  A parent must have a functioning and stable channel of communication with their child because this will allow the child to develop emotional intelligence that will accompany him for all of his life, making him able to express himself constructively without outbursts of anger or frustration and without closing in on himself: he will feel that he can fearlessly turn to his parents for anything, whether it is small or big challenges. 
  In fact, in this book, you will find targeted advice based on neurological knowledge of the child's brain.  
  In this handbook, you will find practical tips and advice for everyday life tried by other parents, for example:6 common mistakes to avoid when communicating with your child4 steps to open a communication channel with your children7 strategies to improve FATHER-CHILD communication 
    
  But every age has its difficulties and needs: you cannot speak the same way to a 3-, 5-, 7-, or 12-year-old child. This book will help you build an effective and functioning communication channel for childhood and preadolescence, a difficult time for both parents and children (especially children). During preadolescence, the relationship between parents and children changes, and communication can deteriorate drastically. To communicate with them, it is necessary to know their needs and what is going on in their lives.

  Vietnam - A War Lost and Won

  Nigel Cawthorne

  Vietnam was the longest war in American history. US ground troops and their Australian, New Zealand and Korean allies were committed there for eight long years. In all, the American commitment in Southeast Asia lasted 15 years. During that time over 46,000 US servicemen died in battle. The Australian and New Zealand troops who fought there lost 496 dead and 2,398 wounded. But these figures pale beside Vietnamese losses, which totalled over a million. 
   
  Vietnam was the first war America lost. It left the country bitterly divided. Many of the 2.7 million Americans who served there suffered psychologically for decades to come and the USA discovered that, for all its might and technological superiority, it could not defeat the ill-equipped peasant army of a small and fiercely determined enemy. 
   
  In this concise account, historian Nigel Cawthorne traces the conflict from its inception to its traumatic end. He looks at the political events that led to the war and examines its impact upon both the Americans and the Vietnamese, whose battle for the independence of their country was to leave lingering scars upon the American psyche. Vietnam: A War Lost and Won is an even-handed assessment of a conflict whose wounds would take a generation to heal.

  The Jesuits in the United States...

  The history of America cannot be told without the history of religion, the history of American religion cannot be told without the history of Catholicism, and the history of Catholicism in America cannot be told without the history of Jesuits in America. 
   
   
   
  Jesuits in the United States offers a panoramic overview of the Jesuit order in the United States from the colonial era to the present. David J. Collins, SJ, describes the development of the Jesuit order in the US against the background of American religious, cultural, and social history. He covers the papacy's suppression of the order and its restoration period. The author also compares Jesuit activities in the US to those in Europe and, by the twentieth century, to those around the world, as the political and religious connections between the US and the world, especially Latin America, grow. Collins also reflects on the future of the order in light of its past. 
   
   
   
  Listeners familiar with the Jesuit tradition and those who are new to it will learn from this book's distinctive and modern perspective—using twenty-first century scholarship on Jesuit slaveholding, the sexual abuse crisis, and other contemporary issues—on 500 years of Jesuit history in the United States.
