Ideal for parents and caregivers interested in boosting their children's learning potential and academic success through evidence-based methods.

Education is more important than ever. Yet some children – with parent and teacher blessing – write themselves off and think they are not good enough to achieve highly. The latest research shows most children can reach levels of performance at a school previously associated with only the high achieving, gifted and talented.

Description

Great Minds and How to Grow Them is a handbook for parents that shows how they can grow the minds of their children and teenagers and guide them to success both at school and in life. The latest neurological and psychological research is proving that most children are capable of reaching high levels of performance that were previously associated only with the gifted and talented.

Brains are malleable and IQ is not fixed; yet, without parental engagement in their learning, many children don’t reach the levels of performance that are associated with academic success. Combining new knowledge with extensive research into how we learn, this book proves that by using simple, everyday techniques that are both rooted in research and accessible for parents, children can learn to learn more successfully.
