25 Things to Do When Grandpa Passes Away, Mom and Dad Get Divorced, or the Dog Dies: Activities to Help Children Suffering Loss or Change $39.86 Kids need ways to acknowledge death and loss–and they need to express their sense of grief physically. Some children need activities we consider traditional: they conduct ceremonies or write letters to the people they’ve lost. Others, full of the anger that is a normal stage of grief, need to pound and punch, run and jump. Yet others express their grief through art. This book combines a description of the grieving process with directions for activities that help bereaved children. Kanyer explains the value of each activity so parents and caregivers can select appropriate projects based on the child’s age, loss and stage in the grieving process. She also discusses how learning about grief prepares children for new relationships and to accept losses later in life. Laurie Kanyer is a Yakima, Washington educational consultant who specializes in human development across the lifespan. She is also the parenting columnist for the Yakima Herald-Republic. This book evolved from her research on how people parent when they are suffering a life-threatening illness. |

A Sunday School In Utopia $14.14 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III The Child’s Heritage Factors in the Development of the Child We cannot discover the nature of a child until we have studied his actions under various conditions, i.e. his actions will vary according to his environment. We do not know the nature of any object until we see what it will do under certain circumstances, e.g. a grain of corn has the power of producing other grains of corn, but it cannot actually do so until it is brought into a certain environment; that is, placed in the soil and subjected to heat and moisture. In a similar way the child has certain powers, but they cannot become actual until it is placed in certain surroundings. Innate powers in a child will lie dormant unless awakened and stimulated to activity by environment. So there are two factors in the child’s development—the inner and the outer : heredity and environment. All inner tendencies remain undeveloped, or at most develop slowly, without the action of favourable outer influences. Now the study of the inner and outer factors in humandevelopment, and the inquiry as to how the inner may be modified by the outer, is one of the problems of child study. Put briefly, we must discover the natural order of mental development and the modifying effects of various conditions at different stages of life. We have to ask what inner tendencies are prominent at each age, and how these tendencies are developed and modified by outer influences. Child study, therefore, is concerned with all the characteristics ofchildhood, and with the general laws of development. That is, the relation of environment to character. The art of the successful management of children depends consciously or unconsciously upon child study. We now come to consider the child’s heritage ; what it comes into the world |

Art Therapy with Children on the Autistic Spectrum $16.86 Recent research has shown that art therapy can be particularly effective for children with autism and related communication disorders. The extensive range of symptoms experienced by autistic people makes them extremely individual in presentation, so any treatment used must be tailored to a range of varying needs. Art Therapy with Children on the Autistic Spectrum presents a new model of practice, which primarily focuses on communication difficulties. The authors describe how negative behaviors and subsequent tension may be alleviated when the autistic child is involved in interactive art making with the therapist. The book is divided into three parts: the first part explores art making processes and art work, with an emphasis on how art can be specifically communicative. A history of autism is presented within the therapeutic context. The second part challenges existing methods of practice within art therapy and considers the most appropriate approaches to treating autistic children. The last part discusses research that lead to the formulation of this specific model-methodology and assessment interventions are analyzed, as well as the ongoing development of appropriate assessment instruments. Case studies of art therapy with individual autistic children demonstrate the use of the model and the outcomes. Throughout the book, it is emphasized how art therapy works as an integral part of overall management and treatment approaches to autism. It will be of particular interest to all those professionals working with autistic children and specialists in other communication disorders. |

Art and Human Development $84.95 This interdisciplinary volume explores art, its development, and its role in the construction of knowledge. Presenting theory and research on artistic development as a cultural and creative endeavor, contributors examine the origins of human art during the Paleolithic cultural revolution, as part of a modern cultural transformation, in the growth of a creative artist, and in developing children. Target chapters expressing the disciplinary perspectives of psychology, archaeology, communications, education, and the performing arts are followed by commentaries from internationally acclaimed scholars of human development. Part 1 explores how cultures harness and exploit the arts to give expression to values, social practices, and traditions. This section traces the emergence of new art forms that arose during social unrest, including the symbolization of spiritual beliefs expressed on the walls of Paleolithic caves, and the racial identity and cultural values expressed in the media of the hip-hop generation. Part 2 examines the journeys of a composer and a group of students to highlight the process of becoming an artist and the role education plays in its development. The book concludes with a focus on the development of aesthetic appreciation and artistic activity in childhood and adolescence, including, for example, how a child’s developing theory of mind affects appreciation for the arts, and how developing empathy and emotional regulation contribute to the cognitive and affective underpinnings of acting in adolescence. As a whole contributors explore the developmental, sociocultural, and evolutionary processes that make the creation and experience of art possible. Intended for researchers and advanced students in both human development and the arts, this book will also serve as a textbook for advanced courses on psychology and the arts and/or special topics courses in cognitive and/or human development. |

Art programs for youth in foster care: A survey and analysis. $49.99 This paper presents an overview of the major issues affecting the more than half a million children currently living in foster care and analyzes and evaluates the typology of art making experiences for foster youth. This qualitative study, which focuses on out-of-school visual arts programs for older adolescent foster youth ages 14 to 18, has two objectives: (1) to identify and evaluate the different types of visual arts programs implemented by foster care agencies, child welfare and arts organizations, service providers and individuals to address the specific needs of foster youth; and (2) to analyze the relationship of art educational art-making experiences to expressive art-making therapies commonly provided for foster youth. This study focuses on the visual arts for older adolescents who are at risk for aging out of the foster care system. However, some of the programs with multi-arts components have useful implications for younger children and address similar needs of abused, neglected and at-risk youth.;In order to examine the connection between the arts and foster youth, this study used four sources of information: (1) data from existing scholarly research and literature on the foster care system, foster youth, art education and art therapy; (2) quantitative data on foster youth collected by government agencies and child welfare organizations; (3) qualitative data obtained directly from arts programs for foster youth; and through (4) surveys and interviews of art program directors, child welfare administrators, art educators, art therapists, artists, foster youth, foster parents and foster alumni who have experience with the visual arts.;This study exposes a dual need for art educational research on special student populations and human development research on innovative methods of developing the “well-being” of the older youth in foster care. The results would be useful to art educators and art therapists working with older youth in the foster care system; |

Awakening Children’s Minds: How Parents and Teachers Can Make a Difference $21.95 Parents and teachers today face a swirl of conflicting theories about child rearing and educational practice. Indeed, current guides are contradictory, oversimplified, and at odds with current scientific knowledge. Now, in Awakening Children’s Minds, Laura Berk cuts through the confusion of competing theories, offering a new way of thinking about the roles of parents and teachers and how they can make a difference in children’s lives. This is the first book to bring to a general audience, in lucid prose richly laced with examples, truly state-of-the-art thinking about child rearing and early education. Berk’s central message is that parents and teachers contribute profoundly to the development of competent, caring, well-adjusted children. In particular, she argues that adult-child communication in shared activities is the wellspring of psychological development. These dialogues enhance language skills, reasoning ability, problem-solving strategies, the capacity to bring action under the control of thought, and the child’s cultural and moral values. Berk explains how children weave the voices of more expert cultural members into dialogues with themselves. When puzzling, difficult, or stressful circumstances arise, children call on this private speech to guide and control their thinking and behavior. In addition to providing clear roles for parents and teachers, Berk also offers concrete suggestions for creating and evaluating quality educational environments–at home, in child care, in preschool, and in primary school–and addresses the unique challenges of helping children with special needs. Parents, Berk writes, need a consistent way of thinking about their role in children’s lives, one that can guide them in making effective child-rearing decisions. Awakening Children’s Minds gives us the basic guidance we need to raise caring, thoughtful, intelligent children. |

Brain Lateralization in Children: Developmental Implications $198.03 Functional differences between the left and right hemispheres early in life have been well documented over the last 2 decades. There has been much speculation about how these brain asymmetries affect mental development in children. Are early hemispheric differences important for normal development? Can they be used to predict long-term outcomes or disabilities, such as delayed language or learning disabilities? Do children with abnormal patterns of lateralization develop normally? Toward answering such clinically relevant questions, BRAIN LATERALIZATION IN CHILDREN is a comprehensive summary of state-of-the-art research on cerebral asymmetries in developmental psychology and education. A complete single-volume reference, each section in this outstanding book provides an overview of the issues, describes relevant research techniques, and critically reviews the literature. Almost every chapter has a literature review table that gives the reader a comprehensive summary of work done to date. Topics covered include: * BASIC PHYSIOLOGICAL ISSUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES–such as the role of corpus callosum growth, pre- and perinatal experience, brain maturation, and early unilateral brain damage on the development of functional asymmetries * THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LATERAL BRAIN ORGANIZATION AND A NORMAL CHILD’S INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL, AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT * THE ROLE OF HANDEDNESS IN DEVELOPMENT * DEVELOPMENTAL DIFFICULTIES–such as reading and learning disabilities, depression, deafness, delayed language development, and autism The most detailed and comprehensive volume ever published on the theme, BRAIN LATERALIZATION INCHILDREN is an invaluable resource for developmental psychologists, consultants in educational settings and clinics, and researchers in psychobiological development, developmental neuropsychology, and cognitive/emotional development.

Checking Up on Daddy! $10.41 Family reading from a father’s voice is an area of children’s books that I feel has been overlooked. My book, Checking up on Daddy, reveals a jubilant and endearing concept in literature for children ages two to four years. Checking up on Daddywas spawned by the “handoff” that many dads experience upon their return home from a long workday. For those who may not know, the handoff is the moment when tired Mom meets Dad at the front door to pass the child along. During the first year in caring for my son, Ethan, the handoff was accompanied by a rhythmic verse my wife would chant while following me around the house. At the very core, this story embraces the magic of those fleeting moments one experiences with an infant before the next stage of childhood arrives.My images combine a traditional, off-beat pen-and-ink style for line quality with digital ink and color. This unique style serves to illuminate the warmth and lighthearted energy of the story and its characters.My son’s love for books is testimony to how vital the ritual of family reading is in the fledgling years of child development. It is my hope that Checking up on Daddywill inspire parents to seize those passing yet vital moments with their children.Adam J. Roth is a Southern California-based writer and illustrator. His goal is to promote family together time through reading. He has produced work in various forms of media, including TV animation, DVD key art for feature film, and published book illustrations. He is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and presently lives in Pasadena with his wife and son.Adam Roth has created a book that captures the joys and overwhelming love of a parent for their child. It should be a “must read” for new parents. Not just for themselves, but for them to read to the children. It will help demonstrate just how much this love bonds families together. The story has humor, but it also has the magic of parent/child relations. It is |

ChildDance: The Healing Art of Movement, Music, and Play with Young Special Needs Children $2.88 ChildDance is one therapist’s journey working with six very young special needs children (ages birth through three years) and their families.Imagine there is no one in the world with whom you can communicate. All your attempts to reach out and make sense in the world are thwarted because there is no one who understands your language. This is a normal event in child development. Yet the child with disabilities has less adaptive skills than other children her age. Attempts are more frustrating. To make matters worse, the whole circle of communication between adult and child becomes thwarted as parents and therapists, instead of reading nonverbal cues accurately, misjudge them and send the whole communication circle spiraling downward. The character, the pacing, the whole theatre of our play and movement with young children is extremely important. As we believe children must learn to speak, we adults, parents and therapists, must learn to play. It’s not that adults are not well meaning. Very many are. It’s just that most adults have no idea “how to be” in the child’s preverbal world. It is to this preverbal task that ChildDance is addressed. It describes one therapist’s encounter with six different children with special needs, how child development theory and practice is woven together to form a fabric for preverbal communication. |

Children at Play: Using Waldorf Principles to Foster Childhood Development $12.95 Imaginative play is more vital for a child’s future than many parents and educators realize. The more they are allowed to be absorbed in their play, the more fully and effectively they will later take their place in the community of adults. Drawing on her experiences as a mother and as a proponent of Rudolf Steiner’s Waldorf system of education, author Heidi Britz-Crecelius emphasizes the different qualities of play that may extend through more than one phase of childhood. She focuses on natural materials and recommends specific games, toys, and art supplies that further the mobility of the mind and the powers of expression without the burden that premature schooling can place on children. In Children at Play, the author also reminds us that the human being, though bound by laws of space and time and tied to the earth, stems from eternity and belongs to a much larger community; the child’s innermost being is directly related to the all-embracing world of spirit.German-born Heidi Britz-Crecelius worked on the city council of Völklingen for more than fifteen years, concerning herself primarily with facilities for children. A strong supporter of Steiner’s principles, she has three sons who have attended Waldorf schools. |

Cognitive Analytic Therapy: Developments in Theory and Practice $104.95 Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a fast-growing therapy remarkable not only for its integrative approach and power but also for its applicability in the context of brief therapy. Since Anthony Ryle developed the concepts of CAT in the early 1980s there has been an enormous demand for training in this method, from psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and counsellors, as well as from other health professionals caring for disturbed patients in community settings. This book reviews the history and essential features of CAT, offers a ’state-of-the-art’ detailed description of practice, and continues the conceptual development of the field with discussion of the relationship of the CAT model to cognitive and analytical therapies, and to recent research in early child development. It includes authoritative accounts of the application of CAT to eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, self-harm problems, and to group work. Research into CAT is reviewed and, in the final chapter, Anthony Ryle looks forward to likely developments of research and practice in Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Trainees and practitioners will find this book a stimulating update on developments of the CAT model and a useful, practical guide to applying CAT in important problem areas. This book appears in The Wiley Series in Psychotherapy and Counselling Series Editors: Franz Epting, University of Florida, USA Bonnie Strickland, University of Massachusetts, USA and John Allen, City University, London, UK |

Coming of Age in Ancient Greece: Images of Childhood from the Classical Past $23 What was childhood like in ancient Greece? What activities and games did Greek children embrace? How were they schooled and what religious and ceremonial rites of passage were key to their development? These fascinating questions and many more are answered in this groundbreaking book-the first English-language study to feature and discuss imagery and artifacts relating to childhood in ancient Greece. Coming of Age in Ancient Greece shows that the Greeks were the first culture to represent children and their activities naturalistically in their art. Here we learn about depictions of children in myth as well as life, from infancy to adolescence. This beautifully illustrated book features such archaeological artifacts as toys and gaming pieces alongside images of them in use by children on ancient vases, coins, terracotta figurines, bronze and stone sculpture, and marble grave monuments. Essays by eminent scholars in the fields of Greek social history, literature, archaeology, anthropology, and art history discuss a wide range of topics, including the burgeoning role of childhood studies in interdisciplinary studies; the status of children in Greek culture; the evolution of attitudes toward children from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period as documented by literature and art; the relationships of fathers and sons and mothers and daughters; and the roles of cult practice and death in a child’s existence. This delightful book illuminates what is most universal and specific about childhood in ancient Greece and examines childhood’s effects on Greek life and culture, the foundation on which Western civilization has been based.Author Biography: Jenifer Neils is Ruth Coulter Heede Professor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University. John H. Oakley is chair of the department of classical studies, Chancellor Professor, and Forrest D. Murden Jr. Professor at the College of William and Mary.

Creating Brain: The Neuroscience of Genius $23.95 Michelangelo was raised in a rustic village by a family of modest means. Shakespeare’s father was a middle-class businessman. Abraham Lincoln came from a family of itinerant farmers. Yet all these men broke free from their limited circumstances and achieved brilliant careers as creative artists and leaders. How such extraordinary creativity develops in the human brain is the subject of renowned psychiatrist Nancy Andreasen’s The Creating Brain.Andreasen explains here how the brain produces creative breakthroughs in art, literature, and science, revealing that creativity is not the same thing as intelligence. She scrutinizes the complex factors involved in the development of creativity, including the role of patrons and mentors, “non-standard” educations, and the possession of an “omnivorous” vision. A fascinating interview with acclaimed playwright Neil Simon sheds further light on the creative process.The relationship between genius and insanity also plays an important role in Andreasen’s examination. Drawing on her studies of writers in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and other scientific evidence, Andreasen asserts that while creativity may sometimes be linked to mental disorders and may be partially due to familial/genetic factors, neither is inevitable nor needed for creativity to flourish.Scientist’s increasing understanding of the brain’s plasticity suggests even more possibilities for nurturing the creative drive, and Andreasen looks ahead to exciting implications for child-rearing and education. The Creating Brain presents an inspiring vision for a future where everyone—not just artists or writers—can fulfill their creative capacity. |
