Excellent Reference for parents of kids Kindergarten and Under

I am still reading this book and have been intrigued with the level of research, resources and information included in the text. It's written in a way that will educate and motivate parents or caregivers to take an active part in their children's development. Even though it's written by a neurologist, it's not overwhelming to interpret. It's a MUST read for parents; an excellent resource for parents of kids ages 0-Kindergarten.

a very useful book to keep

I've looked at a ton of books during my pregnancy, and of all of them, the two most useful, helpful ones so far are What to Expect When You're Expecting and this book, Raise A Smarter Child by Kindergarten. I think that I will return to this book again and again. In chapter 3 alone, there are over 30 activities to do with your child, with clear explanation of what to do as well as how it helps your child. The author's narrative throughout the book is not preachy and he acknowledges his own bias, but presents clear, factual support. This was definitely not money wasted (especially since at the bookstores you pay retail!).

A great guide to nurturing your child's cognitive potential

A fascinating look at brain development in the first few years of life and what parents can do to enhance cognitive potential. Provides some easy to follow advice that all parents can do to stimulate the developing neural pathways and potentially give their kids a boost in cognitive and emotional development. Lots of common sense recommendations here - along with some not so commonly known counsel. Highly recommended!
