In the 19th century, “knowing the right answer” measured through grades and standardized tests often determined opportunity. In a 21st century marked by unprecedented access to knowledge through global connectedness, knowing how to ask the right questions, adapt, and collaborate will determine opportunity. Dolphins are very curious, great communicators, highly social, and community-minded. They are adaptable and playful but also strong and fierce when they need to be (the top of the food chain – the killer whale or orca – is actually a dolphin). This analogous tale has been beautifully crafted to include details of legends, laws, taboos, myths, ancient writings, music, traditional gatherings, mating rituals, birth and death customs, and well-crafted ‘characters’ galore. – Scottish Diver Magazine The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Dolphin Way, Purfleet-On-Thames, RM19 1ND is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. Many of the prevalent parenting styles today describe parents that “take over.” Whether it is the “Amy Chua-like” Tiger parent pushing piano, the Helicopter parent hovering over homework, the Bubble Wrap parent over-protecting, or the Snow-Plough parent shoving all obstacles out of the way – all of these models create an environment of external The Dolphin Waycontrol and thereby diminish a child’s sense of internal control and self-motivation. Thus, I call ALL these styles “Tiger parents” because they are all authoritarian in nature. Children of such authoritarian tiger parents are at risk of anxiety, depression, entitlement, poor decision making, and have difficulty establishing healthy independence. There is little obvious difference between dolphins and porpoises. The simplest way to differentiate them is to look at their teeth. Dolphin teeth are round in cross-section whereas porpoise teeth are flat. Would you like to learn more about the lives of dolphins in a fun and entertaining way?

There are Tigers, Dolphins, and Jellyfish in all cultures, and this is supported by science and my own clinical and personal experiences. Throughout the history of this country, the children of immigrants from various cultures have made huge leaps. But is this because immigrant parents are all Tigers? No way! Many immigrants don’t have the time or money to sign their kids up for multiple activities or hover over their child’s piano practice. In fact, like my own parents, many immigrants need their children to work part-time, help around the house, look after younger siblings, interpret English, or just figure things out on their own. Practically speaking, immigrant kids are rarely “over-parented” and often grow up in real-life environments with enough time to play, explore, socially connect and problem solve. This is what leads children to develop the ability to adapt and gives them the internal drive that can catapult them to success. When I feel overwhelmed and stressed, I often remind myself that I am an educated, financially secure parent of three and my own mom was an uneducated, poor parent of five. So instead of doing more, perhaps I should be doing less. Heavy metals and organic pollutants in the oceans may well be the reason that recently we have found that dolphins are now growing cancerous tumours. There is also evidence that pollution is weakening the immune systems of marine mammals. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) including pesticides such as DDT, and industrial chemicals; most famously the Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a major hazard. PCBs are linked to immune system suppression and reproductive failure, and have been found in high levels in the bodies of dead dolphins in many parts of the world.

There is no evidence that authoritarian parenting and an imbalanced lifestyle (from overscheduling) has any benefit. People confuse Tigers with having high expectations – but this is confined to short-term performance only. Life is not a series of competitions confined to a structured Tiger arena like a math test or piano competition. Sky, a male dolphin, close to becoming an Initiate in the Way, unwillingly finds himself caught up in the violent consequences. To save the lives of his closest friends he will have to risk the worst punishment his clan can inflict and must decide between the two females who challenge everything he believes in. Some Reviewers’ Comments What is the most important concept or idea that you hope people take away from reading THE DOLPHIN WAY? Dolphins can obtain a good mental picture of an object based on the return echoes of their sonar. It is likely that a dolphin might be able to use this ability passively; for example listening to the reflection of another dolphin’s sonar and interpreting the ‘image’ it provides. This leads to an intriguing possibility. Scientist have leaned that dolphins are amazing vocal mimics and can, for example, reproduce manmade whistle structures with precise accuracy. It has been suggested that if a dolphin could mimic the sound of a returning echo from an object, and create that sound within hearing of another dolphin, then the second dolphin would receive a simulated image of the original object. In other words, they could transmit images by sound. We have no firm evidence that this happens at this point however. About 30 million years ago, Squalodon appeared; a toothed whale. Although it probably was not a direct ancestor of dolphins, it appeared to use echolocation, a key attribute that would become a vital skill later to modern dolphins.

Second – ask yourself the question, “does whatever I am doing now feel right?” If it doesn’t, that is your intuition speaking to you. Intuition is defined as the “knowledge gifted to us by nature,” and we now know it is a biologic system involving multiple organs including your brain, heart, and gut. The human intuition system has evolved over millions of years to guide us to. Trust it. Enormous amounts of waste products enter the sea. Some of these create a simple physical hazard and huge numbers of marine mammals become entangled in marine debris. Others ingest items like plastic bags in mistake for food. Confusion or actual damage caused by noise is considered to be a possible reason for mass strandings by dolphins. Pollution What is the Dolphin Way – and what are some of the ways in which it differs from some of the other parenting methods touted recently?

Not surprisingly, this same study showed that other important predictors of being “happy-well” were important lifestyle factors such as not smoking, little use of alcohol, regular exercise, and maintenance of normal weight. Since the Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Bringing Up Bebe, there has been a lot of debate about cultural differences in the realm of parenting and achievement – i.e., some cultures just know what it takes to raise successful kids. As the daughter of Indian immigrants, what are your thoughts on this issue? And how have your experiences growing up shaped your approach to parenting your own three children?

This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. The zetii is the name the dolphins call themselves in the novel, the singular form is zeta. The term includes all dolphins and porpoises. The zetii are very aware of their close relationship with other cetaceans, but view the whales as separate from the zetii, naming them the Great Wanderers or Great Ones. One notable anomaly between the human view of dolphins and the zetii view is that they do not consider the Orcas (Orcinus orca) to be zetii. The Ka-Tse (and many other zeta species) name for an Orca is a Krakar.expectations. Children of Jellyfish parents fail to develop impulse control and are at risk of poor social skills, risk-taking behaviors, and substance use. Stop and take a few deep breaths. Deep breathing takes us off the mindless “hamster wheel” and out of fear mode. When our lungs are fully expanded, sensory receptors send a signal to our brain that we are ok and we can now think with our higher cortex. You discuss Tiger parenting and some of its damaging effects, but do you feel that there are any redeeming qualities to this method? The zetii distinguish between different species of dolphins and name each of them. Each has its own language and customs and they are often quite different. For example, the river dolphin species have a fairly simple society and culture compared to some of their ocean-going cousins.

He had distinct voices for all the characters and his female voices were feminine. Caney also captured the various emotions of the characters as well. The pacing was good and there were no tech issues with the recording. 5/5 stars. Around 50 million years ago, certain four-legged land creatures started spending more and more of their time in water. (An animal that there are fossil records of from around this time named Pakicetus may represent this initial stage). For some reason, this change must have suited them, as they gradually evolved, and their bodies changed form, so that they eventually lost the ability to move onto the land at all. An interim stage in this development is represented by the Protocetids and examples of the first exclusively aquatic dwelling form are the Durudon and the 60 foot/18 metre long Basilosaurus. They lived some 38 million years ago. I absolutely loved Dolphin Way: Rise of the Guardians and read it in three days because I wanted to immerse myself in the fabulous world which Mark Caney created. – Feeling Fictional A superbly plotted, accomplished and entertaining novel with a powerful environmental message describing the intolerable pressure from man’s destruction of the dolphins’ world. –Whale and Dolphin Conservation SocietyIn the Dolphin Way, I coin the term CQ which is an integration of “left brain” raw intelligence (IQ) and “right brain” emotional intelligence (EQ). CQ stands for the 4 key 21st century skills of creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. These skills come from living a balanced life and developing a sense of self-motivation. They give our Dolphin kids the one thing consistently proven for survival and success – the ability to adapt.
