En sommerfugl, en far, et savn, et fravær.En pige får et gammelt akvarium og 20 små sorte larver af sin far.

In this new edition, coauthors Edward R. Amend Psy.D., Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC, and Janet Gore, M.Ed. reinforce the reliable approaches originally explored in the first edition, while drawing extensively on the wealth of research and information developed over the last 15 years in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and education. Our children are navigating a world that in many crucial ways is quite different from the one that existed in 2007. The new Parent's Guide to Gifted Children includes issues of social media, screen time, LGBTQ, and bullying. For gifted children however, many of the needs remain the same- advocacy, educational planning, access to true peers, and more. Rich in information and strategies, this edition will be referred to time and time again whether you are entirely new to gifted, completing your "active" parenting days, or supporting a gifted grandchild, student, or client.

From how-to-prepare your home prior to baby's arrival, to both parents' contributions to the stages of early development, this practical newborn handbook prepares you for all of the challenging situations to come over the next 3 months. This is not just a biological mother's physical prep, it's a trust-worthy source of bottom-line, practical information as you navigate each new and exciting day.

"An urgently needed guide to help parents understand their teenagers' emotional highs and lows-and how to support their sons and daughters through this critical development stage-from the New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure. In teenagers, powerful emotions are the rule, not the exception. Unfortunately, many of today's parents now regard their teens' negative feelings as disruptive, dangerous, or diagnosable, thanks to the rise of the wellness industry and the widespread use of psychotropic drugs.

Parents who read this book will learn: a teenager's mental health isn't just about "feeling good," it's about having the appropriate feelings at the appropriate time.

On Becoming Babywise continues to gain global recognition for its common-sense approach to parenting a newborn. The infant management plan offered by Pediatrician Robert Bucknam, M.D. and co-author Gary Ezzo in this book helps parents successfully and naturally synchronize their baby's feeding time, waketime and nighttime cycles. The results? Happy, healthy and contented babies who sleep through the night on average between seven and nine weeks of age. The best evaluation of any parenting philosophy, including Babywise, is not found in the reasoning or the logic of the hypothesis. End results speak clearly. Let your eyes confirm what works and what doesn't. You will be most confident in your parenting when you see the desired results lived out in other families. Stage One: Birth to 5 months -- On Becoming Babywise Stage Two: 5 - 12 months -- On Becoming Babywise 11 Stage Three: 12 - 18 months -- On Becoming Pretoddlerwise Stage Four: 18 - 36 months -- On Becoming Toddlerwise Stage Five: 36 - 84 months -- On Becoming Childwise The principles of On Becoming Babywise were first shared in 1984. Sarah was the first baby girl raised with the principles; Kenny was the first boy. Both thrived on mother's milk and a basic routine, and both slept through the night by seven weeks. It was that easy. On Becoming Babywise has now been translated into 16 different languages and is utilized by more than 6 million parents around the world. As with previous editions, this update does not provide parents a list of do's and don'ts. We wish parenting were that easy. Rather, our larger objective is to help prepare minds for the incredible task of raising a child. We believe the preparation of the mind is far more important than the preparation of the nursery. Both can be a lot of fun.

Ich möchte mit diesem Buch eine natürliche, selbstverständliche Sichtweise auf die sonst den Blicken verborgenen weiblichen Genitalien, im Sanskrit "Yoni" genannt, ermöglichen. Das geschieht mit Hilfe von Fotografien, Fotomontagen sowie kreativer, künstlerischer Einbeziehung von Naturbildern und Malerei.Es soll die Schönheit, Vielfältigkeit und Einzigartigkeit der Yoni gezeigt werden. Wir alle können uns dabei erinnern, dass wir fast alle aus dem Inneren unserer Mutter durch dieses - Tor ins Leben - gekommen sind. Die Großartigkeit der Schöpfung und die Achtung vor dem Wunder LEBEN sind der Hintergrund dieses Buches, welches als Aufklärendes Anschauungsmaterial dienen möchte.

Med antologien ‘Elevperspektiver’ blev bidragyderne inviteret til at komme med deres bud på, hvordan begrebet ‘Elevperspektiver’ kan forstås og anvendes. Dette kunne enten være som led i deres egen praksiserfaring som lærere eller pædagoger eller baseret på deres egne forskning gennem empiriskforankrede undersøgelser - alt sammen med det mål for øje at komme med bud på forbedringer til skolens praksis baseret på en nysgerrighed på netop elevernes perspektiver fremfor lærernes, pædagogernes eller andre fagprofessionelles ideer og tanker. Bogen er opdelt i tre dele, hvoraf første del er en bred undersøgelse af begrebet ‘elevperspektiver’ - både hvordan det har ændret sig rent historisk, men også hvordan det kommer til udtryk i nutidens skole og hvordan man som fagprofessionel kan tilgå elevernes perspektiv. Anden del går ind i en diskussion om, hvorfor det er nødvendigt og vigtigt at medtænke elevperspektiver i skolen som praksisform. Vi kommer tæt på marginaliserede elever, elevers kamp med kedsomhed og hvor vigtig relationen mellem lærer og elev er for elevernes skolegang. Tredje del er en mere praksisorienteret undersøgelse af, hvordan man kan benytte sig af elevperspektiverne og inkorporere dem til at skabe en forbedret skolegang for eleverne.

Det er alle de store følelser og genkendelige situationer, Jessen og Bartholin tager under kærlig og humoritisk behandling i billedbøgerne om Carl. Det er også tilfældet i Da Carl og Fanny næsten fandt en skat. Carl og Fanny går på opdagelse i skoven. De sætter sig for at opstøve en skat og finder på vejen en lille død sangfugl. De møder også deres bedsteforældre. Sammen får de begravet fuglen med et smukt lille ritual. Bogen giver god anledning til dialogisk læsning og samtale mellem børn og voksne om naturens gang."Carl-bøgerne er et fremragende bud på ny børnelitteratur med klassiker-potentiale. De formår netop at fange essensen af barndommen. Af hvad der fylder i hverdagen hos børn i børnehavealderen." Sådan skrev Trine Wøldiche i sin anmeldelse i KultuNaut af Da Carl havde det sjovt og tilføjede seks stjerner.

Du skuffer mig Jens, siger Marie. Men hun burde være stille. Død og stille. Og ikke kommentere påalt. I tankerne vogter hun alle hans bevægelser. End ikke sin morgenerektion kan han have i fred.Jens er en gammel mand, der lever det stille liv. Lige indtil den dag en skabsdør smutter,og han må lede efter det plaster, Marie tilsyneladende har gemt væk. I sinsøgen finder han hendes dagbog, og nu vælter historier om psykisk sygdom, ungumulig kærlighed og systematisk afpresning frem med de krappe skrå bogstaver. Trods det spirende forår udenfor, bliver Jens blæst omkuld. Hvem var Marie egentlig? Kan man taleom en fremtid, når man nærmer sig de firs? Og er det virkelig nødvendigt atcykle hele vejen gennem Jylland for at slippe fri af Maries stemme? Jens Petersens forlængede forår er, trods Maries barske facon, en smuk fortælling om at blive sat fri. Og om at finde sig selv, omend i sen alder. Cecilie Overbye, f. 1973,er uddannet tandlæge fra Københavns Universitet. Jens Petersens forlængede forår er hendes romandebut.
