Artist Lauren Radke’s children’s book Dinner with the Queen brings back Frog and his friends, colorful characters she has enjoyed creating for years. The idea sparked while constantly reminding one of her sons the need to keep his elbows off the table while eating as someday he may have dinner with an important dignitary. The endearing characters, Frog, and his friends, share examples of manners and being polite. Being polite is important around our friends and family as well, helping us fit in and gain acceptance by others. When to say sorry, excuse me and nice to meet you are a few examples of manners shared in the book. Also, our need for reminders about being polite is illustrated with the charming frog, mouse, and ladybug. A fun and colorful way to remind kids that everyone appreciates good manners. The simple, colorfully illustrated book is the third in a series of kindness, friendship, and acceptance. The charming, cheerful characters gently remind us of basic manners and examples of being polite. Having raised four boys and regularly surrounded by preschool grandchildren, Lauren knows the importance and necessity of regular reminders. Everyone can benefit from these suggestions while reading Dinner with the Queen to their little ones, reinforcing the message. The amiable Frog, Mouse and Ladybug characters have existed for years and inspiring the development of the characters into simple stories with simple messages are her young grandchildren.

Will You Be My Friend?

By: Lauren Radke

Artist Lauren Radke’s children’s book Will You Be My Friend? introduces Frog and his friends, colorful characters she has enjoyed creating for years. The endearing characters share their message of friendship, and the many different aspects of being friends with someone. Frog learns his friends might not look anything like him and that is okay. He also learns that it is alright to have just one or two special friends as not everyone has a large circle of friends. Examples of being a good friend are shared from listening and sharing, to helping and hugging. The book concludes with suggesting being a friend to others and sharing your happiness of having someone as a friend. All friendships are different from the next one, and it is important for children to realize this. The simple, colorfully illustrated book is the second in a series of kindness, friendship, and acceptance. The charming, cheerful characters gently implement the facets of friendship. Having raised four boys and regularly surrounded by preschool grandchildren, Lauren knows the importance and necessity of regular reminders. Everyone can benefit from these suggestions while reading Will You Be My Friend? to their little ones, reinforcing the message. Being nice was always a Radke rule and she regularly quoted “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” What better way to be a friend and have a friend than by being a nice person? The amiable Frog, Mouse and Ladybug characters have existed for years and inspiring the development of the characters into simple stories with simple messages are her young grandchildren.

Analyzing Christmas in Film

Santa to the Supernatural

By: Lauren Rosewarne

Film plays a vital role in the celebration of Christmas. For decades, it has taught audiences about what the celebration of the season looks like – from the decorations to the costumes and to the expected snowy weather – as well as mirrors our own festivities back to us. Films like It’s a Wonderful Life and Home Alone have come to play key roles in real-life domestic celebrations: watching such titles has become, for many families, every bit as important as tree-trimming and leaving cookies out for Santa. These films have exported the American take on the holiday far and wide and helped us conjure an image of the perfect holiday. Rather than settling the ‘what is a Christmas film?’ debate – indeed, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are discussed within – Analyzing Christmas in Film: Santa to the Supernatural focuses on the how Christmas is presented on the deluge of occasions when it appears. While most Christmas films are secular, religion makes many cameos, appearing through Nativity references, storylines involving spiritual rebirth, the framing of Santa as a Christ-like figure and the all-importance of family, be it the Holy family or just those gathered around the dining table. Also explored are popular narratives involving battles with stress and melancholy, single parents and Christmas martyrs, visits from ghosts and angels, big cities and small towns, break-ups and make-ups and the ticking clock of mortality. Nearly 1000 films are analyzed in this volume to determine what the portrayal of Christmas reveals about culture, society and faith as well as sex roles, consumerism, aesthetics and aspiration.

The Psychology of Sympathy

The Psychology of Sympathy

By: Lauren Wispé

The origins of this book probably go back to Gordon Allport's seminar in social psychology at Harvard during the late 1940s and to the invitation from Gardner Lindzey, some years later, to contribute a section on "Sympathy and Empathy" to the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (1968). Since those early beginnings, the book has been "in the process of becoming. " During that time I have benefited greatly from the knowledge and assistance of many colleagues, especially the following, who read and commented upon portions of the manuscript: Raymond Gastil, the late Joseph Katz, David McClelland, Jitendra Mohanty, Paul Mussen, Richard Solomon, and Bernard Weiner. To Kenneth Merrill for a close reading of the Hume material and to M. Brewster Smith for a careful reading of and suggestions on Chapters 7 and 8, I am especially indebted. Beverly Joyce withstood constant interruptions to provide much-needed library assistance, and Vivian Wheeler gave generously of her excellent editorial experience and knowledge. A fellowship at the Battelle Research Center in Seattle and an appointment as a visiting scholar at Harvard were of incalculable help, providing opportunity, stimulation, and freedom from teaching responsibilities. To all of the above I am deeply indebted. Just a few words about the organization of this book.

Welcome to the town of Maximum Strength Parenting, a happy little place where youll have a lot to do, a lot to think about, and a lot of fun! Maximum Strength Parenting is the art of using all of your gifts and knowledge in the most important and influential job you will ever have, parenting. A Maximum Strength Parent helps foster the growth of a Maximum Strength Child, which is a child who enjoys the process of striving to his or her potential and acts with courage, consistency, responsibility, power, authority, flexibility, sound judgment, and humanity in his or her emotional, intellectual, spiritual, moral, and physical interactions with the world. Maximum Strength Parenting is the greatest gift you can give your child. In Maximum Strength Parenting we express our Freedom of Speech and our Freedom to Teach, but we stop well-short of the Freedom to Preach that is evident in so many parent-advice books of the day. Throughout Maximum Strength Parenting you will find rich information, balanced commentary, and consideration of nuanced points that will cause you to think more deeply about your positions (or perhaps re-think your positions) on countless topics of philosophical and practical importance in parenting. We also provide broad ranges of effective parenting strategies for you to choose from. Throughout these pages we have provided hundreds of little bits of insight, encouragement, strategy, inspiration, and solution options. From our hearts to yours, we hope you will find the ideas and strategies in Maximum Strength Parenting to be worthy companions on your lifelong journey of raising a Maximum Strength Child.
