Book Description
Listening to children' is one of those feel-good phrases that always features in childcare literature as if it were self-evidently a good thing. Often, however, there is a lack of critical attention to what it really means: How does one listen? How can one evidence that listening has taken place? Starting with an introduction to the policy and practice of listening to children and young people, both individually and in groups, this practitioner's guide provides a range of practical techniques for effective listening, encompassing observation and communication, seeing things from the child's point of view, explaining difficult concepts, helping young people to talk about their experiences and express their feelings, promoting participation and eliciting their wishes and views. The book is peppered throughout with good practice checklists, good practice examples, reflective exercises and quotations from children, as well as case studies showing real situations where effective communication has been established with a child. Listening to Children: A Practitioner's Guide is a rich source of insight and guidance for professionals working with children in the fields of social care, health and education, including child welfare protection, pastoral care, educational psychology and counselling, and indeed for anyone working with children.

Book Description
This book arose out of a belief that children, though born mindful, are being moved away from this natural state more rapidly than ever. With the stress and anxiety epidemic of our time, we’re all in greater need to return to a state of conscious presence—the very definition of mindfulness. You may ask when and how we’ve lost this simple state. It’s usually around the same time we notice it in our own children—generally in elementary school starting in the mid-to-late grades, when we succeed in training children out of mindfulness and into the world of past and future. This book is meant to offer tools which can be incorporated into normal, everyday activities to retrain the mind back to this natural state. It is not meant to teach how to be mindful, but to give tools to bring mindfulness back into everyday life. Each activity is intended to be used by parents to regain their sense of peace in everyday life, cope with stressors and anxieties and spend time with their children in conscious presence. It is also aimed at prolonging the natural state of mindfulness in children, help them remain focused and give them tools to cope with stress and anxiety. Why be mindful? - Recognize Emotions - Regain Peace - Cultivate Patience - See with Fresh Eyes - Let Go of Negativity - Remove Judgement - Connect with Others - Understand the Self - Give up Struggle - Nurture Gratitude - Manage Stress What does it take to be mindful? It takes intentional action along with the right tools. Your intent to bring peace into your life has brought you to this book. This book will provide you with daily tools to cultivate mindfulness. How will this book help? - 365-Day Guide - Engages Children - Easy Meditations - Everyday Scenarios - Step-by-Step Tools - Inspirational Lessons - Fun and Simple Approach - Simple Meditations - Peace Oriented

The book explores the place of silence and listening in human relationships, and the treasures that can be found in both speech and silence.

Book Description
Learning to talk is probably the greatest milestone in a child's development: a deeply moving and often hilarious experience for all parents. In this charming and informative book, Britain's leading expert on the English language talks you through every stage in your child's language development. Over thirty years after its original publication, this new and updated edition of Listen to your Child shows us that while the world our children are growing up in may have changed, one thing has not: parents still need to listen. Gathering decades of research from psychologists and linguists, Professor Crystal shows how the more we know about language acquisition - from 'cooking' and 'babbling' to melodic 'scribble talk' and simple words and then to incessant chatter - the more there is to delight in. From birth to the early school years, Listen to your Child provides a painless introduction to the study of child language acquisition as well as invaluable advice for parents.

Book Description
Conversations take place in every early childhood classroom—between teachers and children, and among children. Are You Listening? asks teachers to examine these conversations and their impact on children’s learning. Often, teachers use conversations to impart information to children instead of really listening to children and allowing them to make their own decisions. Grounded in child-centered, relationship-based theory, this book covers topics such as how to create an environment that supports quality conversations, how to encourage conversations that support learning and development, and how to work with children with limited language capabilities.

Author: W. R. Bion Publisher: Routledge ISBN: 0429920334 Category : Psychology Languages : en Pages : 3603
Book Description
The Complete Works of W. R. Bion is now available in a coherent and corrected format. Comprising sixteen volumes bound in green cloth, this edition has been brought together and edited by Chris Mawson with the assistance of Francesca Bion. Incorporating many corrections to previously published works, it also features previously unpublished papers. Including a general index and editorial introductions to all the works, these volumes will be a useful and valuable aid to psychoanalytic scholars and clinicians, and all those interested in studying and making use of Bion's thinking.Bion's writings, including the previously unpublished papers and additions to his Cogitations, collected together in the Complete Works, show that the clinical thrust of Bion's work has clear lines of continuity with that of Melanie Klein, just as her work has an essential continuity with the later work of Freud. In Bion's clinical work and supervision the goal remains insightful understanding of psychic reality through a disciplined experiencing of the transference and countertransference; the setting and the method - however much Bion's terminology might suggest otherwise - remains rigorously psychoanalytic.
