Broccoli Boot Camp - Basic Training for Parents of Selective Eaters

Keith E. Williams, Laura Seiverling

Sinopse

Broccoli Boot Camp is a comprehensive guide for parents of children who are selective or picky eaters, and can be used with children with or without special needs (e.g, autism or Down syndrome). It presents commonsense behavioral interventions to successfully expand children's diet variety and preferences for healthy foods.

The book starts with the simple premise that when children are encouraged to taste and consume tiny portions of new foods, repeatedly and with lessening resistance, they learn to accept and enjoy the foods as part of their regular diets. Real-life, compelling case studies and abundant research findings support the authors' advice on how to overcome a child's selective eating. It describes ways to increase compliance, factors to consider when choosing an intervention, and strategies to shape behavior.

Finally, five intervention plans are presented with step-by-step procedures, modifications, and tips on maximizing success. Parents can choose the intervention which works best for their family's circumstances. The book also contains forms to track data, incentives, and meals, and a behavior contract to use with older children. Broccoli Boot Camp gives parents the tools they need to promote healthy eating for their child as well as improve the family mealtime experience!

This second edition includes updated references, two new interventions plans, and an expanded discussion of nutrient deficiencies along with recommendations for preventing and treating them. Other updates include clarifications on modeling. There is also a guide for clinicians at the end of the book.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Relationships and happiness are two of the most talked-about and sought-after aspects of human existence. From fairy tales to modern social media trends, we are inundated with messages about what they should look like and how they should feel. Yet, despite this overwhelming focus, countless people find themselves dissatisfied, confused, or even heartbroken in their pursuit of meaningful connections and lasting joy. Why is it that something so fundamental to our lives feels so elusive?
The truth is, much of what we believe about relationships and happiness is rooted in myths, misconceptions, and societal expectations that don’t align with reality. We’re told that finding "the one" will complete us or that a perfect relationship will make all our troubles disappear. We chase milestones, like getting married or achieving career success, believing they will finally bring us happiness. But what happens when the dream doesn’t match reality? What if the problem isn’t with us, but with the stories we’ve been told?
This book was born out of a desire to unravel these myths and uncover the shocking truths about relationships and happiness. It’s not about pointing fingers or assigning blame but about understanding why we often fall short of the fulfillment we seek. It’s about looking at relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or familial—not as the sole key to happiness but as one piece of a much larger puzzle. It’s about redefining happiness itself, shifting away from fleeting moments of pleasure toward a deeper, more sustainable sense of contentment.

Sociopathy and Scams -...

Wesley Felt

This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
Book 1 -  Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally. 
Book 2 - Influence, at its core, means having the power to affect people or situations. Subconsciously, we are constantly influenced and are influencing others through countless factors that impact our decisions. Even something as mundane as choosing toothpaste involves a myriad of external influences. Influence is a universal phenomenon, not confined by species or origin. Although the factors that contribute to influence might seem endless, social scientists have identified fewer than ten key aspects. This book will explore how to effectively influence others to achieve your desired outcomes.

The Gospel Of Peace What You Are...

davide appi

Love will always triumph over Evil The world is ruled by a handful of Super Rich. These, in their short-sighted management of the planet, are leading Humanity to its own self-destruction. The problem is that the same destructive dynamics, typical of the egoic mind that dominate the Universal Masters, also dwell in us common mortals, so on a smaller scale we are all co-responsible for the current situation. Do we want to continue on this path, remaining in our `old ego`, and thus become passive accomplices of Humanity`s self-destruction? Or do we want to be protagonists of the global Awakening of Consciousness, to head towards a New Promised Land, save ourselves from the nuclear holocaust, and build the Earthly Paradise? But how to `Be the change we want to see realised in the world?`
