Essential reading for every parent, caregiver, or early childhood teacher. Dr. Laura Jana has succinctly gathered the essential skills every human needs to learn, and has adapted them into easy-to-understand strategies to guide everyone who influences very young children in the best methods to provide deep roots for skills to best prepare children to achieve their fullest potential. It is my "go to" gift for parents in my preschools, and all of my teachers have a copy at the ready to help them understand young brain development, and how to best prepare very young children with the real skills that are crucial at the earliest ages.
