Here is a book that offers parents hundreds of practical things they can do in daily life to influence, encourage, and--best of all--maximize their child's learning ability. Whether you have a young child attending preschool or a teen in high school, you can provide the essential experiences to enable your child to excel in many areas.

In private practice for over twenty-five years, Dr. Lauren Bradway has observed that children, beginning in infancy, tend to favor a particular way of taking in and recalling information. Some children prefer sights, others sounds, and still others, touch and movement. Dr. Bradway refers to these three style of learners as Lookers, Listeners, and Movers, respectively.

After determining a particular child's learning style, she selects toys, games, and learning strategies to reinforce talents a child was blessed with at birth and to encourage skills that do not come as naturally. In How to Maximize Your Child's Learning Ability, Dr. Bradway shares the techniques and methods she utilizes in a clinical setting with children. She'll teach you how to develop an individual program for your child designed to produce a more self-assured and balanced learner.
