5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesomeness!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Child, Family, School, Community: Socialization and Support (Paperback)
I get most of my school books online and in used condition. This book was listed as good but I thought it was very good, borderline excellent. This is an important addition to my educational library and I will be referring to it later on in other classes I am sure. Thanks for such a great product!

Great for teacher knowledge,

This review is from: Child, Family, School, Community: Socialization and Support (Paperback)
This is a great book for teachers to help them understand the students they will have in their classes. I learned a lot in the class I took about what the children today are going through and how that affects their learning. I think it will be great to go back to to reference in the future also. A must read for teachers and future teachers.

The All Things Impact our Children,
By ProsperousWoman "LaVera E. Collins-Okoh" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Child, Family, School, Community: Socialization and Support (Paperback)
As a grandmother and Ashford University Online student, I learned a great deal from this text. With so much going on in today's world, we must do all we are able to insure our children are equipped for the challenges ahead. Roberta Berns does an excellent job of breaking down a myraid of pertinent information. I am particularly pleased with the introduction of the Bio-Ecological model, originally from Bronfenbrenner. As of late, I have been privileged to use some of the information in writing a paper for one of my courses. Socialization of children is very important and the child, their family, school, and community MUST come together (putting aside petty differences and agendas) if we are to leave a living legacy of success.
