ONE day Rabbit and Piglet were sitting outside Pooh's front door listening to Rabbit, and Pooh was sitting with them. It was a drowsy summer afternoon, and the Forest was full of gentle sounds, which all seemed to be saying to Pooh, "Don't listen to Rabbit, listen to me." So he got into a comfortable position for not listening to Rabbit, and from time to time he opened his eyes to say "Ah!" and then closed them again to say "True," and from time to time Rabbit said, "You see what I mean, Piglet " very earnestly, and Piglet nodded earnestly to show that he did. "In fact," said Rabbit, coming to the end of it at last, "Tigger's getting so Bouncy nowadays that it's time we taught him a lesson. Don't you think so, Piglet?" Piglet said that Tigger was very Bouncy, and that if they could think of a way of unbouncing him, it would be a Very Good Idea. "Just what I feel," said Rabbit. "What do you say, Pooh?" Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk and said, "Extremely." "Extremely what?" asked Rabbit. "What you were saying," said Pooh. "Undoubtably." Piglet gave Pooh a stiffening sort of nudge, and Pooh, who felt more and more that he was somewhere else, got up slowly and began to look for himself. "But how shall we do it?" asked Piglet. "What sort of a lesson, Rabbit?" "That's the point," said Rabbit. The word "lesson" came back to Pooh as one he had heard before somewhere. "There's a thing called Twy-stymes," he said. "Christopher Robin tried to teach it to me once, but it didn't." "What didn't?" said Rabbit. "Didn't what?" said Piglet. Pooh shook his head. "I don't know," he said. "It just didn't. What are we talking about?" From Milne, A. A., & Shepard, E. H. (1979). The House at Pooh Corner. London: Methuen Children's Books .

“A Return to the Hundred Acre Wood” (website) Matthew 11:16-19 & 25-30 Rev. Karin Kilpatric Jun 29, 2014, First United Church of Arvada When we listen to the tales of Winnie-the-Pooh, by A.A. Milne we are invited to enter a different world –a world, which has brought hope and happiness to so many people, young and old, for over 80 years. We are permitted to pause in our busy adult lives and romp through the forest or play a quick game of pooh- sticks. We can float among the clouds holding onto a bright balloon. We can join a parade on an expotition to the North Pole, or just stop in at Owl’s tree house for milk and a bit of honey. In the 100 Acre Wood, we can share some time with Christopher Robin as he plays among his friends Pooh and Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger, Kanga and Roo, Rabbit and Owl. These woodland creatures, who innocently and honestly live out who they are, offer us the possibility to honestly look at who we are in our most simple un-adulterated selves. In the 100 Acre Wood we can, for a time, which becomes a time out of time, whine with Eeyore, pontificate with Owl, bounce with Tigger, organize with Rabbit, sing dreamily with Pooh, and skip along with tiny Piglet. The 100 Acre Wood is a place where even the very grown up ones among us can return to childhood’s rhythms and dreams. These inhabitants of the 100 Acre Wood teach us about ourselves and about each other and if we believe the words of scripture, “Truly, I tell you unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven,” we might find a depth of faith that has previously escaped us.

Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh
The 6 types of ADD according to Dr. Amen Tiggers Like to Bounce... Bouncin' is What Tiggers Do Best! We call this type of ADHD "Tigger Type." Classic ADHD is characterized by Inattention, Impulsivity, Hyperactivity, Restlessness, and Disorganization. This type of ADHD reminds us of Tigger from the Winnie the Pooh stories. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this type of ADHD as "Classic ADHD" for good reasons. When you think about someone who has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, this is the classic picture that you think of. Those with this type of ADHD are often seen as: • Being easily distracted • Has a LOT of energy, and is perhaps Hyperactive • Can't sit still very long • Is figety Talks a LOT, and can be LOUD • Is very impulsive, does not think before he acts • Has trouble waiting his turn in line, or in games and more... Tigger Type ADHD results from UNDERACTIVITY in the Prefrontal Cortex, both when at rest, and when performing concentration tasks. This type of ADHD is most often seen in males. Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh is the classic picture of Inattentive ADHD. In other works we have called this "Space Cadet" style ADHD. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this as "Inattentive ADD". These are people that suffer from "brain fog" as they go through their day. Although Pooh is very lovable and kind, he is also inattentive, sluggish, slow-moving, unmotivated. He is a classic daydreamer. People with this type of ADHD are often seen as being: • Easily distracted • Having short attention spans to a task that is not interesting, or is hard • Daydreams when others are talking to him/her • A person who cannot find anything that they have just put down somewhere..

A. Milne wrote two books about a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The former was called simply Winnie- the-Pooh (WP) and was published in 1926, and the second, The House at Pooh Corner (HPC), was published in 1928. The books contain a collection of stories that the author used to tell to his son before he went to bed in the evening and they came to be counted among the most widely known children‟s stories in literary history. Many consider the books about Winnie-the-Pooh some of the greatest literary works ever written for children. They have been lined up and compared with such classic masterpieces as Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Graham. How Milne uses poetry and prose together in his stories has earned him a place next to some of the great poets, such as E. Nesbit, Walter de la Mare and Robert Louis Stevenson (Greene). In my view, the author‟s basic purpose with writing the books was to make children, his son in particular, happy, and to give them a chance to enter an “enchanted place” (HPC 508). The books were not written to be a means of education or to be the source of constant in-depth analysis of over-zealous critics.

Winter, MD, MMM, JFK Family Medicine Residency Program Abstract Resident physicians are particularly susceptible to burnout due to the stresses of residency training. They also experience the added pressures of multitasking because of the increased use of computers and mobile devices while delivering patient care. Our Family Medicine residency program addresses these problems by teaching residents about the mindful practice of medicine. We utilize A. A. Milne’s classic children’s books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, along with Benjamin Hoff’s The Tao of Pooh to explain Dr. Ron Epstein’s four habits of mindfulness: attentive observation, critical curiosity, beginner’s mind, and presence. We also use video clips from two Disney movies, The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh and A Day for Eeyore as well as Kenny Loggins’ song, House at Pooh Corner. With Winnie-the-Pooh’s help, residents learn how to become more mindful physicians by incorporating Epstein’s four habits of mindfulness into their daily practice.

Milne and Winnie the Pooh Alan Alexander Milne (1882 – 1956) began his writing career after graduating from Cambridge University. After serving in World War I, he worked for many years as the assistant editor of the British humour magazine Punch. A successful playwright, his plays were produced in London and New York. In 1920, his wife Daphne gave birth to a son, Christopher Robin Milne. A.A. Milne’s career as a children’s author began with the publication of a collection of verses entitled When We Were Very Young, illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Christopher Robin’s favourite toy was an 18 inch-high stuffed bear purchased at Harrod’s Department store for his first birthday. Named “Edward Bear” at first, the bear was renamed “Winnie” after a black bear in the London Zoo. As a young child, Christopher Robin had quite a friendship with the bear, and visited regularly to play games and give Winnie a special treat: condensed milk.

The History of Winnie-The-Pooh Who Is Winnie-The-Pooh? Winnie-The-Pooh Is a Well-Loved Teddy Bear That Was Created by the Author Alan Alexander Milne – Or A
The History of Winnie-the-Pooh Who is Winnie-the-Pooh? Winnie-the-Pooh is a well-loved teddy bear that was created by the author Alan Alexander Milne – or A. A. Milne as he is known. A. A. Milne wrote the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends for his son, Christopher Robin, after he heard Christopher inventing voices for his toys. A. A. Milne named the boy in the book Christopher Robin too! Ernest H Shepard did the beautiful illustrations for all the storybooks. In the Beginning At first, the teddy bear that Christopher had was called Edward Bear. However, during a trip to London Zoo, A. A. Milne and his family met a Canadian black bear called ‘Winnie’, who they were allowed to feed. The bear had a sweet tooth and liked condensed milk more than meat! Christopher Milne loved the bear and so Edward bear became Winnie bear. The ‘Pooh’ part of the name was then also added on – it came from a swan called ‘Pooh’ that Milne had met on holiday!

Winnie the Pooh Study Guide
PLAZA THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS Winnie the Pooh Study Guide Dear Teacher: We have created the following study guide to help make your students’ theater experience with Winnie the Pooh as meaningful as possible. For many, it will be their first time viewing a live theatrical production. We have learned that when teachers discuss the play with their students before and after the production, the experience is more significant and long-lasting. Our study guide provides pre- and post-performance discussion topics, as well as related activity sheets. These are just suggestions. Please feel free to create your own activities and areas for discussion. We hope you and your class enjoy the show! Background In 1926, A.A. Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin Milne. On his first birthday, Christopher received a stuffed toy he called Edward, and who was later re-named Winnie (after a black bear at the London zoo), and Pooh (after a swan, as mentioned in a poem in Milne’s When We Were Very Young.) Other characters in the story were based on Christopher’s other stuffed animals, including the donkey Eeyore, Kanga and Baby Roo, and Piglet. Owl and Rabbit were inspired by animals who lived in the forest nearby. Illustrator Ernest H. Shepard based the look of his drawings on Christopher Robin Milne and his toys. The original stuffed animals are currently on display at New York City’s Donnell Public Library. Pre-Performance Discussion 1. Read A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh with your students. Much of the dialogue (and many of the songs’ lyrics) come directly from Milne’s writing, and children will enjoy hearing the familiar words and turns of phrase.

AA Milne the Period Of
A.A. Milne The period of the “turn of the century”, the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th- was a period of considerable development in children’s literature. Alan Alexander Milne is one of the most famous turn-of-the century names. Although he was a prolific writer in different genres −humorous essays in Punch, plays, and one detective novel− he is remembered mostly for his children’s stories and poems, of which he wrote four: two linked sets of stories, his best-selling Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928), and two collections of poetry, When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We are Six (1927). After his books for children were published, his work for adults was ignored, which distressed him greatly. The House at Pooh Corner was Milne’s last children’s book, although he adapted Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows as a play for children, Toad of Toad Hall in 1929. Milne’s books for children developed from his role as a father of his son Christopher Robin, born in 1920, and from Christopher’s devotion to his teddy bear. The characters of Pooh and his companions (except for Owl and Rabbit, which were of Milne’s own invention) developed from Christopher’s stuffed nursery toys and he wrote the Pooh stories for him. The narrator in each story is Milne himself, and the story is not directed at the reader but at Christopher Robin, with whom the young reader has to identify.
