Rescuing the Emotional Lives of Overweight Children: What Our Kids Go through - and how We Can Help

Author: Michael Palmer

Helping your child through a weight problem doesn't have to be a long, difficult process. In Rescuing the Emotional Lives of Overweight Children, Dr. Sylvia Rimm, one of America's most trusted family psychologists for more than 20 years, cuts to the heart of the issue with simple advice you can use today, even as you are still searching for ways to help your child lose weight.

You will discover:
* How to coach your child to success, rather than judge his shortcomings
* Why overweight girls feel pressure to have sex at an earlier age than their friends--and how to protect them
* How to set guidelines for television and computer time
* Ways to keep your child from getting bullied at school
* Conversations you can have with your child's siblings to get their support

Plus, meet dozens of adults who overcame their childhood weight problems. These real people show you the simple strategies that their parents used to help them to success--ideas you'll want to use in your own family, such as:
* Focusing your child on her strengths to take the sting out of getting teased at school
* Helping your child find the right clothes to fit in with her peers
* Using a special-interest camp or exercise group to build positive peer relationships
* Identifying other adults who can build your child's self-esteem
* The best ways to praise your child

Workflow Management: Models, Methods, and Systems

Author: Wil van der Aalst

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to workflow management, the management of business processes with information technology. By defining, analyzing, and redesigning an organization's resources and operations, workflow management systems ensure that the right information reaches the right person or computer application at the right time. The book provides a basic overview of workflow terminology and organization, as well as detailed coverage of workflow modeling with Petri nets. Because Petri nets make definitions easier to understand for nonexperts, they facilitate communication between designers and users. The book includes a chapter of case studies, review exercises, and a glossary. A special Web site developed by the authors, workflowcourse.com, features animation, interactive examples, lecture materials, exercises and solutions, relevant links, and other valuable resources for the classroom.
