Three expert researchers in prevention and risk behavior offer strategies for strengthening family relationships in this book.

Los padres que lloran en la almohada Helen Flix

How many parents have drowned in their pillows, feeling powerless in regards to their children? This book provides tools to redirect the relationship between parents and children, to know and guide them to meet their own expectations they hold themselves. Children are born naked and needy, completely dependent on the maternal and paternal functions. Family is an important institution as the heart, and the type (single parent, homosexual, or heterosexual), plays a role in the construction of the child’s core personality and social skills. We must not forget, however, that children are not only extensions of ourselves, but their own persons. The reflections and resources you will find in this book will urge you to look inside yourself to find energy and motivation to try again. It is never too late to fix the relationship and love you share with your children; they will want the same.

Yoga has proven to be one of the most effective spiritual and physical workouts. It eliminates tension, physical aggression, and stress and facilitates concentration and self-control.

Most driving literature for parents focuses on how to teach a teen to drive, without explaining why teen driving

Summary

is so dangerous in the first place or giving parents a plan to preempt the hazards teens face. By contrast, No tan rápido empowers and guides parents to understand the causes and situations that most often lead to teen crashes and to take specific, proactive steps—before and each time a teen driver gets behind the wheel—to counteract them. This authoritative guide tackles hot button issues such as texting and distracted driving, parenting attitudes (conscious and unconscious), and teen impairment and fatigue—and includes a combination of topics not found in other teen driving guides, such as:

l How brain development affects driving l Why driver’s ed does not produce safe drivers l How and why to prepare a “flight plan” for each drive before handing over the keys l How and when to say no

Proceeds from the sale of this book support the Reid Samuel Hollister Memorial Fund, which subsidizes infant

and toddler education in greater Hartford, Connecticut, and worthy traffic safety causes.

Tim Hollister became a national authority and spokesperson for safer teen driving after losing his 17-year-old son Reid in a car crash in 2006. He served on a Connecticut state task force that overhauled his state’s teen driving laws; is the creator of From Reid’s Dad, a national blog for parents of teen drivers; and regularly makes appearances on television and radio. He was awarded the 2012 AAA Southern New England Traffic Safety Hero of the Year Award as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation National Public Service Award, the nation’s highest civilian award for traffic safety.

Disciplina con amor para abuelos Una segunda oportunidad para amar Rosa Barocio

In a time of great changes in the family dynamic, this book is dedicated to grandparents, whose tendency is to spoil—a word that can have different connotations. When used as an expression of love and unconditional acceptance, it nourishes and strengthens a grandchild’s emotional well-being. Spending time with grandparents becomes a treat rather than a chore. But when the spoiling begins to get out of hand, a lack of self-control, no limits when it comes to disrespect, or acting against the wishes of the parents—this type of spoiling is harmful. Grandparents who spoil in this manner contribute to the development of demanding, fussy, rude grandchildren. In a society in which mothers more and more commonly work and grandparents play an increasingly important role in child care, being a grandparent offers a second chance to love in a mature, generous, yet responsible manner.

Remedios naturales para una infancia saludable Todas las terapias para cuidar la salud de tus hijos Lourdes Prat

Natural remedies have been used to cure illnesses and ailments since the beginning of time. The reason they are still in use today is because they are effective, are beneficial, and have fewer undesired side effects than pharmaceutical medications. However, author Lourdes Prats recommends not abandoning medicine altogether, but rather using natural remedies alongside treatment prescribed by pediatricians or family doctors, whose instructions should always be followed. In this complete, detailed, practical guide, Prats presents different natural therapies—homeopathy, flower elixirs, color therapy, music therapy, chiropractic—and indicates illnesses for which they are most effective. A section of the book describes the most common health issues that afflict children and the different natural remedies and products that can help treat them.

Ideas creActivas para educar Enrique Sánchez Rivas

To teach, we have to know more about the subject but also more about teaching. This book provides the most relevant theories about the science of teaching, through anecdotes, examples, and reflections on daily work in the classroom. Each tale of experience leads to practical knowledge, alongside its own theoretical abstraction from traditional teaching manuals, and proposes different strategies to use at home or in class—creative, active ideas, produced and verified in real situations and meant to be implemented rather than just read. The book is complemented by the online blog Ideas CreActivas. Teaching with creativity is teaching for change. Creativity helps people grow into original, flexible, initiating, confident risk-takers ready to tackle obstacles and problems that present themselves in their daily lives at school and elsewhere. The tools for innovation described in this book help develop the educational process and make better use of individual and group resources.

A resource for educators that will prove attractive and engaging for students between ages three and five, Bolsitas raras is a collection of short, original fairy tales that depict a variety of fears—including the fear of traveling, the fear of school, and the fear of growing older. The stories and the fears they represent are color-coded, thus allowing for targeted discussion and education.

La urdimbre sexista Violencia de género en la escuela primaria Emilia Moreno Sánchez

Featuring the experiences of several girls who have been the victims of abuse and violence, this exploration argues that in the face of what is a growing and serious social problem, it’s necessary to change from a model in which power relations and hierarchies are prioritized toward one that emphasizes dialogue, liberty, and mutual respect in the economic, cultural, and educational spheres. The research backing this study was spurred by the belief that the seeds of gender inequality and violence are planted early on in child development and the conviction that these can be combated at that level as well. The guidelines and tools for action provided in the book are as useful for educators as they are for families, who will be able to recognize and work against violence against their daughters.

Disciplina con amor en el aula Tocando el corazón de tus alumnos. Guía para maestros Rosa Barocio

What happened to students who used to respect and admire their teachers? What does it mean to be a good teacher? Do they come prepared every day? Are they popular with the students? Being a good teacher has never been easy, but in this day and age, teaching has become an even greater challenge. Anyone can stand in front of a group of students and call themselves a teacher, but only a handful merit the name. To be a teacher in its entirety is a privilege that you earn through assisting your students' growth while helping them apply themselves. Our society urges teachers to be flexible, open, and interested in a world with rapidly changing technology and how it is applied in the classroom. Rosa Barocio, with practical advice and a sense of humor, dedicates this book to teachers invested in revamping their teaching styles and not settling to be a great teacher, but an extraordinary one. They understand the responsibility they hold and that since their students look up to them, it’s their job to inspire them.

Dichos y proverbios José Luis González Díaz

The result of an extensive and meticulous gathering process, this compilation contains a wealth of Spanish folk sayings and proverbs. In these pages, readers will find and recognize vocabulary, expressions, and idioms that have been in use for generations, including Andar a la caza de grillos (“To go hunting for crickets,” or to be worried with matters of little concern) and A mal tiempo, buena cara (literally “Greet bad weather with a good face”—or put a brave face on a situation). Though some phrases have fallen into disuse, the majority continue to be touted as common wisdom. Both kinds, however, comprise an extensive compendium that serves as evidence of an ever-evolving culture and, most importantly, a rich linguistic heritage.

La sustancia de la voz Manual práctico de voz hablada para locutores, oradores y actores de doblaje José Antonio Meca, Eva Gutiérrez (EvaLí)

Our distinct voices are the result of an authentically monumental process, a miraculous part of nature that makes us unique. To know your own voice is a form of understanding yourself. Actors, singers, public speakers—they know that their voices result from constant learning but also from emotions, feelings, doubts, fears, and pleasures. Each one of our words is tinged with feeling. The voice is communication, particularly self-communication. To manage it with solvency is less a virtue or innate ability than a matter of persistence and patience. This guide to developing the full expanse of your voice helps you improve communication with useful tools and practical exercises.

José Antonio Meca is a voice actor, a broadcaster, a radio journalist, and a professor of speech, voiceover, and dubbing at the University of Granada.
