Now Available in Paperback!

In this book two highly credentialed child psychologists offer a compelling indictment of the growing trend toward accelerated learning. It's a message that stressed-out parents are craving to hear: Letting tots learn through play is not only okay-it's better than drilling academics!

Drawing on overwhelming scientific evidence from their own studies and the collective research results of child development experts, and addressing the key areas of development-math, reading, verbal communication, science, self-awareness, and social skills-the authors explain the process of learning from a child's point of view. They then offer parents 40 age-appropriate games for creative play. These simple, fun--yet powerful exercises work as well or better than expensive high-tech gadgets to teach a child what his ever-active, playful mind is craving to learn.

A must read for anyone working with/living with children

This creative and information filled book was an easy read and very useful in explaining to my mother-in-law about the importance of PLAY verses constant educational methods. I have told 10 people to date about this book and I will continue to rave about it to everyone who will listen.

Child Development and Learning (for Dummies)

The book title alone shows that the authors are not interested in sound bites on CNN or FoxNews.

Contains very practical tips for parents. Many parents (and teachers, guardians, babysitters, etc.) of young children will enjoy the tips and greatly benefit from reading this book. It dispels many myths about teaching children, their behavior, their potential.

Among the myths busted are the Einstein Baby Music CDs, which are simply a nice way to promote the appreciation of good music...as I've been telling people who start to talk about the CD set. Don't get me wrong, I really think the Einstein Baby Music series contains the most harmonic and melodic sections of the classical masterpieces and packaged as a very pleasant and relaxing listening experience. Well, if you and your child need to relax and unwind...then "good music" certainly helps.

true excellenceRe

Highly recommended to us by our daughter who is an educator. This book has been extremely helpful in the rearing of our grandsons.

Childhood belongs to children, let them live it.

Every parent has their own 'ideology' when they raise their children. This book is an excellent source for either shaping your ideology or reaffirm yours if you are not a racehorse raiser. The book is not only academically sound but also has a human face. Childhood belongs to children, let them live it.

Good information - not my favorite writing

This book is interesting, & I agree with the information presented. I like how the authors cite research studies to support their ideas/recommendations. I also found the information on how children learn math & reading very interesting.

I read the book straight through over a couple of weeks & found it quite repetitive (I realize that the book is also meant to be read in segments). There are a couple of paragraphs in different chapters that are virtually identical. I also think the authors discouraged flash cards at least 20 times, which I found annoying.
