Great for parents and teachers!
As the mother of a 3 year old son, I found the book to offer great insights for his current age - allowing him to choose what is showcased on the refrigerator, having him "read the pictures" and encouraging him to be happy that he "reads like a 3 year old", as well as providing games and projects for us to work on as he progresses.I found it to be very helpful, easy to read, and broken down into small tasks/projects that are very easy to follow. ...

Preschool done at home
My daughter is a year old right now, but I have begun to look at preschool curriculum for her to complete at home.I was homeschooled in elementary school and loved the experience; I want to share my love of learning with my children.
Excellent
This is by far the best children's educational book both me and my wife have read (and there have been MANY). The impact made from the activities has been amazing and the kids can't wait for the next lesson. A must have for parents with young children. ... Read more

Great resource for those who work with teens
This book follows in the footsteps of Jackson's other "Activities..." books.He presents excellent activities which are simple and easy to use.Although this book is written for families, I have found this book to be a great supplemental resource for teaching values to youth and whole families through my job, for a mentoring program.Jackson seems to have an endless supply of hands-on activities for use with teens and children. ...

What a disappointment!
I had such high hopes for this book, but found myself sorely disappointed. Yes, it's a quick read (as one of the other reviews noted) -- that's because there's hardly any information in it! It basically offers the information one could find in just about any issue of just about any mainstream baby or parenting magazine: that children's intelligence is a combination of nature and nurture and that to maximize your child's brain development you should offer them a loving, stimulating environment. ... I find it difficult to imagine that any parent motivated enough to buy this book doesn't already know all that. There seemed to be very little practical advice (certainly almost nothing beyond what one could glean from common sense and a cursory reading of a few elementary magazine articles). Great book for all new parents
This book is terrific!A very quick read (especially important for new parents!) and full of very valuable information.This book is great because of the clear cut advice and practical, specific suggestions for enriching your child's early development. Great Starter Book
This book is a quick read and wonderful for getting started on learning how to help your child develop into the best person they can be.Read more

Great for all children, but especially the learning disabled
This book does a very good job of explaining the different sensory systems, how they apply to learning for all children and how that differs for the disabilitis, and then how to create games and fun activities to facilitate learning/develop the skills learned through those senses.The suggestions are more directed toward autism but they are general enough to apply to all mental disabilities and normally progressing children.My only complaints are that it doesn't apply as well to children under 3 and it doesn't have as much information on speech development techniques as I was hoping for.I highly recommend it for all parents. (P.S. It is written in England English) ... Read more
