Megazines And Book Education

When it comes to the word discipline, there are mainly two schools of thought. On the one hand we often turn to the scriptures that remind us that “foolishness is bound up in the heart of the child, but the rod of reproof will drive it far from them” or a well-known saying that goes something like “spare the rod and spoil the child”. On the other hand, we have the position from child author, Dr. Benjamin Spock, who believes that sparing the rod will not spoil the child; that reasoning with them is a much better approach. Within the midst of these two schools of thought come Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore and their book “Home Built Discipline“.

From the outset, they take the position that discipline is not punishment, nor should it be. They make it known right up front that, under no circumstances should an adult ‘apply the board of education to the seat of learning’ in an atmosphere of anger. Remember, anger is but one letter away from danger!

In “Home Built Discipline“, you will find the information necessary for effective discipline that will not only be a benefit to the child throughout their formative years, but will also ensure you to be a better parent in the process. “Home Built Discipline” will give you the insights needed so you can develop proper love, firmness and consistency that will provide your child with a balanced, stable foundation from which to grow.

In part one you will find needed instruction on how to apply commonsense discipline from a discipleship standpoint. Part two takes you through understanding the need for discipline. You will gain invaluable knowledge on how to better approach discipline within each age level. From dealing properly with your toddler’s tantrums to their first five formative years, discipline is prescribed for each situation. It then concludes addressing the transition years between six and eight, and again from age nine to becoming a teenager.

Part three delves into the area of community service through the ten building blocks of commonsense discipline. It covers areas such as proper etiquette within society as well as the need for constructive work and play. You will learn how to help your child manage money as well as understanding the importance of proper rest, proper nutrition and proper exercise in order to live a healthy, happy life.

In part four you will find the aptly named title ‘The Ministry Of Tenderness’ whereby you will receive a wealth of information on dealing with special situations as well as children with special needs. You will learn how to effectively deal with discouragement and depression, as well as understanding how to let boys become men and girls to become women.

Finally, there is a study guide that will take you and your children through scenarios based on each of the chapters that will reinforce what “Home Built Discipline” is all about. It can either be used within a group or for private study.

The Moores have invested at great sacrifice much time and tireless work assembling this power packed book that is both informative and timeless in its application. In “Home Built Discipline” you will find that what worked so well in the past is still needed in the family as well as society today.

In this day and age, education is more important and vital for the very survival of our nation’s future than ever. And, the most important equation of that ability to survive is found in our children. As we continue to seek the best curriculum and schooling money can buy, we find ourselves in a dilemma: the skyrocketing cost per child to educate them coupled with ever-lowering standards of expectation. Many parents are deeply concerned as to what to do in order to turn this situation around, especially in light of the rest of the world’s interest ensuring that their children, and by default their country, receive what is necessary to excel academically, thus the whole of society benefiting as a result.

In the world of education, as we have progressed from the one room schoolhouse to grades kindergarten through high school and on to college, one thing tends to stand out: the child’s age being the primary determining factor as to what grade they are assigned. Unfortunately, that is often not a precursor to guarantee good learning since it is a known fact that not all children are created equal simply because they are the same age. Into this arena comes a series of books that provide some well-needed information addressing this dilemma.

Following in the footsteps of “Better Late Than Early” and “School Can Wait” Raymond and Dorothy Moore have compiled an easy to read, down to earth approach to teaching children at home with “Home Grown Kids“. As it is stated, this is a practical guide when it comes to teaching within the home by the adults who care the most about the children: the parents.

In part one of the book, titled “Family Or The State?”, you find provocative titles such as “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle…” or “Parents In Charge” and, right away, you get the sense where this book is going: a head on collision with the status quo regarding the education of the child.

In part two of “Home Grown Kids” titled “Steps In Parenthood” you will receive extensive yet easy to comprehend advice, starting with “Setting The Stage For Birth” and ending in chapter nine “The Reasoning Sevens, Eights and Nines”.

Coming from the standpoint that the educational system has it exactly backwards when it allows developmentally challenged children to stay home, yet demands by law that “normal” children receive a public education outside the home, “Home Grown Kids” takes the position that it is just as vitally important to have the option to teach all children at home, therefore eliminating altogether the differences imposed by society.

You will find “Home Grown Kids” to be a wonderful source of encouragement as well as that needed “push back” to the status quo in order to more intelligently control your child’s destiny when it comes to his or her education. Honestly, who better to determine the course of a child’s future than the parent? With “Home Grown Kids” this is exactly what you will receive to make that determination.

With a wealth of references and resources available, along with a forward by Dr. James C. Dobson, “Home Grown Kids” is sure to occupy a prominent place in your library.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about Einstein’s greatest discoveries, and theories? How would you like to learn about not only his theories, but also the mistakes he made? Well, if you’d like to read a book on this topic, there is one that I would highly recommend to you, and it is written so just about anyone can understand it. The name of the book is;

“Einstein’s Mistakes: the Human Failings of Genius” by Hans C. Ohanian, WW Norton & Co. Publishers, New York City, New York, 2008, (369 pp).

Although Einstein gave us some great theories, he also made a number of mistakes, and luckily, we overlook his many mistakes, and leave his name in history for his greatest achievements. In this book you will learn about all of Einstein’s lapses in Genius, and misinterpretations of data in his work. You’ll also learn about the many scientists who followed his lead to dead ends, or discoveries that he was wrong.

This is very insightful to the future scientist who wishes to learn more, about how to challenge the experts, as Einstein also reminded us to do. This book is excellently footnoted, and completely well documented.

The author obviously knows what he’s talking about, and if you wish to defend Einstein’s legacy, this book may upset you, but it really shouldn’t because the author does give Einstein his due, and considering what they knew at the time, the author also explains how easily such simple mistakes could have been made.

In a way one could say that this book does tend to humanize Albert Einstein, and show him as a real human that does make mistakes. “I thought I was wrong once, but I had been mistaken,” is a quote that comes to mind after reading this book, and it makes me recall all the pearls of wisdom that Albert Einstein left us with.

He had many great quotes, and philosophical comments that make us all think to this day. Indeed, if you are a research scientist, I think you should have this book in your research library. It was very fun to read, and extremely interesting.
