Getting a Grip
Author: Bethany Meadows
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692987032
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Have you ever read a parenting book that promised a "revolutionary" concept in parenting? Or maybe the 5 secret steps to parenting success? Were you disappointed when it didn't work the way you had hoped? Getting a Grip was written to give parents a guide from which they can build their own unique parenting plan. One that sheds the one-size-fits-all myth and takes into account the amazing dynamic that is your individual family. Parenting is one of life's greatest responsibilities and one of its most daunting challenges. If you have a child who is more than five minutes old, you already know what I'm talking about. I probably read a hundred parenting books in my quest to figure out the answers I needed with all the situations I faced with my own five children and two stepchildren. I decided early on that it would be wise to seek out all the help I could get. I also found out that while they were helpful in some areas, many of those books just didn't understand the specific dynamic of my unique family. I soon learned there is not a one-size-fits-all parenting model. Just when you think you've got them figured out, they seem to suddenly evolve and you end up wondering just who that alien creature is sitting at your kitchen table. As they grow, they enter new phases of their development, leaving you to decide by what rules you now need to play. Then you find out that as they develop every child's needs are different. When you raise one teenager and you think you are prepared for the second...think again. Every stage seems to be an entirely different experience with each child. In addition, parents are people too. That means we are unique individuals with personalities and value systems that also affect the dynamics of a family. Being a parent is the toughest job you will face. It will bring you some of your deepest joys and your most intense pain. It often feels like a roller coaster ride complete with thrills, chills, twists, and turns...and a few screams for good measure. I never set out to write a book that would tell you how to raise your children. That is ultimately between you and God. However, I do hope that this book will provide a guideline with which you can build your own framework for a parenting plan. One that you can customize for the individual and unique needs of your family. Your children are your responsibility. Not your neighbors. Not your village. Not your government. Not even your church. Don't allow anyone or anything to be the primary influencer of their values and character. I believe God will ask me to answer for my parenting choices one day. I want to be able to say that I followed His instructions, sought His guidance when I got stuck and remained steadfast when the journey got tough. I call it "staying vertical" and it's a motto I keep close to my heart. There is no one who knows your child better than you. Not a teacher. Not a coach. Not this book. Take all advice both in these pages and elsewhere through the filter of that basic principle. In other words, take what works for your family and leave the rest.

Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309324882
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
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.
