A Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) teacher and student of
pioneering child specialist Magda Gerber, Janet Lansbury helps parents
look at the world through the eyes of their infants and relate to them
as whole people who have natural abilities to learn without being
taught. Once we are able to view our children in this light, even the
most common daily parenting experiences become stimulating
opportunities to learn, discover, and connect with our child.
A collection of the most-read articles from Janet's popular and
long-running blog, Elevating Child Care focuses on common infant
issues, including:
- Nourishing our babies' healthy eating habits
- Calming your clingy, fearful child
- How to build your child's focus and attention span
- Developing routines that promote restful sleep
Eschewing the quick-fix tips and tricks of popular parenting culture,
Lansbury's gentle, insightful guidance lays the foundation for a
closer, more fulfilling parent-child relationship, and children who
grow up to be authentic, confident, successful adults.
A child's sensory system affects their ability to learn, play,
socialise and function. Maybe a child isn't able to sit still in
class because his shirt tag is bothering him. Or a child isn't able
to play with other children because his balance is off and other
kids make him feel unstable and dizzy. Beginning with the age of
five, Britt and Jackie walk parents through everyday situations and
duties all the way through your child's elementary years. They
explain the underlying reasons beneath your child's negative
behaviours and the often simple fixes (sometimes not so easy, but
steps that will lead you towards success). Parenting can be less
stressful when you're not struggling with your child's sensory
systems.
When parenting, teaching and working with children who have social,
emotional, and/or sensory sensitivities, we often put the emphasis
on learning new skills. Countless hours are spent working on social
skills, fine- and gross-motor skills, language skills, and academic
skills, but stress management skills are often left unaddressed.
This is unfortunate, as stress can create a multitude of challenges
for learning and daily living. In other words, it can create
barriers to the very things we are trying to teach. Besides, it can
cause distress, which can lead to meltdowns and behavioural
outbursts. In short, it is crucial that children learn and develop
skills to help them to manage their stress as independently as
possible. Totally Chill: My Complete Guide to Staying Cool is a
stress management workbook that is meant to be read, completed, and
used as much as possible by children themselves. Its fun graphics
and interactive style make it ideal for children grades 3 through
middle school. Everyone feels stress - adults and children alike.
It's part of life. But life can be a lot easier when we learn new
skills and ideas to help us handle the stress in our lives.
"Your Child's Motor Development Story "is written by an
occupational therapist who describes for the everyday parent how
BEST to help their kids develop. She takes them from birth to
crawling, all the way to their first sports. Problems like
slouching are tackled from lack of core strength, along with more
pervasive coordination difficulties that many children face. Any
new parent, and their kids, will gain from this book.
In 2016, the Janeway Childrens Health and Rehabilitation Centre --
"The Janeway" to most -- celebrated 50 years of operation. For 43
of those years, Dr Rick Cooper has been a paediatrician at the
hospital, helping thousands of sick children from across
Newfoundland and Labrador. This book peels back the hospital
curtains and peeks through the ward doors, introducing readers to
the many people who have worked at this unique hospital. It also
delves into the fight to build the original Janeway at a time of
bleak provincial finances, and follows its evolution into a leading
modern teaching hospital, responsible for elevating the standard of
health care up to or surpassing national levels.

How do you know if homeschooling is right for you and your

and needs?
How should a family get started?

organizational skills when teaching a child with ASD?

The One Minute Father is the seminal One Minute book. A man who sees that he has been a better provider than parent learns by trial and error how to be more nurturing. He first learns a more effective way to discipline -- applying One Minute Reprimands. Then his children help him discover two even more important parenting methods -- One Minute Praisings and One Minute Goals. Using these practical methods, a father develops more confidence in himself as a parent, as he and his children enjoy a happier family life. The One Minute Father begins where most father are and takes them to where they want to be.
