The story that captivated a nation?how a horribly neglected little girl was rescued by her loving adoptive parents In July 2005, a six-year-old girl named Danielle was removed from her Florida home after authorities found her living in bug-ridden squalor, subjected to horrific neglect and so damaged by her own mother that recovery seemed hopeless.

50 правил, которые должна знать каждая девушка

Этикет для юной леди

Cum să te porți • Cum să vorbești • Alte reguli care te vor ajuta în viață Bunele maniere reprezintă un aspect esențial pentru evoluția fiecărei fete către viața de adult. Școala, lecțiile de pian, o întâlnire cu prietenele, cina cu bunicii, petrecerile în pijama, aniversările... fetele din ziua de azi sunt foarte ocupate, viața lor fiind plină de activități și de momente de interacțiune cu cei din jur. Însă ocaziile de a lega prietenii, de a face o bună impresie și de a se bucura de experiențe extraordinare s-ar putea transforma în situații dificile dacă ele nu au deprins regulile fundamentale de conduită în societate. Deși regulile pe care le cere eticheta nu mai sunt învățate așa cum se făcea cândva, bunele maniere sunt și în zilele noastre la fel de necesare cum erau în trecut. 50 de lucruri pe care ar trebui să le știe fetele reprezintă o ilustrare modernă a faptului că fetele trebuie să știe să răspundă politicos și adecvat în orice împrejurare.

50 de lucruri pe care ar trebui sa le știe fetele

School, clubs, soccer practice, piano lessons, study groups, latte with friends, dinner with grandparents, sleepovers, birthday parties, shopping—young ladies today are always on the go, their busy lives filled with activities and socializing. Girls interact with more people and in more places than ever before. But all of those opportunities to build friendships, make a good impression, and enjoy exciting experiences can go awry if she hasn’t learned the basics of good conduct, respectful interaction, and thoughtful behavior. While the formal rules of etiquette are not taught the way they once were, good manners are as critical today as they ever were. 50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know provides a modern update on the ageless idea that girls should know appropriate and courteous responses to any given situation. Good manners aren’t just some quaint idea and old-fashioned concept from the past. They’re an essential aspect of every young lady’s path to adulthood and the skills she will need to thrive in whatever she chooses to do. In an ever-changing world, good manners never go out of style.

50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know

In juli 2005 treft de politie van Florida in een piepklein achterkamertje van een vervallen huis een kind aan, een meisje van een jaar of zes, vervuild en onder de vlooien- en luizenbeten. Ze kijkt dwars door hen heen, wiegend en zwijgend. Het meisje wordt acuut meegenomen en blijkt in de bijna zeven jaar van haar leven nooit geknuffeld, voorgelezen of verzorgd te zijn. Er lijkt geen hoop op herstel, de jaren dat een kind leert praten en liefhebben liggen al een jaar of twee achter haar.Diane en Bernie Lierow hebben besloten een kind te adopteren. Ze hebben samen al een zoon en willen graag nog een dochter. Liefst een die zindelijk en zelfstandig is en al een beetje voor zichzelf kan zorgen. Maar dan kijken ze in de grote bruine ogen van Dani. Tegen ieders advies in adopteren ze haar. Met kleine stapjes leren ze Dani communiceren, eten, liefhebben... kortom, weer een kind te zijn.
