Las infancias son libres. Deben serlo. En esta serie volvemos a ser niñes gracias a ensayos escritos con las manos, pero también con el corazón, tomando la ternura radical como fuerza erradicadora del adultocentrismo. En infancias libres hacemos dos manifiestos por les niñes, honramos a las infancias diversas, a aquellas que injustamente han perdido su libertad; pero también, a las infancias que crecieron, como muchxs de nosotrxs, lastimadxs. Así, formulamos un diccionario de la no violencia para por fin dar a les niñes el lugar que merecen.

All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens.

You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven’t improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering—where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies had become deeply embedded in children’s lives, despite a growing body of research detailing the harms of excessive immersion in the unregulated, powerfully seductive, profit-driven world of the “kid-tech” industry.

Linn—one of the world’s leading experts on the impact of Big Tech and big business on children—explores the roots and consequences of this monumental shift toward a digitized, commercialized childhood, focusing on kids’ values, relationships, and learning.

How do you close the achievement gap? Start by changing the question. When we use the achievement gap to define success, we shortchange our students. It’s time to recognize that the potential for greatness lies in a unique form within each child—and that the goal of education should be to encourage and develop it. This inspiring manifesto brings in research from different disciplines and demonstrates how to uncover individual greatness by giving students control of their learning.

When building a children’s ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And that’s before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed. Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional children’s ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission.

Der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater Michael Elpers schlägt Alarm: Immer mehr Kinder und Jugendliche leiden an Depressionen, Essstörungen, Angsterkrankungen oder Lernstörungen. Doch die sozialen Ursachen dafür werden sowohl von den Medien als auch vom Gesundheits- und Bildungssystem weitgehend ignoriert - die Verantwortung wird oftmals allein den Eltern zugewiesen. Dieses Buch eröffnet eine Debatte, die - nicht erst seit der Pandemie - längst überfällig ist.

The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.
