Your precious newborn comes into the world like a bud on the verge of blooming, eager to grasp the rhythm of life. As the developing brain embarks on its journey outside the womb, it instinctively seeks to organize and make sense of this new world, yet it is unable to sculpt the cycles of feed-wake and sleep that it needs to thrive. This is where the parents step in, as caretakers and creators, much like the artisans molding clay, they begin to shape the child's world with gentle precision guided by Babywise Sleep Solutions.

Each year thousands of young adults deemed out of control - suffering from depression, addiction, anxiety, and rage - are carted off against their will to remote wilderness programs and treatment facilities across the country. Desperate parents of these “troubled teens” fear it’s their only option. The private, largely unregulated behavioral boot camps break their children down, a damnation the children suffer forever.

Milano, 1964: Maria Pia inizia le elementari e trova una maestra che insegna a leggere e scrivere a tutte le quaranta bambine della classe. Milano, 2006: Antonio, suo figlio, alla fine della prima elementare non ha neppure imparato a contare. Arriva solo fino a tredici, poi si ferma. Lei si trasforma allora nell’“istitutrice segreta” di Antonio, a cui dà ripetizioni sulle infinite materie dei programmi scolastici. Lo fa anche visitare da un medico che gli diagnostica un disturbo di apprendimento.

El psicólogo especialista en apego y desarrollo infantil, Felipe Lecannelier, lleva más de dos décadas investigando cómo asegurar la seguridad emocional de la primera infancia. Su diagnóstico es determinante: nunca tendremos una crianza genuinamente respetuosa si no miramos la infancia desde la infancia. Para ello, hace 20 años desarrolló A.M.A.R., una metodología centrada en cuatro capacidades –atención, mentalización, automentalización y regulación–, que no pretende ser una receta o un paso a paso, sino una guía contundente para padres, educadores y todos aquellos cuidadores de niños y niñas entre 0 y 6 años.

We aspire to live in a country where old men are celebrated as vital elders but not demeaned if they become ill and dependent. We aspire to maintain health as well as maintain dignity and fulfillment in frailty. Old Man Country helps listeners see and imagine these possibilities for themselves. The audiobook follows the journey of a writer in search of wisdom, as he encounters 12 distinguished American men over 80 - including Paul Volcker, the former head of the Federal Reserve, and Denton Cooley, the world's most famous heart surgeon.

This important book offers a practical guide to understanding how Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) can be used in the classroom. Gardner identified eight different types of intelligence: linguistic, logical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Celebrating Every Learner describes the characteristics of each type of intelligence and follows up with ready-to-use lesson plans and activities that teachers can use to incorporate MI in their pre-K through six classrooms.

Being a parent is probably the most important job many of us will ever have. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and his colleague, child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet, show parents how to raise their child to become the adult we'd all like to be—one who is happy and compassionate, confident but not aggressive, and able to make and keep friends.

At its heart, polyvagal theory describes how the brain's unconscious sense of safety or danger impacts our emotions and behaviors. In this powerful book, pediatrician and neonatologist Marilyn R. Sanders and child psychiatrist George S. Thompson offer both a meditation on caregiving and a call to action. By attending to the lessons of polyvagal theory—that adult caregivers must be aware of children's unconscious processing of sensory information—the authors show how professionals can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety even in the face of dangerous situations.

Perché gli adolescenti sono tristi? Da che cosa deriva il loro senso perenne di inadeguatezza nei confronti del mondo che li circonda? Come si articolano, e come si confrontano, esperienze psicopatologiche ed esperienze creative? Quali sono gli orizzonti problematici della psichiatria oggi? Sono inconciliabili tra loro, o sono possibili reciproche influenze? Sappiamo riconoscere il valore umano della malattia? Queste e altre domande articolano una riflessione sulle passioni fragili che appartengono alla nostra vita e alla nostra crescita.

Tutto è iniziato con l'ingresso alle scuole medie. Fino a ieri vostro figlio era un bambino angelico, e ora di colpo è pronto a darvi battaglia su tutto, pensa solo a divertirsi e vive di emozioni intense e improvvise, come sulle montagne russe. Lo tsunami che vi sta travolgendo si chiama preadolescenza, e sappiate fin da subito che non c'è cura; ma un segreto per sopravvivere, sì: capire cosa sta succedendo in un cervello in piena evoluzione, che funziona in modo diverso rispetto a quello di un adulto.

Students and teachers alike face a dilemma: Why think deeply when we can just take a shortcut by googling something? Why read an article when we can learn from a social media headline? If, as educators, we want to encourage our students to value thoughtfulness and to embrace the effort it takes to reach deep understandings, we must model that behavior ourselves.

Humans are indeed creatures of habit. But behavioral psychology clearly states that what has been learned once can be unlearned again with the right strategy. No one knows the habits of winners better than Patrick Drechsler. The sought-after coach and motivational trainer has painstakingly developed them himself. Today, he passes on his knowledge of the right mindset for maximum success to everyone who wants to finally break free from monotony and lethargy.

O dětech žijících v ústavní péči – o dobré i špatné práci s nimi, o jejich reálných příbězích. Upřímná a surová kniha, která nehledá líbivá slova k líčení reálných situací.
