A Mind At A Time by Mel Levine MD 
ISBN 0743202236 EAN: 9780743202237 Simon Paperback 
WB Price:$25.95
"Different minds learn differently," writes Dr. Mel Levine, one of the best-known learning experts and pediatricians in America today. Some students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all. Yet most schools still cling to a one-size- fits-all education philosophy. As a result, many children struggle because their learning patterns don't fit the way they are being taught. In his #1 "New York Times" bestseller "A Mind at a Time," Dr. Levine shows parents and those who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns, explaining how they can strengthen a child's abilities and either bypass or help overcome the child's weaknesses, producing positive results instead of repeated frustration and failure. Consistent progress can result when we understand that not every child can do equally well in every type of learning and begin to pay more attention to individual learning patterns -- and individual minds -- so that we can maximize children's success and gratification in life.21.54 cms L x 14.27 cms W (0.33 kgs) 352 pages

What's Going On In There? by Lise Eliot
How The Brain and Mind Develop in The First Five Years of Life
ISBN 0553378252 EAN: 9780553378252 Bantam Paperback WB Price: $ 35.95
As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life's work -how the baby's brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed, how can we affect this complex process, how much of her baby's development is genetically ordained--and how much is determined by environment? Is there anything parents can do to make their babies' brains work better-- to help them become smarter, happier people? Drawing upon the exploding research in this field as well as the stories of real children, What's Going On in There? is a lively and thought-provoking book that charts the brain's development from conception through the critical first five years. In examining the many factors that play crucial roles in that process, What's Going On in There? explores the evolution of the senses, motor skills, social and emotional behaviors, and mental functions such as attention, language, memory, reasoning, and intelligence. This remarkable book also discusses: *how a baby's brain is "assembled" from scratch * the critical prenatal factors that shape brain development *how the birthing process itself affects the brain * which forms of stimulation are most effective at promoting cognitive development * how boys' and girls' brains develop differently * how nutrition, stress, and other physical and social factors can permanently affect a child's brain.23.27 cms L x 15.57 cms W (0.75 kgs) 544 pages

They then offer parents 40 age- appropriate games for creative play.

That's why award-winning psychologist Dr. Myrna Shure decided to create a program to give them those skills. It's called I Can Problem Solve (ICPS). The ICPS approach teaches youngsters as young as four not what to think or do, but how to think - and the results are astounding. Through the program's specially designed and fun-to-do dialogues, games, and activities - easily incorporated into everyday family life - a young child learns how to solve problems and resolve conflicts with friends, teachers, and family; explore alternative solutions and their consequences; and understand the feelings of others. With ICPS, shy children become more assertive and impulsive children are less likely to act out when things don't go their way. Most important the ICPS-competent child is better equipped to avoid early destructive behaviors that later can lead to delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and depression. Helping your child become a thinking, feeling individual and grow up to be a socially adjusted, self-confident adult is what Raising a Thinking Child is all about. Based on years of research and evaluation, clinically proven, and child-tested, it may be the most important gift you can share with your child today...for tomorrow. 20.93 cms L x 13.51 cms W (0.20 kgs) 224 pages
