Description

Self-esteem profoundly shapes our view of the world, the joy we experience from life and ultimately, how content we feel with what we've achieved with our lives.If you're looking for a place to start to help your child build positive self-esteem and self-worth, it pays to spend time looking at yourself. Children learn from their parents and it has been shown that parents who act in a positive, optimistic manner are more likely to have children who grow up to be like them. Healthy self-esteem is a child's armor against the challenges of the world. Children who feel good about themselves seem to have an easier time handling conflicts and resisting negative pressures. They tend to smile more readily and enjoy life. These kids are realistic and generally optimistic. It's also been shown that children who feel important are well-rounded, respectful, and tend to reach their potential academically, excel in extracurricular activities and hobbies, and develop healthy relationships with their peers. Optimism is the ‘torch’ that extinguishes the black void of pessimism, and children, just like plants, need ‘light’ to develop healthily in order to reach their full potential.Marcus Dane's 'Self-Esteem: How To Help A Child Become Confident, Content and Happy' is packed full of clear and straightforward advice, tips and examples of how to help improve a child’s self-esteem. It covers the building blocks of self-esteem, being a positive role model, understanding child self-esteem through self-reflection, discipline and self-esteem, communication and self-esteem and how to connect in a healthy way with a child. In addition, the 5 most common reasons for low self-esteem in children are discussed in detail, and the reader is provided with sensible and practical advice to deal with these issues.Given 'we are what we eat' and 'we become what we think', it is every parent’s duty to not only put food in their children’s bellies, but equally feed and lovingly nurture their self-esteem so that they become confident, content and happy children and adults.

Description

Israel's hippest bestselling young writer today, Etgar Keret is part court jester, part literary crown prince, part national conscience. The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God gathers his daring and provocative short stories for the first time in English.Brief, intense, painfully funny, and shockingly honest, Keret's stories are snapshots that illuminate with intelligence and wit the hidden truths of life. As with the best comic authors, hilarity and anguish are the twin pillars of his work. Keret covers a remarkable emotional and narrative terrain-from a father's first lesson to his boy to a standoff between soldiers caught in the Middle East conflict to a slice of life where nothing much happens. Bus Driver includes stories from Keret's bestselling collections in Israel, Pipelines and Missing Kissinger, as well as Keret's major new novella, "Kneller's Happy Campers," a bitingly satirical yet wistful road trip set in the afterlife for suicides.

Etgar Keret's The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God & Other Stories stings and thrills with fierce fables of modern life. Set in landscapes ranging from "this armpit town outside Austin, Texas" to "this village in Uzbekistan that was built right smack at the mouth of Hell," these stories lay their plots' central tensions out plainly: "Dad wouldn't buy me a Bart Simpson doll," one begins. Then they take off like little roller coasters, careening through the pathos of Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son, the clowning of David Sedaris's Barrel Fever, the in-your-face violence of Quentin Tarantino, and the bewildered alienation of Franz Kafka. But readers need not know any of Keret's sources to enjoy his stories fully. The Israeli writer's aphorisms leap off the page and lodge themselves in the mind: "There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed." Keret's vernacular prose is fun to read, and his vision of the world is weirdly comforting. Happiness never really flourishes, but small hopes and graces abound. --Michael Joseph Gross

You Can Be Single and Happy Whether you are actively looking for a mate or have decided that marriage isn't what you want right now, psychotherapists Xavier Amador and Judith Kiersky can help you deal with the problems that come from being single in a couples' world. Drawing on years of clinical experience and research with both single and married clients, Amador and Kiersky have identified the five common stumbling blocks that can get in the way of enjoying singlehood. Taking a careful look at the obstacles that cause single people the most pain, the authors have developed a four-step plan to help you achieve balance and happiness -- whether or not you stay single. And the first and most challenging step is to stop buying into old-fashioned ideas about singlehood and marriage. Combining clear advice and vivid case examples, Being Single in a Couples' World gives all of us the tools we need to find our way to a healthier self and more meaningful relationships.

Sometimes when you look around, it seems as if the entire world is coupled up. Family, friends, that cute twosome holding hands walking down the street, everyone is either married or in a serious, committed relationship. If you're not one of those people, the world can seem a lonely place. But why is that? Why can't a person be both single and happy? Xavier Amador, coauthor of When Someone You Love Is Depressed, and Judith Kiersky attack this question in this clear and wonderfully written book. Using case studies and drawing on years of clinical work as psychologists and professors, the authors investigate the basis of both men and women's dissatisfaction as singles. Tracing the roots of the stigma of aloneness, they examine the obstacles that prevent singles from being content--everything from family and friends to fear and ambivalence. They then describe the four stages of being single, and finally, they give you the tools that will enable you to "be single in the present." Unlike other self-help books dealing with singledom, the goal of this book is not to get you married; it's to figure out why you're single and to help you gain balance and happiness as you are. Whether you've never married or are divorced or widowed, whether you wish to remain single or to eventually have a meaningful relationship, this book will guide you in bypassing the "cultural scripts" that demand you need a mate to be fulfilled. The authors show that life can be great on your own. --Jenny Brown

Place gloved finger tip on cap, point away from face, and shake well until the color has fully mixed. STEP 2: Apply Color For Roots and All-Over Color • After mixing, apply color immediately to dry hair. • Apply mixture first to your roots and where you have the most gray. • When roots are completely covered, apply remaining color quickly to the rest of your hair by parting and lifting  hair as you apply. • Work mixture through until hair is completely saturated. Do not rub into scalp. STEP 3: Wait 10 Minutes • Now, start your timer for just 10 minutes (or the time indicated by your strand test). For resistant gray hair, you may  need to leave color on for an additional 5 minutes, for no longer than a total of 15 minutes. STEP 4: Rinse and Condition • Rinse until water runs clear. • Gently massage a quarter-sized amount of the Color Treat™ Conditioner (3) through your hair. • Leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse. • Save remaining Color Treat Conditioner to use once a week for fresh, radiant color and healthier-looking hair.* If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel. Once mixed, never re-seal or store the color in a closed container, as it could burst. Pour any unused color mixture down the drain as it will lose its effectiveness after 30 minutes.

Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the Allergy Test. Start timing. After 10 minutes (8 minutes for permed or relaxed hair), check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 20 minutes. Fill in your personal color time below: My timing for desired color: _______ minutes. USEFUL TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS AT CLAIROL: • If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help protect it during coloring. • To prevent staining, apply a little moisturizer around your hairline. • For best results, do not shampoo your hair for 24 hours after coloring. • If you plan to perm your hair, perm first, and then you can use Natural Instincts the very same day as long as your scalp is not irritated and is in good condition. • If you plan to chemically relax your hair, relax your hair first, and then wait at least 7 days and one shampoo before coloring.
