Cómo educar personas de éxito: Lecciones simples para resultados espectaculares
by Ester WojcickiCambia tu forma de educar, cambia el mundo. La abuela de Silicon Valley, una profesora legendaria y madre de tres exitosas hijas, comparte sus probados y contrastados métodos para criar niños felices, sanos y exitosos. No hay una forma perfecta de educar, pero los pilares del método de Esther Wojcicki, pueden serte de gran ayuda: Confianza Respeto Independencia Colaboración Amabilidad Como maestra, Esther Wojcicki ha sido lo suficientemente valiente para desafiar la enseñanza convencional convirtiendo a los alumnos en participantes activos de su propio aprendizaje. Como madre, entendió y supo cómo fomentar la responsabilidad, la autosuficiencia y la creatividad en sus hijas. Esta combinación de sabiduría práctica e inspiración es un recurso valiosísimo que puede resultar muy útil para quienes hoy en día se encargan de la educación de niños y jóvenes. Educar en la era digital supone todo un reto, pero estas páginas nos muestran que la crianza moderna puede ser motivo de alegría en lugar de una lucha constante. La comprensión innata de Wojcicki del desarrollo infantil la ha llevado a convertirse en una de las profesoras más alabadas del mundo, además de madre de tres hijas de gran éxito: una es CEO de Youtube; otra, fundadora y CEO de 23andMe; y la otra, científica. Esta gran profesora está liderando una revolución en todo el mundo no solo en la forma en que prepara a sus alumnos, sino también en cómo fomenta su salud y el bienestar de sus padres. Steve Jobs sacó a sus hijos de la escuela privada y los llevó al instituto público de Palo Alto para que tuvieran la oportunidad de estudiar con ella. Cuando Jobs fue despedido de Apple, se sentó en el aula de Wojcicki y le pidió consejo. Wojcicki nos obsequia con su única y científicamente contrastada metodología y ofrece a los padres la guía clara y visionaria que están esperando: un manifiesto que cambia radicalmente el paradigma sobre la educación en la era digital. Reseña:«Esta mujer está liderando una revolución: nos muestra cómo ser lo mejor posible para que nuestros hijos también puedan serlo.»Arianna Huffington, fundadora del Huffington Post
Cómo empezó mi vida prestada
by Jenny ValentineUn nombre. Un misterio. Dos chicos y una sola identidad. Tras años de malvivir en la calle, a un muchacho de dieciséis años se le presenta la oportunidad de suplantar a un tal Cassiel Roadnight, un joven desaparecido con el que comparte un sorprendente parecido físico. Solo tiene que afirmar ser él para conseguir lo que tanto ansía: un hogar, una familia, un lugar en el mundo. ¿Cómo resistirse a la tentación? Sin calibrar las consecuencias, decide hacerse pasar por él; un gesto mínimo que lo sumirá en una vorágine de culpa, mentiras y preguntas: ¿qué pasará si lo descubren? ¿Quién era en realidad Cassiel Roadnight? ¿Por qué desapareció y dónde está? Pero, por encima de todo, el engaño le llevará a afrontar el mayor de los misterios: el de su propia identidad.

Cómo ser padres buenos en un mundo malo: Principios sabios para llegar a acuerdos con los hijos
by David Hormachea¿Por qué algunos padres parecen ser más exitosos que otros? Algunos padres tienen un método, un estilo, o una actitud que ayuda a que sus hijos crezcan de una manera sana y robusta, aun cuando tienen desafíos considerables. Otros métodos, estilos, y actitudes están, la mayoría de las veces, asociados con hijos que continúan teniendo dificultades y se encuentran con desafíos aun más grandes al atravesar la niñez.En este libro el Dr. Hormachea trata los temas difíciles con los que se enfrentan los padres en la vida familiar y cómo pueden permitir que sus hijos no solamente venzan los desafíos sino que también lleguen a ser más cariñosos, más protectores, positivos, flexibles, firmes y creativos a medida que crecen.El doctor Hormachea cree que Dios no espera que tengamos buenos hijos sino que seamos buenos padres: Padres que en la medida que sea posible sean un modelo de buenos valores y que hagan pasar estas herramientas a sus hijos para que puedan escoger lo que es bueno para sus vidas. La estructura del libro permite tanto a padres como a hijos llevar a cabo el proceso del desarrollo de inculcar valores y formar la conciencia de un hijo.

DADDY
by Jake ByrneFeatured on Quill & Quire's Fall PreviewIf you reloop trauma enough, does it make a danceable rhythm? If you get lost in physical sensation enough, does that make you free?DADDY is a powerful look at patriarchy, intergenerational trauma, and queer desire that seeks an unravelling of systems of control to reclaim vulnerability. At once confessional, playful, and sonically meticulous, Byrne's poems seek conversation with a voice in the mind that won't quiet. Cruel father figures dissolve into leather-clad muscle daddies on popper-scented dancefloors; the pain of the past sows the seeds of a joyful exploration of queer desire.
