Real History that InspiresDinner Stories evolved from a literary club in which each member was expected to write a paper, preferably an interesting one, and to host a dinner once a year. One longtime member, Daniel Hughes--who loves a good story in which the protagonist inspires the reader in some way--decided to turn his ten-year collection of essays into a book. Each chapter of Dinner Stories was originally intended to be told after dinner, but this fascinating collection of stories of real people who impacted history can be enjoyed at any time. From the well-known to the more obscure, the book provides the back stories that illuminate each subject. The result? Entertaining essays that reveal character and timeless truths.

All children need love, but for troubled children, a loving home is not always enough. Children who have experienced trauma need to be parented in a special way that helps them feel safe and secure, builds attachments and allows them to heal.Playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy (PACE) are four valuable elements of parenting that, combined with love, can help children to feel confident and secure. This book shows why these elements are so important to a child's development, and demonstrates to parents and carers how they can incorporate them into their day-to-day parenting. Real life examples and typical dialogues between parents and children illustrate how this can be done in everyday life, and simple stories highlight the ideas behind each element of PACE.This positive book will help parents and carers understand how parenting with love and PACE is invaluable to a child's development, and will guide them through using this parenting attitude to help their child feel happy, confident and secure.
