Balancing the responsibilities of parenting with the need for personal time has become a skillful art in our fast-paced world. Navigating the joys and challenges of raising children while still prioritizing self-care might seem like a daunting task. Amidst the hustle of school commitments, extracurricular activities, and family obligations, finding a moment for oneself often feels like a distant dream. However, it's essential to explore how to strike a balance that not only supports children's growth but also preserves parents' well-being. In this era of time scarcity, the idea of preserving personal time might seem unattainable. Yet, recognizing the significance of maintaining one's identity and well-being is vital. While parenthood demands attention and dedication, it's important to remember that a nurtured parent serves as a powerful example, showing children the importance of self-care and personal growth. Central to achieving this equilibrium is efficient time management. Creating routines for both family and individual activities establishes a structure that accommodates personal needs. Integrating children into these routines not only imparts essential life skills but also highlights the importance of looking after oneself. Effective communication also plays a pivotal role. Openly discussing the value of personal time with children can foster understanding and empathy. It teaches them that self-care is not selfish but a crucial aspect of leading a fulfilling life. But how can personal time be squeezed into the demands of parenting? The key lies in focusing on the quality rather than quantity of interactions. Engaging in shared activities that align with personal interests creates meaningful connections and lasting memories. These experiences not only nurture personal growth but also teach children essential life lessons. Despite being often criticized, technology can be utilized to create opportunities for personal time. Educational apps, for instance, can engage children while affording parents a chance to pursue their interests. However, setting clear boundaries around screen time is essential to ensure genuine interactions remain a priority. A strong support network of friends and family members is also crucial. These connections offer valuable breaks and moments of respite. Whether through a grandparent's visit or arranging playdates with fellow parents, these moments provide reassurance and much-needed support. Prioritizing self-care, a frequently mentioned but underutilized concept, is integral to achieving this balance. When parents tend to their physical, emotional, and mental well-being, they are better equipped to handle the demands of parenting. Engaging in activities that rejuvenate the spirit - such as exercise, meditation, journaling, or pursuing a hobby - can enhance patience, resilience, and overall satisfaction. Perfectionism should be released as well. Accepting that parenting has its ups and downs can alleviate unnecessary stress. Embracing flexibility and learning when to decline commitments can create more room for personal endeavors. In conclusion, finding equilibrium between parenting responsibilities and personal time is a delicate endeavor. It involves skillful navigation that enriches both parents and children. By employing effective time management, transparent communication, shared activities, strategic technology use, a dependable support network, self-care practices, and an acceptance of imperfections, parents can establish a lifestyle where both roles coexist harmoniously. As parents invest in their individual pursuits, they sow the seeds of positivity, resilience, and holistic development that positively impact their children's lives.

Per decenni i fenomeni del bilinguismo e dei disturbi del linguaggio sono stati studiati separatamente, nell'ottica che crescere i bambini con disturbi del linguaggio in un contesto bilingue non facesse altro che peggiorare le difficoltà dei piccoli.Le cose però non stanno esattamente così. Recenti studi, infatti, hanno provato che in realtà il bilinguismo può, in determinate circostanze, aiutare quei bambini che si trovano ad affrontare la doppia sfida dell'essere allo stesso tempo stranieri e disabili.Il presente volume, partendo dal delineare lo sviluppo del linguaggio dei bambini con sviluppo tipico, presenterà il vasto fenomeno del bilinguismo sotto vari aspetti (linguistico, neuro-cognitivo, educativo e scolastico) ed evidenzierà le false credenze e i vantaggi che un'educazione bilingue può in realtà comportare. Verranno esposti i principali studi che hanno messo in relazione il tema del bilinguismo ai disturbi del linguaggio, a livello internazionale e nel contesto italiano. Dopo un discorso sulla Comunicazione Aumentativa e Alternativa, indirizzando l'attenzione sul suo utilizzo per i bambini bilingui, il volume si concluderà con una literature review sugli studi che hanno descritto e applicato particolari strategie e pratiche atte a migliorare lo sviluppo dei bambini bilingui con disturbi del linguaggio.

When did mothers start worrying so much? Why do they keep worrying so? Writing Maternity: Medicine, Anxiety, Rhetoric, and Genre answers these questions by identifying the nineteenth-century rhetorical origins of maternal anxiety, inviting readers to think about worrying not as something individual mothers do but as an affect that since Victorian times has defined middle-class motherhood itself. In this book, Dara Rossman Regaignon offers the first comprehensive study of child-rearing advice literature from early-nineteenth-century Britain and argues that the historical emergence of that genre catalyzed a durable shift in which maternal care was identified as maternal anxiety. Tracing the rhetorical circulation of this affect from advice literature through the memoirs of Mary Martha Sherwood (1775-1851) and Catharine Tait (1819-1878), as well as fiction by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, the Brontës, and Charlotte Mary Yonge, Regaignon gives maternal anxiety a literary-rhetorical history. She does this by bringing concepts such as uptake and genre ecology into literary studies from rhetorical genre theory, making a case for a mobile and culturally influential notion of genre. Examining specific case studies on child death, paid childcare, and infant doping, among others, Regaignon argues that the ideology of nurturing motherhood was predicated upon the rhetorical cultivation of maternal anxiety--which has had significant consequences for the experience of motherhood and maternal feeling.

Why do some adults think it's fine to hit children? Why does the school system fail so many pupils? And when their future is on the line, why can't children vote? How we treat children isn't fair. Despite the lip service paid to their rights, children are still discriminated against in every aspect of their lives: rising levels of child poverty, underfunded and outdated education and childcare systems, controlling parenting practices, and political systems that exclude their voices on issues which will affect them most - not least the climate crisis. Children are not passive victims of oppression, but their resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement ­­­­- until now. In this groundbreaking manifesto, Eloise Rickman argues that it's time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously. Radical, compassionate, and profoundly hopeful, this powerful new book signals the start of a long-overdue conversation about how we treat children. Featuring practical solutions and the voices of children and adults who are working towards them, is a call to embrace children's liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world.

I've learnt that when I come home from work and my daughter has tidied up her bedroom, swept the back veranda free of cigarette butts, cooked dinner and tells me, after pouring me a glass of wine, 'that's the good news - now here s the bad' that it probably involves body piercing. If I'm lucky Sonia Neale has had enough, her sons are crusty, smelly and permanently hooked to the tV, her daughter has so many piercing she sets off theft-detectors in stores, and as for Sonia herself, well, there's only one thing she wants more than chardonnay and steamy sex with Keanu Reeves: chardonnay and a bit of peace and quiet! But with a house full of teenagers, what are her chances?
