Books by Mildred Masheder
... enjoyment, fun and creative learning in childood. Every child's birthright.
Introduction
I believe that caring for children is the best job in the world, although this is not necessarily acknowledged.
My books are all directed at parents, teachers and all others who care for children. The books are mostly full of ideas for activities as children learn about the world through creative action. They incorporate worthwhile values whilst always having the emphasis on en joyment.
There is much about co-operation and peaceful conflict resolution, also about the joys of being in touch with nature and the necessity of preserving the planet.
There is a great deal on the kind of education that every child needs: one that encourages the natural thirst for knowledge and one that is enjoyable and stimulating without being dogged by the endless pursuit of examinations and the threat of league tables.
In the present climate the whole concept of childhood is being undermined by the purveyors of the consumer society and it is necessary for all who care for children to ensure that they enjoy to the full their natural heritage of a creative childhood.
