Download or read book Grandma s Helper written by Helena Hayes Thomas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was inspired by my grandson, Michael Thomas, Jr., to write "Grandma's Helper". I didn't realize that over the years I had forgotten so much. As I spent treasured moments caring for my grandchild, I would jot down little reminders as to what to do next in the course of the day of grandparenting. Then it occurred to me to compile the notes into a book to help other grandmas, grandpas, moms, and dads. Introducing a child to the world around him provides opportunity to bring out the physical as well as the spiritual side of his development. Early training and guidance of small children provide valuable lessons for grandparents. The main ingredients that we must possess are tender loving care and a reverence for God and His Word as we train our children in the way they should go. It is the purpose of this book to teach the fulfillment of that commission.

Download or read book Parent Guide Parent Guide Handling and Preventing Conflicts written by Robert Myers, PhD and published by Center for Child Development & Positive Parenting. This book was released on 2024-04-13 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting is both rewarding and challenging. All first-time parents are only partially prepared to embrace the joys and struggles of parenting. Also, each child, no matter where they are in the birth order in a family, is a unique being, requiring parents to adapt their parenting style to meet the needs and navigate the challenges of each child. The book's information and suggestions are based on the latest research and best practice recommendations in child development and clinical child and adolescent psychology. They also come from the author's experience as a child, adolescent, father, grandfather, clinical child and adolescent psychologist, and educator for child psychology doctoral students and child psychiatry fellows. The first three chapters cover what to expect in each stage of normal development, which provides perspective on what to expect as a child moves from toddler to high schooler. Knowing what to expect provides guidelines for providing appropriate nurturing and structure for each stage of development. Human behavior is all about the brain. Once parents understand the basics of neurodevelopment, they can encourage and support the healthy development of critical executive functions that enable children to learn, adapt to change, interact appropriately with others, and navigate the challenges and disappointments in life. Also, continuously focusing on building and growing connectedness and supporting a healthy lifestyle for all family members substantially contributes to each member's general well-being and for the family unit's good. Chapters four through eight help parents and children develop skills for mutually beneficial interaction. These skills will allow you to avoid and work through conflicts when necessary. Chapters nine through eleven provide how-to guides for handling common parent-child conflict scenarios. Each chapter provides examples and easy-to-follow steps to implement the suggestions for each stage of development: toddler, preschool, school-age, middle school, and high school. The appendix provides guidance on when to seek professional help, links to valuable resources, and directions and charts for implementing evidence-based solutions for parent-child and family problems and promoting positive relationships.

Download or read book The Good Child written by Jing Xu and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese academic traditions take zuo ren—self-fulfillment in terms of moral cultivation—as the ultimate goal of education. To many in contemporary China, however, the nation seems gripped by moral decay, the result of rapid and profound social change over the course of the twentieth century. Placing Chinese children, alternately seen as China's greatest hope and derided as self-centered "little emperors," at the center of her analysis, Jing Xu investigates the effects of these transformations on the moral development of the nation's youngest generation. The Good Child examines preschool-aged children in Shanghai, tracing how Chinese socialization beliefs and methods influence their construction of a moral world. Delving into the growing pains of an increasingly competitive and changing educational environment, Xu documents the confusion, struggles, and anxieties of today's parents, educators, and grandparents, as well as the striking creativity of their children in shaping their own moral practices. Her innovative blend of anthropology and psychology reveals the interplay of their dialogues and debates, illuminating how young children's nascent moral dispositions are selected, expressed or repressed, and modulated in daily experiences.
Download or read book Becoming Grandma written by Lesley Stahl and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country’s most recognizable journalists, Lesley Stahl of CBS's 60 Minutes: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman’s life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl’s most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or researching stories at 60 Minutes. It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to “investigate” it—as though it were a news flash. And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. Along with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur in women when they have grandchildren; anthropologists about why there are grandmothers, in evolutionary terms; and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of grandchildren on both grandmothers and grandfathers. Throughout Becoming Grandma, Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.
