The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

In the course of the early modern period the capacity of European states to raise finances wage wars subject their own and far away populations and exert bureaucratic power over a variety of areas of social life increased dramatically. Nevertheless these changes were far less absolute and definitive than the literature on the rise of the modern state once held. While war pushed the boundaries of the emerging fiscal military states of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries rulers remained highly dependent on negotiations with competing elite groups and the private networks of contractors and financial intermediaries. Attempts to increase control over subjects often resulted in popular resistance that in their turn set limits to and influenced the direction of the development of state institutions. Written in honour of the leading historian of war and state formation in the early modern Low Countries Marjolein 't Hart the chapters gathered in this volume examine the main drivers beneficiaries and discontents of state formation across and beyond Europe in the early modern period. | The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

The three papers writes Dr Segal 'are based on central concepts first put forward by Mrs Klein. | The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

'The book provides a comprehensive yet practical discussion of guidance strategies that can be implemented in a variety of situations. These strategies promote a respect for children and their rights enhance children's self-esteem and help to foster pro-social skills. This book is a must-read for both students and practitioners who work with children and families. ' - Dr Laura McFarland School of Education Charles Sturt UniversityDrawing on the latest research evidence Young Children's Behaviour outlines the beliefs and values that underpin the guidance approach to managing the behaviours of children from birth to eight years of age. In contrast with rewards-and-punishment systems guidance believes that children do not need incentives to behave well but instead need skills. Rather than punishing them for lacking skills guidance teaches young children self-regulation skills so that they can behave considerately. The author provides practical strategies that both meet children's needs and safeguard the rights of surrounding adults and children. These methods include listening being assertive giving positive instructions solving problems collaboratively and coaching children to self-regulate their emotions and impulses. The text also offers advice on responding to many common challenges including separation distress meltdowns aggression and social withdrawal. Finally the book suggests how educators can provide educational and behavioural support for children with atypical development and describes how to foster effective relationships with parents whose children display challenging behaviours. Dr Louise Porter powerfully argues that behaviour guidance is the most effective approach to working with young children and reflects the deepest values of early childhood education and care. | Young Children's Behaviour Guidance approaches for early childhood educators
