It is styled more as a guide and manual to share knowledge, inspire, bring hope and understanding, provide answers, and to provoke thought. Reality101Book.com. Excerpt from Forward by Dana McKnight Flentroy, M.S.W. and Educational Consultant. I encourage not only every parent and teenager to have this life skills manual available as a reference but that any person of any age will find it full of indispensable information that can enhance the quality of your life and True Self. I found that after reading this manual on life skills that it would have been very beneficial to have as a resource when I was younger but that it provided me with valuable and useful information in my life currently. This life skills manual has allowed me to look at occurrences that I have had through out my life and I am currently experiencing with a new set of lens. In Reality 101, Kim Gayner not only covers the basics of going out into the world as a young adult, such as housing, finances, laundry, job searching and birth control but she covers the not so much discussed topics such as attitude, communication, compassion, death and grieving to chocolate. One of the many aspects that I found refreshing and valuable in reading this life survival guide is that Kim takes the risk of expressing views that aren t always politically correct but are many times the reality of life. This book provides the basics and not so basics of life skills for survival. Areas that aren t openly talked about but many have thought or experienced are covered in this A to Z guide on reality living. As a youth advocate, I mentor, teach, and life coach such aforementioned topics as well as do crisis counseling. As a single mom I have been a foster parent, and sheltered homeless youth as our community lacks such a facility or accommodations. In these situations I offer support, advocate for and nurture children, youth, and young adults. The intention of this book is to get the information out there to help youth, young adults, and whomever, and with the proceeds I intend to fund projects to benefit them including open a youth center and youth shelter, and bring awareness of such atrocities as child-trafficking, to name a few. As I see it a perfect circle, and a win-win. So, buy the book, give it as a gift to someone you care about, ask your library to carry it for those who can t buy it, spread the word, and know that it isn t just about buying a book but helping create a circle of hope, love, and compassion. Do-Good Now and enjoy. This title is available in Trade Cloth with Jacket (Hardcover), Case Laminate (Hardcover Text style), and Perfect Bound (Paperback/Softcover). Please visit our website: Reality101Book.com. Thank you, Kim Gayner

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Book excerpt: The fun and simple problem-solving guide that took Japan by storm Ken Watanabe originally wrote Problem Solving 101 for Japanese schoolchildren.

He was amazed to discover that adults were hungry for his fun and easy guide to problem solving and decision making.
