Sharing life with a child involves a great many challenges - particularly in our digital age. In addition to keeping your child safe and healthy, 21st-century parents have to contend with things unknown to previous generations, so have little to go on when it comes to making decisions about advice gleaned from the Internet; whether a child should be allowed to use electronic devices, and if so, for how long; how to moderate the effects of celebrity culture pervading both the television and playground, as well as how to handle the current epidemic of childhood obesity. It's therefore time for a fresh approach to managing pre-school children and their care so as to ensure they are ready for school and able to relate well to their peers and teachers. Here, in addition to comprehensive advice on meeting their child's daily needs, the reader will find information on the normal course of development, how to spot problems early and be seen by the appropriate specialists, how to achieve success when dealing with negative, recalcitrant or destructive children and how to manage difficult family situations.
Being a parent is one of life's most rewarding experiences, but it can also be one of the most daunting. This resourceful and engaging guide demystifies children's behavior and provides readers with all the tools they need for becoming confident and happy parents. Written by a child psychologist and parenting expert, it covers typical behavior from infancy through age 8. Practical matters such as eating habits, potty training, and bedtimes are discussed in-depth, along with more complicated issues such as bullying, shyness, and sibling rivalry. Sound advice, smart tips, and colorful charts and sidebars will show parents how to respond to their child's emotional needs and build a loving, lasting relationship.
Starting from the baby and its pre-speech signals, this book explores the significance of body language in children. Their bodies reveal if they are guilty or disappointed, and learning to understand this can lead to much closer relationship.
The equality jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union has long drawn criticism for its almost total reliance on Aristotle’s doctrine that likes should be treated like, and unlikes unlike. As has often been shown, this is a blunt tool, entrenching assumptions and promoting difference-blindness: the symptoms of simplicity. In this book, Richard Lang proposes that the EU’s judges complement the Aristotelian test with a new one based on Michael Walzer’s theory of Complex Equality, and illustrates how analysing allegedly discriminatory acts, not in terms of comparisons of the actors involved, but rather in terms of distributions and meanings of goods, would enable them to reach decisions with new dexterity and to resolve conflicts without sacrificing diversity.
