This study analyses the ways in which motherhood is represented in a corpus of contemporary, critically acclaimed Australian adolescent fiction.

The publicity, prestige and power attached to these awards means that short-listed books, taken to be 'good' books for children and adolescents, are often used as educational resources in Australian schools, particularly to support teaching and learning activ

This study examined the effects of teaching nurturance to preschool-aged boys on their aggressive, nurturant, and prosocial behavior.

The intervention, nurturing doll play, was introduced in a multiple baseline across subjects design. The boys were observed for aggressive, nurturant, and prosocial behavior during observational play sessions and in natural play settings. Results did not provide clear evidence that th

Behavior problems are quite common in preschool.  Without effective intervention, children with behavior problems are at risk for rejection by teachers, peers and academic failure. But many children in preschool are not diagnosed and are not getting the support they need. At the age of two, children can show both prosocial and aggressive behavior with peers. Researchers stress the importance of positive peer relationships in childhood, because early childhood is the time children learn how to interact with each other.

Gender studies within IR in particular have been focused on foreign policy opinion, seeking to discover whether men and women have different views on foreign policy simply due to the fact that they are of different genders. The correlate of this is that if women believe differently than men, in which way do they believe differently and if this were then taken to

Aggressive behavior of young children has always existed. In kindergarten, teachers and children will encounter the consequences frequently. However, not all teachers have enough experience and knowledge to deal with children’s aggressive behavior. Children’s aggressive behavior will not only affect the teacher’s curriculum, the relationship between teachers and children, but also the relationship between children. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to provide teachers with interventions that can help young children reduce aggressive behavior while improving peer interaction.

From an ecological perspective, current data and models suggest that our approach to understanding and preventing rural suicide must be multifaceted, addressing the individual level (e.g., traditional risk factors such as psychiatric illness),
