Children and the Changing Family Between Transformation and Negotiation


Free Download An-Magritt Jensen, Lorna McKee, "Children and the Changing Family: Between Transformation and Negotiation"
English | 2003 | pages: 189 | ISBN: 0415277736, 0415277744 | PDF | 0,9 mb
This timely and thought-provoking book explores how social and family change are colouring the experience of childhood. The book is centred around three major changes: parental employment, family composition and ideology. The authors demonstrate how children’s families are transformed in accordance with societal changes in demographic and economic terms, and as a result of the choices parents make in response to these changes. Despite claims that society is becoming increasingly child-centred, this book argues that children still have little influence over the major changes in their lives.

English | ISBN: 1607412365 | 2009 | 98 pages | PDF | 1290 KB
Parents can help their children learn to read. The effectiveness of parents’ help, however, varies according to the type of parent-child activities. Educators, when deciding which type of intervention to implement, will have to weigh the differences in effectiveness across the different types of intervention against the amount of resources needed to implement the interventions. The information in this book comes from many research studies that examined early literacy development. This book contains a summary of what scientific research says about how children learn to read and write, and also discusses the things you can do with your child at different grade levels to help him become a reader. What to look for in quality day-care centres and pre-schools to help your children become readers is examined as well.
