It. goes. so. fast. : the year of no do-overs / by Kelly, Mary Louise,author.;

"The time for do-overs is over. Ever since she became a parent, Mary Louise Kelly has said "next year." Next year will be the year she makes it to her son James's soccer games (which are on weekdays at 4 p.m., right when she is on the air on NPR's All Things Considered, talking to millions of listeners). Drive carpool for her son Alexander? Not if she wants to do that story about Ukraine and interview the secretary of state. Like millions of parents who wrestle with raising children while pursuing a career, she has never been cavalier about these decisions. The bargain she has always made with herself is this: this time I'll get on the plane, and next year I'll find a way to be there for the mom stuff. Well, James and Alexander are now seventeen and fifteen, and a realization has overtaken Mary Louise: her older son will be leaving soon for college. There used to be years to make good on her promises; now, there are months, weeks, minutes. And with the devastating death of her beloved father as well as a surprising turn in her marriage, Mary Louise is facing act three of her life head-on. Mary Louise is coming to grips with the reality every parent faces. Childhood has a definite expiration date. You have only so many years with your kids before they leave your house to build their own lives. It's what every parent is supposed to want, what they raise their children to do. But it is bittersweet. Mary Louise is also dealing with the realities of having aging parents, and that marriages change. This pivotal time brings with it the enormous questions of what you did right and what you did wrong. This chronicle of her eldest child's final year at home, of losing her father, as well as other curve balls thrown at her, is not a definitive answer--not for herself and certainly not for any other parent. But her questions, her issues, will resonate with every parent. And, yes, especially with mothers, who are judged more harshly by society and, more important, judge themselves more harshly. What would she do if she had to decide all over again? Mary Louise's thoughts as she faces the coming year will speak to anyone who has ever cared about a child, a parent or a spouse. It. Goes. So. Fast. is honest, funny, poignant, revelatory, and immensely relatable"--

El monstruo de los abrazos : mi cuerpo es solo mío / by López, Mar.; Borrego, María García.;

Includes bibliographical references.Un cuento ilustrado de la pediatra Mar López para explicar de manera clara y sencilla qué es el consentimiento y cuáles son los límites sobre nuestro cuerpo a los más pequeños, y para guiar a padres y madres en la prevención del abuso sexual infantil. Al monstruo Achuchones le encanta dar abrazos, sobre todo a su amiga... Pero, a veces, a ella no le apetece que la abracen. Un día, la niña decide que ha llegado el momento de enseñarle a Achuchones que tiene que respetar su espacio y entender que no se puede tocar a otra persona sin su permiso. En ocasiones, la inocencia y el desconocimiento de los niños les impiden detectar situaciones de abuso y de falta de consentimiento, por lo que debemos enseñarles desde temprana edad que su cuerpo es suyo, que hay partes de él que son PRIVADAS y que nadie puede tocarlos sin SU PERMISO. Y si en algún momento no se sienten cómodos, deben decir NO, porque quien nos quiere nos respeta y nos cuida. La pediatra y divulgadora Mar López, con más de un millón de seguidores en redes, presenta un álbum ilustrado que explica a los más pequeños de maneraclara y sencilla qué son los límites y el consentimiento. A través de la historia del monstruo Achuchones, tanto los niños y las niñas de 4 años en adelante como los adultos aprenderán conceptos imprescindibles para todos, porque el consentimiento no entiende de edades.An illustrated story by pediatrician Mar López that clearly and simply explains to young children what consent is, and what the boundaries concerning our bodies are, and to guide parents in preventing child sexual abuse. Huggy the Monster loves giving hugs, especially to his friend... But sometimes, she doesn't feel like being hugged. One day, the little girl decides it's time to teach Huggy that he must respect her space and understand that you can't touch another person without their permission. Sometimes, children's innocence and lack of knowledge prevent them from detecting situations of abuse and boundaries being overstepped, so we must teach them from an early age that their body is theirs, that there are parts of it that are PRIVATE, and that no one can touch them without THEIR PERMISSION. And if at any moment they feel uncomfortable, they should say NO, because those who love us respect and care for us. Pediatrician and educator Mar López, with over a million followers on social media, offers here an illustrated book that explains to young children in a clear and simple manner what boundaries and consent are. Through the story of Huggy the Monster, both children aged 4 and up and adults will learn essential concepts about boundaries, because consent knows no age.

El rescatador de plantas / by Rivera, Matthew(Children's books illustrator); Zarate Figueroa, Darío.;

Manny viene de una familia de jardineros, y para él, el mejor jardinero de todos es su papá. Papá siempre sabe lo que las plantas necesitan. Aún sin un jardín donde cultivar, convierte su pequeño apartamento en una exuberante jungla. Un día, llega el momento de que Manny tenga su primera planta. Papá confía en él para cuidar a su nueva amiga, y Manny está seguro de estar a la altura del desafío. Pero observar el trabajo magistral de papá no es lo mismo que saber todo lo que él sabe, ¡y la amiga de Manny sigue marchitándose, aún con todo lo que él intenta! Papá sabría qué hacer, pero esta es la planta de Manny, y él quiere ser el que la salve. Afortunadamente, antes de su nueva amiga, Manny tenía otra amiga: ¡la biblioteca! Un día de investigación y varios libros lo encaminan de nuevo en poco tiempo. La planta de Manny crece cada vez más, hasta que su habitación se llena de hojas hermosas y saludables, suficientes para que papá comparta esquejes con todo el vecindario. Ahora Manny puede decir con orgullo que es el más joven de una larga línea de jardineros. = Manny comes from a long line of gardeners, and to him, the greatest gardener of all is his dad. Dad always knows what plants need. Even with no yard to garden in, he tends their small apartment into a lush jungle. One day, the time comes for Manny to get his very own first plant! Dad trusts Manny to care for his new amigo, and Manny is determined to rise to the challenge. But watching Dad's masterful work isn't the same as knowing everything he knows, and Manny's amigo keeps wilting, no matter what he tries! Dad would know what to do, but this is Manny's plant, and he wants to be the one to save it. Luckily, before his new amigo, Manny had another friend: the library! A day of research and a stack of books gets him back on track in no time. Manny's plant grows bigger and bigger, until his room overflows with beautiful, healthy leaves, plentiful enough for Dad to share cuttings with the whole neighborhood. Now Manny can proudly say that he is the youngest in a long line of gardeners.
