Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEARN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR GIFTED CHILD Though academic abilities have always been important in determining whether your child is gifted, talent in the visual or performing arts, leadership qualities, and intellectual curiosity are just as vital. But unless we as parents help nurture those talents, our gifted children can become bored, socially aggressive, or, ironically, underachievers in the classroom. Here is a practical, informative, and authoritative primer for raising and educating our gifted children from pre-school to adolescence. Beginning with sensible strategies to determine whether—and in which areas—your child is gifted, this book takes parents through selecting an appropriate day-care center, a school, and a home reference library. It helps us figure out where our role stops and the school’s role begins, as well as detailing ways to keep our children’s creativity alive and how to cope with sibling rivalry and our own doubts and fears. Also included are a recommended reading list, a special section on the roles of the computer and television in your gifted child’s life, and much more.

Download or read book The Ultimate Toy Bag written by Jill R. Salatino and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All good parents desire the best for their children. They want their children to learn and grow to the best of their capabilities. However, not every child learns at the same rate or even in the same manner. Having worked with special needs children for more than two decades as a developmental therapist in the Illinois Early Intervention Program, I recognize that many parents are concerned about how to work with their children and what toys to provide in order to help their children meet their age-appropriate milestones. The Early Intervention Program is a state funded program that serves children with developmental disabilities and delays from birth to three years of age. The truth is that the market is flooded with toys for children. Unfortunately, some toys simply entertain children instead of educating them during these formidable years. With so many toys in the marketplace, it can be challenging to decide which ones are best to help your children reach their fullest potential during their first three years of life. As an educator and a therapist, my Ultimate Toy Bag is filled with products that I found to be the most beneficial for children from birth to three years. This book will help you create an Ultimate Toy Bag for your child's first three years of development. While it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list of the perfect toys, use this book as a guide to find the perfect tools to assist your child and increase their learning capabilities.
Download or read book Smart Parenting Smarter Kids written by David Walsh and published by Atria Books. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every week new discoveries about the brain make the news, often promising parents the latest “right” way to nurture their kids’ developing brains and behavior. And every day there’s a new technology that demands your child’s attention, a new game or toy that purports to make your kid smarter, and a new snack promising to be healthy as well as tasty. How’s a busy parent to make heads or tails of all these claims? You turn to Dr. David Walsh, an expert at translating the headline-making, cutting-edge findings into practical suggestions for parenting today. In his previous bestseller, Why Do They Act That Way?, Walsh showed how to manage the difficult teenage years by understanding how the adolescent brain develops. Now he’s written a complete guide to parenting from birth through the teen years, with recommendations that will help maximize any child’s potential. Smart Parenting, Smarter Kids doesn’t just describe new research findings or explain interesting brain facts. It equips parents with usable information across a range of topics, like exercise, nutrition, play, sleep, stress, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and connection. Some discoveries in neuroscience confirm age-old parental wisdom while others may prompt you to make immediate changes. Still other brain discoveries help explain behaviors that have puzzled parents forever, like why friendly, easygoing kids can become withdrawn and sullen dragons overnight when they enter adolescence, or why girls and boys tend to have such different classroom experiences. Filled with helpful quizzes and checklists for easy reference, Smart Parenting, Smarter Kids gives specific advice about how to make the best daycare, preschool, and schooling decisions for your kids; for example, how to deal with stressful events as a family, and how to manage your child’s internet and media use. And all these findings across different fields of research work together in reaching the same goal: When children are guided to eat, sleep, play, exercise, learn, and connect with others in healthy ways, their minds blossom and they are able to reach their full potential—academically, socially, physically, and emotionally. These real-life applications in Dr. Walsh’s new book put science into practice with a personal plan that explains how (and why) you can parent with the brain in mind.
