"Timely and evergreen, engaging and infuriating, personal and universal--a necessary reintroduction to some of fiction's most familiar mothers." --Cecile Richards, bestselling author of Make Trouble and former president of Planned Parenthood

This treasure trove for book lovers explores fifteen classic novels with memorable maternal figures, and examines how our cultural notions of motherhood have been shaped by literature.

Sweet, supportive, dependable, selfless. Long before she had children of her own, journalist Carrie Mullins knew how mothers should behave. But how? Where did these expectations come from--and, more importantly, are they serving the mothers whose lives they shape? Carrie's suspicion, later crystallized while raising two small children, was that our culture's idealization of motherhood was not only painfully limiting but harmful, leaving women to cope with impossible standards--standards rarely created by mothers themselves.

To discover how we might talk about motherhood in a more realistic, nuanced, and inclusive way, Carrie turned to literature with memorable maternal figures for answers. Moving through the literary canon--from Pride and Prejudice and Little Women to The Great Gatsby, Beloved, Heartburn, and The Joy Luck Club--Carrie traces the origins of our modern mothering experience. By interrogating the influences of politics, economics, feminism, pop culture, and family life in each text, she identifies the factors that have shaped our prevailing views of motherhood, and puts these classics into conversation with the most urgent issues of the day. Who were these literary mothers, beyond their domestic responsibilities and familial demands? And what lessons do they have for us today--if we choose to listen?

Many schools and districts have proclaimed their "strategies for family engagement" and set about "doing things" but they have not succeeded in engaging all families. At best, many have merely increased the engagement of the already engaged. Dr. Steve Constantino addresses the cultural revolution that must first occur, along with providing strategies and exercises that help schools begin making the tough cultural changes. Readers then learn how to build on that new cultural foundation and create the relationships that motivate family involvement, and ultimately create family engagement. This book contains 101 tested ways to create REAL family engagement.

The first book-length exploration of climate-driven reproductive anxiety that places race and social justice at the center.

Eco-anxiety. Climate guilt. Pre-traumatic stress disorder. Solastalgia. The study of environmental emotions and related mental health impacts is a rapidly growing field, but most researchers overlook a closely related concern: reproductive anxiety. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question is the first comprehensive study of how environmental emotions influence whether, when, and why people today decide to become parents--or not.

Jade S. Sasser argues that we can and should continue to create the families we desire, but that doing so equitably will require deep commitments to social, reproductive, and climate justice. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question presents original research, drawing from in-depth interviews and national survey results that analyze the role of race in environmental emotions and the reproductive plans young people are making as a result. Sasser concludes that climate emotions and climate justice are inseparable, and that culturally appropriate mental and emotional health services are a necessary component to ensure climate justice for vulnerable communities.

From the world's leading expert and bestselling author on baby and children's food and nutrition Annabel Karmel, comes the ultimate guide to starting children on solids.

With basic but crucial details, such as types of spoons, portion size, and best feeding time, to larger issues, such as when to begin and allergy advice, Weaning provides all the fundamentals parents need and includes thirty new healthy, delicious recipes with twenty simple puree recipes to get started.

"A master class in how to be a person." --Joanna Rakoff, bestselling author of My Salinger Year

"Astonishing...one of the most moving memoirs I've read." --Caroline Leavitt, best-selling author of With or Without You and the forthcoming Days of Wonder.

At the age of five Jessica Fein's daughter Dalia was diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease that would claim her life at 17. Before that moment came, and inspired by Dalia's own insuppressible zest for life, Fein and her family would discover how to live in the present when the future can't be fixed. In this heartfelt yet clear-eyed memoir, Fein maps both her journey to becoming an adoptive mom and the roller coaster ride of loving and caring for a terminally ill child, persevering when the simple act of taking a breath can become an act of courage. Through it all, she discovers the need to be both relentless advocate and calm presence, to show vulnerability as well as strength, and to allow joy to be louder than sorrow.

"More than an honest and humorous memoir, Breath Taking can be the guide star so many seek when life hands them more than they ever imagined they could endure." --Daniel DeFabio, rare disease filmmaker and Co-founder of The Disorder Channel

"A story of relentless heartbreak met with wit, strength, and resilience." -Jennifer Weisel Bailey, ELLE Magazine

Have you been deeply hurt by your father?

Did the man who should have loved you, listened to you and protected you inflict traumas that still affect your life today?

Are you struggling every day to repair the damage that he has caused?

Being daughters raised by emotionally absent fathers is a difficult and lonely experience; you may have low self-esteem, suffer from anger and depression and feel that you have no value.

There are several ways in which fathers can be emotionally distant from their daughters: through divorce, work/careers, military service, addictions, serious physical or mental illness or death.

It is possible that these men are narcissists who have showered you with constant criticism and try to manipulate and control you. Or it may be that they were abusive to you or were simply old-fashioned fathers of few words and expressed what they wanted only with gestures.

Adult daughters of emotionally absent fathers always recognise that something is wrong, but overlook the devastating long-term effects that impact themselves, their romantic relationships, their friendships and their work or careers.

I recommend that you read this book if you recognise some of these attitudes in your father:

- Only your physical needs exist for them, not your emotional ones.

- They talk to you in a flat, uninterested tone of voice.

- They make cruelly critical comments.

- They do not listen to you or take an interest in your life.

- They never compliment you or celebrate your achievements.

- They never spend time alone with you.

- They rarely convey their affection to you with hugs or smiles.

- They are distracted when they are with you, by work, TV or their phone.

- They are addicted to alcohol or other substances.

- They spend money on unnecessary things before they meet your needs.

- They are unable to manage their emotions and express their feelings.

- They are defensive and unwilling to accept points of view other than their own.

- They blame you for their faults or mistakes.

- They do not take responsibility for their actions.

- They deny reality when you try to talk about their attitudes, making you feel crazy.

These are just some of the most common signs. In any family, the situation can be complex and varied.

The devastating effects of an emotionally absent father are not often talked about. The world needs to talk about these types of fathers!

You, on the other hand, may be experiencing the following:

- Anger and disappointment at not receiving the affection and support you wanted and should have received.

- Feeling unloved, inadequate and worthless.

- Loneliness, without the support of a network of loving family members.

- a misunderstanding of what has happened to you and what you feel.

In romantic relationships, women who grew up with absent fathers will try to reproduce the patterns they suffered in their past and will have difficulty forming lasting relationships by going for partners who do not value and respect them.

Is it possible to heal the invisible childhood wounds plagued by an emotionally absent father?

Fortunately, this manual contains methods to identify and interrupt dysfunctional patterns and cultivate new ones that are useful and tailored to you. It is important to do this for yourself, for your loved ones and, ultimately, for your children.

This book is written for you. It will help you!
