A Pearl for Creating Pearls

If you want a pearl, you have to put a grain of sand in the shell. There are many low-cost approaches here to help jump-start kids off the couch, away from the glass box they are staring at, and into a successful and enjoyable learning experience. Also for the kid in you (like Julia Cameron's "Artist's Dates"), and for grandparents too!.

Every parent should read this book!

This book is an excellent source of activities for families who want their children to be thinking, solution-oriented and independant people. The author obviously has had a great deal of experience with children, and is looking to build the multiple intelligences - based on Harvard Professor Howard Gardener's information. I have given this as a gift to many friends, and they love it, too!

So practical! So insightful!

Wow! I wish my parents had a book like this when I was growing up! Then again, maybe they did. The lost art of creative parenting is unearthed in the diggings of this study of human learning and growth. This book will make you smarter, and anyone that you are brave enough to lend it to. To be on the safe side, you might want to buy two copies. It makes a great gift.

THIS IS THE BOOK WE WERE WAITING FOR

It sounds so easy when someone explains it to you. How to observes your child and determine his or her strengths so you can help him develop naturally. Or as they say in the Army ads, become all that he can be.In these days of hyper-parenting where we race around from activity to lesson and then back to activity, never knowing if we are doing our kid good or stressing him out, getting tangled up in the competition of quantity verses quality, it is a tremendous relief to finally have some guidance re how to relax and do the right thing -- for your child and for yourself.Thanks.
