The Anxious Generation How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness [electronic resource] : by Haidt, Jonathan.aut; cloudLibrary;

From New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind, an essential investigation into the collapse of youth mental health—and a plan for a healthier, freer childhood. “An urgent and provocative read on why so many kids are not okay—and how to course correct." —Adam Grant “A crucial read for parents of children of elementary school age and beyond, who face the rapidly changing landscape of childhood.” —Emily Oster “Every single parent needs to stop what they are doing and read this book immediately."—Johann Hari After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. Why? In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood. Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children—and ourselves—from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.

Born to eat : whole, healthy foods from baby's first bite / by Schilling, Leslie.; Peterson, Wendy Jo.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."For thousands of years, humans have thrived without "baby food" (which was invented in the late nineteenth century). Think about it: the human race has made it this far largely on whole food. Only in recent decades have we begun overthinking and over-processing our foods, which has led to chronic dieting, chronic disease, disordered eating, body distrust, and epidemic confusion about the best way to feed ourselves and families. Eating is an innate skill that has been overcomplicated by marketing schemes and a dieting culture. It's time to leave the dieting culture behind for the whole family. It starts with the baby's first bite! We are all Born to Eat and it seems only natural for us to start at the beginning-with our babies. When babies show signs of readiness for solid foods, they can eat almost everything the family eats and become healthy, happy eaters in the process. By honoring self-regulation (also an innate skill) and focusing on a whole food foundation, we can foster healthier children, parents, and families. You don't have to cook another entire meal to feed just baby, nor blend everything you eat into a puree to support healthy growth in an infant. With a little patience, presence, and skill, you can transform nearly any family meal into a baby-friendly food. Who knew a little planning could have the whole family eating together, and better? Aside from the United States, most countries are accepting of babies starting of solids with the foods of the family. With a focus on self-feeding and a baby-led weaning approach, nutritionists and wellness experts Wendy Jo Peterson and Leslie Schilling provide age-based advice, step-by-step instructions, help for parents, and easy recipes so you can ensure that your infant is introduced to healthy and tasty food as early as possible"--Provided by publisher.LSC

Her concerns grow as communal child care begins and the other parents show their true colors. Apartment Women traces the lives of four women in the apartments, all with different aspirations and beliefs.

Un día, la niña decide que ha llegado el momento de enseñarle a Achuchones que tiene que respetar su espacio y entender que no se puede tocar a otra persona sin su permiso. En ocasiones, la inocencia y el desconocimiento de los niños les impiden detectar situaciones de abuso y de falta de consentimiento, por lo que debemos enseñarles desde temprana edad que su cuerpo es suyo, que hay partes de él que son PRIVADAS y que nadie puede tocarlos sin SU PERMISO. Y si en algún momento no se sienten cómodos, deben decir NO, porque quien nos quiere nos respeta y nos cuida.

Huggy the Monster loves giving hugs, especially to his friend... But sometimes, she doesn't feel like being hugged. One day, the little girl decides it's time to teach Huggy that he must respect her space and understand that you can't touch another person without their permission. Sometimes, children's innocence and lack of knowledge prevent them from detecting situations of abuse and boundaries being overstepped, so we must teach them from an early age that their body is theirs, that there are parts of it that are PRIVATE, and that no one can touch them without THEIR PERMISSION. And if at any moment they feel uncomfortable, they should say NO, because those who love us respect and care for us. Pediatrician and educator Mar López, with over a million followers on social media, offers here an illustrated book that explains to young children in a clear and simple manner what boundaries and consent are. Through the story of Huggy the Monster, both children aged 4 and up and adults will learn essential concepts about boundaries, because consent knows no age.
