Determining Legal Parentage: Between Family Law and Contract Law
by Yehezkel MargalitThe last few decades have witnessed dramatic changes affecting the institutions of family and parenthood. If, in the past, the classic family was defined sociologically as a pair of heterosexual parents living together under one roof along with their children, different sociological changes have led to a rapid and extreme transformation in the definitions of family, marital relations, parenthood, and the relationship between parents and children. Dr Yehezkel Margalit explores whether and to what extent there is room, legally and ethically, for the use of modern contractual devices and doctrines to privately regulate the establishment of legal parentage. This book offers intentional parenthood as the most appropriate and flexible normative doctrine for resolving the dilemmas which have surfaced in the field of determining legal parentage. By using the certainty of contract law, determining the legal status of parenthood will be seen as the best method to sort out ambiguities and assure both parental and children rights.

Detrás de la máscara
by Andrea FerrariAndrea Ferrari abre el juego al tiempo adolescente de las preguntas, las inseguridades y las decisiones. ¿Qué mostramos de nosotros mismos? ¿Qué queremos ocultar? ¿Cómo enfrentamos la mirada de los otros? Yo tengo vergüenza de muchas cosas: mis brazos demasiado largos, mis pies enormes, mi cuerpo tan desgarbado que no logro disimular ni con buzos extragrandes. También de que mi mamá esté embarazada (porque ¿quién tiene un hermano a los 14 años?). Pero sobre todo me avergüenza mi cara: una constelación de infinitos granos. Por eso, fue genial cuando el mundo se detuvo con la pandemia y llegaron los barbijos tapa-todo. Con la cara oculta me convertí en otra persona, alguien capaz de hacer cosas que nunca hubiera imaginado. Además, conocí a Liz. Y a Melina: eso fue lo mejor de todo. En época de pandemia las cosas se complicaron para todos. Y Roberto, por pedido expreso de su mamá, tuvo que ayudar a sus vecinos mayores con las compras y los mandados. Lo mejor de todo ese tiempo fue la imposición del barbijo. Porque cuando uno es adolescente y las dudas le llenan la existencia, nada mejor que ir cubierto de pies a cabeza para enfrentar los días y pasar desapercibido. O mejor dicho, solo llamar la atención de quienes sí queremos que nos vean. Un amor que hay atreverse a jugar, una pandemia que ahoga, una madre embarazada que ya tiene un hijo adolescente y una pareja nueva, una vecina muy mayor que ilumina con sus ocurrencias. Un acto de valentía extrema puso a Roberto en el foco de todos los comentarios. Algunas máscaras que ocultan lo que prefiere no mostrar, y varios dibujos que darán inicio a una excelente historia.

by Boris Gindis Carol S. LidzThis practice-focused guide introduces The SmartStart Toolbox as a remedial program to help mental health professionals and adoptive parents promote the educational and social development of internationally adopted children aged 4–8.

The SmartStart methodology can also be used by professionals for diagnostic purposes.

Developing College Skills in Students with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome
by Sarita FreedmanGoing to college can be a daunting prospect for any young person, but for teenagers on the autism spectrum this is especially true. This book describes the unique needs that ASD students entering further or higher education are likely to have.

Describing the unique accommodations and support that students with ASD will need, and the skills for which they will need particular help, she provides effective intervention strategies that can be implemented throughout the period leading up to college entrance. This book is essential reading for psychologists, special educators, educational therapists, high school teachers/career counselors, and other professionals supporting high school and college students on the autism spectrum. Parents of such students will also benefit from the ideas presented in this book.

The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy: Children, Risk and Modernities (Studies in Citizenship, Human Rights and the Law)
by Kieran WalshThis book examines how child protection law has been shaped by the transition to late modernity and how it copes with the ever-changing concept of risk. The book traces the evolution of the contemporary child protection system through historical changes, assessing the factors that have influenced the development of legal responses to abuse over a 130-year period. It does so by focussing on the Republic of Ireland where child protection has become emblematic of wider social change. The work draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources including legislation, case law and official and media reports of child protection inquiries. It also utilises insights developed through an extensive examination of parliamentary debates on child protection matters. These materials are assessed through the lens of critical discourse analysis to explore the relationship between law, social policy and social theory as they effect child protection. While the book utilises primarily Irish sources, this multidisciplinary approach ensures the argument has international applicability. The book will be a valuable resource for all those with an interest in the development of child protection law.
The Development of Early Childhood Education in Europe and North America
by Harry Willekens Kirsten Scheiwe Kristen NawrotzkiIn recent decades policies aiming at work-family reconciliation, at social integration and at the development of children's human capital have strongly influenced the expansion of early childhood education and care throughout much of the Western world. There are, however, striking differences between national regimes regarding the extent of these services, their organisation and their position within the welfare state and educational system. Many of these differences cannot be satisfactorily explained by reference to recent policy decisions, but must be understood in the context of the historical background of provisions for children below school age. This book focuses on long-term developments in early childhood education and public child care, to the extent that it was institutionally intertwined with early childhood education, starting with the first initiatives in the early nineteenth century. Its comparative overview demonstrates that salient features of present-day nationalregimes have their roots in critical historical junctures, times at which societal conflicts were settled – at least temporarily – by new policy arrangements. These arrangements then directed development down a path which it could only leave given a new crisis.
