Raising Your Spirited Child
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which discusses the validity of Mary Kurcinka's book, 'Raising Your Spirited Child.' Although this book is not necessarily written by a academic specialist, it is a book which has taken a great deal of scientific research, and behavioral research into consideration in providing a very complete book that enables the parent or adult to deal with the spirited child. Kurcinka provides many examples of children and their experiences in a successfully illustrative way which gives the reader the notion that there is hope for these spirited children, without having to resort to the more commonly used method of control these days, medication.

Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" - Experience And Failure
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. When Randy Pausch said "experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted" in The Last Lecture speech he gave shortly before his death, his intention was to get people thinking about the benefit of failure. It is not that the late professor wanted others to make a habit out of not being successful but rather he valued failure as a key learning tool in the lessons of life. His message in short was that from failure comes enlightenment. Most people are taught to avoid defeat and disappointment because it somehow equates to less than a winning character. Pausch wanted to make an obvious point about how absolutely off the mark that type of indoctrination is to the quest for achievement, so he incorporated the aspect of failure into his class curriculum by awarding one student team a stuffed penguin who took the greatest risk and experienced the greatest failure. Symbolic of Pausch's penchant for empowering others, the penguin stood for the need to try and fail in order to succeed in life. No additional sources cited.

Rationale for a Student Assistance Program
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing the need for and structuring of a Student Assistance Program (SAP) in the school setting. There are many and varied programs available designed to help people of all ages deal with the stresses of life and focusing specifically on drug and alcohol abuse. Though many such programs exist, a feature common to most is that they are not well known in the communities they serve. Participation commonly is in the form of a "sentence" imposed by some civil authority, and many individuals already have lived most of their lives devoted to their specific addictions. Modeled on the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) model, the SAP works to accomplish identification and intervention much earlier, and on a voluntary basis in every case possible. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
