The 50 Fantastic Ideas series is packed full of fun, original,
skills-based activities for Early Years practitioners to use with
children aged 0-5. Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a
list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills
children will learn. Creative, simple, and highly effective, this
series is a must-have for every Early Years setting. There has
always been emphasis placed on personal, social and emotional
education, particularly in the Early Years. Emotionally resilient
children are well equipped to deal with the challenges they may
face, and this resilience reflects a range of skills, strengths and
characteristics acquired and refined throughout one's life. Over
the last ten years, Jillian Harrison-Longworth has planned and
delivered a wide range of short but focused activities that can be
used to develop aspects of emotional resilience across five key
areas: confidence, self-image, self-esteem, perseverance and
cooperation. This book contains refined activities for each of
these crucial sections that most commonly arise in schools and
settings. 50 Fantastic Ideas for Developing Emotional Resilience
provides short but snappy practical activities as starting points
for practitioners to develop emotional resilience in the children
they work with.
A New York Times Bestseller! Who was at the forefront of women's
right to vote? We know a few famous names, like Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what about so many others from
diverse backgrounds--black, Asian, Latinx, Native American, and
more--who helped lead the fight for suffrage? On the hundredth
anniversary of the historic win for women's rights, it's time to
celebrate the names and stories of the women whose stories have yet
to be told. Gorgeous portraits accompany biographies of such fierce
but forgotten women as Yankton Dakota Sioux writer and advocate
Zitkala-Sa, Mary Eliza Church Terrell, who cofounded the National
Association of Colored Women (NACW), and Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, who,
at just sixteen years old, helped lead the biggest parade in
history to promote the cause of suffrage. Finish the Fight! will
fit alongside important collections that tell the full story of
America's fiercest women.
14-year-old Max only has one person he can really talk to. Her name
is Ana - also known as anorexia, his eating disorder. Max writes to
Ana every day. She feeds on his fears, encouraging him to lose more
and more weight. For Christmas, Max gets an unusual present from
his older brother Robin: a geocache. He hides it in the forest near
their house, thrilled by the anonymity it gives him. Anyone can
leave Max a note - and soon, he gets one from the mysterious 'E'.
Could it be the Evie, the new girl at school, playing tricks on
him? In the midst of a family crisis, Max's eating disorder quickly
deteriorates. Ana pulls him further and further away from his
family and friends, until he feels totally alone. Can anyone help
him find a way out? Drawing on debut author Samuel Pollen's own
experiences, this is an unforgettable, uplifting story of one boy's
battle with anorexia.
Drawing on interview data, the authors describe K-3 students'
knowledge and thinking about basic aspects of the social world that
are addressed in the elementary social studies curriculum. The
interviews focused on human activities relating to nine cultural
universals that are commonly addressed in the elementary social
studies curriculum: food, clothing, shelter, communication,
transportation, family living, childhood, money, and government.
This volume synthesizes findings from the research and discusses
their implications for curriculum and instruction in early social
studies.
"Children's Thinking About Cultural Universals" significantly
expands the knowledge base on developments in children's social
knowledge and thinking and, in addition, provides a wealth of
information to inform social studies educators' and curriculum
developers' efforts to match instruction to students' prior
knowledge, both by building on already developed valid knowledge
and by addressing common misconceptions. It represents a quantum
leap in the availability of information on the trajectories of
children's knowledge about common topics in primary elementary
social studies education.

centers a narrower range of available services in the local area
increased poverty levels for the elderly a stronger dependency by
elderly on family rather than public assistance This book is

concept of rurality and examines the demographics of aging from a
rural perspective Practice Dimensions of Social Work with Rural
Eldersincludes clinical practice models, intervention and advocacy

in place, specialized housing, and ethical practice Training and
Policy Recommendationsfuture training and education recommendations

building, the aging network, and the future of long-term care While

enhance your abilities to improve quality of life for elderly
individuals in rural communities. Each chapter contains a
comprehensive review of the literature on the subject it addresses,
and several chapters include tables and graphs to further establish
their revealing empirical findings. An appendix provides additional
