Cognitive benefits of last night's sleep: daily variations in children's sleep behavior are related to working memory fluctuations - Könen - 2014 - Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. Introduction Cognitive performance fluctuations are largely known as the phenomenon of having good or bad days or moments. Poor results on tests or shortcomings in the cognitive demands of everyday life are often attributed to such bad days or moments. Furthermore, the experience of having a particularly good or bad night's sleep is common in daily life. Astonishingly, however, empirical research on both of these everyday phenomena is scarce.

Therefore, our aim was to relate nightly variations in children's sleep to their cognitive performance the following day to gain knowledge about a potential source of cognitive performance fluctuations in children. Some studies with adult samples suggest that cognitive performance fluctuations can be identified in a number of cognitive tasks and that these fluctuations vary according to age (Nesselroade & Salthouse, 2004; Schmiedek, Lövdén, & Lindenberger, 2013; Sliwinski, Smyth, Hofer, & Stawski, 2006).

My son enjoying Wonder Synapsis of Wonder: August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. Wonder, by R. From the author: I invite any readers who have been touched by Wonder and its message to take the pledge to “choose kind.” For those wanting to incorporate this wonderful story into classroom or home based lessons, here are some great resources to get you started: Lessons/Teaching Resources Printables NEW – Just released!

Benjamin Zephaniah. However, Zephaniah has ended up the people’s poet. Today he holds a handful of honorary degrees. In 2008 he appeared in The Times list of top 50 post-war writers. Zephaniah’s work is often described as dub poetry, a form of oral performance poetry that is sometimes staged to music and which typically draws on the rhythms of reggae and the rhetoric of Rastafarianism.

His poems are often inspired by political causes. Zephaniah has said that he ‘lives in two places, Britain and the world’, and his collections highlight domestic issues from institutional racism (Too Black, Too Strong, 2001) and the murder of Stephen Lawrence to conditions in war-torn Bosnia, the plight of occupied Palestine (Rasta Time in Palestine, 1990) and global environmental issues (see, for example, Talking Turkeys, 1994). Unexpectedly perhaps, for a poet associated with protest literature, many of Zephaniah’s poems are tempered by hope, humour and laughter. 'I was so taken aback by his face. Dr James Procter, 2010.

To care for small humans, all you have to do is keep them fed, watered, rested and equipped with the necessary cognitive and emotional skills to process the constant onslaught of heterosexist and cissexist messaging that assaults our senses every day.

No big deal, right? I was one of those kids who inhaled books growing up — as I suspect many of you were too — but now as an adult in bookstores and libraries I’m often exasperated at the options available to my younger siblings. There’s so much I want to share with them, and it’s rarely easy to figure out how. Adults can debate endlessly about when it’s appropriate to “expose” children to “sensitive” topics like sex and sexuality, gender expression and diversity, non-conventional methods of conception and so on, but kids don’t live in isolated bubbles — they’re right here in our complex, messy world with us.
