"A riveting look behind the gates of the house of Astor as a famous family falls apart in public. The fate of Brooke Astor, the endearing philanthropist with the storied name, has generated worldwide headlines since her grandson Philip sued his father in 2006, alleging mistreatment of Brooke. And shortly after her death in 2007, Anthony Marshall, Mrs. Astor's only child, was indicted on charges of looting her estate. Rarely has there been a story with such an appealing heroine, conjuring up a world so nearly forgotten: a realm of lavish wealth and secrets of a the sort that have engaged Americans from the era of Edith Wharton to the more recent days of Truman Capote and Vanity Fair. Meryl Gordon has interviewed not only the elite of Brooke Astor's social circle but also the large staff who cosseted and cared for Mrs. Astor during her declining years. The result is the behind-the-headlines story of the Astor empire's unraveling, filled with never-before-reported scenes. This powerful, poignant saga takes the reader inside the gilded gates of an American dynasty, laying bare three generations of longing and missed opportunities. Even in this territory of privilege, no riches can put things right once they've been torn asunder. Here is an American epic of the bonds of money, morality, and social position." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Exploring Causes and Approaches to Help Children With Persistent Refusal and Avoidance examines why some children persistently resist, refuse, or avoid everyday expectations-and why the same outward behavior may require very different responses. Rather than assuming that refusal is always caused by dysregulation or is simply behavioral, the book offers a practical framework for considering sensory and emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, executive functioning, developmental skills, environmental factors, learned patterns, and the function of behavior.Exploring Causes and Approaches to Help Children With Persistent Refusal and Avoidance_REVISED_MASTER_CHANGES.pdfDrawing on research across autism, ADHD, anxiety, family accommodation, self-regulation, executive functioning, and behavior, the book helps parents and professionals distinguish between a child who has temporarily lost access to their skills and a child who is struggling to accept, shift to, or participate in a non-preferred expectation. Exploring Causes and Approaches to Help Children With Persistent Refusal and Avoidance_REVISED_MASTER_CHANGES.pdfThrough practical examples and strategies, readers are encouraged to consider when to accommodate, when to co-regulate, when to scaffold or teach a skill, and when a child may benefit from support in building greater flexibility and tolerance for necessary but non-preferred experiences. The goal is not compliance for its own sake, but helping children develop greater capacity, participation, flexibility, and independence while respecting genuine developmental and neurodevelopmental needs. Exploring Causes and Approaches to Help Children With Persistent Refusal and Avoidance_REVISED_MASTER_CHANGES.pdfWritten for parents, occupational therapists, educators, and other professionals, this book offers a thoughtful framework for looking beneath refusal and determining what kind of support may be most helpful for the individual child. Explores why children persistently refuse or avoid everyday expectations and offers a practical framework for distinguishing regulation challenges, skill needs, cognitive inflexibility, and learned avoidance to guide individualized support.
