Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minette is a mouse in The Royal Courts of Justice whose forebears remember seeing Charles Dickens in the nineteenth century attending at Court One. Minette watches, sees, hears and relates all that goes on in the family courts, with the awful tragedies of people's lives and issues, especially affecting children. Minette is downcast by the accumulation of people's problems often caused by themselves and indeed with the behaviours of some of Her Majesty's Judges, but she has camaraderie with the other mice in the Royal Courts of Justice, as well as the mice at the Old Bailey and the mice of the Supreme Court, where they especially gather for receptions with many leftovers scattered on the carpets, taking, as they do, the number 19 bus along The Strand. But not all is sad, for Minette knows that some of Her Majesty's Judges are, nevertheless, aware and kindly regarding the very serious responsibilities that they own.

Download or read book Childrens Voice in Family Therapy written by Carole Gammer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As participants in family therapy, children have unique and specific needs, and they present distinct challenges for the family therapist. All too often, children are inadvertently relegated to a secondary role because, given their inability to verbally express themselves, their opinions are not heard as clearly as those of other family members. In attempting to remedy this situation, therapists may simply transpose child therapy techniques into the family therapy. However, this is an inadequate solution, as those techniques have not been developed for use in a family context. Rather, an innovative, systemic approach is needed, as Carole Gammer persuasively argues in The Child's Voice in Family Therapy." "Emphasizing a range of practical interventions, Gammer offers the clinician an array of methods for recognizing the needs of children taking part in family therapy, and for helping children gain the most benefit from the therapeutic experience. Individual chapters are devoted to useful techniques and tools, including dramatization, therapist-generated metaphors, art therapy, video-supported intervention, and play therapy. Clinical case studies appear throughout the book, so that every technique is clearly conveyed through numerous examples of actual families in therapy."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Children as Citizens written by Pauline Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how consultations with young children could signal a change of thinking about how children might influence policy and shape the development of a child-friendly state. While the consultations in this study were germane to political decisions, they took place as multi-modal dialogue with children in their educational settings. Framed by Australia’s national early years learning framework which focuses on children’s belonging and identity, the consultations saw unique partnerships formed among children, educators, families and policy officers, providing ways in which children’s voices may be engaged in educational spaces throughout the world. Using a qualitative case study approach, these consultations were documented through observations, interviews, artefact collection and document analyses, allowing the authors to construct a framework for engaging children as citizens that is transferable to a variety of settings. Chapters provide: • an insight into the various aspects involved in children’s consultations from conceptualizing and planning consultations with young children, to implementation and documentation, through to the uptake and consequence of children’s messages; • factors that contribute to the effectiveness of consultations, challenges that arise, and areas for improvement when engaging with children’s voices; • implications for children’s participation as valued citizens and a framework for considering young children’s voices in decision-making processes. This book offers fresh ideas for working with young children in the decision making process and will appeal to early childhood researchers, educators, policymakers and practitioners across various sectors, agencies and disciplines.

Download or read book Listen How Child and Student Voice Can Change the World written by Siobhán Keenan Fitzgerald and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) articulates every child’s right to have their voice heard in matters that affect them. Yet acceptance of this right is sometimes slow and there are barriers to effective implementation. This vitally important book aims to accelerate acceptance of this right by bridging the gap between theory and practice, empowering adults to act as advocates and facilitators of children using their voices within our homes, schools, and wider communities. Divided into thirteen chapters, Listen invites readers to connect the concept of ‘child and student voice’ meaningfully with the development of all children’s physical voices and modes of communication. Topics explored include, but are not limited to: Current research on student voice, including an examination of public speaking within primary schools Advocating for a school-wide focus on supporting student voice Best practice and pedagogical approaches to facilitating public speaking in the classroom The benefits and drawbacks of debate, including how to use it appropriately and assessing when to employ other techniques Creating a supportive learning environment where students may overcome their anxieties about public speaking. An essential read for parents, teachers, teaching assistants and senior leaders, Listen proposes a pedagogical approach to supporting student voice that is backed by current research yet firmly rooted in practical application.

Download or read book Voiceless Child written by Ann Widick Giganti and published by Ann Widick Giganti. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True story! "I spoke soothing words and touched her pale fingers. The silent weeping stopped." The baby's chest heaved as she struggled to breathe. Airway scarring rendered spoken language impossible. Heather wasn't my child, but her distress tattered my heart. Fourteen months old, the little one lay swaddled in a blanket, forgotten and lost amongst unchanging hospital routines. “Just be glad she’s only abandoned, not abused.” The words on the other end of the phone line stung. I wrestled with anger, but instinct quieted any sharp response. A chance meeting turned tragedy to miracle. I wrote the book about our search to give the voiceless child a family, to find a surgeon who could reconstruct her airway. Otherwise she would never speak, never swim. When I met her, she'd never been outside, never seen the sun, never seen the moon. She could not even move a finger. She'd always lived in a hospital on a breathing machine, fed by a tube in her tummy. No one dared dreamed she might survive and have a family of her own. Might we adopt her? Were the damning prophecies true? Sometimes dreams come true, more fantastic than envisioned. There is a newer subspecialty, pediatric otolaryngology. These ear, nose, and throat surgeons can restore voice and hearing. READ THE BOOK. WRITE A REVIEW. TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Enjoy the adventure of healing Heather and discover the miracle surgery that restores her voice. "This is a true story of hope, unconditional love, faith, as well as an exceptional family who would not take "No" for an answer. Ann writes beautifully with vision and descriptions that take you bedside with Heather, on family outings to the river, or just inside her home filled with laughter, scary moments with how fragile Heather was, the exhausting routine of life at that time, and finally the miracle of seeing Heather grow up." Kathy, Reader *** Diana Forrest. I'm reading this book now, can hardly put it down. Thanks be to God to her awesome Adopted family and to so many great Doctors and nurses. Heather is a living beautiful Miracle and a precious gift from God. Dec. 25, 2017 Janet Kortright rated it amazing. I could NOT put this book down. I read it in one night. Start to finish. I felt like I was part of the journey, the family. I will read this again and recommend it to others. A feel good story that shows they're are good people in the world. To advocate for children. To stand your ground to get the care needed for your children. Lynn, January 3, 2018 Voiceless Child is an amazing true story on the trials and tribulations in adopting a special medical needs child. A must read for all especially those who can relate to caring for and having a premature baby like me and my husband. Such a double blessing: For Heather - to be adopted by a loving family and getting a voice. For the family - the experience of adopting and providing medical needs for Heather that takes them on extraordinary life experiences of faith, hope, perseverance, joy, and love. Thanks Ann for sharing your true life experience! *** Heather’s story is heartwrenching, captivating, frustrating. I was impelled to read on to discover who would help or hinder her recovery. What I learned applauds the magical minds and hands of innovative surgeons. The inspiring story of perseverance is relevant to anyone who is facing a challenging obstacle. --Dar Walks Out, Lakota Sioux, Pine Ridge, South Dakota Voiceless Child is a thoughtful exploration of the grace and imperfections inherent in medical care systems and individual providers. Heather epitomizes the motivation for devising surgical procedures that eliminate a parent’s constant worry of death associated with airway disorders. -- Dr. Robin Cotton, director of pediatric otolaryngology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Before the events evolved to the point whose impact could only be conveyed through a book, I published it as an article, “The Child No One Wanted” in Woman’s Day. “We’ve had a terrific reaction to it. Our readers really loved the story.” --Jane Chesnutt, then editor-in-chief of Woman’s Day.

Download or read book Participatory Methodologies to Elevate Children s Voice and Agency written by Ilene R. Berson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Research in Global Child Advocacy Series explores participatory methodologies and tools that involve children in research. Perspectives on the role of children have transitioned from viewing children as objects of research, to children as subjects of research, to acknowledgement of children as competent contributors and agents throughout the inquiry process. Researchers continue to explore approaches that honor the capacity of children, drawing on diverse methodologies to elevate children’s voices and actively engage them in the production of knowledge. Nonetheless, despite these developments, questions over the extent to which children can be free of adult filters and influence merits sustained scholarly attention. The book includes chapters that critically examine methodological approaches that empower children in the research process. Contributions include empirical or practitioner pieces that operate from an empowerment paradigm and demonstrate the agenic capacity of children to contribute their perspectives and voices to our understanding of childhood and children’s lives. The text also features conceptual pieces that challenge existing theoretical frameworks, critique research paradigms, and analyze dilemmas or tensions related to ethics, policy and power relations in the research process.
