But They Spit, Scratch and Swear: A School-Age Care Survival

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whelan, Mary Steiner, PUBLISHER: Redleaf Press, They spit. They scratch. They swear. They talk back. They kick. They roll their eyes. They challenge. They throw things. Discipline, or behavior guidance, is often the most difficult part of what teachers do, especially for school-age programs, where there is often no curriculum and kids aren't getting graded. But discipline is also the most important part of a program, writes author, trainer, and former educator Mary Steiner Whelan. It can open the world of possibilities that live inside children -- the possibility of self-control, competency, self-respect, creativity, integrity, resiliency, and self-worth. Or, it can shut down a child's hope, her empathy for others, and her positive sense of self. A survival guide to school-age care, But They Spit Scratch and Swear lists the "do's and don'ts of discipline". The book will help teachers with little experience in the field establish behavior guidance techniques and philosophies in their programs, where there is less structure than school time and often more challenges with behavior. Beginning with a brief examination of the history of school-age care and the developmental issues facing the field, the book also includes an array of exercises designed to foster a teacher's self-knowledge as an integral part of learning how to discipline children. Covering a variety of disciplinary issues, from setting limits to giving children "cools" (the author's replacement for the punitive use of "time-outs"), But They Spit Scratch and Swear is written to inspire teachers to face the struggles of discipline and the challenges of each and every child again and again. The book urges that teachers do more than just memorize the rules fordiscipline, and instead look inside to ask how each do or don't works in a particular situation.

It's only when she meets Amber Grey that things in her life begin to really fall apart, and the mysteries of the bird strikes, the military, and her own treatment come together. Reese realizes that she must find out what they did to her in that hospital, but her search for the truth threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep secret.

Real Knights: Over 20 True Stories of Battle and Adventure

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gravett, Christopher / James, John, PUBLISHER: Enchanted Lion Books, What do Lancelot, Traistan and Sir Gawain have in common? They were not real knights. But what do El Cid, Arnold of Ardres, Hermann von Salza and Edward the Black Prince share? They were real knights. What were "real knights" really like? Did they resemble their larger-than-life counterparts of fiction and legend? Or were they unscrupulous warriors, often little better than brigands in their pursuit of land and loot? As REAL KNIGHTS shows, one of the reasons knights continue to intrigue us is because they remain contradictory figures, high-minded and chivalrous, as well as ruthless. In REAL KNIGHTS, the careers of 20 celebrated individual knights are examined. The book also provides a context for these individual stories by presenting historical background on early knights, the Crusades, the age of chivalry, the Hundred Years War, and the age of the professional knight. In addition, special sections focus on such topics as armor, weapons and fighting techniques; warfare; tournaments; life in a castle; and clothes, food and entertainment. John James's highly detailed, vivid illustrations stunningly recreate the authentic look of the knights themselves as well as the atmosphere of the age, while the accompanying text allows for an informative and entertaining exploration of the world of chivalry and the careers of knights from many different corners of Europe.
