A much-needed guide that delivers essential baby and child-care advice while reminding parents to calm down and trust themselves. Parents are more overwhelmed than ever before -- juggling demands on their time as well as conflicting advice from family, friends, frenemies and "experts" on how to achieve parental perfection. Pediatrician Jane Scott has seen this parental anxiety up close, and in The Confident Parent she shares advice on how to cut through the confusion, dial down the insecurities and unhelpful advice, and simply do what countless parents around the world have done throughout history: respond to their little one's needs without overthinking, overstimulating, and overparenting. Informed by a unique global perspective, The Confident Parent shows readers how to be not just better caregivers but happier and more balanced human beings. The book covers the basics of baby and child-care from breastfeeding and sleep training to managing temper tantrums, offering a fresh perspective that’s both commonsense and liberating. Takeaways include: * Children are strong and resilient--unless parents teach them not to be. * Picky eating is learned, not innate. * There is such a thing as being too careful. This upbeat and empowering guide shows how small changes can yield big results -- helping both parents and kids feel more secure, confident, and connected.

After a decade of living in the United States, ELISE ENGLE returns to Japan to intersect a parallel world from which she diverged years ago. Now a woman in her early forties, faced with the dissolution of her marriage, she seeks safe harbor in a Zen Buddhist temple, outside of bustling Tokyo. It is from this backdrop that she will begin to reflect on the journey to her mid-life. The story unfolds through reflections of Elise as a younger character, one who embraces adventure, love and longing. Zen Buddhist principles are interwoven with Elise's journey, to tell the story of a soul seeking peace and a sense of self again."She touches the splintering timber and the smell of tar fills her nose. Her eyes follow the heavy doors to the place where they intersect the blue sky. A few abandoned snowflakes fall, brushing her cheeks. Elise squints at the light above and breathes deeply. She has arrived. In some ways her journey has ended and, although feeling relief, she knows the most difficult journey is yet to begin. A single tear slides down her right cheek and she tastes salt. She tastes him." Entering the heavy wooden doors of the temple, her life begins to flash before her eyes in a series of slow motion frames. Within these walls she will face, again, the person she is and the choices she has made. The smell of the wind in her nose standing high on a mountain peak; the song of colliding bamboo high above her head; the dusting of snow over autumn leaves in the temple garden; the feeling of a loved one she lost so many years ago; her heart beating once again when she thought her soul had chosen death once more - to experience each image, in essence, is to devour the pages of the Season of the Cicada. In this novel, Elise creates a second chance - to relive the context of her youth and, at the same time, experience the fruits of her growing wisdom.

The Integrated Children's System (ICS) was developed to support effective practice with children and families and improve decision making and planning for children in need. This book outlines what the ICS is and how it works, and assesses the effectiveness of a number of pilot studies, offering guidance for others using and implementing the system, which is being rolled out nationally. 
Part of the Government's long term programme to improve outcomes and life chances for children, the system provides a more structured and systematic approach by integrating the processes of working with children in need from the point of first contact through to the final review. 
The Integrated Children's System is vital reading for policymakers, social care managers, social care practitioners and those responsible for implementing the system.
