Learning to Learn

This book will help you to understand what works for the growing brain, and (even more important) what doesn’t!
It is more and more evident that HOW children learn is much more important then WHAT they learn. Babies are born with a drive to learn, but as babies become children this drive can falter. What are the keys to keeping the momentum going, so children are ready for each stage of their childhood as they reach it?
We can influence the quality of learning, without buying specialist DVDs, choosing expensive toys or becoming a ‘helicopter adult” hovering over children and controlling everything they do. Busy parents and practitioners can make sure that the times they have with children are both enjoyable in the present and useful in the future.
This book introduces you to some of the things that affect children’s learning, explains these in readable terms, and gives you simple ways of making sure that children get the best start in their lifelong learning journey.
