Back on Track - A Practical...

Dr. Rebecca Jackson

Attention, mood, emotions, behaviors, organization communication, social interactions, learning, and confidence all have one thing in common—the brain learning. Your child’s brain mines how they take in, process, and react to the world around them, influencing everything, from their thoughts and feelings to actions and interactions.

Brain development is an active process that has no true end point, as the brain continues to evolve and improve throughout life. Yet all too often parents and educators take a passive role in this process, wishing, hoping, and praying for growth and change.

Back on Track is the book for every parent who has worried about their child and to create change. It provides an action plan for parents to help their child thrive at school, at home, and at play—from a professional who develops and implements brain-based wellness programs for kids, adults, and athletes and is a mom herself.

This comprehensive, accessible guide will show you how to add purposeful activities to your daily life to positively impact development—from birth through the teenage years.

Anonyme

The gripping first-person account of one woman's survival in Joshua Tree National Park against the odds. 
""A vibrantly physical book""—The Guardian  •  ""Uplifting and brave""—Stylist  •   ""A riveting account of loneliness, anxiety and survival""—Cosmopolitan 
In 2018, writer Claire Nelson made international headlines when she fell over 25 feet after wandering off the trail in a deserted corner of Joshua Tree. The fall shattered her pelvis, rendering her completely immobile. There Claire lay for the next four days, surrounded by boulders that muffled her cries for help, but exposed her to the relentless California sun above. Her rescuers had not expected to find her alive. 
In THINGS I LEARNED FROM FALLING Claire tells not only her story of surviving, but also her story of falling. What led this successful thirty-something to a desert trail on the other side of the globe from her home where no one knew she would be that day? At once the unbelievable story of an impossible event, and the human journey of a young woman wrestling with the agitation of past and anxiety of future.
