New Links on our web for the week of June 4, 2008 Parenting Resources Greater Good Science Center "Housed at the University of California, Berkeley, the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) is "devoted to the scientific understanding of happy and compassionate individuals, strong social bonds, and altruistic behavior." To achieve this goal, the GGSC enlists a broad range of scholars from various disciplines, publishes a quarterly magazine ("Greater Good"), and maintains an outreach program that includes a website designed for parents who wish to foster emotional intelligence in their children. On their homepage, visitors can look over the "What's New?" area to learn about recent findings, view webcasts with experts from the Center, and also read about their latest publications. Next, visitors may want to go to the "Magazine" area to read articles from the latest issue of "Greater Good" magazine. This publication has been nominated for a number of awards, and topics covered between its pages include the importance of play and the binuclear family. Finally, the "For Parents" area contains a number of fine resources on parenting, including a number of short videos that cover emotional literacy, how to praise, and the value of family dinner."
