This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book excerpt: For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey, founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and mother of two young children advises readers on all practical aspects of ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.
Download or read book Parental Responsibility in the Context of Neuroscience and Genetics written by Kristien Hens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should parents aim to make their children as normal as possible to increase their chances to “fit in”? Are neurological and mental health conditions a part of children’s identity and if so, should parents aim to remove or treat these? Should they aim to instill self-control in their children? Should prospective parents take steps to insure that, of all the children they could have, they choose the ones with the best likely start in life? This volume explores all of these questions and more. Against the background of recent findings and expected advances in neuroscience and genetics, the extent and limits of parental responsibility are increasingly unclear. Awareness of the effects of parental choices on children’s wellbeing, as well as evolving norms about the moral status of children, have further increased expectations from (prospective) parents to take up and act on their changing responsibilities. The contributors discuss conceptual issues such as the meaning and sources of moral responsibility, normality, treatment, and identity. They also explore more practical issues such as how responsibility for children is practiced in Yoruba culture in Nigeria or how parents and health professionals in Belgium perceive the dilemmas generated by prenatal diagnosis.
Download or read book Conscious Parenting written by Robert A. Saul and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anybody who cares about the people who will shape our future should read this book!" --A. Scott Henderson, PhD, Professor of Education, Furman University Parenting in today's society is complex. Dr. Saul knows that parenting requires instruction and constant tinkering as we learn what we did right and what we need to improve. Conscious Parenting: Using the Parental Awareness Threshold provides a basic framework, a map, for such a process. Using real-life vignettes from infancy through adolescence that are drawn from a lifetime of work with children and parents, Dr. Saul seeks to give parents the learned ability to understand their interactions with their children and to change their responses to maximize positive results and minimize negative results. Parents will find numerous examples and suggestions on ways to enhance those opportunities at all ages. Brief and right to the point, Conscious Parenting: Using the Parental Awareness Threshold can be referred to again and again, day in and day out.
Download or read book Parenting With Awareness written by Marcie Schwartz and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting with Awareness blends old age wisdoms, new age concepts and current child development research to create a unique approach to parenting which honors the integrity of childhood. In today's competitive society parents have bought into the myth that they are solely responsible for molding their child's intelligence, talents and ultimate success creating enormous pressure to be the perfect parent. Our good intentions and expectations for our children to be better than average result in over-programmed, over-stressed families. Children are crying out for us to do better. They are showing us numerous signs that currently our way of raising children is not working. Less play, more structured activities and parental pressure to excel are creating children who are obese, exhibiting signs of stress, depression and anxiety in unprecedented numbers. We are all suffering. Often the opportunity to enjoy parenthood has dwindled down to a fleeting moment in an overloaded schedule. Marcie draws upon experts, sages and experience inviting parents to embark on a process of self-discovery to uncover their innermost passions, values, dreams and expectations for their children. It takes honest, secure parents who are at peace with themselves, free of ego demands, to be able to unconditionally love a child into adulthood. Whether you are a new parent just embarking on your parenting journey or a seasoned parent, these ideas will present a new way to explore life and approach parenting that will create children who are self-empowered, self-disciplined and self-motivated. Parenting from these principles will encourage and permit children to live in their own pace, driven by their own passions and dreams, while not trying to fit a patterned mold of conformity. Brain research has proven that children learn through experimentation. This book offers playful ways to teach children to embrace life with all of its wonder and potential through hands-on creative, fun activities designed for ages five and above. These inspiring projects coincide with guided conversations that will teach children self-awareness and self-reliance. They will also offer opportunities to develop the essential qualities of trust; intuition, passion, gratitude, confidence, compassion, courage, morality and patience as they strive to become successful, compassionate human beings. Children are born with open minds and hearts. They are eager to learn all that we have to teach. If we allow them to explore new ideas and assimilate the ones they resonate to, they will become empowered to create their own destiny. They will begin to appreciate their own uniqueness and value that in others. They will see the similarities in the human spirit and build respect for each other's differences. This is founded in the hope of creating the understanding that we are all in search of the same things on this journey called life - unconditional love, happiness and peace.

Download or read book Confident Parents Confident Kids written by Jennifer S. Miller and published by Fair Winds Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

Download or read book The Parallel Process written by Krissy Pozatek and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many parents of troubled teenagers, a therapeutic program that takes the child from the home for a period of time offers some respite from the daily tumult of acting out, lies, and tension that has left the family under siege. However, just as the teenager is embarking on a journey of self-discovery, skill-development, and emotional maturation, so parents too need to use this time to recognize that their own patterns may have contributed to their family's downward spiral. This is The Parallel Process. Using case studies garnered from her many years as an adolescent and family therapist, Krissy Pozatek shows parents of pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults how they can help their children by attuning to emotions, setting limits, not rushing to their rescue, and allowing them to take responsibility for their actions, while recognizing their own patterns of emotional withdrawal, workaholism, and of surrendering their lives and personalities to parenting. The Parallel Process is an essential primer for all parents, whether of troubled teens or not, who are seeking to help the family stay and grow together as they negotiate the potentially difficult teenage years.
