A talented English country house architect must use all his wits and talent to wind his way through a dangerous maze of murderous anarchists, spies and arms merchants at the end of the 19th century.

The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier refuses to leave the red oak tree her son planted. A father forbids his sons from joining the Revolution against the British. A young woman enlists on the afternoon of 9/11 without discussing it with her family. Inspired by Steve Alpert's painting, "Legacy," THE STEADFAST is an unflinching look at eight U.S. soldiers across the sweep of American history from the Revolutionary War to present day—and what happens when the forces of their stories collide.

We often want what we SOMETIMES have - those moments when the child is cooperating with the Steadfast Attitude Parent. This Attitude grew out of Dennis' work all his professional life with troubled and troubling children and youth - including teaching child psychology at colleges and public schools - and being a school psychologist. His books have been used by over a million readers in schools and counseling centers across the country for over 35 years.

This book is an essential part of the Steadfast Series (Teacher, Mother, Father). It's purpose is to help the teachers, counselors, parents, etc.) discover other causes for Poor Behavior than simply "bad attitudes". Most youth with personal behavior challenges have a physical basis for the challenge facing them.

"Once upon a time, there were twenty-five tin soldiers who were all brothers, as they were all born from an old tin spoon. They held their weapons on their arms, their heads were turned to the right and their uniform, red and blue, was rather smart." One tin soldier, though he was exactly the same as his brothers, found himself, by accident, setting out alone on a series of adventures. But do not worry, this tin soldier was afraid of nothing. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

After being accidentally launched on a dangerous and terrible voyage, a one-legged soldier finds his way back to his true love--a paper dancing girl.

The blade of grass that grows the highest is the first to be cut. As an unwanted infant, the Emerald Flame didn’t have an easy childhood, but he’s put all that behind him—at least until a Conjury investigation draws him back to the place where it all began. According to the rumors, a god walks among the faithful in the remote sanctuary of the Brotherhood of Guise, where the orphans of Kinmore are offered a safe haven. At last, Crimson Smoke will be able to get some answers about Emerald’s origins. But safety is relative, and the deeper Crimson digs into the Brotherhood and their mentor’s shadowy past, the more they begin to suspect that the compound was never as safe as it seemed. In the Brotherhood, the shadows have teeth, the walls have eyes, and even Emerald’s memories can’t be trusted. Something deadly is waiting in the ancient abbey. Something that no one but Crimson seems to see. He who stands the closest to the fire is the first to burn.

I did not invent the Steadfast Teacher Attitude - only the name. It's been around for centuries but never needed more than now. I researched and discovered what it is that teachers do that works - and I share it with you now. We want often what we have SOMETIMES - those moments when the student is cooperating with the Steadfast Attitude Teacher. This Attitude grew out of Dennis' work all his professional life with troubled and troubling children and youth - including teaching in classrooms and child psychology at colleges and public schools - and being a school psychologist. His books have been used by over a million readers in schools and counseling centers across the country for over 35 years.
