Описание: Understanding Gifted Children: Perspectives, Gender Differences and Challenges is about exploring and finding the best ways of matching educational and psychological means and methods for each gifted child. The book tries to help the reader understand the different educational, emotional or social needs of various gifted children, those considered "highly-gifted" and the others who are perceived as "mildly-gifted"; children who are interested in science and others who tend to the humanities or to arts; chess Olympic champions or child-musicians or actors. The first chapter offers an extended case study of the early life of a gifted girl, born to an Orthodox family in the early 50s: "my own life story from birth to adulthood. I describe the origins of my own giftedness, my educational and social path that helped me to become a giftedness expert in spite of all obstacles." The second chapter describes the different ways gifted education is applied in the educational systems of three German-speaking European countries, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and offers ways to improve them. Creativity is the subject of the third chapter; gender differences in creativity have been a major concern of hundreds of scholars a both feminists and giftedness researchers a for many decades. This chapter summarizes the most updated knowledge in this area. The fourth chapter is about gifted children with ADHD. The high occurrence of them stresses the need for more research and more case studies available to teachers, headmasters or mistresses, scholars, psychologists and psychiatrists. The chapter is a substantial contribution providing accessibility to such needed knowledge. The fifth chapter is aimed primarily at teachers, but it can also be useful to mental health professionals. It unravels the innovative concept of future thinking, elaborating on the suitable learning space proposed for gifted and able students at elementary and secondary schools named LIFTS centers. It then addressed teaching-learning using a Multidimensional Curriculum Model (MdCM) explaining its conceptual framework, construction and components, thinking skills developed, and curriculum design. The last chapter describes all families seeking my help for their gifted daughters in the year 2014. All girls described in this chapter had the opportunity to participate in gifted classes or other activities for the gifted, but most of them chose not to. This chapter is a "closing comparison" between the first chapter describing an Ultra-Orthodox girl whose family did not prevent her from doing what she wanted to in spite of social prejudices, financial difficulties, fears and even shame. Most girls described in chapter 6 had not materialized their potential due to lack of parental support needed in order to "have it their own way".

Описание: It's surprisingly common for children and adolescents to play with fire and to actually set fires. A single fire has the potential to cause a cascade of serious consequences to children, families, and their community, sometimes with devastating impact. Yet, there is limited practical information and evidence-based advice available to help programs and practitioners with children and adolescents who engage in this behavior. Assessment and Intervention with Children and Adolescents Who Misuse Fire presents practical guidelines to facilitate the clinical assessment and treatment of youth firesetting. Based on nearly four decades of research and intervention experience, the treatment is directed toward reducing any inappropriate involvement in fire or related activities in order to lower the risk for property damage, personal injury, and other adverse consequences associated with these behaviors. This evidence-based intervention provides clinicians with a comprehensive program for school-aged children, early adolescents, and adolescents, and the child and his/her caregiver(s) are both important participants in treatment. The modular approach allows for therapists to be flexible in deciding which topics to cover in order to best meet the needs of children and families. This treatment model encourages more appropriate and safe behaviors in both children/adolescents and their caregivers and provides skills likely to discourage fire involvement. In addition, the materials promote controlling exposure to incendiary materials and opportunities to use fire. The intervention is provided in a single volume, encompassing a practitioner guide, parent workbook, and child/adolescent workbook, including handouts for participating clients.

Описание:
Chinese academic traditions take zuo ren--self-fulfillment in terms of moral cultivation--as the ultimate goal of education. To many in contemporary China, however, the nation seems gripped by moral decay, the result of rapid and profound social change over the course of the twentieth century. Placing Chinese children, alternately seen as China's greatest hope and derided as self-centered "little emperors," at the center of her analysis, Jing Xu investigates the effects of these transformations on the moral development of the nation's youngest generation.
The Good Child examines preschool-aged children in Shanghai, tracing how Chinese socialization beliefs and methods influence their construction of a moral world. Delving into the growing pains of an increasingly competitive and changing educational environment, Xu documents the confusion, struggles, and anxieties of today's parents, educators, and grandparents, as well as the striking creativity of their children in shaping their own moral practices. Her innovative blend of anthropology and psychology reveals the interplay of their dialogues and debates, illuminating how young children's nascent moral dispositions are selected, expressed or repressed, and modulated in daily experiences.
