Lovingly Alice

Product Information

So began the other great Gertrude-and-Alice love story — far less fabled than the one of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas a generation later, but also one in which two people, joined together, become themselves.” My PhD research focused on exploring the influencing factors on the outcome of parent-child intervention and followed parents placed in either a residential or foster-care placement with their babies for 12 weeks. I identified distinct thematic differences between those who had a positive outcome and returned to the community with their babies and those that did not, and these themes became factors termed ‘change facilitators’ or ‘change inhibitors’. My study concluded that a focus on identifying ‘change facilitators’ and ‘change inhibitors’, at the family assessment stage could help to inform the types of interventions required. This approach may therefore provide families with an increased likelihood of making the desired improvements and remaining together. A foster carer who doesn’t mentalize for the child can not offer them the sensitive and attuned response they need, especially when they may be demonstrating challenging or distressing behaviour. I am an animal lover, I have two lovely cats, called Alfie & Isla, and I've always had pets growing up (my parents currently have 3 dogs, one cat and a turtoise!). I really enjoy being around animals, so it is exciting for me to go out and meet your pets. She has mounted fifty pounds of photography equipment on her bicycle and is pedaling along the shore to the Staten Island ferry, headed for Manhattan. Photography is only a generation old and Alice Austen (March 17, 1866–June 9, 1952) is twenty-nine. She is about to take photographs of the proper technique for mounting, dismounting, riding, and carrying a bicycle for her friend Maria’s trailblazing manifesto-manual for cycling, inciting Victorian women to embrace the spoked engine of emancipation: “You are at all times independent. This absolute freedom of the cyclist can be known only to the initiated.” Illustration from Bicycling for Ladies based on Alice Austen’s photographs. Available as a print and as a face mask.

Mentalizing means you can make links between how your own thoughts and feelings influence your behaviour. We also mentalize for others – attuning to what another person may be thinking or feeling and how this may be impacting their behaviour.It got me thinking that, where possible, the families we work with benefit from us sharing a little bit of ourselves with them. Softening in some way, especially when there could be a similarity that opens up the opportunity for connection. Successful musician Ryan wants to quit touring to spend more time at home with his young family and hopes an upcycling business will make that possible. Mentor Zoe can see that his work is high quality, but she is worried that his style doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Ryan also produces unique digital art, so can Zoe convince him to be bold and use it on his upcycled furniture? This extract focuses on a key principle of modern attachment theory – mentalization – in relation to parenting behaviours. The capacity to mentalize This question can generate a large variety of answers. It is often a helpful starting point for exploring what is in the parent’s mind about their child and what they feel is in the child’s mind about them.

A name that dominated the book was a legendary ballet choreographer named Balanchine who was notorious for favoring and ultimately marrying various ballerinas, a cut-throat intensity to push dancers beyond their physical limits and caution them to keep their weight down, or "lengthen". Despite multiple boundaries Balanchine would cross of propriety, iconic ballerinas worshipped him unquestioningly. Even after his death Balanchine's teachings dominated as the standard of excellence and would be employed by others. Reflect on my learning activities and evidence what impact continuing professional development has on the quality of my practice. Children in foster care must experience a caregiver who has a curiosity for what is going on inside their mind, what are they thinking…how are they feeling? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch! You can just drop me a message. Looking forward to hear from you and your cats! :) Alice Robb was one of Balanchine's girls: as a student at the School of American Ballet, it didn't matter that Balanchine had been dead twenty years; his ghost still roamed the halls, and girls clustered, breathless, around dancers who once upon a time had studied with Balanchine, who could impart his wisdom.This question needs to be asked gently and sensitively. It is important to gain an understanding of how a parent’s love is experienced by the child, and this question alone can trigger a moment of reflection for the parent and connection with whether their child might feel loved by them. Alice F. Loving, 77, of Galion and formerly of Marion, passed away Monday, August 23, 2021 at her daughter’s residence surrounded by her family. This is eminently readable and well-paced nonfiction, never dry or dull, and I loved this frank but loving look into the world of ballet. Dom welcomes woodturner Shannon from Northumberland and upcycler Ryan from south Wales into his Maker’s Marquee. Over her long life, Alice Austen took more than 8,000 photographs, turning her sensitive and daring lens toward the lives of immigrants, child laborers, New York “street types,” and people for whom Victorian culture had neither terms nor tenderness and whom we might call LGBT today. Alice Austen’s friend Maria Ward, who went by Violet, with partner, circa 1890. ( Alice Austen House archive.)
