Learning Really is Fun

I love and enjoy this book because it really showed me how important learning is for children from a very early age and how much of a role parents play in influencing and motivating their child's learning. It's a great parenting tool in that it shows parents how the teaching and learning process really is effortless when you incorporate it into everyday activities with your child. I found it an easy-to-read, easy-to-follow book with lots of great "learning labs" to do with my child at home. My daughter also found the activities lots of fun not to mention that it gave us some quality time together. I think this is a "must have" book for every parent.

A practical and informative must read for all parents!

Fianlly a practical, easy to read and useful guide for parents with young children. Smart from the Start helps parents make the most of everyday situations and makes learning a very natural, nonthreatening part of everyday life. Lots of useful information on how we learn and how parents can help their children learn. Loved the fun ideas which every parent can try. A very, very practical tool.

Finally a tool that parents and children can use!

It is obvious that the authors of this bok not only have formal experience in education but practical experience in being parents/aunts/grandparents. What I found most useful was the fact that you can jump from one chapter to another depending on the mood of the child. The book also worked with the parents and at no time seemed to talk down to them. This is an effective technique and one that absolutely maximizes the impact this book can have on its readers.
