Lovingly Alice

Product Information

The success of this intervention relies on her ability to feel seen, heard and understood by me and that gives me the best chance of helping her to do this for her daughter. Robb didn't make it as a professional dancer. Ultimately, her body was not built for the exacting requirements demanded of Balanchine's ballerinas, and she moved on to other things. Yet ballet had wrapped its pointe ribbons around her soul—she could leave ballet, but it would not leave her. Thus this book: Don't Think, Dear is part memoir of being a student, part dive into the history of Balanchine and all that surrounded him: the New York City Ballet, the School of American Ballet, the Balanchine technique (which enabled dancers to perform surprising new feats, but at a steep cost to their bodies), the way Balanchine demanded dangerous thinness and complete submission of his dancers.

This discussion can be informal or formal, and can take place in one to one or group settings. The role of the peer is not to approve your learning but to support and help you to think about how you can improve your practice. When discussing your CPD with a peer, you should talk about what you have learnt from doing the CPD and the positive impact the CPD activity has had (or will have) on your role, practice and the people you work with". I know how worried I can get when I leave my cats at home during a holiday, so I'd be sure to spend some quality time with yours, to keep them company and give them the attention they need. And I will happily send you updates and photos as often as you would like when you're away. Author Alice Robb attended the prestigious School of American Ballet for several years until she was dismissed at age 14. Alice loved ballet as a girl, “the hyperfeminine trappings of it all, the unapologetic girlishness.” Ballet became a huge part of her life, as she spent hours in classes and performing. When she realized, as a young teen, that she wasn’t being cast for roles she wanted, and was then dismissed from the school, she went through a loss of identity and a period of grieving for what had been a huge part of her life. In this book, she tells a bit about her experience. But most of the book focuses on experiences of her ballet friends, as well as experiences of famous ballerinas as learned through their books.

(2018) Attachment, Trauma and Parenting in Social Work Practice, Ph.D., Royal Holloway, University of London.Don't think, dear" is advice author Alice Robb got from her ballet teacher, and it sums up the ballet world quite well. Robb uses her own experiences, those of her classmates, and those of other public ballet figures to tell the story of this rigorous, pressure-filled world. Despite hard work, something as simple as the wrong body type can derail a once-promising young ballerina, like Alice's friend Emily. Those who do succeed will find themselves fighting through constant injury, like her friend Lily. The single-mindedness of the ballet world is almost impossible to contemplate as an outsider. Born December 17, 1943 in Blenheim, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late Raymond and Alice (Fiedler) Boyd. My PhD research focused on exploring the influencing factors on the outcome of parent-child intervention and followed parents placed in either a residential or foster-care placement with their babies for 12 weeks. I identified distinct thematic differences between those who had a positive outcome and returned to the community with their babies and those that did not, and these themes became factors termed ‘change facilitators’ or ‘change inhibitors’. My study concluded that a focus on identifying ‘change facilitators’ and ‘change inhibitors’, at the family assessment stage could help to inform the types of interventions required. This approach may therefore provide families with an increased likelihood of making the desired improvements and remaining together. If you’re familiar with the ballet world, you’ll hear some familiar stories and the history of some very famous names, but there’s lots here that was new to me even as a ballet enthusiast. And if you’re new to the topic, this is an approachable and informative primer.

This video intervention relies on the parent and child spending time doing an activity together each week that is recorded and then we review this together. Aside from being a great tool to help mum connect to what her daughter is thinking and feeling and better understand her needs, it has the added bonus of shining a light on their connection, their smiles, their laughter…and honestly it can be nothing short of magic... and I am so grateful I get to do this work and see how positive it can be for families ✨ I enjoyed this book overall, but the sections felt a bit lengthy because Robb had so much material to cover. I think the first-hand stories were stronger than the material incorporated from the broader ballet world. Dom welcomes woodturner Shannon from Northumberland and upcycler Ryan from south Wales into his Maker’s Marquee. When I saw the pink ballet shoes on the book cover I was immediately drawn in. I was always attracted to ballerinas as a child, and fondly remember one spinning elegantly in a music box I owned. I also took ballet lessons while in grammar school, though my true talents were with tap dancing. While I've always romanticized ballerinas I never truly knew of their dedication and physical suffering until reading this book. This extract focuses on a key principle of modern attachment theory – mentalization – in relation to parenting behaviours. The capacity to mentalizeIt’s about time we shine a big old spot light on all the brilliant pieces of work that happen every single day for children and families.

My name is Alice, I'm 27 years old and I'm a digital designer currently working from home, which means that I have a lot of free time and flexibility, so it is easy for me to take care of your cats any time in the day.

Children in foster care must experience a caregiver who has a curiosity for what is going on inside their mind, what are they thinking…how are they feeling? This is essentially the conclusion to every chapter or hypothesis, and to the book itself, which I guess is fine even though it's something we've seen discussed for close to 50 years, but the author doesn't go any further than that, and also doesn't include any more recent evidence that suggests things are starting to move in a new direction, especially as women over the past decade or so have been slowly but surely taking steps to change things. I'm not arguing that ballet culture ISN'T as she describes, and even despite recent developments, I'm 100% positive that women are still terrified to speak up about what they endure lest it cost them a spot in the company they spent years training for, but to write a book in 2023 and only include examples of ballet culture from 2004 and earlier is not something a College Writing 101 professor would allow, so it's wild that editors let it fly.

This is a peek into the (sometimes somewhat toxic) world of professional and serious ballet. It is also a mini-biography hodgepodge of ballerinas, some famous and some not.

Drawing on his magazine connections, he secured publication of Alice’s work in Life, which raised enough funds to migrate her to a nursing home. He then built on the initial visibility to organize an exhibition of her work at a local museum in 1951 — the first and only in her lifetime.
