Child's Play Is Child's Learning

This book contains 365 fun activities for children that teach resourcefulness, self-esteem, teamwork and other character building qualities. The authors feel that children learn best through play. Parents don't always recognize that they are their child's main teachers. Although a child learns a great deal in school, it is important to promote reading and writing skills at home. Some learning activities are very simple. Just work them into your daily life and be rewarded by a child who takes life-long pleasure in reading and writing.

Excellent book, creative and practical.

As a psychologist, clients who are parents are frequently concerned about ways to communicate some of the strengths they gained by being in therapy to their children. They want to communicate some of the values and lessons of emotional intelligence in a palatable way. This book really succeeds in addressing some of the important issues and in providing fun ways of teaching them to children

Great Projects, educational & character building ideas.

I really have enjoyed this book. The projects have many great qualities. They help build character, make a child feel great because of what the can accomplish, and give them a way to feel creative. My son needed help with self esteem. They had many projects that help to boost self esteem. This book is a must for all parents. It is so full of things you can do with your children, you will not even need another book
