A volume in Lifespan Learning Series Editors: Paris Strom, Auburn
University, and Robert D. Strom Arizona State University Parents
feel that a fast-paced lifestyle requires constant hurry to
complete the next task and causes them to lose control over how
time is spent. This environment makes it more difficult to build
relationships with their children and teach them to honor
priorities, care about others, maintain health, manage conflicts,
and achieve balance. Our cross-cultural studies of families have
found that the most important gift parents can give their children
is spending time together. Being together without multitasking or
other interruptions increases sharing, in depth conversations,
learning, and closeness. This book shows how to prepare children
for school by providing the following experiences. Parents have a
new obligation, introducing their children to the Internet. Parent
and child Internet visits are presented for each chapter with
guidelines for teaching online. Information about child development
stages are provided for parents on additional Web sites. You can
link to these Web sites at Information Age Publishing http:
//www.infoagepub.com/stromyoung- children Parents and children
spend more time watching television together than doing other
things. Conversation questions are provided as a tool that parents
can use to find out how children interpret events they see and
detect learning needs. Children will more likely become creative
adults if they receive support for imagination and curiosity.
Examples illustrate the merits of playing alone, playing with
friends, and pretending with parents. Boys and girls like bedtime
stories and are motivated to read when they see parents read for
pleasure. Children's books that are recommended for discussion
reinforce values parents hope to convey. Parents are responsible
for teaching foundation lessons about socialization. Methods are
described to foster development of child self-control, getting
along with others, managing fears, and setting goals. Parents
benefit from feedback on how well their goals and practices reflect
principles of child development. A parent self-evaluation form
includes questions and answers to identify personal strengths and
learning needs. This book is for parents, grandparents, and other
educators of young children ages 3 to 8.
