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

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

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide range of foods (cereals peanut tree nuts dried fruits coffee cocoa grapes spices…) both in the field and after harvest particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin or by transfer in food products of animal (milk eggs meat and offal). Mycotoxins are of major concern since they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and animals which are sometimes fatal. Many countries particularly in Europe have set maximum acceptable levels for mycotoxins in food and feed. The book reviews the latest literature and innovations on important aspects of mycotoxins e. g. mycotoxin producing fungi and the related ecosystems mycotoxin occurrence toxicity analysis and management. Quantitative estimations of impacts of climate change on mycotoxin occurrence have been made recently using predictive modelling. There is also a growing interest in the occurrence and toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed including emerging or modified forms of mycotoxins. Innovative tools were also developed to detect and quantify toxinogenic fungi and their toxins. In order to reduce the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health of consumers alternative methods of prevention and decontamination of mycotoxins were tested in pre- and post-harvest using microorganisms natural substances or radiation treatments. | Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

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
