Beyond body positive : a mother's science-based guide for helping girls build a healthy body image / by Boseovski, Janet,author.; Gallagher, Ashleigh,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."This book will help moms teach their 3- to 10-year-old daughters to value and respect their bodies from the start. Girls' body image begins to develop very early in life, and many girls show body image concerns by middle childhood. As the primary influence on how girls feel about their bodies, mothers are in an ideal position to support their daughters' healthy body image development. Research shows that when a mother has a healthy body image, her daughter is much more likely to value and respect her own body. In this book, psychologists Janet Boseovski and Ashleigh Gallagher begin by prompting readers to reflect on their relationships with their own bodies. Science-backed information and activities help facilitate reader insight into their own tendencies toward perfectionism and social comparison, as well as their reservoirs of self-compassion, self-esteem, and other factors related to healthy body image. Armed with this new self-awareness, moms can commit to modeling healthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for their growing daughters. The authors then explain how key developmental considerations in early, middle, and late childhood relate to body image and show how moms can guide their girls through each phase of childhood in the context of peer, media, and other cultural influences. With scientific knowledge and intentional, health-focused behaviors, moms can help their daughters develop a self-image that is not tied to physical appearance, learn to accept their bodies despite imperfections, and resist harmful cultural messages about their bodies. Includes a full appendix of activities written and compiled by the authors, with Julianne Peebles"--

The empire of the senses / by Landau, Alexis.(CARDINAL)408473;
"The sweeping story of the Perlmutter family opens with the moment when Lev, the assimilated, cultured German Jewish father at the center of this saga, enlists to fight in World War I, leaving behind his beautiful gentile wife Josephine and their children Franz and Vicki. Moving between Lev's and Josephine's viewpoints, Part I focuses on Lev's life-changing experiences on the Eastern Front, where he becomes involved with a local Jewish woman in the poor village where he is stationed. It is the kind of love which renders the privileged life at home, when he returns, a pale aftermath by comparison with the depths of sensuality which he experienced during the war. Part II, which takes place in 1927-1928, picks up in Berlin when the Perlmutter children are young adults grappling with their own set of questions - Franz is drawn into the charismatic brown shirt movement, and is struggling with his unexpressed homosexuality; Vicki is drawn to the arts, jazz, the everything new; this wonderfully fetching character bobs her hair and falls in love with a young man who wants to take her to Palestine. Unlike most historical novels of this kind, The Empire of the Senses is not about the Holocaust but rather about the brew that leads to it; we see how the Perlmutters are pulled in different directions by the poles of their identities in this complex period (is Lev German or Jewish? What about his children?); and how such a catastrophe was unimaginable to ordinary people like Lev and his wife. Plotted with meticulous precision and populated by characters who feel and dream to the fullest, Empire carries us far from where it begins as the tides of cultural loss and ethnic hatred coexist, as they must, with those of love, passion, and the power of the human spirit"--
