If I had to select my top ten books that help me understand children's brains and how I can facilitate learning, growth, and creativity Ellen Galinsky's book would be high on the list.
This book doesn't promote a formulaic ways of parenting - children aren't robots; they're individuals. It is a book about children for thinking parents
Galinsky identifies "essential life skills" that children need most and shows parents what they can do to build these skills in their children for today and for the future. They don't cost money, and it's never too late to begin.
They are the skills that give children the ability to focus on their goals so that they can learn more easily and communicate what they've learned. These are the skills that prepare children for the pressures of modern life, skills that they will draw on now and for years to come
