Emotion Regulation - Helping Children and Adolescents Take Charge of Their Feelings

Lauren H. Kerstein

Summary

Take Charge of Your Emotions
 
Effective emotion management can lead to more successful relationships, increase the positive feelings kids have about themselves and even help their daily lives run more smoothly. This book is designed to be used by adults who are helping children or teens identify strategies to help them increase their ability to regulate their own emotions.
 
Working with children and adolescents struggling to manage their emotions is a special privilege that brings with it reward, constant recalibration, and the reality that for all of us, the road to emotion regulation requires tenacity and the proper tools. The emotion regulation strategies and workbook activities described throughout this resource have roots in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and positive psychology. CBT, DBT and positive psychology are models that show much promise in aiding struggling students.
 
You will find activities throughout the book to complete with your child. These activities could also be completed independently by children up to the task. Special note for caregivers and therapists: Please take a moment to congratulate your children. If they recognize they need help managing their emotions, they have taken the biggest step in this process: awareness.

The Pandemic Workplace - How We...

Ilana Gershon

A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
 
In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
 
Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.

Dignity for Deeply Forgetful...

Jade C. Angelica, Stephen G. Post

For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's. 
 
How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing selfidentity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. 
 
In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity.  
 
With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled."  
 
Post covers key practical topics such as: 
• understanding the experience of dementia 
• noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity" 
• perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers 
• how to communicate optimally and use language effectively 
• the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity 
• the value of trained "dementia companion" dogs 
 
At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics  
on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic  
justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica.
