Get smart: Assisting your child's development

Many parents would like to assist their child's development beyond the efforts of kindergarten. This book offers the necessary background information: latest results in brain research, psychology and early childhood pedagogy are presented in a simple yet detailed way. Katharina Bäcker-Braun distinguishes several fields of intelligence that have to be treated each in a different way: there is linguistic, musical, mathematical, physical, spiritual and emotional intelligence.

Matching every field of research, the author assembles a fantastic treasury of games, impulses and ideas for crafting.

This book is a very useful and substantiated guide through early development from baby to pre-school and assists with helpful advice in questions of education. Bäcker-Braun shows how parents and their children alike can benefit from this partnership in development.
