Book Description
Paris Murphy, half-Irish, half-Lebanese, is extremely good at her job, though far less successful in her private life, which is a mess: she's got an on/off marriage to an ER doctor, a looming affair with a colleague in the forensic department and a mother who always calls at the worst possible moment. Tracking down killers is a far more attractive proposition than tidying up her own affairs and her latest investigation is gripping. The murder of a prostitute in St Paul's is the latest in a series of killings, and the police are sure they know who they are after - a successful plastic surgeon, scion of a powerful local family - and it is up to Paris and her partner, Gabe, to prove their case. But hard evidence is hard to come by, until Paris herself attracts the killer's attention ...

Book Description
This book is not just about what to eat and what not to eat. It's about real mind shifts (pivots) to create new lasting results. We wanted to design a program that took the guesswork out, something you can do for the rest of your life with room to enjoy the things you love. After years of practice, we believe we've found an answer. A series of small changes in your lifestyle will build the foundation for the rest of your life and real success. Almost six years ago, we were two women in the same field, at the same pivot in the road, at the same stage of motherhood. Somehow we found each other. At the time we didn't know our friendship would grow into more, but eventually it became a partnership. We had different personalities and different strengths, but we had the same driving desire to help people change their lives. That is what made us a perfect team and led us to create Clean Cut Fitness & Nutrition.Together we built our friendship through running programs and helping moms. We took our clients from some of their first 5K races all the way to half marathons.In fact, we continue to work so well together today due to the success we've had in guiding others to identify and reach their goals and in inspiring them to create new ones.When a group of our clients approached us and asked if we could hold a weight loss challenge, yup, another new path opened for us. Excited by this idea, we sat down and put our methods, past fitness experiences, new education, and life experiences together to design a simple but effective weight loss challenge. We decided six weeks was the ideal time to break apart some old habits and create new ones. We also knew six weeks wasn't the final answer, and a lifetime of work was needed, but we knew it was a great foundation. Clean Cut was born. This simple, one-time challenge designed for this group, worked, and as you can imagine, people started asking, "What did you do? You look great!" Word got out, and interest grew, so we went with it and ran another challenge. We tweaked things along the way, building on our foundation. When things worked, we made them better. Things that had become roadblocks, we changed.We are always evolving and learning, which is the greatest part of Clean Cut. After our first small challenge gained momentum, we decided to create something for our clients and so many others. Over the years, Clean Cut has gone from a few challenges a year, to a national program that holds multiple core challenges along with holiday handhold programs, summer slam events and other pop-up programs that help people learn and succeed in the world of weight loss and management.
