When identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were three, they began to reject communication with anyone but each other, and so began a childhood bound together in a strange and secret world. As they grew up, love, hate and genius united to push them to the extreme margins of society and, following a five week spree of vandalism and arson, the silent twins were sentenced to a gruelling twelve-year detention in Broadmoor. Award-winning investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace delves into the twins' silent world.

This book offers 44 bite-sized chapters, filled with practical ideas that parents and educators can use to develop the leadership potential in children and youth. These can be heard in any order.

Schools have long meant more than an education in America. Flawed, inequitable, underfunded, and segregated, they remain the most important engine of social mobility and the crucible of our democracy. The cost of closing them for so long during COVID, made with good intentions, has not been fully reckoned with. In The Stolen Year, Anya Kamenetz follows families across the country through the pandemic. She dives deep into the history that brought us to this point, making the case that 2020 wasn't a lost year—it was taken from our children by years of neglect and bad faith.

When Sky and her older sister Avril were taken into care, the social workers knew this was a case like no other. Raised by unhinged parents who hoarded compulsively, creating horrific conditions no child should live in, the two girls arrived at foster carer Louise's home, neglected, malnourished and indoctrinated. Louise had to draw on all of her experience as one of Britain's leading foster carers to rehabilitate and change the course of their lives.

Tracking deep into our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many animals that came before us—our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral roots to stay ‘forever young’—or at least what seems like forever—and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story.

La niñez es nuestra plataforma de despegue, el periodo de la vida en el que el aprendizaje es más intenso, y adquirimos el conocimiento crítico y las habilidades que nos permitirán adaptarnos. Filósofos de todas las épocas han señalado que, con el paso del tiempo, los seres humanos tendemos a encogernos mental y emocionalmente. Desvirtuamos nuestra naturaleza -caracterizada por la curiosidad, la empatía, la razón, el asombro y el deseo de experimentar y entender- y, de esta manera, se va volviendo borroso nuestro sentido de identidad.

Emma ist erst vier Jahre alt, aber ihre Datenspur im Internet reicht schon viel weiter zurück. Bereits das erste Ultraschallbild haben ihre Eltern bei Instagram gepostet. Der Kinderwagen hat 2000 Euro gekostet. Museum, Zoo, Kindertheater, Frühenglisch und Karatekurs – all das muss Emma mit vier schon erlebt haben. Statt ihr Kind zu erziehen, überschütten die Eltern es mit Liebe, Geschenken und Optimierungen. Erzieher berichten, dass viele Kinder heute später trocken werden, nur in 2-Wort-Sätzen sprechen oder sich nicht selbst anziehen können.

Eine Streitschrift über die Missstände der Schulpolitik von der Stimme einer empörten Generation. Deutschlands ehemaliger oberster Schülersprecher Dario Schramm ist einer der schärfsten und profiliertesten Kritiker der Schulpolitik seit dem ersten Lockdown und klagt an: Wie kann es sein, dass Kinder und Jugendliche nicht nach ihren Bedürfnissen gefragt werden? Warum werden sie wenn überhaupt nur als allerletzte mitgedacht? Und wieso wird die Lufthansa mit einem Milliarden-Paket gerettet, während es an Schulen immer noch mit Luftfiltern und schnellem Internet hapert?

The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.

Der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater Michael Elpers schlägt Alarm: Immer mehr Kinder und Jugendliche leiden an Depressionen, Essstörungen, Angsterkrankungen oder Lernstörungen. Doch die sozialen Ursachen dafür werden sowohl von den Medien als auch vom Gesundheits- und Bildungssystem weitgehend ignoriert - die Verantwortung wird oftmals allein den Eltern zugewiesen. Dieses Buch eröffnet eine Debatte, die - nicht erst seit der Pandemie - längst überfällig ist.

The mother of two young daughters, journalist Sophie Brickman wondered what living in a tech-saturated world was doing to her and her children. She turned to experts, academics, doctors, and innovators for advice and insight. Baby, Unplugged brings together Brickman’s in-depth research with her own candid (sometimes hilarious) personal experience to help parents sort through the wide and often confusing tech offerings available today and to sort out what’s helpful and what’s not.

Do teachers have a front-row seat to America’s decline? Jeremy S. Adams, a teacher at both the high school and college levels, thinks so. Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and a love of learning in his students. And yet, as he notes, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people. Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and, most worrying of all, their humanity diminished.

In Pledged, Alexandra Robbins followed four college girls to produce a riveting narrative that read like fiction. Now, in The Overachievers, Robbins uses the same captivating style to explore how our high-stakes educational culture has spiraled out of control.

A healthy Earth requires healthy children. Yet nearly one-fourth of the world’s children are stunted physically and mentally due to a lack of food or nutrients. During the past 30 years, says Sharman Russell, we have seen a revolution in how we treat these sick children and in how - with a new understanding of the human body and approach to nutrition, and new ways to reach out to hungry mothers and babies - we have gone from unwittingly killing severely malnourished children to bringing them back to health through the “miracle” of ready-to-eat therapeutic food.

In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world’s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do.

Renowned sociologist Janice Johnson Dias has devoted her life to nurturing and training girls to become changemakers - whether through her investment in her daughter Marley’s humanitarian projects or through her work with the GrassROOTS Community Foundation “SuperCamp” she cofounded for girls. In these unprecedented times, her work has never been more urgent, as parents find themselves asking: How do we teach girls to change the world?

Die Audio-Dokumentation mit bislang ungehörten O-Tönen der jungen Christiane F. (15): "Auf der einen Seite wusste ich, dass irgendwann einmal ein Wendepunkt in meinem Leben kommen wird. Das heißt aber auch, dass ich eben vielleicht noch ein paar Mal auf die Schnauze fliegen muss bevor es soweit kommt." West-Berlin in den 70ern: In dem Gemisch aus Abschottung, Kunst, Kultur, Politik und Drogen entstehen Parallelgesellschaften mit einmaligen Möglichkeiten, aber auch neuen Gefahren.

Albert Einstein no aprendió a leer hasta los siete años ni a hablar con fluidez hasta los nueve, su maestra lo calificó como "mortalmente lerdo". Le costó sangre, sudor y lágrimas acceder a la Escuela Politécnica... después de conseguirlo y finalizar su carrera, su tesis doctoral no causó la más mínima impresión al tribunal que la juzgó, de hecho, la consideraron "bastante mediocre". A pesar de ello Einstein acabó convirtiéndose en uno de los científicos más geniales del mundo, y como él, muchos genios en los más diversos ámbitos fueron también malos estudiantes:
