All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten MSC 23

Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder.

All Kids Count: Child Care and the Americans with Disabilities Act S/P 05

While most parents struggle to find affordable, quality child care, the parent of a child with a disability struggles to find any program which will accept his or her child. The 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act opened a new and exiting world for families of children with disabilities. These families can have the same privileges others have enjoyed for years. Child care centers and family child care homes have the opportunity to open their doors wide to welcome all children. Prior to ADA passage, care for many children with disabilities was limited to family, friends or special disability-only child care centers. Current research has proven that all children develop better in inclusive environment. This guide is designed to help child care providers successfully include children with disabilities in regular child care environments in compliance with Title III of the ADA. It offers an overview of the law, as well as practical solutions to common problems and advice to ensure success in caring for children with disabilities.

Allergies and the Hyper-Active Child SPH 08

This is a nontechnical book that not only answers questions most often asked about allergy and hyperactivity, but also suggests ways in which these problems may be alleviated. If your child is hyperactive or if he or she continually complains of fatigue, listlessness, a runny nose, muscle aches, or headaches - and has not responded to drugs commonly used to treat these problems - he or she may indeed have allergy-related ailments. Dr. Rapp provides parents with the means to discover whether this is so. A simple one-week elimination diet is the starting point. Should food allergy be indicated, Dr. Rapp suggests alternate food plans to enable parents to detect offending foods and food groups. Once the offending item is discovered, adjustments in diet can be made. Dr. Rapp also offers suggestions on how to make one's home as allergy-free as possible.

An Exceptional View of Life MSC 09A

What if you had been a child with a disability? What if you had never been able to walk or dress yourself? What if your eyes couldn't focus properly, or your speech slurred, or you took so long to express your thoughts that you were always left far behind? What if your parents, worried that you might hurt yourself, wouldn't let you play with your friends and you always had to watch from the sidelines? Because you were you, you felt left out - angry, helpless - a loser. And then, one day, someone said, "You're not a loser!" Some people offered to help you learn how to move and strengthen those legs and arms. They showed you how to practice so that you could speak more distinctly. They helped you find ways to cope with your handicaps and to overcome them. And when it seemed that you couldn't possibly do it, there was always the touch of a hand or a warm voice telling you that you could. And you did! And you began to feel like a winner. This book has been created by hundreds of disabled children who, with a helping hand, have all become winners. They have earned one of life's greatest rewards - pride in a job well done.
