MANUAL PARA SU PRIMERA ESTIMULACION VISUAL

El Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, un experto en adicciones, nos expone un sobrecogedor argumento: la tecnología está afectando profundamente el cerebro de nuestros hijos y no precisamente para mejor. En Niños Pantalla (Glow Kids) el Dr. Kardaras examina cómo la tecnología y en concreto la tecnología de las pantallas en edades inapropiadas, con toda su omnipresencia brillante, está afectando profundamente a los cerebros de toda una generación entera. Las investigaciones a través de imágenes cerebrales demuestran que la sobrestimulación que producen las pantallas resplandecientes es tan dopaminérgica (activa la dopamina) para el centro de placer del cerebro como el sexo. Y un creciente número de investigaciones clínicas correlacionan la tecnología de las pantallas con trastornos como el TDH, la adicción, la ansiedad, la depresión, el incremento de agresividad e, incluso, la psicosis. En este libro, Kardaras se adentra en los factores sociológicos, psicológicos, culturales y económicos que participan en la epidemia tecnológica global con un objetivo fundamental: examinar el efecto que toda nuestra maravillosa y radiante nueva tecnología está teniendo sobre los niños.

Parents everywhere worry when their baby or toddler doesn't seem to eat as much as they think he should. Carlos Gonzalez, a paediatrician and father, sets those fears to rest as he explores the reasons why a child refuses food, the pitfalls of growth charts, and the ways that growth and activity affect a child's caloric needs. He discusses how eating problems start and how they can be avoided. My Child Won't Eat includes mother's stories of the anguish and torment they have gone through in trying to get their children to eat. Carlos Gonzalez reassures parents that children know how much they need to eat and explains why a parent's only involvement should be providing healthy food choices. Forcing a child to eat more than he needs can only lead to teats, tantrums, and eventually, possibly even obesity. Questions Carlos Gonzalez answers include: Why won't my child eat? How much does a child need to eat? Why don't children like vegetables? What does it mean to breastfeed on demand? When should my baby start to eat solid foods?

For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement.The Handbook guides readers through the fields rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource.Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include:Engagement across developmental stages.Self-efficacy in the engaged learner.Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation.The engaging nature of teaching for competency development.The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents.Comparing methods for measuring student engagement.An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.

This volume discusses the importance of positive schooling in producing responsible and potentially productive adults. Students are generally more motivated to do well and to realize their full potential in schools that have a positive schooling climate, where they feel safe, included and supported. Nevertheless, the reality in today''s schools is very different. This volume discusses the major challenges faced by children and adolescents in schools, including problems with curricula, safety issues, lack of inclusive policies, non-availability of teachers, ineffective teaching, insensitivity towards students issues, improper evaluation methods, harmful disciplinary measures, and so on. Experts in child psychology and education discuss these issues at length in this volume and offer viable solutions for policymakers, school administrators, teachers and parents to make suitable changes and create a positive atmosphere in educational institutions. This volume further discusses the role of various stakeholders---school principals, teachers, counsellors and psychologists---in addressing these challenges. In addition, it raises other, emerging issues which have not been covered in previous volumes on this topic and offers evidence-based suggestions to address them. The intended readership of the volume is researchers and students of psychology, education, sociology, social work and public health, and school teachers, administrators and teacher-trainers.
