Andrew Kavchak was 13 when his divorced parents sent him in 1976 from Montreal, Canada, to attend Westminster School in London, UK. Westminster is one of Britain’s oldest and most prestigious boarding schools. Closely linked to the Abbey, its origins go back almost 1000 years to a school run by Benedictine monks. Since the time of Henry VIII, Westminster has had a special relationship with the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Andrew’s parents expected him to spend his adolescence living at the school and then pursue his education at “Oxbridge”. Things did not turn out that way....

Never mind growing up; it's time we grew down. There are some 400 million people worldwide whose creativity, curiosity and determination put the rest of us to shame. They are experts in their field but have no experience to speak of. Once, you were one of them, too. They are toddlers - and they hold the key to unlocking our potential as adults, at work and in life. In Little Wins, Ella's Kitchen founder Paul Lindley reveals the nine characteristics and behaviours that we can all learn from recalling our toddler selves.

We all know the autistic genius stereotypes. The absentminded professor with untied shoelaces. The geeky Silicon Valley programmer who writes bulletproof code but can't get a date. But there is another set of (tiny) geniuses whom you would never add to those ranks - child prodigies. We mostly know them as the chatty and charming tykes who liven up day­time TV with violin solos and engaging banter. These kids aren't autistic, and there has never been any kind of scientific connection between autism and prodigy. Until now.

What can parents and other concerned adults do to prevent the next Sandy Hook? Are there red flags that warn us if our children might become victims or perpetrators of bullying or of sexual assault? How do we know when a child or young adult is at risk for suicide or just moody? These are certainly questions most parents have wondered about, especially at a time when childhood dangers seem increasingly hard to predict or control.

Want to get kids to say "yes"...instead of begging, negotiating, and pleading? We want what is best for them, and so should they. So why don’t they understand us? Because we talk to them in the wrong color language. Kids view the world in different ways. Once we know how they view the world, our words get through. Get through? Yes. Instead of our words bouncing off their foreheads and scattering to the floor, we can learn which way they view the world. Once we know this, we can use secret words that help them listen and understand.

The ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius compared children to tender sprouts, shaped by soil, sunlight, water, and, importantly, the efforts of patient farmers and gardeners. At times, children require our protection, other times we must take a step back and allow them to grow. A practical parenting manual, philosophical reflection on the relationship between parent and child, and necessary response to modern stereotypes of Eastern parenting, Little Sprouts and the Dao of Parenting reconsiders cultural definitions of success....

No two children who bend the "rules" of gender do so in quite the same way. Felicia threw away her frilly dresses at age three. Sam hid his interest in dolls and "girl things" until high school - when he finally confided his desire to become Sammi. And seven-year-old Maggie, who sports a boys' basketball uniform and a long blond braid, identifies as "a boy in the front, and a girl in the back". But all gender-nonconforming children have one thing in common - they need support to thrive in a society.

I am “that guy”. I know why they ran. I made them uncomfortable. I am the reason a lot of people don’t answer their phones. I have been fired, kicked out of school, in debt, separated, fired, evicted, in deeper debt, lost a business, kicked out of school again, fired, divorced, even deeper debt, kicked out of a band, labeled as “un-hirable”, closed another business, fired, unable to buy groceries, oh-my-goodness-how-far-into-debt-are-they-going-to-let-me-go… And now, I have a beautiful wife (who used to hate my guts), two great kids, a job I enjoy, a successful hobby, an ...

People talk about discipline like it is a bad thing involving pain and suffering. They fail to understand that discipline is good while punishment is something we have to avoid as much as possible. Children are children, as they say. Discipline seems hard and challenging. Sometimes, it feels hopeless. But parents should know that these kids need the guidance that starts at home. Teaching children good and bad behavior starts as soon as we welcome them from birth. You need to deal with all the unexplainable tantrums, attitude, and behavior that they put out as they learn to live life.
