Description: Hailed by parents and educators, ***Your Child's Growing Mind*** is a reliable, clearly written guide to learning skills for children. Dr. Healy begins by translating the most current scientific theories on nervous-system development into practical information for parents. She then explains in detail how children develop language and memory, and addresses academic learning—reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics. In due course she furnishes a scathing indictment of early pressure on children to read, and provides the first scientifically documented refutation of the "superbaby" myth.
