The Wonder Weeks


Book Description

"This is not a book about how to make your child into a genius, however. We firmly believe that every child is unique and intelligent in his own way. It is a book on how to understand and cope with your baby when he is difficult and how to enjoy him most as he grows. It is about the joys and sorrows of growing with your baby."--Publisher's website.




From Neurons to Neighborhoods


Book Description

How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.




The Gentle Sleep Book


Book Description

The Gentle Sleep Book offers gentle, reassuring and effective solutions to addressing the common sleep problems of newborns to five-year-olds. 'This book should be called The Sleep Bible and needs to be in every parent's bedside drawer' Marneta Viegas, founder of Relax Kids Are you exhausted by your baby's night-time waking or frustrated by your toddler's reluctance to go to bed? Would you prefer a gentler approach than sleep-training techniques such as controlled crying or pick up/put down? The first five years of parenting are filled with worries and preoccupations, but, for the vast majority, none of them is as pressing as the lack of sleep. In this revised and updated edition of her bestselling book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith offers a gentle, effective prescription for addressing the common sleep challenges encountered by parents of newborns to five-year-olds. Treading a carefully balanced line between the needs of sleep-deprived parents and those of the child, Sarah offers reliable, evidence-based advice including: *How long we can expect our children to sleep at each stage of development. *Why much of the popular advice on sleep is inaccurate and counterproductive. *How to approach common issues including frequent waking, night terrors and bedtime refusal. Sarah's practical suggestions for each developmental stage include how to create a consistent bedtime routine and optimal conditions for sleep, the effect of diet, and how to use comfort objects effectively. This revised and updated edition includes new chapters providing specific advice on daytime naps (when and how to drop them) and how to take care of your own needs and emotions during the early years of disrupted sleep, because your feelings and health matter too.

The Truth About Baby Milestones: Debunking Common Myths


Book Description

Are you a new parent or soon-to-be parent? Are you worried about your baby's development and whether they are reaching their milestones on time? Look no further than "The Truth About Baby Milestones: Debunking Common Myths." In this short read book, we will debunk common myths surrounding baby milestones and provide you with the knowledge and reassurance you need. The book begins with an exploration of developmental milestones. We address the myth that all babies develop at the same pace and explain the various factors that can affect milestone achievement. Whether your baby is achieving milestones earlier or later than expected, we assure you that it is perfectly normal. One of the most common concerns among parents is the fear that missing a milestone means something is wrong. We debunk this myth by highlighting the individual differences among babies and the varied sequences in which milestones can be achieved. We also emphasize the importance of stimulating your baby's development and the benefits of early intervention if necessary. Parents often blame themselves for their baby's milestone delays, but we assure you that this is a myth. We provide guidance on supportive parenting and the importance of seeking professional advice when needed. We also debunk the myth that milestones determine future success, emphasizing that each child has their own individual path to follow. In "The Truth About Baby Milestones," we also address the misconception that milestones are a competition. We encourage supportive communities and a focus on progress rather than comparison. We explain that milestones are not a linear process and that plateaus and regression are a normal part of non-linear development. If you are worried about your baby being a late bloomer, fear not. We discuss the concept of catching up and highlight the strengths that late bloomers often possess in other areas. We also emphasize that milestones are not the ultimate goal, but rather a measure of individual potential. To provide further reassurance and guidance, we have included a section of frequently asked questions. We address common concerns and provide evidence-based answers to help you navigate your baby's milestones with confidence. Don't miss out on this valuable resource for new parents.

A Precarious Game


Book Description

A Precarious Game is an ethnographic examination of video game production. The developers that Ergin Bulut researched for almost three years in a medium-sized studio in the U.S. loved making video games that millions play. Only some, however, can enjoy this dream job, which can be precarious and alienating for many others. That is, the passion of a predominantly white-male labor force relies on material inequalities involving the sacrificial labor of their families, unacknowledged work of precarious testers, and thousands of racialized and gendered workers in the Global South. A Precarious Game explores the politics of doing what one loves. In the context of work, passion and love imply freedom, participation, and choice, but in fact they accelerate self-exploitation and can impose emotional toxicity on other workers by forcing them to work endless hours. Bulut argues that such ludic discourses in the game industry disguise the racialized and gendered inequalities on which a profitable transnational industry thrives. Within capitalism, work is not just an economic matter, and the political nature of employment and love can still be undemocratic even when based on mutual consent. As Bulut demonstrates, rather than considering work simply as a matter of economics based on trade-offs in the workplace, we should consider the question of work and love as one of democracy rooted in politics.
