Compares popular beliefs to actual research results to show how parenting behaviors influence child outcomes and offers practical advice on how to be sensitive to a child's needs while dealing with everyday challenges.Sclafani deals comprehensively with fundamental parenting issues such as development, family systems, fatherhood, parental modeling, discipline, divorce, education, day care, and stress. Retaining both content and clarity, he explains child psychology in a manner accessible to lay readers. Best of all, Sclafani shows parents how to integrate research findings with daily parenting practice. This book supplements, and may well supplant, the works of T. Berry Brazelton and Penelope Leach. Highly recommended.-Library JournalSclafani weaves theory and data in this thoughtful book. Several strong chapters summarize the knowledge and specific recommendations related to common issues faced by families; for example, day care, divorce, and fatherhood. Other chapters cover topics unique to general resources on parenting: adoption, children with serious illnesses, and the loss of a treasured pet. This is not a book to be read cover to cover; rather readers should take time after each topic of discussion to process information and viewpoints presented....Crossing several disciplines--psychology, education, sociology--this is a solid resource for a broad audience. Essential. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students; faculty; professionals; general readers.-ChoiceUnlike most parenting books which present at best a mix of contradictory messages and conflicting advice, Sclafani offers a refreshing view with practical advice for the concerned, engaged adult concerned with parenting their child(ren) from infancy to adolescence. Grounded in an appropriate research literature of the educational and social sciences, Sclafani's 10 chapters negotiate the practical parenting territory by addressing many of the shortcomings of earlier volumes dealing with th

The first reports of the successful use of mechanical ventilation to treat respiratory disorders in the neonate were published in the 1960s. Subsequent decades have seen the widespread use of ventilation technology, the development of high-frequency ventilation and extracorporeal support, and, most recently, the use of surfactant replacement therapy and synchronized ventilation. Neonatal and pulmonary clinicians now have a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic tools from which to select a customized management strategy. As a result, the modern neonatal intensive care unit has become a technological wonder, and an occasional source of confusion.pDivided into twenty main sections, this book offers a wealth of information to those providing intensive respiratory care to the newborn. Eighty-three separate chapters, written by leaders in their respective fields, cover a comprehensive range of material, including lung development and function, the principles of mechanical ventilation, available diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, strategies for treating various respiratory disorders, alternative treatments, outcomes, and ethical considerations pertaining to the care of newborns. The outline-style presentation is clinically focused, ensuring that all subjects are described in a manner that is easily understood and easily applied to bedside treatment.pThis manual will be of immense value to all those who come in contact with a neonatal intensive care unit, including pediatricians, neonatologists, pulmonary specialists, respiratory therapists, neonatal nurses and nurse practitioners, fellows, residents, interns, and medical students.Foreword.pAlan H.
