子どもへの性加害は、心身に深い傷を残す卑劣な行為だ。

In The Orchid and the Dandelion, Dr W. Thomas Boyce - one of the world’s foremost researchers in the field of paediatric health - presents findings that children have two very different responses to their environments. While some children are like dandelions and can thrive in almost any environment, there are others who, like orchids, are much more reactive and susceptible to their surroundings. Now we finally have a scientific framework to understand these children and how to address their unique needs to help them find their fullest potential.

What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. For the first time in American history, our sons will have less education than their dads. It's a crisis of mental health. As boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of sexuality. Sex is a minefield for our sons. They're bombarded with mixed messages, afraid of being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

The Highly Sensitive Parent is the only audiobook of its kind, written specifically for parents who think deeply about every issue affecting their kids, experiencing strong emotions as a result and face unique stressors that do not impact parents without high sensitivity. Parenting is the most valuable and rewarding job in the world, and also one of the most challenging. This is especially true for highly sensitive people. 

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character.

Why America's sons are underachieving, and what we can do about it. Something is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere 20 years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. In Boys Adrift, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than 20 years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home.

In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world’s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do.

Focusing on the lived experience of campers and camp counselors, The Jews of Summer demonstrates how a cultural crisis birthed a rite of passage that remains a significant influence in American Jewish life.

A difficult home life. A missed diagnosis. A disrupted education. Falling in with the wrong crowd. Every year thousands of children fall through the cracks in our society and become victims of a destructive cycle that ends in exploitation, violence, and lost life chances. As Commissioner for Children in England, Anne Longfield CBE witnessed the devastating effects of this cycle as vulnerable young people were failed by systems too underfunded and overstretched to protect them. Young Lives, Big Ambitions is a plan to fix our broken system and give every young person the chance to succeed.

Las infancias son libres. Deben serlo. En esta serie volvemos a ser niñes gracias a ensayos escritos con las manos, pero también con el corazón, tomando la ternura radical como fuerza erradicadora del adultocentrismo.

As administrators, teachers, and parents struggle to help children make sense of our racially and politically polarized nation, Hagerman offers concrete examples of the kinds of interventions necessary to help kids learn how to become members of a multi-racial democracy and to avoid the development of far-right thinking in the white youth of today. Children of a Troubled Time expands our understanding of how the rising generation grapples with the complexities of racism and raises critical questions about the future of American society.

Der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater Michael Elpers schlägt Alarm: Immer mehr Kinder und Jugendliche leiden an Depressionen, Essstörungen, Angsterkrankungen oder Lernstörungen. Doch die sozialen Ursachen dafür werden sowohl von den Medien als auch vom Gesundheits- und Bildungssystem weitgehend ignoriert - die Verantwortung wird oftmals allein den Eltern zugewiesen. Dieses Buch eröffnet eine Debatte, die - nicht erst seit der Pandemie - längst überfällig ist.

The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.

By defending children’s rights, we protect the heart of every child and set a course that will decimate a myriad of the social ills currently plaguing our world.

Albert Einstein no aprendió a leer hasta los siete años ni a hablar con fluidez hasta los nueve, su maestra lo calificó como "mortalmente lerdo". Le costó sangre, sudor y lágrimas acceder a la Escuela Politécnica... después de conseguirlo y finalizar su carrera, su tesis doctoral no causó la más mínima impresión al tribunal que la juzgó, de hecho, la consideraron "bastante mediocre". A pesar de ello Einstein acabó convirtiéndose en uno de los científicos más geniales del mundo, y como él, muchos genios en los más diversos ámbitos fueron también malos estudiantes: 

Die Audio-Dokumentation mit bislang ungehörten O-Tönen der jungen Christiane F. (15): "Auf der einen Seite wusste ich, dass irgendwann einmal ein Wendepunkt in meinem Leben kommen wird. Das heißt aber auch, dass ich eben vielleicht noch ein paar Mal auf die Schnauze fliegen muss bevor es soweit kommt." West-Berlin in den 70ern: In dem Gemisch aus Abschottung, Kunst, Kultur, Politik und Drogen entstehen Parallelgesellschaften mit einmaligen Möglichkeiten, aber auch neuen Gefahren.

Si su hijo ha de pensar adecuadamente, necesita que le enseñen a pensar. Si ha de resolver problemas, necesita adquirir la habilidad de resolverlos.

Big emotions can be overwhelming for your child...and your family. They can cause your child to miss school or avoid interaction with their favorite people and places. For both the parent and the child, every day can be a struggle. Family coach and metaphysician Kat Mulvaney is no stranger to the emotions children face. She has worked extensively with parents who have been told their child can no longer attend school or that their child’s out-of-control emotions are to blame for their troubling behavior. 

They are a mass migration of thousands, yet each one travels alone. Solito, Solita (Alone, Alone) is an urgent collection of oral histories that tells - in their own words - the story of young refugees fleeing countries in Central America and traveling for hundreds of miles to seek safety and protection in the United States. Fifteen narrators describe why they fled their homes, what happened on their dangerous journeys through Mexico, how they crossed the borders, and for some, their ongoing struggles to survive in the United States.
