Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.

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.

'It is my sincere conviction that parents of all shades and creeds share a common bond: that of wanting the best for their children. It is also the right of every child to be raised with enough care to nurture mind, body and soul; so that each will grow up with the good sense of self-worth and a chance to realise their full potential.' MARINA PETROPULOS 'Marina highlights that each child is an individual, so we as parents get to know them in order to provide their particular needs. There is no single right way and Marina is very clear that we have to trust our knowledge of our particular children in order to help them grow up to be adults who can negotiate their way in life. This is a book to have always on one's bedside table!' Dr ALAN WOOD, Medical Journal. 'This book is a veritable one-stop knowledge shop... Not only does it seem to cover every single, solitary, freaky, benign, apparently stupid or incredibly bright question a fuzzy-headed mother might find herself asking, but it does so in a calm, credible, non-judgemental and non-patronising tone... there are also the more tricky topics like the hopes we have for our children, and - very sensitively and sensibly dealt with - the issue of discipline... particularly useful are the handy grids to illnesses, their symptoms and when to see a doctor... ' KAREN SCHIMKE 'This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive and reliable, factual advice and help for parents and parents-to-be. I unreservedly recommend it.' DR JOHN PEARN, Royal Children's' Hospital, Australia. 'This book read beautifully - it is light, yet serious and thorough and up-to-date. A really marvellous guide and source of excellent information.' Professor Astrid Berg, MB ChB, FC Psych (SA), MPhil (Child & Adolescent Psychiatry).

Download or read book Early Child Care written by Caroline Augusta Chandler and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Child Care is about the very young child--infant, toddler, and early preschool--in today's world. It grew out of a series of conferences sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Children's Hospital of Washington, D.C., and the Committee on Day Care of the Maternal and Child Health Section of the American Public Health Association. Each of the sponsoring agencies represents a focal point for pressures from groups concerned with improving the care of the young child. Faced with common concern, the three sponsoring agencies brought together a number of experts in the field to pool information and experience and to review research findings as a basis for sound planning for children less than three years of age. The authors included in Early Child Care are pioneers in the true sense of the word.. Until recently, no one has tried to specify exactly what goes on between mother and her baby, who does what to whom in the exchange, and what happens if, instead of one mother, there is no mother, an alternating day and night mother, or many different substitutes for the mother. Until all that transpires between the mother and her baby in the best of circumstances is comprehended in sufficient detail that it can be confidently reproduced, it is impossible to make alternative plans. Early Child Care is an effort to identify what is known about young children and apply it to day-by-day programming. Millions of mothers give their babies a good start, providing devoted and painstaking care. Such mothers somehow know when a child needs to be let alone--and when to respond. This volume attempts to define how such instincts can be reproduced in other settings. Caroline A. Chandler was a consultant in child mental health and early child care at the Center for Studies of Child and Family Mental Health, National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Reginald S. Lourie was director of the department of psychiatry at the Children's Hospital, Washington D. C. and the founder of The Reginald S. Lourie Center for Infants and Young Children in Maryland. Ann DeHuff Peters was associate professor of maternal and child health at the School of Public Health, University of North Carolina. Laura L. Dittmann was professor emeritus in the department of human development/Institute for Child Study at the University of Maryland.
