  The Ultimate Guide To Think...

  Before your child can pronounce the words "white" or "black," referring to the color of the skin, make sure he sees enough people from different ethnic backgrounds. If you do not live in an area where there is racial diversity, read children's books that deal with people of different races. It will help your child understand that a normal environment includes people of different skin colors. 
   At this age, although children clearly identify themselves and others as males or females, they still do not do so by race. They are still not able to categorize it this way. A child who notices a difference in the color of the skin does not understand the difference between one race and another. 
  If your child talks about a person's color, first find out what he says that and why. It may refer to the color of the sweater that the Lord wears and not the color of his skin. When your child makes a comment that is clearly about the color of the skin, don't make a scene. Whatever the context, it will not yet have an emotional or social meaning. He just says what he sees. 
  Although it is good to talk openly about differences, avoid putting too much emphasis on races. Pre-school children are too young to process the intricacies of racial problems. Let the subject come out naturally and keep the conversation on a simple level. Watch what you say. 
  In this book we will cover:Book must contain the following topics among others:Making sense of the world (brief American History until recent events of kneeling protest and black lives matter)Who am I? (Identity, Ethnicity)Psychological understanding of prejudice see Piaget (with experiments with children)What is RacismWhat is anti-racism?What is Social Justice?Kids reaction to diversity 
  And much more!!

  "One-on-One 101" confronts longstanding and often hidden roadblocks to successfully getting through to students. Modern education must address how to positively inspire students on a One-on-One level, as the system pivots towards emerging methods, such as “flipped” and blended learning, homeschooling, independent study schools, and One-on-One academies. Traditional classroom models must also cultivate positive One-on-One dynamics as well, as they are at the heart of the teacher-student bond. We are in dire need of a complete field manual for how to habitually create a transcendent One-on-One relationship between a teacher and student.

  Briana Scurry on concussions

  There’s been so much excitement surrounding the World Cup — and it has been an amazing tournament so far — that one almost feels like “Debbie Downer” to talk about some of the problems facing the sport of soccer. But at a time when there’s more attention surrounding concussions, it felt like it was also the right time to sit down with former goalkeeper Briana Scurry. If you watched the 1999 World Cup final with the American women’s team, you’ll remember her as the player who made history with a shoot-out save against China. 
  Scurry’s career was a remarkable one, including earning two gold medals with the U.S. team and becoming one of the first women in the world to participate in a paid professional league. But in 2010, she took a hit that ended her career and changed her life as she dealt with the long and difficult ramifications of concussions. She’s had a long road back (profiled extensively in the Washington Post) and is now speaking out about what needs to be done, including testifying on Capitol Hill this spring. Of particular interest to her: The real dangers for girls who, it’s been shown, are almost twice as likely as boys to get concussions when playing with similar rules and safety equipment. 
  Scurry sat down with Jeffrey Brown to discuss the Cup, her work and her own personal experiences and trials, including difficulties with depression, surgery, anxiety and memory. A passionate advocate on this issue, we were so moved when she came by today that we recorded an additional conversation with her about what she went through. “A year ago, I would have had trouble sitting here with you,” Scurry told Jeff.

  Originally developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, has rapidly become one of the most popular and most effective treatments for all mental health conditions rooted in out-of-control emotions. However, there are limited resources for psychologists seeking to use DBT skills with individual clients. In the tradition of ACT Made Simple, DBT Made Simple provides clinicians with everything they need to know to start using DBT in the therapy room.The first part of this book briefly covers the theory and research behind DBT and explains how DBT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. The second part focuses on strategies professionals can use in individual client sessions, while the third section teaches the four skills modules that form the backbone of DBT: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The book includes case examples and example therapist-client dialogue—everything clinicians need to equip their clients with these effective and life-changing skills.

  Timorous: adj, 1) shy, not bold 2) easily frightened.
  
  Economics: n, social science concerned with the production and consumption of goods and services.
  
  What is the best way to run a country? How long should a person be obliged to work every day? What will the economy look like after Brexit?
  
  In this new take on the Scottish economy, experts Trebeck, Boyd and Kerevan address how our economy can serve us, as opposed to the people serving the economy. They believe that current economic policies are not aligned with what we as people need in these times of rampant inequality and inequitable distribution, advocating an increased focus on the quality of Scotland's economy. Using Scotland as an example for the economic workings of any country, Tackling Timorous Economics shows a better way of how economics could work for us.
