if You Forget Everything Else Remember This: Parenting in the Primary Years

if You Forget Everything Else Remember This: Parenting in the Primary Years

Katharine Hill

Muddy Pearl
2022
nidottu
From that first angelic role in the nativity play to that first playground love, from cut knees and scuffed shoes, school bullies and World Book Day costume design, life as a parent in the primary years is an emotional rollercoaster. Amid the practical chaos of finding swimming goggles, making packed lunches, cleaning out the rabbit and refereeing sibling squabbles over screen time, many of us long for some help – a little wisdom to get us through. Here is that help. Revised in light of the pandemic and complete with up-to-the-minute resources, this second edition is filled with memorable sayings, relatable stories and clever cartoons to help steer you through this challenging season of parenting, and to reassure you that you’re not alone – someone else struggles with feeling judged, with knowing how long to ‘count to ten’ for, and someone else also accidentally killed Finny the class goldfish over half-term … (they’ll never know the difference)! So put the kettle on, make a cup of tea, and if you forget everything else as a parent, remember this …

Umbrellas or Else

Umbrellas or Else

J Diego Frey

Conundrum Press
2014
nidottu
J Diego Frey is a product of suburban Colorado in the nineteen-seventies and an admirer of cheeseburgers. His poetry follows naturally from this. "Umbrellas or Else" is JD's first collection of poems. The title of the book was suggested to the poet by his father long before any of these poems were written, but somehow, it fits.

Rus Like Everyone Else

Rus Like Everyone Else

Unnamed Press
2016
pokkari
Rus is a creature of habit. His mother left him an apartment and a debit card, from which he withdraws money everyday to purchase a drink at Starbucks. Until Rus is told by a government agency that his apartment is illegal and that he owes taxes. Lots of taxes. Rus panics and his cash is stolen by a smooth talking Russian submarine captain. Meanwhile, as Rus capitulates to the demands of society and finds an office job with the help of a micro-managing new girlfriend, the neighborhood's local postal worker surveys the lives of its other residents with an omniscient eye: Mrs. Blue compulsively steals hand creams; a secretary struggles to make conversation (much less human connections); a delivery man desperately seeks to make a name for himself but struggles with his immigrant status; and an aging bachelor, hampered by extreme paranoia, will finally have the chance to meet the Queen (if he can just hold it together long enough). With Rus at the head of this lonely ensemble's search for meaning in a complicated and alienating world, debut novelist Adriaanse weaves together intersecting lives to create a mini-epic, one that charts a hidden resistance to corporate sameness and artificial relationships.

Omar Holmon

Button Poetry
2020
nidottu
Omar Holmon's debut book We Were All Someone Else Yesterday, is a book of poems and essays that are drenched in both sadness and unmistakable humor. These works urgently embrace growth in the face of grief. After the loss of his mother, Holmon loses touch with reality until he re-learns how to live by immersing himself in popular culture. Teeming with references that are palpable, and emotions that pull the heart, Holmon's debut poetry collection feels profoundly warm and longingly familiar.

Why Play Anywhere Else?

Why Play Anywhere Else?

Chase Brewster

Ainsley Allen Publishing
2024
pokkari
Why Play Anywhere Else: Chase Brewster's Visionary Tale of Transformation, Triumph, Success, and Leadership Why Play Anywhere Else: How We Built Sticks Baseball into a National Brand is not just a book; it's a journey through the trials and triumphs of a relentless dreamer in the competitive world of youth baseball. Brewster, with candor and insight, invites readers into the heart of his baseball program, Sticks Baseball, and its evolution from a fledgling team to a nationally recognized player placement organization with a sweeping impact. A testament to the resilience of a visionary and the power of believing in oneself, the book serves as a masterclass in transformation-Brewster's transformation from a struggling coach to a visionary leader, and the transformation of his baseball academy into a launchpad for athletes aspiring to college and major league baseball. This book transcends the realm of sports; it's about leadership, innovation, and the audacious belief that you can set the world ablaze with a single spark of an idea. Brewster's storytelling captivates with anecdotes, from the inception of his groundbreaking Sticks Fall League to the exhilaration of coaching in prestigious events like the Area Code Games, all while navigating the intricate dynamics of team management and player development. At the heart of Brewster's journey are ten foundational pillars that he attributes to his success-from nurturing curiosity and creativity to the strategic use of time, and the embracing of mentorship. Brewster shares how staying true to these principles guided him through the complexities of managing and expanding Sticks Baseball Academy. Brewster's narrative is also a personal one. He doesn't just share his successes; he bares his soul, revealing the profound moments that define him not just as a coach but as a person. From the thrill of victories to the agony of unexpected challenges, his story is a vivid reminder that the road to success is paved with more than just talent; it involves hard work, strategic thinking, and sometimes, a leap into the unknown. Why Play Anywhere Else: How We Built Sticks Baseball into a National Brand is as gripping as it is enlightening on multiple levels. While it underscores the importance of dreaming big, the necessity of support systems, and the power of community, it's also an homage to the underdog, a blueprint for trailblazers, and a beacon for anyone with a dream seemingly out of reach.

Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Ourselves to Extremes

Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Ourselves to Extremes

Jenny Valentish

Apollo Publishers
2021
sidottu
A no-holds-barred, gonzo dive into the world of extreme behavior; from abstinence to ego, punishment to curiosity, obsession to reinvention, acclaimed journalist Jenny Valentish uncovers what drives those who push the limits of endurance.What do extreme eaters, MMA fighters, ultramarathon runners, and professional sex roleplayers have in common? What drives some people to push their bodies and minds to the brink, putting everything on the line to test the bounds of their capacity? When Jenny Valentish worked through her own addictions, she became fascinated by extremes in their myriad and unexpected manifestations. In the darkly funny, brash, and irresistible Everything Harder Than Everyone Else, Valentish immerses herself in the lives of sex workers, body builders, and dedicated fighters and finds that many of the people she encounters have overcome addictions and trauma to find release and community where the stakes are at their highest. Harnessing a journalistic approach that's equal parts brazenly curious and remarkably compassionate, Valentish finds herself neck-deep in her own investigation, embroiling herself in the world of competitive Muay Thai fighting and in the dark chambers of a sex dungeon. At every turn she stares unflinchingly into the darker corners of culture that polite society ignores and repudiates, asking readers and herself, how far are you willing to go?

When All Else Fails

When All Else Fails

Lana Hechtman Ayers

Poetry Box
2023
pokkari
Open-hearted and unwavering, Lana Hechtman Ayer's poems of vivid imagery navigate the reader through a lifetime-a rocky childhood, self-discoveries as a young woman, the many losses of adulthood, then finally learning to anchor one's existence to beauty. These poems explore growing up with an abusive mother, attentive grandmothers, and a distant but caring father. The poet also examines the ethos of the times, bullying, and the ordeals of being female in a male-dominant culture. Giving voice to a connection with nature, the arts, creativity, and loving relationships, the collection is filled with uplifting insights. Ultimately, When All Else Fails celebrates the restorative power of poetry itself."When All Else Fails reminds us that poetry can arise from even the most difficult circumstances. Lana Hechtman Ayers takes the raw material of extreme childhood poverty and abuse and turns it into one arresting poem after another."-John Brehm, author of No Day at the Beach and The Dharma of Poetry"Ayers generously takes us along on her journey from violence and decay to a hard-earned rebirth into nature, love, and art. In the end, we too are redeemed."-Alison Luterman, author of In the Time of the Great Fires "These poems sing with joy and reverence for a world hard as agate but twice as beautiful. Ayers' work speaks to us in a vividly rich lyric voice born to be the sky's reporter, mood ring for the rain."-Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita

Raising Someone Else's Child

Melissa Euton

Workbook Press
2022
pokkari
This book is about my life of being a mom and adoptive and foster parent to my sixteen children. I go through all the different emotions that a foster or adoptive parent may experience. I hope to better prepare them and, maybe, inform them enough that they can make wise decisions for their family. I also share some of my stories over the twenty-two years. My sharing may save a child in having a better-prepared foster parent or save a parent from becoming a foster parent. There is a lot of joy in foster parenting, but you are taking on a large responsibility. The more prepared you can be, the better.
