Guiding Kids Through the Tough Moments Techniques to Build a Space Where Children Can Thrive

Families classrooms all kinds of human groups are intricate evolving social and emotional worlds. They exist to protect and nourish but living in them is not always easy. And when one of us is not doing well none of us are. This makes them a delicate dynamic messy and endless work in progress. This book centres around those moments when we must get involved or call a child out on an unsafe careless or selfish action. Pitched well beyond the superficiality of making happy families or obedient classes this book dives into the colour and chaos of life. It provides guidance for navigating the commotion and the processes as well as the grit required in the tougher moments. It’s these moments that reveal what is really happening between children and their parents educators or carers. The book outlines a special set of attitudes and skills described as using our soft eyes and warm hearts. In this space we hold a child or teen accountable using an almost counterculture mindset. One that connects leadership and strength directly with kindness. This humane approach is more likely to leave young people in a position where they might want to feel responsible make amends and changes rather than being forced to. If we are to improve our relationships outcomes and futures with this generation of kids we must commit to truthful conversation reflection and preparation. Written by trusted author Mark Le Messurier an experienced teacher counsellor and public speaker this is an essential guide for parents carers teachers educational leaders and allied health professionals responsible for the wellbeing of young people. | Guiding Kids Through the Tough Moments Techniques to Build a Space Where Children Can Thrive

Routledge Handbook of Food as a Commons

Routledge Handbook of Food as a Commons

This Handbook provides the first comprehensive review and synthesis of knowledge and new thinking on how food and food systems can be thought interpreted and practiced around the old/new paradigms of commons and commoning. The overall aim is to investigate the multiple constraints that occur within and sustain the dominant food and nutrition regime and to explore how it can change when different elements of the current food systems are explored and re-imagined from a commons perspective. The book sparks the debate on food as a commons between and within disciplines with particular attention to spaces of resistance (food sovereignty de-growth open knowledge transition town occupations bottom-up social innovations) and organizational scales (local food national policies South–South collaborations international governance and multi-national agreements). Overall it shows the consequences of a shift to the alternative paradigm of food as a commons in terms of food the planet and living beings.

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

This book examines a diverse range of community food initiatives in light of their everyday practices innovations and contestations. While community food initiatives aim to tackle issues like food security food waste or food poverty it is a cause for concern for many when they are framed as the next big solution to the problems of the current industrialised food system. They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal elitist and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e. g. racism privilege exclusion colonialism capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives focusing on both their hopes and their troubles their limitations and failures but also their best intentions missions and models alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debates on neoliberalism diverse economies food justice community and inclusion and social innovation and help to sharpen these as conceptual tools for interrogating community food initiatives as sites of both hope and trouble. The novelty of this volume is its focus on the everyday doings of these initiatives in particular places and contexts with different constraints and opportunities. This grounded relational and place-based approach allows us to move beyond more traditional framings in which community food initiatives are either applauded for their potential or criticized for their limitations. It enables researchers and practitioners to explore how community food initiatives can realize their potential for creating alternative food futures and generates innovative pathways for theorising the mutual interplay of food production and consumption. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies food security public health and nutrition as well as human geographers sociologists and anthropologists with an interest in food. | Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) rely primarily on local production and processing practices for the provision of food and are in principle more sustainable in social economic and environmental terms than supply chains where production and consumption are widely separated. This book reviews and assesses recent initiatives on this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. In theoretical terms it draws on and advances two key concepts namely place (particularly embeddedness in local economic networks and communities) and governance (particularly in addressing sustainability concerns in an inclusive and socially just manner). Empirically the book examines a diverse set of SFSCs such as small-scale entrepreneurship farmers’ markets community supported agriculture and grassroots and solidarity networks. The main examples discussed are from Europe and North America but the issues are applicable in a global context. The book is of interest to advanced students researchers and professionals in food studies sociology geography planning politics and environmental studies. | Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is a test for use with people who have acquired aphasia that can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. The test includes a user manual a cognitive screen and language battery and a scoring booklet which are all unchanged since the previous edition and - new to this release - a concise Aphasia Impact Questionnaire which replaces the Disability Questionnaire. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire is a pictorial Patient Reported Outcome Measure which produces both qualitative and quantitative information. It was co-produced with people with aphasia. It supports the person with aphasia to give a subjective rating of how language difficulties identified in the Language Battery affect their daily life enabling first steps towards goal setting. By capturing this information the CAT helps the therapist track changes over the course of recovery and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. The first two sections of the CAT are supported by normative data on people both with and without aphasia and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to: Identify underlying impairments Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries Ascertain the practical psychological and social impact of aphasia from the perceptive of the person with aphasia Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy. Structured around fully up-to-date models of language assessment from cognitive neuropsychology to patient reported outcome measures test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes.

Food Justice in American Cities Stories of Health and Resilience

Food Justice in American Cities Stories of Health and Resilience

This book documents food insecurity in urban communities across the United States and asks whether emerging urban food and agriculture initiatives can address the food security needs of American city dwellers. While America has sufficient food to feed its entire population 38 million people are food insecure with urban communities and communities of color having long borne the brunt of food inequalities. This book traces the evolving story of food by describing the people behind food system statistics focusing on cities and suburban communities across America. In doing so it raises questions not only about food security but about a food economy that can foster justice and sustainability and combat hunger and waste. By linking human faces to the data the book reveals the many connections between food insecurity and unsustainable practices. The book concludes by discussing some of the pathways toward a more sustainable and just food system by linking the food system to the larger economy and the many sectors that are connected to food. Because of these multifaceted connections food can be a unique catalyst for creating pathways toward a more just and sustainable economy that is more aligned with nature.

Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

The process of food inspection relies on an inspector's understanding of the intrinsic hazards associated with individual foods. Whereas spoilage can usually be determined through a simple organoleptic assessment the judgment of whether a food is fit for human consumption requires an evaluation of health hazards many of which may not be apparent through physical assessment. Instead the inspector must analyse and integrate scientific and handling information to evaluate the potential health risk. Adulteration of foods is also becoming an increasing problem and the complexity of the food supply chain requires an understanding of risk points to allow targeted inspection and assessment. Food Safety and Inspection: An Introduction focuses on food categories and describes common hazards associated with each using published peer-reviewed research to explain and evaluate the health risk. It is a practical textbook designed to support the role of food inspection in a modern food industry. There are seven chapters looking at specific aspects of food safety including a chapter on fraud and adulteration. This book summarises relevant published research to provide a scientific context for specific food safety issues and is an essential read for anyone interested in becoming a food inspector. | Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

Food Pedagogies

In recent years everyone from politicians to celebrity chefs has been proselytizing about how we should grow buy prepare present cook taste eat and dispose of food. In light of this contributors to this book argue that food has become the target of intensified pedagogical activity across a range of domains including schools supermarkets families advertising and TV media. Illustrated with a range of empirical studies this edited and interdisciplinary volume - the first book on food pedagogies - develops innovative and theoretical perspectives to problematize the practices of teaching and learning about food. While many different pedagogues - policy makers churches activists health educators schools tourist agencies chefs - think we do not know enough about food and what to do with it the aims effects and politics of these pedagogies has been much less studied. Drawing on a range of international studies diverse contexts genres and different methods this book provides new sites of investigation and lines of inquiry. As a result of its broad ranging critical evaluation of ’food as classroom’ and ’food as teacher’ it provides theoretical resources for opening up the concept of pedagogy and assessing the moralities and politics of teaching and learning about food in the classroom and beyond.
