We grow older each day from the moment of birth to the moment of death. Though some elements of our identities may persist, they are not static. None of us is the same person today that we were yesterday or will be tomorrow. Some of us leap into a hopeful future, some cling to our former selves, some wander obliviously through the minefields and poppies of change. For all that is gained, something is lost. Moments, mementos, relationships are discovered or rediscovered, left behind or let go. Things remembered, things forgotten. Events. Milestones. Identities. Journey with twenty-three speculative fiction authors through the seasons of life to capture the memories and examine the power of self-identity as they encounter the undiscovered country of their own journeys. These are hopeful stories. A young girl learning her first lesson of time and space from an alien. A young man offering his life to correct a mistake with a healer. A young woman trying to escape the grip of her dead mother. A middle-aged father dealing with parenthood challenges in a post-apocalyptic world. An aged doctor looking to be useful again after an AI invasion. And many more. In addition to dealing with identities, memories, growing older/aging, and personal relationships, the book also deals with mental health and mental illness. Appendixes include Mental Health Resources, Anti-Discrimination Resources, and Caregiving and Caregivers Resources."--

Includes bibliographical references.Why can't I remember all that? -- Things that can be tricky -- How can you improve your working memory? -- Tips to improve memory (short-term and long-term memory)."Why can't I remember what my parents just asked me to do? Why do I feel stressed out at school when the teacher is writing on the board and talking at the same time? And what can I do about it? Working memory issues affect a huge proportion of kids with learning differences like ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ASD. These issues can make them feel frustrated or bored, as working memory and intelligence are two very different things. Kids with working memory problems can also act out in the classroom and at home. In this child-friendly and authoritative guide, international working memory expert Dr Tracy Packiam Alloway walks you through what working memory is, what it feels like to have problems with your working memory, and what you can do about it. She presents key tips and strategies, such as the benefits of eating chocolate or of barefoot running, that will help children both at home and at school, and includes a section at the end for adults describing how we can test for working memory issues." --
