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.

Acceptance and Commitment...

Daniel Lotz

Break Free From What Holds You Back
Ever felt trapped by your own mind? Like your thoughts are quicksand pulling you deeper the more you struggle? You're not alone.
This audiobook speaks to anyone who knows what it's like when anxiety takes the wheel or when memories hijack your peace. It's for people who've tried "just thinking positive" and found it doesn't touch the real issues.
What you'll get:
• Real talk about a therapy approach that doesn't promise to eliminate your difficult thoughts, but shows you something better - how to live fully even with them
• A straightforward way to figure out what actually matters to you (not what you think should matter)
• Specific help for OCD and PTSD that goes beyond the standard advice
• Simple practices you can actually fit into your life
Who needs this:
• If you're tired of being ruled by "what if" thoughts that spiral out of control
• If traumatic experiences still color your world years later
• If you've built your life around avoiding discomfort, only to find your world getting smaller
• If therapy has helped but you want tools for the spaces between sessions
• If you work in mental health and want fresh perspectives for your clients
The techniques shared here come from real clinical work with real people. They're explained in everyday language with examples that might make you think, "that's exactly how it feels."
Listen while driving, doing dishes, or before sleep. The beauty of these approaches is they don't require perfect focus or hours of meditation. Small shifts add up. Little moments of awareness create space for change.
This audiobook doesn't promise to fix you, because you're not broken. It offers a way to stop fighting yourself and start moving toward the life you want - even with uncertainty, even with difficult feelings, even with an imperfect mind.

Bilingual children excel at solving puzzles, switching between tasks, and even tuning into others' feelings—all thanks to the mental gymnastics of juggling two languages.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy -...

Anastasia Volkov

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Chapter 1: The Foundation of Connection
Love is not merely a feeling that washes over us like a gentle tide, but rather a conscious choice we make every day through our actions, words, and intentions. In the realm of human relationships, few things are as complex and rewarding as the intimate bond between two people who choose to build a life together. Yet despite the universal nature of love and partnership, many couples find themselves struggling to maintain the connection that once felt so natural and effortless.
The Gottman Method, developed through decades of rigorous research and clinical observation, offers a scientifically-backed approach to understanding and strengthening romantic relationships. Unlike approaches that rely purely on intuition or traditional wisdom, this method is grounded in empirical data collected from thousands of couples over more than four decades. The research reveals that successful relationships are not magical occurrences or the result of finding one's perfect match, but rather the product of specific, learnable skills and behaviors.
At its core, the Gottman Method recognizes that healthy relationships are built on a foundation of friendship, mutual respect, and emotional attunement. This foundation serves as the bedrock upon which couples can weather the inevitable storms of life while continuing to grow both individually and together. When partners understand the fundamental principles that govern relationship dynamics, they gain the tools necessary to create lasting love and deep intimacy.

Nourishing Caregiver...

Nawal Qarooni

In Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations, Nawal Qarooni invites us to step beyond school-centric, one-off events and practices to create more authentic, engaging collaborations with caregivers. Instead of asking what families can do to support schools, Qarooni asks how schools can identify and celebrate what families already bring to their children's literacy learning. Establishing this work in holistic teaching, Qarooni explores five critical literacy tenets by highlighting opportunities to listen for, honor, connect to, and elevate family strengths while inviting them further into our shared work and encouraging reflection around: 
 
 
 
● Recognizing the journey of process 
 
 
 
● Celebrating the role collaboration plays within the collective 
 
 
 
● Using observational literacy to read the world 
 
 
 
● Advocating for the power of talk to grow ideas and connect 
 
 
 
● Giving children choice to make self-directed decisions 
 
 
 
With moments of memoir woven in alongside diverse family examples and classroom stories, Qarooni shows how families contribute meaningfully to their children's literacy lives. Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school.
