Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a busy parent? Do you want to learn more about how to be intentional with your children, but just don't have hours upon hours to invest in reading a book? Then look no further! "Caught Not Taught" was written for you. Whether you are waiting in the carpool line, taking a bubble bath after a crazy day, or are curled up on the couch during a rain storm, "Caught Not Taught" is a book designed to be read in one 30 minute setting. This is for the busy parent who is looking for one key philosophy that they can implement in their parenting journey that truly can transform their relationship with their children. Parents today spend hours upon hours searching the internet for best practices and helpful tips to help them parent more effectively. Although I am a fan of helpful strategies, what if our most important lessons we will teach our children are not something we can learn from a blog or memorize at a seminar. What if the most important lessons our children will learn from us are not from listening to us, but from watching us? What if our life was an example of the type of person we want them to become? Hosting a parenting podcast (Parenting Tomorrow's Leaders) has put me in contact with parenting experts. Although I do not consider myself an expert parent, I began to see a pattern in all of my interviews that I could no longer ignore. This idea that parenting is caught more than taught. This book is my journey of learning this principle, the ways I observed this in practice with my own children, strategies that I implemented to be more intentional with the "Caught Not Taught" philosophy, and memories of how this idea was effective for my own parents throughout my childhood. "Caught Not Taught" is a powerful parenting philosophy that if utilized effectively has the power to transform your parenting journey. Will you be bold enough to not just read the words, but to truly take them to heart and allow this concept to transform your family? Let's change the world together, one child at a time!

Download or read book Taught Not Caught Educating for 21st Century Character written by Nicky Morgan and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Education Secretary from 2014-16, Nicky Morgan had a job she describes as "one of the best in the UK Cabinet". In her time in office, she announced a GBP3.5m programme to be spent promoting classes and extra-curricular activities that build "grit" and "resilience" in a generation of schoolchildren. Here, she reveals why she believes that building characterful children has a positive impact on academic attainment. In writing this book, she had the privilege of visiting some of the schools who won Department for Education character awards. Hearing their stories, looking at the work they've done to promote character education and identify the values they want to embed in their schools and seeing how positive they are about this area of their school life confirmed to her that focusing on character sits alongside gaining knowledge. In fact, the former helps the latter.The generosity of the schools enabled her to capture key examples and bring character education to life. Change in education doesn't happen by accident. It needs a deliberate push.Public awareness needs to be raised, government needs to make it clear to those in the education system that this is a priority and they will support it and, most importantly, the frontline namely schools, heads, teachers, governors and communities need to be enabled to create the conditions to allow systemic change to happen, to take hold and to grow. Education is the greatest investment we can make in the future of our country. And the greatest investment the education system can make in our pupils is to ensure they gain both knowledge and character.

Download or read book When You Wonder You re Learning written by Gregg Behr and published by Hachette GO. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing the lessons of Mister Rogers into the digital age Playful and practical, When You Wonder, You're Learning introduces a new generation of families to the lessons of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. By exploring the science behind the iconic television program, the book reveals what Fred Rogers called the "tools for learning": skills and mindsets that scientists now consider essential. These tools--curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and more--have been shown to boost everything from academic learning to children's well-being, and they benefit kids of every background and age. They cost next to nothing to develop, and they hinge on the very things that make life worthwhile: self-acceptance; close, loving relationships; and a deep regard for one's neighbor. When You Wonder, You're Learning shows parents and educators the many ways they might follow in Rogers' footsteps, sharing his "tools for learning" with digital-age kids. With insights from thinkers, scientists, and teachers--many of whom worked with Rogers himself--the book is an essential exploration into how kids and their parents can excel at what Rogers taught best: being human.

Download or read book Never Caught written by Erica Armstrong Dunbar and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling and eye-opening look into America’s First Family, Never Caught is the powerful story about a daring woman of “extraordinary grit” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). When George Washington was elected president, he reluctantly left behind his beloved Mount Vernon to serve in Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the nation’s capital. In setting up his household he brought along nine slaves, including Ona Judge. As the President grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn’t abide: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state. Rather than comply, Washington decided to circumvent the law. Every six months he sent the slaves back down south just as the clock was about to expire. Though Ona Judge lived a life of relative comfort, she was denied freedom. So, when the opportunity presented itself one clear and pleasant spring day in Philadelphia, Judge left everything she knew to escape to New England. Yet freedom would not come without its costs. At just twenty-two-years-old, Ona became the subject of an intense manhunt led by George Washington, who used his political and personal contacts to recapture his property. “A crisp and compulsively readable feat of research and storytelling” (USA TODAY), historian and National Book Award finalist Erica Armstrong Dunbar weaves a powerful tale and offers fascinating new scholarship on how one young woman risked everything to gain freedom from the famous founding father and most powerful man in the United States at the time.

From her childhood, to her time with the Washingtons and living in the slave quarters, to her escape to New Hampshire, Erica Armstrong Dunbar, along with Kathleen Van Cleve, shares an intimate glimpse into the life of a little-known, but powerful figure in history, and her brave journey as she fled the most powerful couple in the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.
