Download or read book The Child Code written by Danielle Dick, Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative, science-based approach to parenting centered on a child’s unique genetic “code,” from an award-winning developmental psychology professor and researcher. With few exceptions, parenting books, websites, and podcasts emphasize the critical role of the parent in shaping a child’s destiny. But the obsession with parenting ignores a fundamental biological fact: that genetics affect every aspect of human behavior, and every child is uniquely “coded” with predispositions that affect everything from fearfulness, to impulsivity, to happiness. In The Child Code, award-winning professor Dr. Danielle Dick draws from her research in developmental behavior genetics to debunk the myth that parenting techniques alone can determine a child’s behavior and future. Dr. Dick introduces readers to the 3 E’s that underlie each child’s unique predisposition—extraversion (Ex), emotionality (Em), and effortful control (Ef)—and shows that, in fact, the key to raising successful adults isn’t to try harder to mold them, but to adapt your parenting strategies to the way they are wired. This powerful and fresh approach not only diminishes friction and stress in families, but sets children up for true, authentic success in life. Each chapter unpacks the science behind this unique approach, and provides practical, individualized strategies for parents to support their child’s strengths and to help them navigate their challenges. Reassuring, with real takeaways, The Child Code offers parents an inspiring message: Their biggest job is to help their children become who they were literally born to be.

Download or read book Using Methods in the Field written by Victor C. de Munck and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 1998-08-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods textbooks generally offer prescriptive advice on how to perform certain techniques, how to develop specific strategies, how to analyze your results. But, as all experienced ethnographers know, this fine-sounding advice rarely provides ample guidance in dealing with real people in real field settings. That is where this casebook differs. Selecting many key methods regularly used by anthropologists — participant observation, consensus analysis, simple surveys, scaling, freelisting and triads, networks, decision modeling— the editors commissioned scholars who have completed studies using these techniques to describe them in the context of real field work. Using cases from health, community politics, family relations, and child development (among others) in settings as diverse as an Arkansas college campus, a Mexican barrio, a Thai village, and a Scottish business, the student is given a clear understanding of the diversity of methods used by anthropologists and the complexities surrounding their use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2015, a Black man named Lee Anderson, who was an assistant coach at Clemson University, approached me and told me that I needed to get to know Zion Williamson, his stepson, who was a high school sophomore. He said that Zion was a superstar in the making. #2 I helped Lee navigate the difficult waters of being a father and having no money. I took him to get food at a nearby BP Fast Fuel, and gave him $100 so he could put groceries on his family’s table. #3 I got to know Zion and his family well, and I liked them. They were very polite and reserved, but Zion had an infectious smile. He was attracting a lot of interest, and it seemed like he would be playing big-time college basketball regardless. #4 I wanted to introduce Zion to top AAU coach Ryan Faulkner and trainer Desmond Dez Eastman, who ran a top program in Georgia called Game Elite. They were genuine, and their clients were high-level players.
