Handbook of Parenting
Despite the fact that most people become parents and everyone who has ever lived has had parents, parenting remains a most mystifying subject. Who is ultimately responsible for parenting? Does parenting come naturally, or must we learn how to parent? How do parents conceive of parenting? Of childhood? What does it mean to parent a preterm baby, twins, or a child with a disability? To be a younger or an older parent, or one who is divorced, disabled, or drug abusing? What do theories in psychology (psychoanalysis, personality theory, and behavior genetics, for example) contribute to our understanding of parenting? What are the goals parents have for themselves? For their children? What are the functions of parents’ beliefs? Of parents’ behaviors? What accounts for parents’ believing or behaving in similar ways? What accounts for all the attitudes and actions of parents that differ? How do children influence their parents? How do personality, knowledge, and world view affect parenting? How do social status, culture, and history shape parenthood? How can parents effectively relate to schools, daycare, their children’s pediatricians? These are some of the questions addressed in this second edition of the Handbook of Parenting . . . for this is a book on how to parent as much as it is one on what being a parent is all about.

финансовому просвещению дошкольников. Дети и деньги. Казалось бы, что у них может быть общего? Тем не менее, финансовая грамотность является важной составляющей в способности выживать современном мире, а в будущем - тем более.
Kids are growing up in a world where financial smarts are must. More and more of us are investing in the stock market and controlling our own retirement funds. We finance our homes, cars and education. Just as we teach our young children the basics in so many areas – eating right, the alphabet, games – so too does it make sense to give them the tools that can lead to good financial habits and leadership and life skills.
In the speсial issue, we’ve broken down financial education into 10 essential building blocks – preschooler-style – to help give your child the tools he or she will need to copmpete and succeed in the world. We hope you enyoj these activities as you play with and teach your young child – with a little help from Sesame Street friends. The time spent may pay off down the road in many different ways. You can bank on it!
