ISBN: 9780387224176 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Recent developmental research has demonstrated a relationship between sleep/wake patterns and different kinds of problem behaviors, including social adjustment problems, family coercion, and disaffection from school. Adolescents who... At the start of every school day, it's not an unfamiliar sight to see younger children bounding toward school, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready ... |
