And if you have anything at all to do with children, you may enjoy viewing the inspirational slideshow/movie we've found.

Tricky Kids
|
Andrew Fuller's latest book, Tricky Kids, is now available.
One of the paradoxes of life is that many tricky kids resemble great figures in world history. Tricky Kids helps parents and teachers to transform conflict and to help these kids reach their potential.
Another great resource from Andrew, written in his usual clear and down-to-earth style. Tricky Kids deals with both the challenges and joys of being/working with young people, incorporating humour and a wealth of practical ideas.
For more information, download this review from the Canberra Times.
Cost is $24.95 AUD. You can order Tricky Kids online from Inyahead Press or call 1300 556 830.

A Little Inspiration |
Finally, an inspirational movie/slideshow to view online: Because Our Children are Watching.
For all teachers, family workers, parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, babysitters - or anyone who teaches or cares for children. A reminder of how little things can make a big difference. :-)
This is the online version of one of several resources for parents, teachers and kids produced by a company called Walk the Talk in the US.
Their website says they produce resources for personal and professional success, based on ethical leadership and values-based practices. Postage to Australia appears to be a standard $6.95 USD whether for one or several items.
Australian Starlink readers interested in the resources should also be aware of DVD player compatibility.
