For over fifteen years, researchers have described a crisis in our nations' early learning classrooms. Hundreds of children are expelled from childcare and preschool every day; a rate nearly three times that of kindergarten-twelfth grade students. Each child's expulsion is symptomatic of a larger crisis—an overburdened, underfunded, undervalued, and fragmented early education system. No Longer Welcome starts a critical conversation between and across sectors of the early childhood field.

Mehr als jedes vierte Kind in Schule, Kita und Krippe ist (hoch)sensibel. Sie haben es besonders schwer, sich zurechtzufinden, und durch die Pandemie ist ihr Leidensdruck weiter gewachsen. Ihre Eltern leiden mit, sind ratlos und frustriert. Häufig leidet auch ihre Beziehung zum Kind. Kathrin Borghoff, Mutter eines hochsensiblen Kindes und selbst hochsensibel, hilft Eltern, die Stärken ihrer (hoch)sensiblen Kinder in Schule und Kita zu fördern und Probleme aufzufangen bzw. gar nicht erst entstehen zu lassen. Denn Eltern und Kinder haben viel mehr Möglichkeiten zur Mitgestaltung als sie denken.

Take hope! Emotions are not the enemy. They can serve you and your child as a teacher. Let them inform you but not rule you. Let those emotions be a source to guide you, not simply a hurdle to cross so everyone can move forward with their lives. Allow them to show what is important to you and your child: joys, sorrows, fears, values, and even the very heart of who you are and the dreams of who you hope to be. David Vick–a grandfather, educator, and therapist–shares stories and encouragements to help you understand and harness emotions so your relationship can thrive.

The title “mind control” is only half joking. I won’t tell you to swing a watch, say magic words, or bulge your eyes like Dracula. But you can influence the students’ behavior by tapping into their subconscious impulses. Based on what you do and say, you can influence students without them realizing it’s happening. It's like pushing buttons in their brains. There's nothing mystic about it, just some psychological tricks and common sense.

Sind Ihre Kinder nahe am Wasser gebaut oder haben zu viele Sonderwünsche? Wissen Sie nicht, wie Sie Ihrem Kind und dessen Emotionalität und Wutanfällen begegnen sollen?

If you're reading this, you are probably a concerned parent. Like many of us, we often wonder about our ability to raise competent, happy, and resilient children. After all, parenting is difficult and every child is unique, with needs that show up differently at various stages of development. So, how do we know what is normal?

Parenting struggles are universal. No matter your parenting dilemma, you will find the guidance you are looking for in this collection.

Quins són els límits que cal posar als fills i filles i, sobretot, com s'han de posar és una de les preocupacions de moltes famílies. El paradigma de criança tradicional, que tirava d'autoritarisme, d'arbitrarietat i del «perquè ho dic jo» no serveix quan les mares i pares volem establir una relació amb els fills i filles basada en el respecte mutu i la connexió. Tanmateix, ens falten referents i, a més, ens trobem amb una altra dificultat: sovint no tenim clars els nostres propis límits i, sense base pròpia, fem aigües.

Every parent will agree if you tell them that parenting is an emotional roller coaster. You love your kids so much, but caring for them can be frustrating and even “scary”. When you’re a parent who is trying to console a screaming kid in a convenience store, every possible action you take at that moment creates a big impact on the child. A young kid’s brain is still in the process of growing, so as a parent, you have to be very careful with how you discipline your kids.

Up until your child reaches eight years old, their brain takes in all of the information around them as being true. They believe every statement you make and use your behaviors and attitudes toward them as a template for how relationships ought to be. This information is stored in their subconscious mind, and informs what they believe to be true about themselves. Creating Winners is an empowering book that guides new and experienced parents on how to raise children who are confident and have a healthy self-perception.

What do you want your child to be? There is no one way to raise a child. Each child is unique and can vary in so many ways in abilities and behaviour from others in their group. Ramgopal Vallath, indebted to his own parents for an upbringing that has helped him overcome great challenges and...
