Abstract: Under the background of joint operations, new requirements and challenges are put forward for the talents training of joint operations commanders, especially for their higher leadership level. Cadets are reserve forces of joint operations command talents in the future, and their leadership level directly determines the quality and efficiency of the future military combat effectiveness. At present, military academy mainly through the course learning, case analysis and management practices to improve the leadership cadets, this model has two deficiencies: it lacks practicality and pertinence. From the perspective of the training effect, there is a gap between the leadership level of cadets and the requirements of the leadership of officers in the new era. This paper intends to explore new methods, new approaches and new ideas of leadership development through project management methods. Taking the typical task scenario of new junior instructors organizing new cadets' queue training as an example, from two categories according to the different leadership objects: self-leadership skills and social leadership skills to analyze the specific contents of cadet leadership, from initiate a project, project planning, project execution, project supervision and control, closing projects five-step project management cadets leadership training method, form a complete and operational leadership training model.

Abstract: In the United States, parental incarceration is an adverse childhood experience that impacts between 2.7 and 10 million children at some point in their lives. Approximately 40% of confined parents have children under 10 years old. One in five affected children is under the age of five. These children are not always informed of the whereabouts of their incarcerated parents. Resultant ambiguity may leave young children confused and even internalizing their parent’s absence as their fault. The non-incarcerated caregiver may feel uncomfortable or ill-equipped to discuss incarceration with young children. Caregivers generally have important insights into children’s emotions and interpersonal behavior as a prerequisite and follow-up for these important discussions. Developmental researchers suggest that creative interventions such as the use of bibliotherapy, the power of tailored literary works (storybooks), can guide the caregiver-child dyad in discussion about sensitive topics in age-appropriate ways. The use of bibliotherapy-based literary works are germane for parental discussions on sensitive topics such as loss due to death, military deployments, and major transitions. It is plausible that empirically based bibliotherapy literature can help children to cope with issues of separation and loss– emotional distress, possible trauma, and the social stigma– related to parental incarceration. The empirical literature drawing from caregivers’ insights, practices, and theory is scant, however, leaving theoretical and literature gaps. The purpose of this qualitative community-based research using grounded theory data analysis was to understand caregivers’ communication practices regarding parental incarceration and to explore how, if at all, tailored storybooks could help with these discussions. Data collection entailed 8 focus group interviews conducted in the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan area with 22 caregivers of children ages ten and under, with a parent in jail or prison. Triangulation ensured the construction of a robust mid-level theory entitled, Caregivers Family Relations Assessment and Communications Strategies (C-FRACS). The findings explain how communication regarding parental incarceration occurs within the context of assessing a child’s holistic well-being (emotional, physical, social, and psychological). Caregivers’ epistemological knowledge and communication strategies were integrated into three child-friendly, age-appropriate storybooks authored by the researchers and vetted by caregivers and a child psychologist, to assist with parent-child discussions regarding parental incarceration. Implications and recommendations on caregiver attunement, paired with bibliotherapy-based interventions, are discussed.

Abstract: The article deals with the peculiarities and contradictions of the social role of a mother of a child with developmental abnormalities. It is defined that modern culture lacks social norms of behavior of mothers of special children that complicates communicative processes and socialization of this category of women. The components of psychotrauma of the mother and the contradictions of the situation of abnormal development of the child were singled out. The influence of the contradictions of the social role of the mother as the factor of maternal needs-motivational sphere deficiency and the style of maternal attitude in the case of the child development abnormality was analyzed. 120 mothers raising children with developmental disabilities were surveyed. The style of maternal attitude was diagnosed using the OMO author's questionnaire (O. A. Ziborova and T. V. Degtyarenko). The level of certainty and peculiarities of contradictions in mothers' interactions were assessed according to A. Mehrabian's methodology. It was revealed that mothers who were able to accept the contradiction of the situation of the child's developmental disorders as a challenge through the experience realized the need to revise values and meanings. The emotional regulation of behavior of such mothers is aimed at mastering the habits of modeling the optimal style of maternal attitude, which determines new ways of interaction with the environment. Contradictions in social interaction are most defined in mothers who showed inadequate maternal attitude styles. Weakly manifested affects and mechanisms of positive functioning of the personality do not provide the resolution of contradictions, which leads to passive adaptation of the mother to the psychological trauma and negatively influences the development of the child. The results of the study show that the social role of the mother of a child with special needs contains contradictions that reflect the contradictions of modern culture. The conducted empirical research confirms the influence of psychotrauma and contradictions of mother interaction on the formation of maternal attitude style. Identification of features and contradictions of the social role of a mother of a special child can help to improve the targeting of corrective measures to compensate for specific deficits of maternal-child interactions and the socialization of mother and child.
