\'Fifteen years ago, the internet felt like a special place my friends and I had built for each other; by 2020, we were standing on its ruins, wondering if we\'d played a part in its destruction.\'Journalist Marie Le Conte was born in 1991, the same year the World Wide Web was invented.

For the first time, The Child Code brings genetics out of the lab and onto the parent\'s lap, offering a smarter and much more effective way of parenting.Danielle Dick - a chaired professor of psychology and human and molecular genetics - makes the case with evidence that\'s clear and compelling: under normal conditions, the biggest factor influencing your child\'s outcome is, quite simply, the child - his or her unique genetic signature present at birth. Genetic predispositions shape temperament, the propensity toward impulsivity, self-regulation, sociability, fear, anxiety, addiction, and happiness. This book will give you the tools to understand your child from day 1- to crack the \'code\' on what makes your child tick-and to tailor your parenting approach accordingly. By understanding the degree to which your child\'s behaviour is written into their genetic code, and the environment in which it\'s expressed, you will learn what will and what won\'t work in helping your child become their best selves, with a lot less stress all around: you can\'t change your child but you can be a better parent.

A deep investigation of the Great Shift of Ages that is now occurring as well as a prophetic vision of our future after our collective awakening• Explores how to consciously evolve, heal our generational trauma, and awaken to the amazing potential we each hold for transformation • Shares unique maps and models for psychospiritual integration, spiritual awakening, and evolving consciousness • Examines the evolutionary continuum of the soul and catalytic astrological events that will influence humanity in the years and decades ahead Humanity is undergoing a planetary wake-up call: in order to survive the global spiritual, ecological, and cultural crises we now face, the long, dark night of the collective soul,we need to consciously evolve, heal our generational trauma, and awaken to the amazing potential we each hold for profound transformation. In this sweeping exploration of love, consciousness, and awakening, Nicolya Christi offers a deep investigation of the Great Shift of Ages that is now occurring. She shares detailed personal accounts of the extraordinary metaphysical, psychic, and out-of-body experiences she has had throughout her life along with the direct spiritual insights she gained as a result. She explores what consciousness is and examines the evolutionary continuum of the soul--including the voyage of the incarnate soul, the metaphysical-spiritual reality of the excarnate soul, and the beyond-soul reality. She also shares maps and models for psychospiritual integration, awakening, and evolving consciousness that she has pioneered. Examining the personal and collective human shadow, the author looks at the central role epigenetics play in our current fear-based reality and explores the impact of stories of wounding from a personal, ancestral, and karmic perspective. Focusing on healing generational and collective trauma, she shows how by changing our “story,” we can change the world and transcend the shadow of human experience. She explores spiritual wisdom from ancient cultures spanning millennia, especially the Classic Maya, and highlights evolutionary astrological events that will influence humanity in the years and decades ahead as we more fully awaken. Sharing her vision for the New Earth, Nicolya reveals how deeply feeling and envisioning our post-transformation future as if it has already happened will help bring it into being. She also shares a look into the new epoch of wellness, regeneration, psychology, biology, and technology that will unfold as humanity transitions from the dysfunctional old paradigm into a conscious and awakened new world.

If you\'re like most parents, you want-more than anything-for your child to feel safe, loved, and confident that their needs will be met. However, this can be difficult when you\'re sharing custody with an ex. Instead of working together, you may feel at war with one another, and in the end, nobody wins-especially your child. So, how can you ensure that you and your ex are on the same page when it comes to co-parenting? With this unique and highly practical guide, you\'ll learn the science of attachment theory, and how to apply it to your co-parenting relationship. Secure attachment refers to the bond between a parent and young child, which gives that child a stable and secure basis from which to negotiate life going forward. A child with a secure base can weather the storms of trauma and life changes -such as those caused by divorce-much more easily than a child who doesn\'t. Co-parents who understand this principle have a significant advantage, because they can learn how to provide secure attachment for their child, even while no longer living under the same roof.You\'ll learn the \"principles of engagement\" for successful co-parenting:- Commitment: Create certainty in the midst of change by committing to show up and be present for your child, thereby creating trust and reducing anxiety. - Collaboration: Work together, with a shared vision for co-parenting, to create win-win-wins for all. - Clarity: Maintain clear, concise, calm, and timely communications, thereby minimizing misunderstandings and providing accountability. - Consistency: Build consistent structures in both homes to create reliable and predictable environments.- Community: Cultivate community and external support systems, thereby expanding the circle of love. Co-parenting is often difficult, and sometimes it can feel like a battle. But it doesn\'t have to be this way. Using the insight and wisdom in this guide, you\'ll learn how to build a solid and supportive co-parenting team. And the real winner will be your kid!

\'Powerful, profound and completely engrossing, this is a multitudinous meditation on not only technology but also history, culture, ideas, ethics, psychology and, above all, what it means to be human.\' – Michael Bhaskar, co-author of The Coming WaveWise Animals explores the history of our relationship with technology, and our deep involvement with our creations from the first use of tools and the taming of fire, via the invention of reading and printing, to the development of the computer, the creation of the internet and the emergence of AI.Human children know no more of modern technology than their ancestors did of older technologies thousands of years ago, and develop in relation to the technologies of their time. We co-evolve with technology as individuals as we have as a species over thousands of years.Rather than see technology as a threat, this deeply humanist contribution to the debate proposes that we are neither masters nor victims of our technologies. They are part of who we are, and our future – and theirs – is in our hands. Σελίδες: 336, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0813, Διαστάσεις: 23.3x23.3cm
