Book Synopsis Unplugged Play: Preschool by : Bobbi Conner
Download or read book Unplugged Play: Preschool written by Bobbi Conner and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Screen-free. Battery-free. Pure fun. When Unplugged Play was first published as a parent-friendly encyclopedia of games and activities for all ages, Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, called it “A terrific prescription for much of what ails children and parents today.” Now Unplugged Play gets a fresh and appealing new life as three separate, brightly designed books, each targeted to a specific age group. The need, of course, is significantly more pressing than when the book was originally published—screens are far more ubiquitous, causing parents even greater concern about their overuse—and these timeless, imaginative, easy-to-implement games are here to the rescue. Each volume includes games to play alone and games to play with siblings and friends and parents. Games to play indoors and games for outside. There are craft projects, music activities, guessing games—the kinds of truly fun activities designed to stretch the imagination, spark creativity, build strong bodies, forge friendships, and explore the real world. The opposite of hunkering down in front of an addictive screen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain, It’s a Boy! is the first major parenting book to chart every stage of a boy’s life. This upbeat, authoritative, and reassuring guide–written by psychologist Michael Thompson, Ph.D., a leading international expert on boys’ development, and journalist Teresa H. Barker–shows how a boy’s inner life progresses through infancy, childhood, and adolescence. What do boys actually need? How exactly does a healthy boy look and act? It’s a Boy! has the answers, providing expert advice on the developmental, psychological, social, and academic life of boys from infancy through the teen years. Exploring the many ways in which boys strive for masculinity and attempt to define themselves, Dr. Thompson identifies the key developmental transitions that mark a boy’s psychological growth and emotional health, and the challenges both boys and parents face at each age. • Expecting a Boy: how our deeply held hopes, fears, and family histories shape our expectations of boys and our parenting techniques • Baby Boys (birth to 18 months): falling in love with your son, healthy attachment, trust, and temperament • Toddler Years (18 months to 3 years): boys on the go, bold steps, blankies, budding language, and rambunctious physicality • Powerful Little Boys (ages 3 and 4): superhero ambitions, penis play and potty talk, learning to manage the force of his anger, and celebrating the power of the boy group • Starting School (ages 5 through 7): developmental cues for school readiness, transitional challenges, girl cooties and boys-only play, tough talk, tender hearts, and first friends • Boys on a Mission (ages 8 through 10): striving for mastery in sports, screen games, and boy society, organizing the boy brain for school success, and glaring academic gender gaps • The Preteen (ages 11 through 13): puberty, posturing and popularity, the culture of cruelty, hidden sensitivity, and stoic silence in the middle school years • Early High School (ages 14 and 15): the secret life of boys, powerful peer groups, sexuality, school strategies, the shift away from Mom (she knows too much), and yearning for Dad’s respect and attention • On the Brink of Manhood (ages 16 through 18): the quest for independence, sex, love, driving, drinking, and other choices and challenges of life Practical, insightful, wonderfully engaging, and filled with instructive true stories any parent of a son will recognize, It’s a Boy! is the definitive guide to raising boys in today’s world, revealing with humor, compassion, and joy all the infinite varieties of boys and the deep and profound ways in which we love them.

Download or read book Super Flyers written by Lori Baudino and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stressed about your upcoming flight with your kids? You are not alone. The most common phrases when discussing flying with children are "No, thank you." and "We don't travel anymore now that we have kids." The perceived difficulties of traveling with children are too overwhelming for most parents. Even parents that once traveled the world are often discouraged by the effort of traveling as a family. While social media and the Internet have brought the world a bit closer, there is still nothing more meaningful than experiencing travel and new cultures firsthand as a family. Flights are getting faster, more convenient, and more comfortable. Amenities are more inclusive, bags are smaller, and devices are transportable. Parents need to feel that even with children, travel can be as exciting as ever. "The list of metaphors that relate to parenting and airplane travel is quite astounding. Parenting is a journey: you're flying by the seat of your pants but constantly need to stay grounded. The daily challenges of handling our children's feelings, planning schedules, living up to our own expectations, and finding time to do everything is just like turbulence. Better to go with them rather than strain and tense your body in reaction. Think of this book as a therapeutic reference for successful parenting. I hope you will use this book to support you in the air and on the ground." - Dr. Lori BaudinoSuper Flyers: A parent guidebook for airplane travel with children, playfully takes you through the steps needed to have the best flight possible. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight!
Book Synopsis Living Crazy Like Fly by : Caryn Suarez
Download or read book Living Crazy Like Fly written by Caryn Suarez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-07-10 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of a poor little rich girl growing up in Warsaw, Indiana on beautiful Chapman Lake. She came from an affluent home and suffered severe child abuse at the hands of her parents for 18 years, as did her other 5 siblings. This story is dedicated as a thank you for her zany friends, her inspirational teachers and her old lost love. It is an inspirational story of survival of some horrifying life experiences. It has been written as both a thank you to those who helped me through a rough time and also as an inspiration for others going through similar experiences to find hope and help in their situations. Part of the profit that I am making from this story is being donated to the "Children's Home Society" who house and feed battered and foster children taken from domestic abuse situations. I am hoping with all of my heart that my story will at least be able to be inspirational to someone else and also perhaps raise some money for my own personal cause of abuse awareness and to help those trying to help others.

Boyle demonstrates how the benefits of “living small” are accessible to us all—whether we’re renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house. Filled with personal essays, projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive and resourceful in a tight space, Simple Matters shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more: more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, and more things of beauty.

Download or read book Hazard written by Margaret Combs and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazard is a poignant, unflinching memoir of the emotional intricacies of growing up with a severely disabled sibling. Margaret Combs shows how her Southern Baptist family coped with lived reality of autism in an era of ignorance and shame, the 1950s through the 1970s, and shares her own tragedy and anguish of being torn between helping her brother and yearning for her own life. Like many siblings of disabled children, young Margaret drives herself to excel in order to make up for her family’s sorrow and ultimately flees her family for what she hopes is a “normal” life. Hazard is also a story of indelible bonds between siblings: the one between Combs and her sister, and the deep and rueful one she has with her disabled brother; how he and she were buddies; and how fervently she wanted to make him whole. Initially fueled by a wish that her brother had never been born, the author eventually arrives in a deeper place of gratitude for this same brother, whom she loves and who loves her in return.
