Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a trip back to the nostalgic fifties, when you could go to the movies for 25 cents and see a double feature. An innocent time when all we had to worry about was being home for five o'clock because supper was on the table. A time when T.V. was clean yet still funny. A time when girls were the only ones with ponytails, when every street corner had a little mom and pop store and your parents gave you a note to buy cigarettes for them. A time when our sports heroes had names like Rocky, Mickey, Willie and The Duke. A time when the New York Yankees and the Boston Celtics seemed to win every year. This is a look back at a simpler time. A time when mothers were home and dads went to work. A time that has long since passed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So Sarah?" the teacher asked, in a question I had rehearsed with her, "what's it like to have a blind mom?""Well," my little girl said, in an unrehearsed answer, "it's like a regular mom, except Daddy won't let her drive his car."With that nonchalant reply in front of her second grade class, Sarah summed up the way my blindness has fit into the fabric of our family. It isn't a problem; it isn't even a novelty; it's just part of how we roll. My blindness has changed a few practical logistics. But in the end, kids are kids and moms are moms, and the dents and delights of parenthood are universal. As I told my daughter when she was very small, putting an only slightly different spin on the words my mom had said to me thirty years before, "The eyes in my face are broken, but the ones in the back of my head work just fine.""Daddy Won't Let Mom Drive the Car: True Tales of Parenting in the Dark" is a book of short vignettes-most of them lighthearted, a few more serious-about my life as the blind mother of a sighted daughter. Welcome to my journey!

Download or read book Moral Classrooms Moral Children written by Rheta DeVries and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic bestseller, now updated for today's diverse teaching force and student populations, explores the benefits of sociomoral practices in the classroom. The authors draw on recent research to show how these approaches work with children ages 2–8. They focus on how to establish and maintain a classroom environment that fosters children's intellectual, social, moral, emotional, and personality development. Extending the work of Jean Piaget, the authors advocate for a cooperative approach that contrasts with the coercion and unnecessary control that can be seen in many classrooms serving young children. Practical chapters demonstrate how the constructivist approach can be embedded in a school program by focusing on specific classroom situations and activities, such as resolving conflict, group time, rule making, decision making and voting, social and moral discussions, cooperative alternatives to discipline, and activity time.

Book excerpt: A powerful look at the importance of a mother’s presence in the first years of life **Featured in The Wall Street Journal, and seen on Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, and CBS New York** In this important and empowering book, veteran psychoanalyst Erica Komisar explains why a mother's emotional and physical presence in her child's life--especially during the first three years--gives the child a greater chance of growing up emotionally healthy, happy, secure, and resilient. In other words, when it comes to connecting with your baby or toddler, more is more. Compassionate and balanced, and focusing on the emotional health of children and moms alike, this book shows parents how to give their little ones the best chance for developing into healthy and loving adults. Based on more than two decades of clinical work, established psychoanalytic theory, and the most cutting-edge neurobiological research on caregiving, attachment, and brain development, Being There explains: • How to establish emotional connection with a newborn or young child--regardless of whether you're able to work part-time or stay home • How to ease transitions to minimize stress for your baby or toddler • How to select and train quality childcare • What's true and false about widely held beliefs like "I'm not good with babies" and “I’ll make up for it when he’s older” • How to recognize and combat feelings of postpartum depression or boredom • Why three months of maternity leave is not long enough--and how parents can take control of their choices to provide for their family's emotional needs in the first three years Being a new mom isn’t easy. But with support, emotional awareness, and coping skills, it can be the most magical—and essential—work we’ll ever do.
