Book Description
A powerful, neuroscience-based approach to revolutionize early childhood learning through natural creativity, strong human connections, spontaneous free play, and more. All children are born wired to learn and to love. As young children explore the world and interact with others, their brains can naturally develop in incredible ways. And yet, despite our best intentions, early education often fails to fully encourage this natural learning and empathy. The Natural Laws of Children draws on current research in childhood development to share powerful insights on how to enhance learning for all kids, regardless of income or access to resources. This book tells the story of Céline Alvarez’s pioneering work in early childhood education. Over three years in a low-income school, Alvarez’s students achieved exceptional results in math and reading, as well as outstanding social and emotional skills. The Natural Laws of Children shares, in a clear and accessible way, the main scientific principles that underpin human learning to revolutionize early childhood education by supporting strong human connections, spontaneous free play, and more.

Book Description
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *By reading this summary, you will discover how to use the main principles of learning and human development to offer an alternative education to children and make them educated and responsible citizens of the future. Céline Alvarez conducted an experiment in a nursery school in Gennevilliers, based on a great principle: autonomy. Here are her conclusions. *You will also discover : that the environment within a classroom, when it is adapted, promotes learning; that we learn best by being active and by doing what motivates us; that the teacher's role is to help the child organize his knowledge; that the child goes through different sensitive periods of specialization; that without exchange and relationships, human intelligence cannot develop. *40% of children leave elementary school unmotivated and without basic knowledge. Yet, we are all capable of this learning. For Céline Alvarez, this failure is linked to the fact that all human beings do not learn in the same way. The child learns by doing, and this, from birth. Inspired by the work of pedagogues, neuroscience research and cognitive psychology, Céline Alvarez tells how to set up environmental and pedagogical invariants, allowing children to use their full potential, to learn with ease and joy. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

In this enduring classic, rich with deep, original insight into the nature of early learning, John Holt was the first to make clear that, for small children, "learning is as natural as breathing."

Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Children and the Law presents cutting-edge scholarship on a broad range of topics covering the life course of humans from before birth to adulthood, by leading scholars in law, medicine, social work, sociology, education, and philosophy, and by practitioners in law and medicine. An international collection of authors presents and analyzes the law and science pertaining to reproduction; prenatal life (including fetal exposure to toxic substances and abortion); parentage (including biology-based rights, background checks on birth parents, adoption, the status of gamete donors, and surrogacy); infant development and vulnerability; child maltreatment (including corporal punishment and religious defences to abuse and neglect); child protection policy and systems; foster care; child custody disputes between parents or between parents and other caregivers; schooling (including financing, resegregation, religious expression in public schools, at-risk students, special education, regulation of private schools, and homeschooling); delinquency; minimum-age laws; and child advocacy. Most chapters follow a format wherein they first describe the most debated or dynamic issues in each topical area, then explain in depth the law and/or science pertaining to the author's particular focus, and finally offer arguments and recommendations as to law and policy in that area. The normative component aims to advance discussions and debates in vital areas of contemporary child welfare law and policy. The Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and professionals interested in the intersection of children and the law.
