5.0 out of 5 stars Sane, balanced and informative advice to parents and teacher, 10 Oct 1999
In the present climate of goals for pre-school children and the pressure on schools to do well in league tables, children have come under pressure to fit into formal learning at younger and younger ages. This book is an inspiration to any parent who wants to help to nurture their individual child's potential, by offering sensible suggestions to learning problems, and a reassuring voice to over anxious adults. Based on clear scientific information, Jane M. Healy explains how the physical growth of the brain affects the child's abilities to learn at each stage of development, how every stage needs time to express itself and that pushing too far too soon can be harmful. As the mother of three boys, I can't recomend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, informative, useful book about child development., 21 May 1996
By A Customer
This excellent and easily read book is a "must read" for parents. As a support group leader for 37 home schooling families, I recommend this book as a priority buy for the home library. It gives parents a realistic view of what children are and are not capable of at different stages in their developement. It helps us realize just what our children's capabilities are and how to maxamize our teaching. Dr. Healy's writing style is very easy to read, informative and lively. The chapters are laid out in such a way as to make it easy to find any area of interest. For most of us, motivation is a subject we discuss often. Under "Tools for Learning," she lists "Motivation (pg.190)," and "Ingredients for Motivation (pg. 214). In each chapter, she outlines key information about the subject, for example "Raising Motivated Learners," and "Dealing with Motivation Problems." She gives anecdotal stories to underscore the information she presents, which makes it much easier for a layman to understand. This book definitely impacted not only my teaching style, but bettered my relationship with my teenager. This is an important book to have in your home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every parent should read this book!, 16 Mar 1999
By A Customer
It details in a clear, parent-friendly way the various developmental phases growing children go through and explains why it is so important that they be allowed to go through those phases. I wish this book had been available when my children were young! It makes an excellent gift to give to new parents.
