A Népmesekincstár módszertanának gyakorlati kézik?nyve a mindennapokban kipróbált, 49 mesefoglalkozás részletes leírását tartalmazza. A 3–8 éves korú gyerekeket nevel? pedagógusok számára nyújt hasznos segítséget a sokoldalú, élmény- és ?r?mk?zpontú fejlesztésben. A témák szerint rendszerezett, a Népmesekincstár els? (Itt vagyok, ragyogok!) és második (Járom az új váramat) k?tetében található népmesék aranyfonalára mondókákat, népi játékokat és azok leírásait f?ztük. A tiszta forrásból merített dalok kottákkal szerepelnek, a találós kérdések, a kézm?ves- és alkotó folyamatok pedig komplex egységet képeznek a t?bbi elemmel. ?Nagyszer? munkaeszk?ze lesz ez a k?nyv mindenkinek, aki óvodásokat és kisiskolásokat szeretne nevelni-tanítani a népmesékkel – ahogy Bajzáth Mária teszi nagy sikerrel évtizedek óta.” (Dr. Merényi Hajnalka tanszékvezet?, ELTE Tanító- és ?vóképz? Kar) ?Bajzáth Mária mesefoglalkozásai igazi élményt jelentenek a pedagógusoknak is, segítik ?ket abban, hogy visszataláljanak a mesékhez. A feln?tt élménye alapozhatja meg a gyermek ?r?mét." (Dr. Nyitrai ?gnes tanszékvezet?, Kaposvári Egyetem Pedagógiai Kar) ?Ez a k?nyv gazdagító módszertani anyag, mely lehet?séget ad arra, hogy a játékok ?r?me által a gyermekeink számára is befogadhatóbbá tegyük ezt az élni segít? és élni tanító világot.” (Józsa ?va egyetemi docens, Nyugat-magyarországi Egyetem, Benedek Elek Pedagógiai Kar) A Népmesekincstár hét k?tetb?l álló sorozata, melyet Bajzáth Mária mesepedagógus válogat, ?t korosztálynak gy?jti ?ssze a világ népmeséit: 0–4 éves, 4–6 éves, 6–8 éves, 8–10 éves gyerekeknek és a 11 éven felülieknek. A szül?k és pedagógusok számára egyaránt hasznos gy?jteményeket a Népmesekincstár mesepedagógiájának két, a korosztályok igényeit k?vet? módszertani k?tete kíséri.

Te mit áldoznál fel, hogy teljesülj?n az álmod? Catherine boldog házasságát csak a gyermektelenség árnyékolja be. A sikertelen próbálkozások végül kapcsolatuk végéhez vezetnek. A fiatal n? feladja a harcot, és elengedi párját, hogy ne k?sse ?t egy gyermektelen élethez. Magányos ?nsajnálatba burkolózik, nem találja helyét a világban. Ekkor ismerkedik meg Calebbel, akivel lassan szerelem alakul ki k?ztük, de saját gyermek iránti vágyakozása nem hagyja nyugodni. Vajon az új kapcsolat elég er?t ad Catherine-nek, hogy újra merjen a családalapításra gondolni? A férfi z?r?s múltja miatt annak ellenére sem felh?tlen a boldogságuk, hogy úgy t?nik, ez alkalommal sikerrel jár a beültetés. A sors még további megpróbáltatásokat tartogat számukra. Katie Francoise fordulatokban gazdag második k?nyvében személyes tapasztalatait felhasználva ír arról, mennyi áldozatot képes meghozni egy n?, hogy elérje a célját, és saját gyermeke lehessen.

Folyamatosan áll a bál otthon? Gyermekünket reggelente képtelenség kiimádkozni az ágyból, majd id?ben útnak indítani az iskola felé? Este kizárólag hosszas fenyeget?zéssel és alkudozással vehet? rá, hogy nekilásson a leckének, mik?zben szinte lehetetlen elvonszolni a számítógép el?l? Ha valami nem úgy van, ahogy szeretné, r?gt?n dacolni kezd, nyafog, hisztizik, mire persze bennünk is felmegy a pumpa? Volt egyáltalán egy nyugodt napunk mostanában? Itt az ideje, hogy legyen! Susan Stiffelman, a neves pszichoterapeuta állítja: a kényszer csak ellenállást és konfliktusokat szül. A Gyereknevelés hatalmi harcok nélkül arra buzdít, hogy álljunk át gyermekünk oldalára.

Ha er?s támaszként állunk csemeténk mellett a legválságosabb pillanatokban is, ha értékeljük egyedi tulajdonságait, ha képesek vagyunk a jelenben élni és ?rülni az együtt átélt pillanatoknak, hamarosan úgy fogjuk érezni: gyermekünket kicserélték. Csempésszük vissza a békét mindennapjainkba! Susan Stiffelman a kaliforniai Malibuban él? család-, házasság- és okleveles pszichoterapeuta, a The Huffington Post nagyra becsült szül?i életvezetési tanácsadója. ?tmutatásai a világ minden táján emberek életét változtatják meg.

To love your wife is good; to love your State is good, too.But if it comes to a question of survival, you have to love one better than the other. Also, better than yourself. It was simple for the enemy; they knew which one Aron was dedicated to....The thunder of the jets died away, the sound drifting wistfully off into the hills. The leaves that swirled in the air returned to the ground slowly, reluctantly.The rocket had gone. Aron Myers realized that he was looking at nothing. He noticed that his face was frozen into a meaningless smile. He let the smile slowly dissolve as he turned to look at his wife. She was a small woman, and he realized for the first time how fragile she was. Her piquant face, framed by long brown, flowing hair, was an attractive jewel when set on the plush cushion of civilization. Now her face, set in god-forsaken wilderness, metamorphosed into the frightened mask of a small animal. They were alone. Two human beings alone on this wild, lonely planet. Aron's mind suddenly snapped from that frame of reference—his subjective view of their position—to the scale of galaxies. It was a big planet to them, but it was a marble in the galaxy that man had discovered and claimed, and was now fighting with himself to retain. This aggregate of millions of pebbles was wracked with the violence of war, where marbles were more expendable than the microbes that dwelt on them.The two walked hand in hand away from the meadow where the ship had been. The feeble wind snuffled at the scraps of paper and trash, the relics of man's passing.They walked up the hill to their station, the reason for their being on this wayside planet.

Autism is a childhood condition ... right? Not right. Children with autism grow into adults with autism. The great strides we have made in understanding childhood autistic behaviors and interventions have lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics.

What of the aging adult who is showing increasingly rigid autistic behaviors and is misdiagnosed as having frontotemporal dementia??Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults is a one-of-a-kind resource designed to improve the correct diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in adults. Filled with clinical stories that bring to life the concepts discussed, the book provides strategy-based interventions to address issues of personal and household management, medical care, communication, sensory processing symptoms, and emotional and behavioral regulation.

Tender Is the Night is a novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was his fourth and final completed novel, and was first published in Scribner's Magazine between January and April 1934 in four issues. The title is taken from the poem "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. In 1932, Fitzgerald's wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was hospitalized for schizophrenia in Baltimore, Maryland. The author rented the La Paix estate in the suburb of Towson to work on this book, the story of the rise and fall of Dick Diver, a promising young psychoanalyst, and his wife, Nicole, who is also one of his patients. It was Fitzgerald's first novel in nine years, and the last that he would complete. The book reveals the detrimental days of Fitzgerald's past as he lives out his last remaining years with his wife, Zelda. The novel almost mirrors the events that take places as characters are pulled and put back into mental care, and the male figure, Dick Diver, starts his descent into alcoholism. While working on the book, several times he ran out of cash and had to borrow from his editor and agent and write short stories for commercial magazines. The early 1930s, when Fitzgerald was conceiving and working on the book, were the darkest years of his life and, accordingly, the novel has its very bleak elements that he experienced himself. On the pleasant shore of the French Riviera, about half way between Marseilles and the Italian border, stands a large, proud, rose-colored hotel. Deferential palms cool its flushed fa?ade, and before it stretches a short dazzling beach. Lately it has become a summer resort of notable and fashionable people; a decade ago it was almost deserted after its English clientele went north in April. Now, many bungalows cluster near it, but when this story begins only the cupolas of a dozen old villas rotted like water lilies among the massed pines between Gausse's H?tel des ?trangers and Cannes, five miles away. The hotel and its bright tan prayer rug of a beach were one. In the early morning the distant image of Cannes, the pink and cream of old fortifications, the purple Alp that bounded Italy, were cast across the water and lay quavering in the ripples and rings sent up by sea-plants through the clear shallows. Before eight a man came down to the beach in a blue bathrobe and with much preliminary application to his person of the chilly water, and much grunting and loud breathing, floundered a minute in the sea. When he had gone, beach and bay were quiet for an hour. Merchantmen crawled westward on the horizon; bus boys shouted in the hotel court; the dew dried upon the pines. In another hour the horns of motors began to blow down from the winding road along the low range of the Maures, which separates the littoral from true Proven?al France.A mile from the sea, where pines give way to dusty poplars, is an isolated railroad stop, whence one June morning in 1925 a victoria brought a woman and her daughter down to Gausse's Hotel. The mother's face was of a fading prettiness that would soon be patted with broken veins; her expression was both tranquil and aware in a pleasant way. However, one's eye moved on quickly to her daughter, who had magic in her pink palms and her cheeks lit to a lovely flame, like the thrilling flush of children after their cold baths in the evening. Her fine forehead sloped gently up to where her hair, bordering it like an armorial shield, burst into lovelocks and waves and curlicues of ash blonde and gold. Her eyes were bright, big, clear, wet, and shining, the color of her cheeks was real, breaking close to the surface from the strong young pump of her heart. Her body hovered delicately on the last edge of childhood—she was almost eighteen, nearly complete, but the dew was still on her. As sea and sky appeared below them in a thin, hot line the mother said:"Something tells me we're not going to like this place.""I want to go home anyhow," the girl answered. ? ABOUT AUTHOR: ? F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the major American writers of the twentieth century -- a figure whose life and works embodied powerful myths about our national dreams and aspirations. Fitzgerald was talented and perceptive, gifted with a lyrical style and a pitch-perfect ear for language. He lived his life as a romantic, equally capable of great dedication to his craft and reckless squandering of his artistic capital. He left us one sure masterpiece, The Great Gatsby; a near-masterpiece, Tender Is the Night; and a gathering of stories and essays that together capture the essence of the American experience. His writings are insightful and stylistically brilliant; today he is admired both as a social chronicler and a remarkably gifted artist.
