“Well, the title of my books is The Physics of Childhood Replacing Modern Myth With Simple Strategy and basically, as with the times, it’s kind of a myth busting book regarding how we are raising our children in this country.”
Ivazes says she drew on all of the experiences in her lifetime to build the chapters of the book. She has worked in teaching, bio-feedback and stress management for youth and holds a degree in psychology. She says she has also gained experience being a caregiver, a nanny, a mentor and a mother of 3 and grandmother of seven children. She has also spent a great deal of time focusing on social networking, from Face Book to You Tube and other social networks.
“Exactly and also how to balance out the other needs in their life because nothing should ever replace face to face contact and interaction in our community.”
Christina Ivazes will be at Booktown Books this Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m. for a book signing of her new book during the Downtown Grass Valley Cornish Christmas.
