 | Overcoming Fear of Riding by Robyn Hold, Theresa Jordan
Veteran and novice riders alike fear the sport they love. Fear takes many forms -- fear of injury; fear of failure; fear of performance. The authors, Dr. Jordan and Mr. De Michele, address all these fears as well as other horse related phobias with proven, psychologically based techniques. Overcoming the Fear of Riding is founded on the psychological principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which counselors and psychologists have used successfully for three decades to help people reduce emotional distress. REBT shows how the rider can reduce anxiety, channel positive energy, and use inner thoughts to the best advantage. It helps riders end nervousness and negative thoughts that sabotage their riding experience. The book also helps post-trauma riders, whose fears may prevent them from resuming riding after an accident; competitive riders whose fears may interfere with show performance; and casual riders, who would like to derive more pleasure from leisure riding. The authors use many case studies and interviews with well-known Western and English riders. AUTHOR: Robyn Hold, Theresa Jordan

 | In Mrs. Tully's Room by Vivian G. Paley
Watching two-year-old Alex and his toddler classmates act out his one-word Mama story, and hearing their teacher muse, It seems the best reason to tell stories when you are little is to keep Mama in mind, Vivian Paley found herself drawn into a remarkable childcare center. IN MRS. TULLY'S ROOM tells the story of the comforting and compelling community created by the center's gifted director. In joining Paley on her many visits to this extraordinary center, readers see how childcare providers combine teaching ability and emotional responsiveness to help even the smallest children learn words, concepts, stories, and the management of their emotions. Mrs. Tully's memories of her own childhood enrich her ability to understand her two-, three-, four-, and five-year-olds, and to draw them into the world of expressive storytelling. IN MRS. TULLY'S ROOM makes a quiet but powerful case for the pedagogical skill and psychological insight that childcare providers--so often underpaid and undervalued--can bring to their work. It also emphasizes how warm, quasi-familial, even mentoring relationships can develop between childcare providers and their preschool families. IN MRS. TULLY'S ROOM offers hope to parents and practical guidelines for daycare providers on how to use their imaginations, and those of their charges, to enrich the children's minds and hearts.
