Changing Perceptions - Deciphering the language of behaviour

Graham Chatterley

Sinossi

This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.
The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll.Changing Perceptionsexamines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don't just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.
In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.
Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.

Wisdom and Eloquence for Parents...

Robert Littlejohn, Charles T....

With the third decade of the twenty-first century solidly upon us, perhaps the great question for our day is “Where are the Shepherds?” Have the skills, knowledge, virtues, and wisdom that once produced men and women of character worth trusting—cultural, political, and spiritual leaders worth following—been lost forever? Have we as a society forgotten how to build these qualities into developing shepherd boys and girls? 
In this audiobook version of Wisdom and Eloquence for Parents, read with clarity and warmth by Joelle Hodge, MAT, classical Christian educators Dr. Robert Littlejohn and Charles T. Evans draw from the foundational principles outlined in their seminal 2006 work, Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Education to answer these questions with a resounding “no!” 
Together with family and parenting counselor Keith A. McCurdy, the authors present updated selections from the original text and new content written specifically for parents, providing a compelling case for classical Christian education as the surest path to forming wise and eloquent servant-leaders who are equipped to shepherd their generation as lifelong learners, rational thinkers, creative problem solvers, and faithful Christians.

Satoshi’s Gift - The Past...

Michael Hollomon Jr.

“A clear-eyed and stirring argument for the future of Bitcoin—presented in crisp, smartly opinionated prose that’s always clear and never condescending.”
— Kirkus Reviews
Something is wrong with your money. Most of us can sense that. But the full picture is always hidden behind complicated words, confusing charts, and broken promises. What if everything you thought you knew about money was wrong?
From the collapse of empires to the rise of fiat currency, Satoshi’s Gift traces the arc of monetary history with clarity and conviction—revealing how the global financial system became fragile, manipulated, and unsustainable. In this timely and provocative book, Michael Hollomon Jr. unpacks the economic, political, and technological forces that led to Bitcoin’s creation—and makes the case that it may be our last, best chance to reclaim financial sovereignty in a world addicted to debt, inflation, and centralized control.
Satoshi’s Gift is not about investing. It’s not about getting rich quick. It’s about something bigger—something deeper: the right of free people to work, save, build, and plan for the future without having their time and energy stolen from them through hidden inflation, systemic exploitation, and the obscure wranglings of powerful governments and too-big-to-fail banks.
You don’t need to be an economist, a computer programmer, or a cypherpunk to understand this book. You just need to be curious about what’s really going on and to want a future where your money, your work, and your time belong to you again.
The future of money isn’t coming. It’s already here. And Satoshi’s Gift is your guide to a fuller understanding of it.
