Choosing Childcare For Dummies by Ann Douglas Pdf

The demand for child-care spaces is huge. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, approximately 13 million children under the age of six spend some or all of their day being cared for by someone other than their parents. The child-care shortage is everyone's problem – for parents (whether you work outside the home or not), employers, and the children. The prospect of choosing the right childcare can be overwhelming. Put your mind at ease with Choosing Childcare For Dummies. This reference guide is brimming with practical advice to help you find high-quality childcare for the child in your life – whether he or she is a biological child, stepchild, grandchild, foster child, or the child of your significant other. From figuring out affordability to knowing what to do if you suspect neglect or abuse, Choosing Childcare For Dummies covers it all. Inside the book you'll find out how to Weigh the pros and cons of your various child-care options Determine high quality childcare Evaluate out-of-home childcare Hire a nanny or a relative for in-home care Get guidance on the legal issues of being an employer Conduct a reference check Determine if you need a "nanny cam" Recognize the ten signs that your child-care arrangement is in trouble Ease your child into a new child-care arrangement Find back-up childcare Because the United States has no countrywide child-care “system” in place, we’ve ended up with a patchwork quilt of regulations that don’t quite mesh the way they should. This is why so many child-care programs are exempt from the child-care legislation that’s intended to protect children. The bottom line? You can’t count on anyone else to guarantee your child’s health, safety, and well-being in a particular child-care setting. Like it or not, the buck stops with you. That’s why you owe it to yourself and your child to read books like this one that show you how to be a savvy day-care consumer.

Finding Daycare by Tracy Cassels Pdf

"It's just the same as all your stuff: thorough and sane and then, for me--because of the anthropological context you bring in--just a hell of a lot more interesting than other reading on the topic." David Epstein, bestselling author of The Sports GeneMost families will face the task of finding appropriate child care for their children. This is not a fun task and is made harder by the lack of high-quality care in most areas. This ebook is designed to help families navigate what is one of the most important yet least talked-about decisions they will make as parents. Serving as both information source and guide, this ebook covers the following areas to help parents find and transition their children to child care: * What are the options for care? So many times families think only about large centre-based daycares or home-based daycares, but there are other options that are available to some families. * What are the factors to consider when assessing a child care option? How safe is the environment? What do you even need to ask to find out how safe a given child care situation is? What about toys - are there too many or not enough? Do they go outside? In this book, I explore the three main areas to consider and what should be looked at in each: safety, environment, and quality of care.* How do you transition your child? As many parents will tell you, it's not as simple as just dropping your child off and hoping for the best. Knowing how your child transitions can help you make a plan to minimize the impact of the transition and make for a happier child care relationship in the long-term.* What does the research say about child care? So many different studies are out there, but what are the main points that we can take home? I summarize the research for you so you can better know what factors really matter and how you can apply these to your unique situation.* What if things go wrong? Sometimes things don't go as planned and you need to know the best way to handle these situations. I provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to handle difficult situations with care without getting too flustered or giving up.A short read packed with information, this ebook is for any parent who is facing the child care decision.

A Wonderful Life by Frank Martela Pdf

In a series of essays that explore the notion of what brings significance to our existences, clarifying why we have this longing beyond the present moment and an insatiable dissatisfaction with where we are, scholar Frank Martela tackles the subject of finding meaning in life. With beautiful decorative elements and an engaging design, the book approaches its subject in a readily digestible form. It grapples with some of life’s most pressing questions, like "Is happiness a worthy goal?" and "What is the foundation for meaning in a secular society?" and "Is life an existential void?" yet Martela answers these questions and more in a relaxed, conversational tone and with a wry sense of humor, placing some of life’s greatest philosophical concerns and quandaries into a modern-day context. Martela quickly and concisely gets to the heart of the matter: your place in the world and how to find meaning in life as countless thinkers and philosophers have done before, yet the emphasis here is on what we do with the life we have and how we can make it more meaningful. Part prescriptive and part armchair philosophy book, A Wonderful Life is accessible to everyone, from the well-read scholar to the apprentice as well as anyone curious about how to extract the greatest meaning and sense of purpose from their existence.

AARP® Crash Course in Finding the Work You Love by Samuel Greengard Pdf

The authoritative resource for finding new work and new purpose after fifty. Whether they’re old enough to have earned their AARP card or not, a new generation of American workers is no longer counting the days until retirement. Instead, they’re seeking greater fulfillment in their personal lives by tackling new—and often much more socially significant—work. Switching careers is a challenge at any age, yet boomers may have more to overcome than their younger counterparts: They must beef up their education or seek out retraining; cope with seismic lifestyle shifts such as less income and a new circle of friends; and reconcile themselves to the fact that even the most rewarding position is no panacea for life’s problems. After decades writing about career issues for publications as diverse as the Chicago Tribune, Family Circle, Workplace Management, and Wired, Sam Greengard brings a wealth of knowledge to this timely topic. He shows how to sort out your feelings about your existing career; successfully transition to a new one; and work toward a greater sense of balance in your daily life. Profiles of those who’ve attained their own goals are included, along with tips, quizzes, worksheets, how-to sidebars, and other practical resources.
