Reseña del editor:
It’s completely natural to become a parent; it’s anything but natural to raise a child. In A Parent’s Primer, early childhood professional Janet Munson shares some of the tips that at first glance may seem simple, rational and logical, but it’s not uncommon to suddenly realize that in the family construction the “tail is wagging the dog” and thoughtful considerations have been abandoned. Munson’s lessons, tips and stories are simple, logical and rational, yet not always natural for young parents to follow, especially when they are in the throes of the typical day-to-day chaos that rules a family. However, when a parent incorporates these learnings into the daily interactions they have with their children, they will soon discover that family life doesn't have to be crazy and uncontrollable. With just a little planning and discipline, parents will find that life with young children can be smooth, simple and fun. The easy-to-read pages contain tips and true stories that Munson has compiled over the years. Use this book as a parenting road map to help your children grow up with a strong sense of balance and love that they will be able to pass along to their children as well.
Biografía del autor:
Janet Munson is a lifelong early childhood professional who credits her own intelligent and nurturing parents for getting her started on her early childhood education. She learned a lot as a popular babysitter in her neighborhood, and later from the work/study program at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and her graduate work and employment took place in many arenas that affected the future of young children. Munson taught at several age levels before settling into what became her passion: early childhood education. Teaching in, and then directing child care centers eventually led her to administrative efforts opening onsite centers for employers who recognized the importance of attracting workers by offering exceptional child care. Her later years took her into countless academic early childhood venues as a consultant as well as a validator for programs that sought to become accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Throughout her lifetime, Munson played a significant, leadership role in raising hundreds, if not thousands of young children -- personally and professionally -- by helping parents and teachers learn some basic techniques as early childhood caregivers. As she entered into retirement, she started making notes about what she had seen in the many child care situations that she came into contact with throughout her career. She shares these stories and tips with heartfelt love and compassion for what parents and caregivers face on a daily basis and hopes that by reading and following these simple techniques, young caregivers will be paving the way for their families to benefit not only today, but for generations to come.
