Paperback. Condition: Good. Cassidy is a playful pup who likes the smell of flowers, the feel of the warm sun, and the taste of a snowflake on her tongue. Her human friends, Anna and Charlie, seem too distracted by the cares and concerns of their everyday life to join Cassidy as she frolics through the seasons. Follow Cassidy's friends as they slowly learn to appreciate the present moment and everything it has to offer. This is Cassidy's ultimate present to all of us. Learning how to soothe themselves is perhaps the most important skill children can learn. Whether we find calm by petting a dog, listening to music, or taking a few deep breaths, we can all find our way into relaxation and self-regulation. Finding our unique personal combination of ways to soothe ourselves is key to weathering the many ups and downs of life. It is wise to have a repertoire of calming techniques because one technique might not be available - it may not be possible to listen to music when we are stressed Many of us don't address a child's stress or anxiety until it is a problem. However, we can help relieve stress and achieve a better quality of life more successfully if we build mindfulness and stress management into our daily lives.Leading by example is one of the best ways to foster a positive approach to handling stress and to teach the skills to address it. Whether we work with children in any of a variety of situations or just with our own child, we find that if a child experiences a lot of anxiety or has a panic attack, the most important and helpful tool we have is ourselves. If we get agitated, it will increase the child's agitation. Likewise, our unruffled demeanor may lower a child's stress level. Staying calm is an intervention in itself.This resource guide covers exercises, materials which can be kept on hand, programs that children can explore either with an adult or by themselves, and more. When professional assistance is needed, this guide it can help to find it. The guide is not meant to be all-encompassing, but the majority of these ideas, suggestions, and activities are research-based, and are used in therapeutic work with children. It is our hope that they will provide some relief and give you and the child new techniques and skills to reduce stress and improve your lives. Although the resource guide is directed primarily to parents and primary caregivers, anyone who works with children may find it valuable for the children around them - and for themselves as well.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Known for her eponymous blog and her confessional style of writing, this is Trista Mateer's second collection of poetry. REVIEW: The Dogs I Have Kissed is the kind of book you could read in one sitting and the kind of book you want to tuck underneath your pillow for a month. It's gripping and powerful and disturbingly honest. There are poems that are incredibly comforting and others that are so painful. Trista has the rare talent of writing poems that are both good and true. In terms of literary art, this chapbook is brilliant. Trista weaves together religious overtones with raw sensuality and heartache. She's so purposeful with the imagery, connecting and breaking motifs from each section of the book: how peaches become cherries, how salt is everywhere, the shape of same-different mouths. There is this lovely irony in these poems, how sometimes the speaker of these poems is the one who is described like a dog: sloppy, rabid, hungry, whining. Maybe that's not an irony at all. The Dogs I Have Kissed is for anyone who has felt the tough underside of love, anyone who has been angry and hurt and still strangely hopeful. One of the most striking lines in the entire book is something I keep thinking about: 'Is this okay, is this okay, is this okay, or does it make me weak?' Do yourself, your heart, and your current/ex/next lover a favor: buy this book. Devour it immediately. --Yena Sharma Purmasir, author of Until I Learned What It Meant.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. You will meet people in your lifetime who demand to have poems written about them. It's not something they say. It's something about their hands, the shape of their mouths, the way they look walking away from you. A collection that will beg you to be dogeared, coffee-stained, & shared.--Amanda Lovelace, author of the princess saves herself in this one Honeybee is an honest take on walking away and still feeling like you were walked away from. It's about cutting love loose like a kite string and praying the wind has the decency to carry it away from you. It's an ode to the back and forth, the process of letting something go but not knowing where to put it down. Honeybee is putting it down. It's small town girls and plane tickets, a taste of tenderness and honey, the bandage on the bee sting. It's a reminder that you are not defined by the people you walk away from or the people who walk away from you.
