Download or read book Freeplay written by Jordan Shapiro and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are the kids who grew up playing Space Invaders, Frogger, Q-bert, and Super Mario Brothers. Now, as adults, we're respectable contributors to a civilized society: professionals, parents, leaders, and policy makers. Still, the imagery of the games we played as children remains permanently seared into our personal and collective unconscious. The game world now shapes the way we think. It forms the way we perceive and interact with the world around us. The common view is that video games are an escape from the real world. But in FREEPLAY, author Jordan Shapiro shows us how the video games of our past (and present) function as interactive mythology. They are non-linear stories that help us derive meaning from the complicated paradoxes of everyday life. FREEPLAY is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for a new generation: part philosophy, part psychology, part spirituality, but ALL video games. Shapiro deftly blends Jungian and archetypal psychology in a way that is accessible and applicable to everyone. FREEPLAY is philosophy for the life world accessed through the user interface of the game world. Game on.

Book excerpt: When Alice Ozma was in 4th grade, she and her father decided to see if he could read aloud to her for 100 consecutive nights. On the hundreth night, they shared pancakes to celebrate, but it soon became evident that neither wanted to let go of their storytelling ritual. So they decided to continue what they called "The Streak." Alice's father read aloud to her every night without fail until the day she left for college. Alice approaches her book as a series of vignettes about her relationship with her father and the life lessons learned from the books he read to her. Books included in the Streak were: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, and Shakespeare's plays.

Download or read book Speed Reading for Parents and Children written by Silviu Vasile and published by Silviu Vasile. This book was released on with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for you and your child. Your child is brilliant. He has a chance to thrive and live in a wonderful world of opportunity. Watch your child as he sleeps, how peaceful and how beautiful he is. All your hopes are tied to his future and the choices he will be able to make. If he learns to look for value and to relate constantly to things of certain value then his life will be successful. Parents pass on their genes to their children, and according to these genes, children will have a series of physical, mental or mental attributes. More than just genetic endowment, parents pass on family values and create character. Every single thing that parents consider insignificant can have a significant impact on the child's personality and future. Speed reading is a value that many parents have chosen to pass on to their children. When your child has speed reading with him, he will be able to look for and find solutions to all the problems and challenges he will face. We live in a changing world and those who choose to stay informed are the ones who succeed in achieving their goals. The information we have access to is increasingly devoid of content and substance. Quality information is becoming a necessity because without access to the best information you will not be able to find the best solution for you and your child. Speed reading has proven its value and usefulness over time. If the technique of speed-reading is easy to learn when it comes to the motivation to practice daily exercises everything becomes more complicated. This book contains 100 reasons why you and your child should practise speed reading exercises, as well as 17 simple, easy-to-follow techniques. The best time to make a change in your and your child's life is now. Speed reading is a boon for those who practice it seriously. For your child, being able to achieve the performance of reading one or even two books a day, understanding what they read, and memorizing much of the content of the text can be the winning advantage. You, as a parent, can be sure that by guiding your child to speed reading you are giving them the chance to shine and use the brilliant potential they were born with. You have the chance to give your child a good start in life by teaching them to navigate the information channel. More and more parents are making speed reading a priority. They understand how important this skill is in the coming years and that without it children will have a hard time adjusting. Your child has enormous potential and you need to help them, by teaching them speed reading, to increase their value to the point where they can produce additional value. That will be the time when your child begins to distance himself from those who only consume value. It's the time when your child can shine.

Download or read book Parents Jobs and Children s Lives written by Toby Lee Parcel and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents' Jobs and Children's Lives considers the effects of parental working conditions on children's cognition and social development. It also investigates how parental work affects the home environments that parents create for their children, and how these home environments influence the children directly. The theoretical underpinnings of the book draw from both sociology and economics; in addition, the authors make use of literature derived from developmental psychology. Theoretically eclectic, they rely on the personality and social structure framework developed by Melvin Kohn and his colleagues, on arguments regarding the importance of family social capital developed by James Coleman, as well as on ideas from Gary Becker's "new home economics" as guides to model specification. The empirical basis for Parcel and Menaghan's study is a series of multivariate analyses using data drawn from the 1986 and 1988 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey's Child-Mother data set. This data set matches longitudinal data on mothers, derived from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, with data on the children of these mothers born as of 1986. Children aged 3 to 6 were given age-appropriate developmental assessments every two years in order to assess the influence of parental work on short-term changes in their cognition and social behavior. The authors also devote considerable attention to the effects of fathers' work and family structure on the well-being of their children. Parcel and Menaghan's work brings evidence to bear on both the theoretical perspectives guiding the analyses and on current policy debates regarding the nexus of work and family.
