Einstein Never Used Flashcards How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need To Play More And Memorize Less

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.Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick is the author of 'Einstein Never Used Flashcards How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need To Play More And Memorize Less', published 2004 under ISBN 9781594860683 and ISBN 1594860688.
