Throughout, JMJ's personality and devotion to the electronic cause shines through, aided by biographical anecdotes and his unparalleled depth of knowledge.

<b>This limited deluxe hardcover features gorgeous stenciled edges - available on the first printing only! </b><br/><br/><b>From R.F. Kuang, the acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author of Katabasis and Yellowface, comes a wryly humorous and profoundly moving coming-of-age novel that grapples with grief, language, and culture shockall set against the backdrop of an unforgettable summer in Taipei.</b><br/><br/>College freshman Lily Chen is off to spend the summer in Taipei at an intensive language program like so many Chinese American students before her, hoping to connect with the culture she inherited but never fully understood. But a promising start quickly unravels. Her classes are grueling, her roommate is driving her insane, and a reckless trip to the hot springs with a guy she barely knows soon has her classmates viciously gossiping. She feels adrift, a foreigner in a country she thought would feel like home.<br/><br/>Then shocking news arrives: Lilys grandfather has passed away. The loss forces her to grapple with now-unanswerable questions about her family history. As Lily grieves, shes drawn into a journey of self-discoverypiecing together memories, stories, and silences over a series of hilarious and devastating attempts at connection.<br/><br/>Taipei Story asks: What if the diaspora fantasy of homecoming never comes true? What if learning a language cant bring you any closer to the people youre trying to reach? What if you search for your familys history, but your family doesnt want to share? What if you wait too long to ask the right questions? As Lily struggles for answers, her summer becomes a poignant search for understandingof herself, her family, and the meaning of home.

Learn how to successfully form closer connections to your children, with effective boundaries, so the whole family can thrive. <br/><br/>Dr Siggie has witnessed firsthand how the parenting pendulum has swung from overly strict to overly permissive. Parents often try to take both approaches and end up zigzagging between extremes, creating a power shift that has caused many to lose their grounding. This is part of a pattern she calls 'the over'. Overaccommodating, overexplaining, overfixing, overnegotiating, and even overempathizing have become the new normal, leaving little room for coping, resilience and functionality. <br/><br/><em>You Are the Parent </em>is a reminder that children need their parents alongside them, helping them find and develop their inner skills to face and manage their inner and outer challenges. The key to this is creating safe parameters for children to practise challenges, not avoid them altogether. <br/><br/>Dr Siggie, leading child behavioural and developmental specialist, shares parenting tools that grow alongside your child over the formative years of ages two to seven. She sets her six principles of emotional/behavioural processing, with real-life examples, sample scripts and easy, practical advice on how to apply the highly impactful principles to your parenting style.
