'The Secret of The Lake' - (Stop Bullying Thru Right Thinking)





A fourteen year old boy named Ricky finds himself caught between two worlds. He's invited into another dimension by an unusual group of men who offer him a mission. The mission is to help a boy in his school who is being bullied. Ricky accepts the mission, but finds out later that knowing these men can complicate his life. He has to learn how to live with this unique experience, and learn how to be a true friend.

After having her own children, Brie Liberty‘s interests in children grew. She owned and operated a day school for young children in Sedona, Arizona in 1988 for 5 years.

What really inspired Ms Liberty to write the book, The Secret of the Lake, was from her own personal experience with a high school friend who was bullied. As she has said herself, “it bothered me then, and it bothers me now.” This is an attempt to shine some light on a very difficult challenge that so many children are forced to face alone.

    Blogger Matt Langdon argues that we should promote "pro-hero" schools rather than "anti-bullying" schools to send a more positive message. What do you think?

      There is little need to describe the impact of mean actions by peers. Youth who mistreat others frequently are more likely to become aggressive adults and to have criminal records in adulthood. Mistreated young people may grow up with diminished self-confidence and a sense of isolation and helplessness. Youth who witness mean behavior repeatedly are also affected.

      DR Robin Pauc's new book Could It Be You? claims that many adults may suffer from developmental disorders such as dyslexia, ADHD, OCD and autism. While children are regularly diagnosed, adults aren't so lucky. So how can you tell if you're a sufferer and what can you do about it?

      ...if you care to share...

      "...if you care to share..."

      Hi5!
      We are sharing an interesting, introspective, heart-felt request from one family to other families with special needs.
      Kindly review the entire request before replying or submitting a written entry.  Thanks.

      via Kbj Cosse'  "no longer just crying... ADVOCATE!"




      Jessica Steiner




      Dear Families:
      Consider this a CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!
      I’m delighted to announce that I am developing a collection of writings for special needs families on the topic of forgiveness, and I am opening it up to your creative contributions.
      The idea of this collection is a kind of parenting book, except with no system. It's for people who experience special needs parenting as intuitive, passionate, and autonomous, people who give it all and falter anyway and understand that as parents, we have no choice but to get up tomorrow and get back to it. To do that, we often have to forgive ourselves, for our frustrations and failings, and forgive the kids for all the ways they make it tough.

      I feel that in the space between books like "My Baby Rides The Short Bus," "Gravity Pulls You In," and "Seeing Ezra," which are groundbreaking truth-tellers, we still need something that speaks to the process of parenting and pain, evolution and liberation, in our lives. That's what I hope to accomplish here.

      I also hope for this book to help enrich the dialogue regarding 'resentments across the spectrum,' and to create an atmosphere where individuality gains traction over labels.

      If you look at the introduction to the book, which I've posted on my blog, you'll get an idea what I mean. The book will include essays like this one, which explores the topic and experience of forgiveness personally.

      http://sweetsweetanimal.blogspot.com/2011/09/parents-book-of-forgiveness.html?m=0

      Also on the blog, you can read my post 'The Hundred-Dollar Haircut,' which represents the kind of anecdotal, advice-based pieces I am seeking. These should tell a story of how parents responded to a problem their child faced, how that response did or didn't work, and carry to the parents the message that, 'Even if this doesn't work for you, and it may not, you're still a good parent, and you're doing enough.'

      I am particularly seeking pieces by non-white writers, as these voices are underrepresented in the special needs parenting community, however, all work is welcome; I need to hear from all of you.

      Submissions can range from 1,200 to 5,000 words, or 5 to 10 pages, and should be sent as a Word document attachment or in the body of the email, to my direct email address, by or about Jan.1.

      Wow.. I'm speechless and amazed. And grateful that you loved your child enough to make sure you found out what's up. There should be NO guilt.
