Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3-8 | Stephanie Harvey

As we get closer to the end of the year, time to update my #Nonfiction2020 card again!

I added “Co-dependency No More” for #SomethingAboutAddiction

“Lives In Ruins” to #somethingAboutEconomics, it‘s amazing how much of archeology is based on economics and how many Archeologists are living in poverty, lots of volunteering with no healthcare, donated vehicles, etc. Interesting for a totally different reason than I originally picked up the book!

Chab256 I love this bingo card idea! 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Chab256 I made a new one for 2021 if you are interested in some nonfiction bingo. 4y

My #SomethingAboutAddiction pick for #Nonfiction2020

It‘s important to remember as our country deals with a lot of opioid and prescription drug abuse, enabled by some doctors and pharmaceutical companies as we are now finding out in lawsuits, that dependency effects the whole family, not just those addicted. All their loved ones, and the coping strategies they used to survive, are something we as a country have to be aware of and work through.⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ I‘m in the US and I think this is another reason why we should be looking into some universal health care that includes mental health care, because as this book demonstrates, families can become codependent as their loved ones are dependent on chemical substances, and programs like Al-anon and Nar-anon are available, but counseling might be needed for many families too to break out of these cycles, ⤵️ (edited) 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ which can be repeated as children grow up and employ those same unhealthy coping mechanisms in their later adult relationships, and with their future children. 4y
