101 juegos de piscina para niños de 4 años en adelante


Book Description

¡Apréndete unos cuantos juegos, añádeles agua... y tendrás horas y horas de diversión y de saludable ejercicio! Para niños y niñas de 4 años en adelante A los niños les encanta el agua, y jugar en ella es una forma divertida y sociable de mantenerlos en buena forma física. Las actividades y los juegos que contiene este libro hacen que los niños corran, salten, sostengan el equilibrio, se estiren, pataleen, se agarren unos a otros, naden, compitan sobre objetos flotantes, buceen, se arrojen esponjas empapadas, empujen, tiren de algo y realicen otros muchos ejercicios. Y hay juegos para todos, tanto si tu hijo es un principiante nadador como si ya apunta a campeón olímpico. Chisss, no le digas a los niños que todo esto es bueno para su salud; ellos, en su inocencia, creen que sólo sirve para divertirse. LOS JUEGOS DE PISCINA ESTIMULAN Y DESARROLLAN la coordinación - el tono muscular - la flexibilidad las aptitudes sociales - la autoconfianza - el sentido del humor Los ejercicios en el agua no sólo favorecen el desarrollo de una sólida resistencia física; también ayudan a adquirir un buen tono muscular. Por eso este libro incluye una sección especial dedicada a los ejercicios acuáticos. Esta sección abarca actividades tales como andar, correr, saltar y mantener el equilibrio metidos en el agua, así como ejercicios destinados al desarrollo de la parte superior e inferior del cuerpo; actividades estas a las que hay que añadir también algunos ejercicios que fortalecen el torso. Este libro pone al alcance de la familia, de los monitores de natación, de los responsables de campamentos y de los coordinadores de actividades toda una colección de los mejores juegos de piscina. Lo único que tienen que hacer es añadirles el agua. Ideados por una preparadora física titulada, estos juegos de piscina se encuadran en seis secciones: carreras, juegos de "corre que te pillo", juegos imaginativos, juegos por equipos, jugos fuera del agua y juegos de participación individual. La seguridad en la piscina merece la máxima prioridad, por lo que en cada juego se indica con toda claridad el nivel de pericia natatoria requerido y el material auxiliar necesario. Hay juegos que para llevarse a cabo requieren aguas que cubran, mientras que otros solamente necesitan un bajo nivel del líquido elemento; esto hace que los juegos que aparecen en el libro puedan perfectamente tener lugar tanto en la piscina de tu vivienda, en el polideportivo o en la misma playa.




Modern Spanish Grammar


Book Description

Modern Spanish Grammar: A Practical Guide is an innovative reference guide to Spanish, combining traditional and function-based grammar in a single volume.The Grammar is divided into two parts. The shorter section covers traditional grammatical categories such as word order, nouns, verbs and adjectives. The larger section is carefully organized around language functions and notions such as: giving and seeking information putting actions into context * expressing likes, dislikes and preferences comparing objects and actions.All grammar points and functions are richly illustrated and information is provided on register and relevant cultural background. Written by experienced teachers and academics, the Grammar has a strong emphasis on contemporary usage. Particular attention is paid to indexing and cross-referencing across the two sections. This is the ideal reference grammar for learners of Spanish at all levels, from elementary to advanced. It will prove invaluable to those with little experience of formal grammar, as no prior knowledge of grammatical terminology is assumed and a glossary of terms is provided. The book will also be useful to teachers seeking back-up to functional syllabuses, and to designers of Spanish courses.




Overcoming Autism


Book Description

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.
