Designed to help adults talk with toddlers and preschoolers about sexual abuse in a way that reduces embarrassment and fear and emphasizes self-reliance and open communication, It’s MY Body does not contain specific references and stories about sexual abuse, a nod to the tender age of its target audience.

Case studies focus on issues such as animal emotion and human "sentimentality"; the...

Written with sensitivity and an eye for detail, Paper Tiger uncovers forgotten drawings and lost photographs from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, telling a story full of mystery an...
Through circumstances beyond our control, our family found ourselves in the Philippines in 1985. As a part of that circumstance we were going to have to share a house with another family, whom we did not know. The family was the Balitons, Mel and Ruth and at that time Willy was still living at home. How would this work? Two families, two different cultural backgrounds, and one house? Even people of the same cultural background have trouble living in the same place, but here we were, so—we were prepared to make the best of it until our visas could be straightened out for South Korea. Frankly, I don’t remember one time when there was a conflict. We had some trouble keeping our children out...
