Using a story-oriented approach, this book describes and discusses real-life issues and conflicts encountered by parents and teachers of young children. Each scenario is followed by practical approaches to solving these problems. Part 1, "Today's Family Patterns and Discipline," addresses the impact family changes can have on children, and what challenges teachers can expect. Part 2, "Inclusive Education and Discipline," examines the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the challenges for both children and adults, accompanied by solutions and supportive suggestions. The last part, "Mistakes Adults Make," explores alternative approaches for mistakes easily made by adults when working with children. Issues under consideration in this book include: children dividing time between divorced parents; grandparents raising grandchildren; violence in schools; working with children who have disabilities; and helping young children learn to share. The book emphasizes that the impact on the child's self-esteem is the one guideline against which all planning for children should be measured. Each part of the book is followed by a bibliography.

Decades before the overturning of Roe v. Wade, pregnant people faced arrest and prosecution for supposed crimes against the fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses they gestated. The Pregnancy Police investigates the legal arguments undergirding these prosecutions and sheds much-needed light on the networks of healthcare providers, social workers, and legal personnel participating in this ongoing surveillance and punishment of pregnant people. Drawing on detailed analyses of legislation, statements from prosecutors and law enforcement, and records from over a thousand arrest cases, Grace E. Howard traces the long history of state attempts to regulate and control people who have the capacity for pregnancy--from the early twentieth century's white supremacist eugenics to the end of Roe and the ever-increasing criminalization of abortion across the United States.
