Wisdom's Children
Author: Lin Northrup
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595414907
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
While in meditation, I sensed the familiar urging of my inner voice, and reached for a pen. "Children are arriving in vast numbers to assist in the crossover to an enlightened age. They are a new prototype of human being, and their 'soul' purpose is to help humanity return to love." Wisdom's Children describes a new generation of highly sensitive children whose heightened vibration and consciousness can bring about a transformation in the hearts of humanity. It blends metaphysical information the author received intuitively with her experiences as a teacher and a parent. She has witnessed the beauty of these children as they struggle to adapt to a world and an outmoded educational system that doesn't recognize their expanded perceptions and abilities. "The young beings among you carry an intuitive knowledge of universal truth and reflect your deepest longing as spiritual beings: to live in harmony with each other and the earth." Today's high vibrational children require a new understanding of child development. They need parents and educators who will nurture their universal way of thinking and multisensory gifts, so they can manifest their vision of global cooperation and peace.

Challenging the Conventional Wisdom about Residential Care for Children and Youth
Author: Bruce B. Henderson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003809634
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Is residential care 'inherently harmful'? This book argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong and is, itself, harmful to a significant number of children and youth. The presumptive view is based largely on overgeneralizations from research with infants and very young children raised in extremely deprived environments. A careful analysis of the available research supports the use of high-quality residential care as a treatment of choice with certain groups of needy children and youth, not a last resort intervention. The nature of high-quality care is explored through child development theory and research and two empirically supported models of care are described in detail. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of child development, child welfare, youth work, social work and education as well as professionals working within these fields.

Social and Physical Ecologies for Child Resilience: Wisdom from Asia and Africa
Author: Haibin Li
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832538940
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Since Emmy Werner and her team discovered on the Hawaiian island of Kauai the “invincible” children who fared well despite exposure to significant household risks, there has been proliferating research on child resilience as a positive response to adverse conditions. The past five decades have seen significant advancements in, and diverse approaches to understanding challenges, facilitative factors, and positive outcomes in the resilience process that involve children. Despite existing and continuously emerging modelings and framings, there appears a common understanding that child resilience unfolds through the interactions between individuals and the environments surrounding them. This Research Topic, therefore, takes an ecological approach to child resilience. While ecologies constitute social spaces that nurture child resilience, they can also refer to the “physical” environments surrounding children. There has been robust empirical evidence suggesting resilience is a shared capacity of the individual and the social ecology (e.g., families, schools, and communities), and more recently of the individual and the physical ecology (e.g., the built or natural environment).
