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

Food Insecurity A Matter of Justice Sovereignty and Survival

This book explores the experiences causes and consequences of food insecurity in different geographical regions and historical eras. It highlights collective and political actions aimed at food sovereignty as solutions to mitigate suffering. Despite global efforts to end hunger it persists and has even increased in some regions.

This edited collection adopts an analytical approach to understanding food insecurity by examining how the historical and political situations in different countries have resulted in an unfolding dialectic of food insecurity and resistance with the most marginalized people—immigrants those in refugee camps poor peasants and so forth—consistently suffering the worst effects yet still maintaining agency to fight back. The book tackles food insecurity on a local as well as a global scale and will thus be useful for a broad range of audiences including students scholars and the general public interested in studying food crises globalization and current global issues. | Food Insecurity A Matter of Justice Sovereignty and Survival

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. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food justice food security urban food and agriculture urban sustainability and sustainable food systems more broadly. | Food Justice in American Cities Stories of Health and Resilience

Food History A Feast of the Senses in Europe 1750 to the Present

Food History A Feast of the Senses in Europe 1750 to the Present

This pioneering book elevates the senses to a central role in the study of food history because the traditional focus upon food types quantities and nutritional values is incomplete without some recognition of smell touch sight hearing and taste. Eating is a sensual experience. Every day and at every meal the senses of smell touch sight hearing and taste are engaged in the acts of preparation and consumption. And yet these bodily acts are ephemeral; their imprint upon the source material of history is vestigial. Hitherto historians have shown little interest in the senses beyond taste and this book fills that research gap. Four dimensions are treated: • Words Symbols and Uses: Describing the Senses – an investigation of how specific vocabularies for food are developed. • Industrializing the Senses – an analysis of the fundamental change in the sensory qualities of foods under the pressure of industrialization and economic forces outside the control of the household and the artisan producer. • Nationhood and the Senses – an exploration of how the combination of the senses and food play into how nations saw themselves and how food was a signature of how political ideologies played out in practical everyday terms. • Food Senses and Globalization – an examination of links between food the senses and the idea of international significance. Putting all of the senses on the agenda of food history for the first time this is the ideal volume for scholars of food history food studies and food culture as well as social and cultural historians.
