The governing purpose for A Family Portrait from beginning to end has been to delineate the kinds of people the writer's forebears were-their characters, their habits and values, successes and failures-and to trace in their lives the history that encompassed them. Their significance lies in their brilliant ordinariness. In them we come to see the continuity of human life which funnels the past through us to the future. The author writes about those generations before her, "no matter how different we are from each other, our experience is inevitably the same. We know happiness and grief, hope and despair, love and the kind of resentment and fear that grow into hate. We know disappointment and humiliation, exhilaration and the pride that comes from small triumphs. We are selfish and cowardly but all of us have moments of heroism when our own generosity and courage take us by surprise. Our families help us see these things. Imperfect as they were, they believed in us and loved us without reservation in our own imperfection. These gifts we keep and use and pass along to the next generation, hoping they are improved but knowing that our best-we hope we have done our best--shifts with each new perspective. This is what it means to be a part of the communion of saints, and these are the saints that sustain us."

‘Lauren Sams is the hilarious best friend you haven’t met yet’ Maggie Alderson There’s life Before Baby and life After Baby. Any idiot knows that. I knew that. Except I didn’t know what life After Baby would really be like... Georgie Henderson is discovering that in the twenty-first century being a Good Working Mum means answering emails at midnight while you purée vegetables, line up play dates and French lessons for your four-month-old daughter. Georgie’s ex, Jase, gets 100 per cent of the credit for 5 per cent of the work, and her best friend, Nina, is on a ‘self-discovery’ journey that involves a young bartender and a plan to become an artisanal florist. And all her mum wants is for her to find a man. Preferably the one who is the father of her child. And Georgie? She just wants a nap, which she's quickly discovering is harder to come by than nuts at a preschool. What Reviewers and Readers Say: ‘Crazy Busy Guilty is instantly relatable! Whose life isn’t crazy and busy? And guilt is an occupational hazard of being a mum’ Jessica Rowe 'I laughed at Georgie, and I laughed at myself. I laughed at all of us who somehow manage to get so much done in between childcare pickups and daytime baby naps' Women's Agenda 'The perfect read for a sleep-deprived new mum... With plenty of humour and relatable moments, it delves into society’s expectations of the modern mum' Chicklit Club 'It is highly relatable, insightful and filled with moments of humour as well as of horror. Sams has done a fantastic job of highlighting some of the issues faced by working mothers and included quite the surprise twist in the last couple of chapters' Beauty and Lace 'Hilariously funny and wickedly insightful, Crazy Busy Guilty is a fast-moving novel about the pitfalls of juggling a dream career with parenting, and the perils of modern dating... While they’re much-discussed issues, Sams’ take is fresh and funny and hits right at the heart of the the struggle, with hilarious one-liners and up-to-the-minute observations' Better Reading

As a dedicated practitioner, you want the very best for your children. You want them to grow up healthy, happy, self-reliant and confident in their abilities. That is why it is vital that personal and thinking skills underpin every aspect of the early years foundation stage. Personal skills enable children to manage stress, to bounce back after difficulties, to understand that mistakes are important for learning, and to communicate and cooperate with others. Thinking skills are about making decisions, solving problems systematically and thinking critically. Continuous Provision: Personal and Thinking Skills gives practical guidance on how to further children’s personal and thinking skills as you play with them, so that they continue to develop their abilities when you are not present. It includes: * Focused sections with a clear breakdown of personal and thinking skills, so that you have the knowledge and confidence to promote children’s development. * Open-ended questions to further each specific skill, as well as practical challenges to enrich children’s learning experiences. * Activity ideas and photocopiable resources to help you plan for continuous provision. Ideal for practitioners who work with children aged from 30 months onwards.
