A Child's Brain by Robert A Sylwester
Written for parents and educators, this guide explains the latest neuroscience research regarding how a child's brain works and how to nurture children for optimal development.
"Sylwester makes a strong case for how neuroscience has changed the knowledge base and offers ways the new knowledge could and should be incorporated into planning for a child’s educationThe author’s subtle sense of humor communicates complex conclusions with great effectiveness." -- Barbara Clark, Professor Emeritus
"This valuable, reader-friendly book helps parents, teachers, and others who work with young children understand the complex and amazing processes involved as the young brain grows and develops." -- David A. Sousa, Consultant in Educational Neuroscience
"The book reminds us of the importance of nurturing children during a time when schools are facing the great stress of having students perform on standardized tests. We need to help children develop from their core through nurture, even if that development cannot be measured on a test." -- Sonia Trehan Kelly, Director
