Welcome to consent : how to say no, when to say yes, and how to be the boss of your body / by Stynes, Yumi,1975-; Kang, Melissa.; Latham, Jenny.;
"Understanding consent is important for people with all kinds of bodies, in all kinds of circumstances--from getting a haircut or letting the doctor check your blood pressure to hugging a friend, picking up a child, or kissing someone. After all, consent isn't always communicated with a clear "Yes, you can!" or "No, you can't!" This guide breaks down myriad situations involving consent and bodily autonomy, including navigating new or changing feelings, recognizing power imbalances, staying safe in online spaces, and keeping relationships mutually comfortable. Through relatable illustrations, clear explanations, and real-life examples, readers will learn how to actively listen and observe, set boundaries, and speak up for themselves and others. Experts Yumi Stynes and Dr. Melissa Kang approach this crucial topic with passion, awareness, and empathy."--

The end of food allergy : the first program to prevent and reverse a 21st century epidemic / by Nadeau, Kari,author.; Barnett, Sloan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A life-changing, research-based program that will end food allergies in children and adults forever. The problem of food allergy is exploding around us. But this book offers the first glimpse of hope with a powerful message: You can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate your food allergy forever. The trailblazing research of Stanford University's Dr. Kari Nadeau reveals that food allergy is not a life sentence, because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies -- from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction -- can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT) -- the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations that include state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of this treatment to a matter of months"--

The way of play : using little moments of big connection to raise calm and confident kids / by Bryson, Tina Payne,author.; Wisen-Vincent, Georgie,author.;
"Most parents understand that unstructured play time is good for a child's attention span and creativity, but new science has discovered that specific, deliberate, playful interaction with parents is the key to their healthy emotional development and later resilience as well. As New York Times bestselling author Tina Payne Bryson and nationally recognized play expert Georgie Wisen-Vincent explain, this doesn't mean getting on all fours and making toy car sounds or enrolling a child in mommy-and-me classes; it's the daily, little moments together that can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, they detail the eight playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic and take just a few minutes, including: Leaning Into Emotions helps your child let go of anxieties, drama and chaotic behavior; Tuning Into the Body teaches a child to practice the art of surfing sensory waves; Storytelling promotes better problem solving; Thinking Out Loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with you, their siblings, and everyone else"--

The brain at rest : how the art and science of doing nothing can improve your life / by Jebelli, Joseph,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A narrative exploration of the science of "doing nothing" and its astonishing benefits for the brain and body, from neuroscientist and author of How the Mind Changed Everything Dr. Joseph Jebelli. We are living in the age of burnout -- even in our quietest moments, we are busier than ever, overwhelmed, and unable to disconnect from work, relationships, and current events. We view productivity as good, and idleness as bad, yet the secret to enhancing intelligence, creativity, social empathy, and emotional processing lies in a single act -- doing nothing. In The Brain at Rest, Dr. Joseph Jebelli blends science, stories, and practical tips in a nuanced exploration of the "default network," a brain system that participates in daydreaming, reflective thinking, and visualizing the future. In doing so, he shows the benefits of harnessing this network, such as reducing chances of developing depression and dementia, and helps us put these findings into practice. Perfect for readers interested in science and creativity, or anyone feeling overwhelmed in their day-to-day life, The Brain at Rest is a deeply-researched and entertaining antidote to burnout that definitively proves how even 5 to 10 minutes of doing nothing can better our lives"--

Knockout / by Kang, Mia,author.;
Mia Kang is many things: a sought-after model, an immigrant, an eating disorder survivor, and a Muay Thai fighter. Her first book, Knockout, is the story of how she eschewed normative body standards and learned to use martial arts to redefine her sense of self-worth. In a charming, fierce, and intimate voice, Kang invites readers into her world. She once lived and died by her weight, but she is now defined by her confidence in being a woman who lives outside the mold of what we're taught is "feminine." After dealing with bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, Mia acknowledges that she is lucky to still be alive to tell readers what she's learned: to not let anyone else dictate who you are supposed to be.
