Download or read book Take Back Your Family written by Jefferson Bethke and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke delivers a powerful critique of the Western notion of the nuclear family and calls us to a sweeping new paradigm that brings not only longed-for stability but also radical blessings to the world. The West's multi-century experiment with the nuclear family has failed. Its toxic hyper-individualism has left us with an unprecedented number of broken homes and rampant confusion over what a family is supposed to be. Jefferson Bethke delivers the solution we've been seeking: a plan for taking back our families from the modern myth that has derailed us and a vision for returning to the life-giving, biblical model of multi-generational teams. In Take Back Your Family, Bethke uncovers the historic events that led to our obsession with the nuclear family, then exposes the devastating effects of our current "me culture." Now, writing from the visceral perspective of a father with three young children, he shares the values and strategies he and his family lean on in their quest to live as a community bonded by a shared mission, committed to mutually growing and thriving together. By returning to God's original design for families on earth, he says, we can participate in the kingdom work that restores and fulfills our innermost desires for connection, contentment, and meaning.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Download or read book Family Fun Nights Book written by Leslie Timm and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family time...we all know we need more of it, both family togetherness and time. Unfortunately, we cannot gather more time, it is something that is fixed and never changing. But what we can do is find time to have more fun with our families. It doesn't have to be an extravagant vacation or an everyday thing, but setting aside some time each week to solely spend with each other can make a drastic impact on the way your family interacts with each other. With this book, I have compiled 52 ideas for a once-a-week family fun night. That means there is something to do each week of the year. It usually works best if you choose a set day of the week to have this special day, but there is always room for flexibility. If your family would work best by choosing a different day each week based on that week's schedule, by all means, do that. The key is to get the family together once a week and have lots of fun. Side note...if a week is a bad one and your family just can't come together that week, don't worry about it. You want to have more time together without added stress. So you miss a week, just try again the following week. The way to use this book is to first figure out which day your family is going to do. Then look over that night of fun activities. P.S. You do not have to do said activities at night. For some families, mornings or afternoons might work best, go with the dynamic of your household. After looking over the plans for your family fun night, you need to decide which activities you want to implement. Nothing in this book is required, it's all just ideas and starting points for other things you might like to incorporate. Always modify, change, add to, take away anything you don't find fitting for your group. There may even be things listed that because of where you live or your resources you may not be able to do. Okay, next you want to be sure to gather the supplies needed or make the necessary arrangements to move forward with your family time. Last, have fun and really enjoy your time together. Now I have placed a circle on the left side of each activity. If you're like me and want to check things off as you plan them, or check them off as you do them the choice is yours. It is also your choice to not mark anything off at all. Remember you do not have to do each and every activity. You can implement just two and have a nice time together. You can even substitute any activity you choose with your own idea or something else you all would like to do. Be sure to implement a no-devices policy aside from it being something that is encouraged in the book or for taking photos. You'll certainly want to document some of these precious moments. Have a great time celebrating your family and cheers to spending more time together!
