Do you want your children to honor, celebrate, and see the beauty in our differences? We are all different. And whilst children are often wonderful at accepting differences easily, there are times when a lack of understanding can result in hurtful words or actions. As adults, it is our responsibility to teach children that differences are not flaws but are, in fact, our super powers. Lisa, a primary school student with a love of singing, learns just that in 'Acceptance is my Superpower' when a cruel comment from someone she regards as a friend leads her down a path of discovery of the true meaning of diversity and how it can be applied to everyone. Laid out as a charming poem with colourful illustrations, children will delight in learning: - How to love themselves - How to accept others - How to control negative emotions - How to share their newfound knowledge Learning by example The examples in this story are there to teach children that their differences are not to be ridiculed but instead, celebrated. When Lisa learns this valuable lesson in the book and then shares that knowledge with the person who upset her, we realise the importance of helping children understand the world would be a very boring place indeed if we were all the same. --- "Just like all the petals on all these different flowers, Diversity is beautiful and gives us superpowers!" Please join me and Lucas spread the word to all you know, Acceptance is our superpower and together we will grow. --- From the bestselling author of Kindness is my Superpower Join Lisa and Lucas, as together, they learn the most valuable lesson of all - they have a superpower - their acceptance.

David Hicks, Liverpool John Moores University, UK User participation in research is still in its relative infancy with many practical, ethical, moral, methodological and philosophical questions unanswered. This text gathers together an international set of authors to explore these issues and begin to forge some practical solutions to each of these concerns. The book includes contributions on the use and application of narrative approaches, intervention and evaluation research, methodological development and quality thresholds. It provides a practical framework for all groups wishing to undertake research based on the principles and values of user participation.

These include older people, including those with dementia, people with learning disability, mental health service users and their carers, and children and young people. Unique and often groundbreaking studies from Australia, Sweden, the UK, and the USA are used to illustrate application of theory to research practice. In addition the text: Considers the issues, challenges and rewards of user participation research Draws on the actual experience of doing research and working with users Includes the voices and contributions of users in reporting research User Participation in Health and Social Care Research: Voices, Values and Evaluation is key reading for students, researchers, practitioners and users themselves wishing to undertake participative research involving service users.
