Great! Well Worth The Money!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Here is what I liked about this book: 1- It is in an easy to read format. 2- It give you the science behind the ideas. For example, it talks about recent studies with smells and then provides you with some ideas that are related to our sence of smell. 3- The ideas and activities are fairly easy to do at home. They don't require exotic stuff or stuff that costs a fortune (for the most part). They don't require a lot of time. 4- The activities are fun.My only concern is that if you buy this book with the idea in mind that you are raising the next genius I think you are making a mistake. However, if you want some fun, easy to do ideas that you can do at home with very little money and effort, this is a great book. If you want to understand how the brain works in your child, this is a great book. If you think your child is musically inclined and want to provide more stimulation in that area, then you might find some good ideas in this book. Just don't think you are going to buy this book and then have a genius. Great Book. Enjoy!
Start Smart: Building Brain Power in the Early Years
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I am the mother of three children-for obvious reasons- a stay at home mom. I just finished reading Start Smart. The information is easy to understand and the activities are simple to do. My kids love "Mr. Wiggle and Mr. Waggle." I told them that water fuels their brains and now they ask me for water all the time. We do cross-lateral movement together every morning and I am thrilled to know that something this simple is good for all of us. We eat our lunch on red placemats. I put a yellow placemat on top of my son's desk where he does his homework. Dr. Schiller's suggestions fit right into our everyday activities. I feel that I am making the best of my time with my little ones. My sister, who works with young children, gave me this book when my last child was born. She said,"Trust me on this one." So, to all you teachers and parents, I will quote my sister by saying,"TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!"
