Book Reviews of Einstein Never Used Flashcards: How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less
Book Review: Simply Superb
Summary: 5 Stars
Haven't we all intuitively known this? That kids can learn from playing. We all knew, but never had the evidence to back up what we always had known in our hearts. Well now I have the evidence. Now, I won't feel guilty for teaching my kids that learning through exploring is just as valuable if not more so than shoving facts into their already crammed heads. Let kids be kids. Let imagination reign. Lets stop carting the kids to every activity we can possibly sign up for. Moms like me can now breathe, and know that our children will turn out just fine! Thanks for this book!Book Review: About time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ultimately, this exciting book is about time. It's about time this important subject was objectively studied. It's about how you spend your time with your children and how your children will enjoy their time with you. In teaching us to spend our time creatively with our children, Kathy Hirsh Pasek and Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, use their vast clinical research experience to show us that educational childhood development does not have to be a race, but rather a creative journey. Enjoy!Book Review: Great book everyone with or without children should read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is fantastic. I have been waiting for a book to challenge what I have always sort of suspected. Shoving knowledge into our children's brains cannot be good for them. I was so wary to do this with my own children, and I was so scared that my kids would fall behind. Now, not only do I know that they won't, but I know creative and exciting ways to inspire them to actually want to learn. This book does so much more than just tell you the latest studies that warn against flashcards and other products; it offers solution for how we can make kids engaged in learning. Any book that makes parents and children alike excited about the prospect of creative play makes me jump for joy. GO OUT AND GET THIS BOOK!Book Review: All Parents Should Stop and Read This One
Summary: 5 Stars
Parents have so much information to sift through it is hard not to second guess yourself. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching and I still find that I get confused when making choices for my 3 year old son. You often wonder, will this decision change his life forever. The authors of this book offer a lot of information that you can use when making choices for your family and your children. We are all hurrying along in life so much that we are missing the simplest things and not enjoying parenting. Our kids are stressed out from their full schedules and do not have adequate time to play. I already shared many of the same philosophies presented in the book but it is comforting to have some research to back up my gut instincts. After all raising a child is a precious gift.
