Parents And Caregivers

When the Growing Wisconsin Readers early literacy initiative (growingwisconsinreaders.org) began in 2013, the focus was straightforward: help parents and caregivers read effectively with babies, toddlers, and young children. As this multiyear initiative passes the halfway mark, it is clear that this simple idea has sprouted, branched, and bloomed in bountiful ways. Not only has the early literacy message reached the original audience, but the project has established and enriched state, regional, and local partnerships.

Spelman, Cornelia, When I Feel Worried. Illus. Kathy Parkinson. Chicago : Albert Whitman & Company, 2013. Print.In When I Feel Worried, readers follow a young guinea pig’s transformation from being full of worry and uncertainty, to being happy, engaged, and confident. Through the main character, the book’s creators, Cornelia Maude Spelman and Kathy Parkinson, identify situations that can induce worry, explore the physical and cognitive dimensions of the emotion, normalize these feelings, and introduce common practical strategies to reduce worry and anxiety.Author, Cornelia Spelman, uses simple, descriptive vocabulary suited to young children’s comprehension level, and presents examples to which they can relate. Children’s book illustrator, Kathy Parkinson, combines pale backgrounds with water colour illustrations outlined in black crayon. Her playful use of colour, pattern, and texture create a vibrant tableau. Although animals act as surrogates for humans in this book, Ms. Parkinson manages to portray very human expressions in the story’s animal characters. The colourful illustrations, positive messages, and relevant examples will appeal to young children. Prior to becoming a full-time children’s author and artist, Ms. Spelman was a clinical social worker. Her background as a therapist with children and families comes through in her work on When I Feel Worried. Ms. Spelman includes an introductory note to parents and teachers, framing anxiety as something that affects everyone, including children, and provides practical strategies for supporting young children as they manage their anxiety.Ms. Spelman and Ms. Parkinson have collaborated on numerous children’s works, including eight books that comprise the How I Feel Series; When I Feel Worried is the most current of these. Their literary works for young people have been translated into multiple languages.Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Maria TanMaria C. Tan is a medical librarian at the Abdul Khaliq Library in Alberta Health Services’ Cross Cancer Institute and a former editorial team member of the Deakin Review. She firmly believes that children's literature is an essential component in the fountain of youth.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected employment, particularly for mothers. Many believe that the loss of childcare and homeschooling requirements are key contributors to this trend, but previous work has been unable to test these hypotheses due to data limitations. This study uses novel data from 989 partnered, US parents to empirically examine whether the loss of childcare and new homeschooling demands are associated with employment outcomes early in the pandemic. We also consider whether the division of childcare prior to the pandemic is associated with parents’ employment. For parents with young children, the loss of full-time childcare was associated with an increased risk of unemployment for mothers but not fathers. Yet, father involvement in childcare substantially buffered against negative employment outcomes for mothers of young children. For parents with school-age children, participation in homeschooling was associated with adverse employment outcomes for mothers but not fathers. Overall, this study provides empirical support for the current discourse on gender differences in employment during the pandemic and also highlights the role fathers can play in buffering against reduced labor force participation among mothers.

Anthropological Approach

After completing two degrees in anthropology I wondered (as most graduates do) what I was going to do with a B.A. and M.A. in anthropology. Living in an isolated part of Israel (the southern Arava) my options were limited. There was only one small community college forty minutes away, so teaching anthropology on an academic level was a viable option but not as a full time job. I had focused my M.A. thesis on researching the socializing function of play and games among socially deprived children in a boarding school in Israel and discovered that I enjoyed working with children. Somehow I wanted to find a way of combining my love for children with my desire to pursue a career in anthropology. What did the anthropological approach have to offer children and how could I put forward this approach in a way that children could grasp?

Parents And Caregivers

Children experience a wide range of emotions, from happiness and excitement to anger and disgust. When children are happy, their caregivers encourage their expression of happiness and often join in to share this emotion with them. Yet when they are angry, afraid or disgusted, often children are encouraged to suppress or change their emotions. This is particularly true of the emotion of fear. While parents and caregivers currently employ a variety of strategies to respond to fear in young children, some of these methods may be positioning children in ways that increase their fears or invalidate their feelings of fear altogether. Well-intentioned parents and caregivers may be unaware of the effect that messages such as ‘there's nothing to be afraid of’ or ‘don't worry, you're safe with me’, could have on children. This article examines a range of adult responses to children's fears and the effectiveness of these responses.

ABSTRACT Background The sense of smell is very influential in the taste of foods. If the smell pleases us, we anticipate the taste of the food with a great deal of relish. If our sense of smell is impaired, so is our taste. The effect of appliance on taste perceptions has always had a controversial subject. Materials and methods The present study was designed to analyze the change in taste perception in children using removable orthodontic appliances. All the selected volunteers were given different taste stimuli and were asked to score as per their perception. The verbal score was calculated based on the correct and incorrect taste stimuli given to them. Visual analog scale was used to assess intensity and hedonic (palatability) estimation of the volunteers. Results The volunteers from both study and control groups scored different values for taste stimuli. The majority of stimuli were estimated correctly by both groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the study and control groups. Conclusion In different testing sessions, the scoring of the volunteers was nearly constant, indicating that an appliance does not play a major role in the alteration of taste stimuli. Clinical significance The appliance brings about transient change in taste perception, we should educate the patient before delivering the appliance about the transient change in taste perception and encourage full-time wear of the appliance, including during meals, without fear of affecting taste sensations.
