By Sally Goddard Blythe

Fifty-two percent of parents admit they never read to their child. Toddlers watch 41/2 hours of television daily. Increasingly, children are obese, enter school developmentally delayed, and require special education.

Sally Goddard Blythe draws on neuroscience to reveal how the wisdom of nursery rhymes, playing traditional games, and fairy stories contribute to healthy child development. She explains why movement is importand and how games develop the skills of children at different stages of development. She offers a starter kit of stories, action games, songs and rhymes.
