Espanol Health Books

great book, kids stayed interested, It was fun to read to my group.. Im sure it will be a favorite!

The "germ book" is the one my toddler asks for over and over again the most. It's a fun book, with lots of opportunities for fun voices and hand gesturing. And guess what? Now she likes to wash her hands! And please rest assured: your kid won't become an obsessive-compulsive germophobe after looking at this book. The author's goal is NOT to scare kids into washing their hands every 10 minutes, but simply to get them to wash up before eating. Watch for the germs to go "swirling, whirling down the drain" with your child, and she will look forward to keeping clean and have fun while doing it.
In all, it's a fun, educational book. The dialog is rythmic, repetitve, and memorable, which even a 2 year-old can appreciate.

As another reviewer suggests, this is a great book to get children to do what you want them to. Never mind that it entails lying to children, treating germs as vicious invaders who look like hammers and do things they don't in reality (for instance, causing headaches). Insulting and manipulative. It's books like this that cause people to become obsessive-compulsive.

Wow! Some people really don't like teaching kids to wash their hands. First of all, most parents or teachers know that no book is a stand-alone for any given topic. Of course more discussion is necessary. Secondly, anyone who has spent time in a room full of little kids can see that they touch every available surface, wipe their nose, and put their fingers in their mouths. Trying to keep them from getting the bug that everyone else has is practically impossible, but washing hands frequently does help. And realize, people do go to the hospital as a result of some of these bugs.

My children (4-1/2 years and 20 months) enjoyed this book. My preschooler liked the pattern and emotion of the story, and my toddler liked the photographs. I can't say it made them want to wash hands any more, but at least it introduced them to the idea that we need to wash the germs off. I must add that I didn't really like the idea of one germ, the worst germ, staying on the girl's hands after she washed them, but it didn't seem to bother my kids. I would have liked to have added in the story how soap helps the water wash the germs off, since my preschooler will rinse her hands with water but sometimes puts up a fight about soap.

This book really helped our Daughter learn about germs and the importance of hand washing. Very good for young children to relate to.

This book let me knew a lot of things I must have to change in my life

Este es un pequeño libro -en lo que a cantidad de páginas respecta- que ofrece mucho. Uno más del ya anciano evangelista puertorriqueño Yiye Avila, que trata una disciplina cristiana de importancia para la vida espiritual dinámica.

Avila aborda diversos aspectos del ayuno cristiano: sus bases bíblicas, los diversos tipos de ayuno -parcial, completo, con agua, etc-, cómo comenzar a ayunar si usted no lo ha hecho antes, y sumamente importante, como terminar un ayuno (ya que comer mucho luego de un ayuno prolongado puede dañar la salud), la utilidad del ayuno como arma espiritual, la parte de la oración en lo que al ayuno respecta y los beneficios físico del ayuno.

Por sobre todo, el autor es una autoridad en el asunto, puesto que es un ministro que ha ayunado él mismo. Sabe de qué está hablando y lo hace bien. Para quienes no son pentecostales, vale decir, que es una perpectiva pentecostal, no obstante -si no fuera pentecostal el lector- de todos modos le será sumamente util su lectura.

Le recomiendo para la devocion espiritual, Pulpito y Poesia: Recursos poeticos para la predicacion, la ensenanza y la devocion espiritual y para quienes son predicadoras y predicadores del Evangelio, un buen recurso de bosquejos: Bosquejos de Sermones: Para dias y ocasiones especiales

Este libro me a servido bastante, y todavia me quedan los capitulos finales por leer.
La verdad que te llama la atencion a poner cuidado detalles que no son tan "detalles" como pensamos, sino mas bien cosas que uno pasa por alto en el trato con los demas. Por ejemplo, te olvidas de mirar a los ojos a la persona, el poder de decir el nombre de la gente, o dar la mano medio floja al cliente que llega a tu oficina, y tantos otros. Es un libro para la vida diaria. En el trabajo y la casa ya me ha dado muy buenos resultados... para descubrir nuevas maneras de mejorar las relaciones (de pareja, profesional, amista) y/o refrescar las olvidadas, este libro por lo menos a mi, me esta dando una buena mano.

Todo es muy aprovechable, util y conciso, como se suele decir: "va directo al grano". Es una perpectiva cristiana, por lo cual, el autor suele referir a las Escrituras para aclarar sus puntos, asi como tambien a conocimientos de la sicologia y la sociologia. Una lectura accesible, agradable, con abundante ejemplos de la vida real. Tambien contiene graficos para que uno pueda entender mejor, algunas fotografias, y ejercicios o preguntas de reflexion al final de cada capitulo (son 19 capitulos).

En definitiva, me gusto es muy completo para la cantidad de paginas. No es un tratado profundo, ni extenso (son 120 paginas), pero lo que tiene esta muy bien aprovechado. Lo recomiendo, sea para regalo o para el crecimiento personal

Primera recomendación, ¡No se deje engañar por el arte no tan atractivo de la tapa del libro! Los mejor está adentro... por lo menos en el caso del presente.

"Como Relacionarse Mejor" es un trabajo que está equilibrado entre la razón, el sentir y la fe. Es una tematica complicada, pero el autor sabe cómo ir "directo al grano" con delicadeza y autoridad en la materia. Su lectura me fue de enorme beneficio (familiar, matrimonial y laboral). Contiene ejemplos de la vida real, que bien pudieran ser los de la vida de uno misma.

Contiene 19 capitulos, ordenado bajo tres secciones principales.

I)SECCION TEORICA: Aproximación a los factores básicos de las relaciones humanas. (Esta sección a mi parecer es por demás util, ya que fundamenta las siguientes dos secciones; no obstante, por ser la "teórica" es la menos practica... pero de todos modos lo lleva a pensar sobre usted mismo, a verse como en un espejo y reflexionar sobre su personalidad, sus rasgos, tanto como a discernir mejor a otros a su alrededor)

Los capitulos dentro de esta sección son:
1) concepto de personalidad humana,
2). personalidad y relaciones,
3). teorías sobre la personalidad,
4). la motivación humana,
5). motivación y necesidad social,
6). el poder de las emociones,
7). la dimension teológica.

II) SECCION PRACTICA: tecnicas que contribuyen al mejor desarrollo de las relaciones. (Esta sección es el corazón del trabajo, que tiene un fuerte enfasis en la comunicación y maneras practicas de mejorarla, de "cómo" funciona el asunto). Ramos seguido presenta varios puntos de vista, y sin ser demasiado dogmático, deja abiertas posibilidades para explorar y modificar las tecnicas).

Los capitulos en esta seccion son:
8). Tecnicas de comunicacion no verbal,
9). Mas comunicacion no verbal,
10). el habla como medio comunicativo,
11), tecnicas de lenguaje verbal,
12). sobre el habla conversacional,
13). cómo iniciar un dialogo?,
14). ¿como mantener un dialogo entretenido,
15).continuemos dialogando

III) SECCION TERAPEUTICA: como entender y superar las crisis en las relaciones dañadas. (Esta sección es algo así como, ¿Cómo proceder cuando se han dañado las relaciones que hubieramos podido mejorar o aún queremos mejorar. Terapia, refiere a sanidad, a curación, a remediar. Como las demas secciones, en cada capítulos se encuentran directivas, sugerencias utiles para la vida practica.

Los capitulos de esta seccion son:
16). los conflictos en las relaciones,
17). Actitudes y resolucion de conflictos,
18). Tecnicas de resolucion de conflictos,
19). Como evitar conflictos. Note, que contiene una bibliografía no menos importante al final del libro.

Al final del libro contiene las Notas y una Bibliografia que pudiera ser de gran ayuda para quienes desen continuar leyendo otros libros de referencia y profundizar más aún en el tema. -el presente no es una traduccion del inglés, pero me indigno con frecuencia, cuando a las traducciones al español, les quitan la bibliografía, como si los pueblos hispanos no las utilizaramos o no supieramos otros idiomas-

Una de mis partes favoritas son, "como hablarle a cualquier persona acerca de cualquier tema". Los he estado recomendado, con sincero gusto,y aca lo hago una vez mas. Suerte y disfrute su lectura.

Por el mismo autor.
Pulpito y Poesia: Recursos poeticos para la predicacion, la ensenanza y la devocion espiritual

If you or your little one is a Disney fan you will enjoy this & the other Spanish/English Disney books. This book is easy to read in either language; has great illustrations with kids favorite Disney characters. It does a great job of continuing to expose your kid to a variety of Spanish words & language structure. It is a board book so it is sturdy for many ready. Kids 1 1/2 to 5 will still enjoy this; then older kids can read it themselves.

This book is my 18 month old daughter's favorite book of all of the Baby's 1st Disney Books. She really enjoys the bright colorful pictures. What I like in this particular book, is that it sticks with the same theme throughout the entire book. Dopey's bedtime routine includes cleaning up, taking a bath, brushing his teeth, having a cup of water, getting ready for bed, having a story read, and having a lullaby sung to everyone. My daughter likes to look at the pictures, and tell me what she sees, she sees everyone doing dishes she says "Clean Up", she see's dopey taking a bath she says "Bath"....

Una gran obra, que inspira no solo a los que se inician en este sendero (como dijera Osho), sino a los que ya llevan sus años, practicando dias tras dia, en silencio, experimentando, abriendo puertas... asi aparece esta obra que ayuda, aclara e inspira a seguir con humildad y devocion este hermoso sendero que como dijera mi maestra "en algun momento de nuestras vidas,sea en esta o en otra ya iniciamos".

This is the version in spanish from the book Sexual Secrets. It's a great book and focuses on tantra and taoism. It has a lot of beautiful illustrations and has a lot of "secret" techniques for your sex life. It's really about sacred sexuality and covers all aspectes of it. Truthfully, one of the best, if not the best.

We started reading this book at 5 months. By 8 mos my son would point to familiar objects like the spoon with food on it. It is long enough to have substance, but short enough to hold the attention of the youngest reader. Minimal words, mostly drawn pictures. My son is a year now and still likes it; this one features common phrases like "Hold still," and "Go to sleep!"

I bought these books for my two year old son whose name is David. He giggles every time I read his name in the books.

Both my kids related to ALL of Shannon's book's. We own them all. The imaginative parent doesn't need a whole lot of words...because the pictures tell you what to add lib. AWESOME, my kids wanted to hear these over and over.

We read these books when my son was about 18 months. He was resisting diaper changes and nap time. After reading this books he would say, "Jeffrey PU" and let me change him. The end of the book shows the mom cuddling with David with David's eyes closed. We talked about how he was happy and sleeping. We would read it at bed time and nap time and my son would be okay going in his crib with no fuss after reading it. Now my son is 2 1/2 and David has come to the rescue again. In "David goes to school" there is a page where David needs to go to the bathroom. This simple book with wild illustrations helped my son pee in the potty for the first time. Super. These books are great!

My family loves this book so much, we named our 3rd child after it. Yes, my kids named our 3rd child David! So yes, it is a very cute book. All the David Shannon books are great!

My 15 month old and I love this book. We have and love all 3 Diaper David books.

We started reading this book at 5 months. By 8 mos my son would point to familiar objects like the bathtub ducky. It is long enough to have substance, but short enough to hold the attention of the youngest reader. Minimal words, mostly drawn pictures. My son is a year now and still likes it; this one also features beginner words like DOG and BATH.

I bought these books for my two year old son whose name is David. He likes to hear his name in the story.

My nine month old absolutely LOVES this book! It's the craziest thing; he literally squeals with excitement when I read it to him and tries to turn the pages in anticipation of what's next. I end up reading it over and over (which is not difficult since the whole thing has about ten words) because he gets very upset when it ends. Yes, it is utterly simplistic, but it is also surprisingly captivating for little ones. To those who criticize: I am sure this book is meant for those with very short attention spans and little knowledge of the English language. It's a BABY book!

We received this book as a gift when my son was born, and he's been captivated by it from about 4 months old even till now, at age 2. Simple words but lively illustrations with just enough humor to make it interesting to parents as well. I recommend the whole series of "diaper david" books and can't wait for my son to get a little older to introduce "No David" to him.
