Hyman, Irwin A.
From Library Journal These books examine child discipline, with spanking presented as an effective or ineffective method (depending on the viewpoint). A father and a family therapist for 30 years, Hyman (psychology, Temple Univ.) bases his discipline models on research and clinical observations. He offers parents a number of alternative strategies to physical punishment, including understanding child psychology, systemetizing rewards and punishments, and defusing anger in both parent and child. In contrast, Pritchett, a mother and stepmother, offers a discipline plan based on spanking as the only effective deterrent in training children to be obedient and well behaved. Her book begins with a description of spanking (two to five hard whacks on the bottom with a paddle followed by loving admonition). Spanking is deemed the appropriate parental response to all children for breaking family or house rules, defiance, lying, cheating, stealing, bad language, and any form of disrespect or disobedience. Pritchett cites the Bible as her reference. Hyman is a good addition to most public library parenting collections, but while one would like to present an opposing viewpoint, Pritchett, whose advice is neither comprehensive nor based on current research, cannot be recommended.?Kay L. Brodie, Chesapeake Coll., Wye Mills., Md. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. Library Journal "A good addition to most public library parenting collections." Book Description This book offers parents and teachers constructive methods of discipline, useful for everyday situations. It documents the long-term negative effects of spanking?how it brutalizes kids and creates violent adults. Irwin Hyman, an expert in the field of home and school discipline, explains in a passionate and compelling style why spanking or hitting children is abusive, destructive, and counterproductive. He then gives common sense advice on alternative forms of discipline, which help to raise happy and emotionally stable children.
Satter, Ellyn
Amazon.com Confused about feeding your baby or toddler? Child of Mine, by noted nutritionist Ellyn Satter, is an essential guide for every new parent concerned with nutrition and appetite. Satter's advice is thorough and straightforward: "You can't control or dictate the quantity of food your child eats, and you shouldn't try. You also can't control or dictate the kind of body your child develops, and you shouldn't try. What you can do, and it is a great deal, is set things up for your child so she, herself, can regulate her food intake as well as possible, and so she can develop a healthy body that is constitutionally right for her." Child of Mine provides information on all aspects of feeding, from pregnancy through the toddler years. Satter begins with historical and social perspectives on infant feeding, describing how formula was developed and discussing the social movement that lead to accepting a child's input into his or her own development. Nutrition during pregnancy, infant feeding, introducing solid foods, building positive eating relationships, and avoiding eating disorders are all discussed. The sections on breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding, and on the regulation of food intake (particularly the relationship between parental attitudes and children's eating habits) are especially recommended. Satter provides specific nutritional information (including charts, diagrams, and nutritional breakdowns) interspersed with a no-nonsense, experienced perspective that will help you establish good eating habits that your children will benefit from long after they're out of diapers. --Ericka Lutz Ingram This expanded edition of Child of Mine presents a rational, healthy approach to child nutrition that offers a wealth of practical solidly researched information. Written by a registered dietician and licensed clinical social worker, the book emphasizes that an eating disorder indicates problems in the family as a whole and offers guidance for seeking help for serious disorders.

Elkind, David
Book Description For the first time in ten years, a fully-revised edition of the classic book on how and why we hurry our children into adulthood. With the first two editions of this landmark work, Dr. David Elkind eloquently called our attention to the dangers of exposing our children to overwhelming pressures, pressures that can lead to a wide range of childhood and teenage crises. Internationally recognized as the voice of reason and compassion, Dr. Elkind showed that in blurring the boundaries of what is age appropriate, by expecting-or imposing-too much too soon, we force our kids to grow up far too fast. In the two decades since this groundbreaking book first appeared, we have compounded the problem, inadvertently stepping up the assault on childhood in the media, in schools, and at home. Taking a detailed, up-to-the-minute look at the world of today's children and teens in terms of the Internet, classroom culture, school violence, movies, television, and a growing societal incivility, Dr. Elkind shows a whole new generation of parents where hurrying occurs and why and what we can do about it. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Ingram Elkind calls readers attentions to the crippling stresses on children forced to grow up too fast, children mimicking adult sophistication while secretely yearning for innocence. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Amazon.com There's a lot of hype among politicians about putting a net connection into every classroom, but precious little discussion about what that would accomplish. The author/educators of Netlearning finally ask the right question: Why? Their answer is that the net enables students to learn by doing and offers access to vast resources that no school could afford on its own. Just as important is the collaboration and support teachers from all over the globe can offer each other. Despite technical glitches and limited funds for technology plans, these teachers are getting a handle on what works. Case studies and suggested projects round out this volume and make it a must-read for anyone wondering about the value of the net in classrooms. Ingram In this book, NetAngels (Internet users exploring the Internet's potential for education) share stories to help teachers uncover the benefits of using this medium to its fullest potential in the classroom. The stories take the reader through the use of tools from a teacher's perspective and provide tips on how to effectively integrate the tools and resources into the classroom.

Faber, Adele
Amazon.com With a title like this, it's no surprise that authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish had a monster bestseller on their hands when the book first appeared in 1988. From the subsequent deluge of readers' stories, questions, and issues, they have created nearly 50 pages of new material for this, the 10th anniversary edition. The central message remains the same, and sounds almost too simple: avoid comparisons. But parents know that's easier said than done. The value of Faber and Mazlish's discussions is precisely that they talk you through umpteen different situations and outcomes to help you teach your brawling offspring a new set of responses. The highly informative text is punctuated with helpful summary/reminder boxes and cartoons illustrating key points. It's a must-read for parents with (or planning on) multiple children. But parents of young children who get along fine (so far) should read it too--as the authors make very clear, rivalry is inevitable. The only question is how to manage the rivalry with intelligence and compassion, and on that subject they offer a wealth of good advice. --Richard Farr Product Description: When parenting authorities Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish sat down to write the national bestseller How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, they found that they couldn't contain their chapter on sibling rivalry.No matter how much they tried to pare down their advice, they found the subject inexhaustible -- and their readers agreed! The result is this seminal book -- revised and updated after more than ten years of feedback from parents' letters, TV and radio talk shows, and Faber and Mazlish's highly successful parenting workshops. Siblings Without Rivalry guides the way to family peace and tranquillity with humor and compassion for both parents and children. Illustrated, action-oriented, and easy to understand, it's packed with sensitive yet sensible ways to turn quarreling siblings and frustrated parents into an open, communicative family.

From Publishers Weekly Millions of women are fed up with jobs outside the home, according to Davidson, a former teacher who is now self-employed. While acknowledging the gains of the women's movement, she is critical of radical feminism and the media's glamorization of working women, stating, ``Contemporary culture communicates a message that few of us miss: it's not all right for an intelligent woman to stay home.'' She describes her family and work experiences and offers a guide on making financial and emotional assessments about staying at home, reducing expenses, dealing with social pressures and adapting to fulltime mothering. She also examines opportunities in ``alternative employment'' (part-time, temporary, half-day, short-term and job-sharing) and possibilities for work at home and concludes with a valuable appendix of resources.
