Book Description
Table of Contents Introduction Attitude of Parents Encouraging Creativity Communicating with Your Children Reading to Your Children Earning Your Child’s Trust Eating Together Parents As Role Models Natural Rebelliousness in Children Other Influences Making Do with Compromises Rules of behavior Reasoning with Small Children Bargaining and Threats Not Eating Properly Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Bringing up a child is no sinecure. In fact, responsible parents are very afraid that they may possibly not be bringing up their child in a proper manner. There is a difference between allowing your child to grow up, and you bringing them up. Good parenting is not something that you are going to learn from books. It comes out of experience. This book is going to give you plenty of information about how you can raise really responsible, morally strong, remarkable and praiseworthy children. I remember an instance, when I went on a family excursion with a couple of my relatives, and their children were along too. The children were smart, witty, good-natured, intelligent, high-spirited, self-confident, considerate, and well behaved. During most of the trip, I noticed other people also present during that trip looking at these children admiringly. Most of them must have been feeling how the parents had managed to bring up these well-balanced and happy kids. The parents were reassured that these children were living up to their potential and would become well-balanced adults, and successful in any field they chose. In fact, they were kids, of which any parent could be proud. When confronted with such examples, your first instinct is to ask, how is that these children have turned out so well? Has it something to do with having intelligent and responsible parents? Has it something to do with the gene line? Or has it everything to do with the upbringing? What did the parents do or not do while they were bringing up these youngsters? What did parents have to do to raise kids as remarkable as these children, I had encountered in the family excursion, all three of them, all brilliant, good-looking, smart, humorous and sensible. Being a parent yourself, you are also going to be eager and keen to know the answers to these particular questions. Well, I decided to go around asking all my friends and acquaintances, all of them experienced parents, and got commonsense information, tips, techniques, and methods of bringing up children in a proper manner.

Proper English
Author: Tony Crowley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135081395
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
First published in 1991. Debates about the state and status of the English language are rarely debates about language alone. Closely linked to the question, what is proper English? is another, more significant social question: who are the proper English? The texts in this book have been selected to illustrate the process by which particular forms of English usage are erected and validated as correct and standard. At the same time, the texts demonstrate how a certain group of people, and certain sets of cultural practices are privileged as correct, standard and central. Covering a period of three hundred years, these writers, who include Locke, Swift, Webster, James, Newbolt and Marenbon, wrestle with questions of language change and decay, correct and incorrect usage, what to prescribe and proscribe. Reread in the light of recent debates about cultural identity - how is it constructed and maintained? what are its effects? - these texts clearly demonstrate the formative roles of race, class and gender in the construction of proper ‘Englishness' . Tony Crowley's introductory material breaks new ground in rescuing these texts from the academic backwater of the 'history of the language' and in reasserting the central role of language in history.

The First 20 Hours
Author: Josh Kaufman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101623047
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.
