Criar desde el corazón: Soluciones honestas de la infancia a la adolescencia
by Beatriz M. Muñoz Nitdia AznárezTras el éxito de sus libros anteriores, Beatriz M. Muñoz y Nitdia Aznárez, traen Criar desde el corazón, una guía familiar para educar de forma más consciente, a través de la simbiosis de Montessori, la disciplina positiva y la conexión con uno mismo y la naturaleza. En este nuevo enfoque, ofrecen herramientas y soluciones respetuosas para que nuestros pequeños sean más autónomos y responsables, y especialmente para que cada miembro de la familia encuentre su lugar, y así, crezcan sintiéndose vistos y amados de forma incondicional. Para ello, es necesario que las personas adultas cultivemos también la conexión con nuestro niño interior, porque si queremos enfrentarnos a los retos diarios y a las necesidades de nuestros hijos e hijas desde la honestidad, tendremos que empezar por cuidarnos y comprendernos a nosotros mismos. Con este completo manual, aprenderemos a dejar atrás los castigos, los premios y todas las prácticas que no cultivan el amor incondicional, y a construir un entorno seguro, alentador y de calma familiar para nuestros hijos, desde su primera infancia hasta su adolescencia, sin perder el foco de la compasión y la benevolencia hacia nosotros mismos.

Criar sin miedo
by Miguel EspecheUn libro para recuperar la esencia de esa difícil y a la vez maravillosa tarea de ser padres. Hay una sabiduría oculta en todos los padres, y un objetivo de este libro es ayudar a que tomen conciencia de ella. Esta sabiduría sólo es accesible cuando el miedo no avanza sobre la vida familiar de manera avasallante, como lo está haciendo en estos tiempos. Si el miedo guarda el lugar que le corresponde, el amor (y, por ello, la inteligencia) puede expresarse de la mejor manera. Miguel Espeche, licenciado en psicología y terapeuta clínico, nos invita a entrar en un espacio de encuentro, donde es posible compartir las experiencias y descubrir recursos para acompañar a los hijos sin culpas, sin miedos, disfrutando de los roles de madres y de padres. La confianza en los hijos, la autoridad como instrumento del amor, el desarrollo de la intuición, la comprensión de las emociones propias y de la familia, son algunas de las ideas que recorren Criar sin miedo, una obra nacida de las charlas, talleres y conferencias que Miguel Espeche viene compartiendo con madres y padres desde hace más de diez años.

Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool (The ParentData Series #2)
by Emily OsterFrom the author of Expecting Better, The Family Firm, and The Unexpected an economist's guide to the early years of parenting.&“Both refreshing and useful. With so many parenting theories driving us all a bit batty, this is the type of book that we need to help calm things down.&” —LA Times&“The book is jampacked with information, but it&’s also a delightful read because Oster is such a good writer.&” —NPR With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting. As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision? Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn't always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they're ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren't necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time. Economics is the science of decision-making, and Cribsheet is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert—and mom of two—who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions—and stay sane in the years before preschool.

Cricket Man

Crimes against Children
by Stephen RobertsonIn the first half of the twentieth century, Americans' intense concern with sex crimes against children led to a wave of public discussion, legislative action, and criminal prosecution. Stephen Robertson provides the first large-scale, long-term study of how American criminal courts dealt with the prosecution of sexual violence against children.Robertson describes how the nineteenth-century approach to childhood as a single phase of innocence began to shift at the end of the century to include several stages of childhood development, prompting reformers to create legal categories such as statutory rape and carnal abuse to protect children. However, while ordinary New Yorkers' involvement in the prosecution of those offenses reshaped their understandings of who was a child and produced a new concern to establish the age of their sexual partners, their beliefs in childhood innocence and in a concept of sexuality centered on sexual intercourse remained unchanged. As a result, families' use of the law and jurors' decisions ultimately diminished the protection the new laws offered to children. Robertson's study, based on the previously unexamined files of the New York County district attorney's office, reveals the importance of child sexuality and sex crimes in twentieth-century American culture.
Criminal Case Dispositions through Pleas in Greater China: Conception, Operation and Contradiction
by Yan Zhang Xiaoyu Yuan Enshen LiThis book investigates the policy implications, discursive ethos and practical realities of plea-based case dispositions in the criminal justice system of four Chinese-speaking jurisdictions, including Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. It aims to provide fresh and cutting-edge insights into important legal, social and cultural issues found throughout plea-based case dispositions in Greater China, but in a geographically specific manner – providing an in-depth view of issues that can help forge connections and inspire creative solutions for scholars gaining understanding of common problems across the societies in question. The book includes an introduction and conclusion with 9 chapters. Based on a diverse range of first-hand data and secondary sources of information, topics covered in the chapters represent multiangle perspectives and analysis that help to construct a sophisticated, intricate and evidence-based portrait of locally informed approaches to case disposition through pleas in Chinese-speaking societies.
Criminal Love: Theory and Praxis of Queerness in India
by R. Raj RaoThis book takes up the challenge of studying the wide gamut of lived reality of the Indian queer, against the backdrop of a set of theories. Written by a man who has been openly gay for the last 40 years, it dissects issues, concepts, and theories within the realm of queer studies against the day-to-day experiences of Indian queers. Drawing from personal and shared experiences, it highlights the sites of transgression within a seemingly monosexual society and analyses the aspects of the struggle of being queer in a repressive environment.This book comprises of three fundamental aspects of queerness relevant to us in India today—theory, culture, and politics, which has been primarily analysed through literature and film. The literature here includes references to the author’s own work as a practicing writer, as well as to that of other contemporary writers. It is an attempt to delink alternative sexuality from gender and establish it as an autonomous category.This book would be useful to the students, researchers and teachers of women and gender studies, sociology, history, economics, political science, and other interdisciplinary courses in social sciences. It will also be valuable reading for those interested in South Asian studies, especially post-colonial contemporary Indian society.
Criminalising Coercive Control: Family Violence and the Criminal Law
by Marilyn McMahon Paul McGorreryThis book considers whether coercive control (particularly non-physical forms of family violence) should be prohibited by the criminal law. Based on the premise that traditional understandings of family violence are severely limited, it considers whether the core of family violence is power-based controlling or coercive behavior: attempts by men to psychologically dominate their partners. Such behavior can cause significant psychological, physical and economic harms to victims and is increasingly recognized as a form of human rights abuse.The book considers the new offences that have been introduced in England and Wales (controlling or coercive behavior), Ireland (controlling behavior) and Scotland (domestic abuse). It invites consideration of three key questions: Do conventional criminal laws adequately regulate non-physical abuse? Is the criminal law an appropriate mechanism for responding to the coercive control of family members? And if a new and distinctive offence is warranted, what is the optimal form of that offence?This ground-breaking work is essential reading for researchers and practitioners interested in coercive control and the proper role of the criminal law as a mechanism for regulating family violence.
Criminals: My Family's Life on Both Sides of the Law
by Robert Anthony SiegelA prismatic, provocative look at one family—led by a charismatic, defense attorney father—whose bonds exist on both sides of the lawThe Siegels of New York are a singular creation—quirky, idealistic, shaped in large part by Robert Anthony Siegel's father, a lovable, impossible man of gargantuan appetites and sloppy ethics, a criminal defense attorney who loved his drug–dealing clients a little too much and went to prison as a result. Siegel's mother decided to pour her energies into making her children art–loving mavens of fine dining in international settings—all the things that his father was not—with Robert as her most targeted ally. Once out of prison, Siegel's father struggled with depression, attempting to reenter legal practice, with age and finances nipping at his heels. Robert, as a son and later as an author, attempts to put all of these pieces together to make a coherent shape of family before realizing that perhaps no such thing exists.Where is the thin, permeable line between right and wrong? How does one family join the greater world of normal people beyond the demimonde of drug dealers, bikers, schemers, rock musicians, and artists that swirled around them? Criminals explores those questions without easy judgments, creating a prism of an eccentric collection of characters bound together as the mysterious tribe of family.

Critical Children’s Rights Studies: A Research Companion
by Wouter Vandenhole Afua Twum-Danso Imoh Didier Reynaert Valeria LlobetThe field of children’s rights studies is well established and largely dominated by a top-down approach that considers these rights as objective standards requiring implementation in practice or policy. This book argues for a critical perspective which views the area as contested terrain with conflicting normative foundations and traditions. The collection brings together established and rising scholars whose work has been central to not only challenging mainstream children’s rights discourses but also provides alternative pathways to conceptualizing children’s rights. It moves beyond critiques of these dominant discourses and sets out the emerging paradigm of Critical Children’s Rights Studies drawing on contexts in both the Global North and Global South. It proposes new pathways and subjects these to scrutiny, illuminating the importance of contextual situatedness and acknowledging the need to consider researchers’ own positionality when outlining their stance on children’s rights.Containing both empirical and theoretical scholarship, the book will be an essential resource for students, academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the multidisciplinary areas of childhood studies, children’s rights studies and international human rights.
Critical Conversations: A Christian Parents' Guide to Discussing Homosexuality with Teens
by Tom GilsonChristian parents need to be prepared to answer the myriad challenges teens might hear in today's increasingly pro homosexual culture. "Why shouldn't gays get married?" "Who says gay sex is wrong?" "Does the Bible actually say there's anything wrong with homosexuality?" "Don't you care that kids are being bullied just for being themselves?"To start the discussion, Gilson provides a brief history of the issues beginning with the sexual revolution of the 1960s. He explains how and why cultural attitudes have reversed on this subject in such a short timespan, leaving Christians scrambling for answers.This is perhaps the most complicated and contentious issue Christians face in today's culture. Most churches are poorly equipped to handle it; parents are even less prepared. The good news is that parents need not have pat answers ready before they dive into conversations with their teens and preteens on this difficult topic. Learning together--parents struggling through these issues alongside their kids and leading them to biblical answers-- has relational benefits.Answers are important, though, so manageable, nontechnical answers to common questions surrounding this issue are provided, as well as a guide to further resources.

Critically Impaired Infants and End of Life Decision Making: Resource Allocation and Difficult Decisions (Biomedical Law and Ethics Library)
by Neera BhatiaDecisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment are contentious, and offer difficult moral dilemmas to both medical practitioners and the judiciary. This issue is exacerbated when the patient is unable to exercise autonomy and is entirely dependent on the will of others. This book focuses on the legal and ethical complexities surrounding end of life decisions for critically impaired and extremely premature infants. Neera Bhatia explores decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment from critically impaired infants and addresses the controversial question, which lives are too expensive to treat? Bringing to bear such key issues as clinical guidance, public awareness, and resource allocation, the book provides a rational approach to end of life decision making, where decisions to withdraw or withhold treatment may trump other competing interests. The book will be of great interest and use to scholars and students of bioethics, medical law, and medical practitioners.
