The Importance Of Being Little: What Preschoolers Really Need from Grownups

This is a book I recommend that you read after you have put the kids to sleep and you don't feel like watching Netflix or Game of Thrones. Unplug your TV, make your favorite cup of sleep time tea and enjoy the incredible wisdom contain in the pages of this masterpiece. Read it once and read it twice. As a matter of fact I recommend reading it three times, even if you're on vacation take this book with you. When your kids are old enough read this to them along with Dr. Seuss and various kiddie classics. It's really that good. I'm not kidding you at all.

Fast delivery. Everything OK. Nothing special to say, because they deliver books in mint condition, fast and easy as expected.

I was fortunate to get a prepublication copy of this book. This is a book to read at a sitting, it is so engaging and delightful, but it is also to be savoured and thought about. I share the author's enthusiasm for small children and having taught this age group for many years have experienced some of the same joys and dilemmas, and it is refreshing to read a book that is embedded in experience and is so well-researched. Christakis is clear-thinking, full of common sense, and above all practical and hopeful, and I hope this book is widely read, not just by teachers and parents, but by anyone who has dealings with small children. The early years are vital, and Christakis makes the point, often in witty and amusing ways, that it is up to us all to allow children to develop and flourish intellectually and emotionally at their own pace and in a sympathetic environment.

Livre usagé de très bonne qualité.

As a parent and teacher, I highly recommend this book. I got this originally for insight on raising my kid and creating an environment that supports learning (human connection and play are more important than test prep and work sheets, unsurprisingly), but it also had an impact on me as a teacher. Though I teach high school, it's inspired me to try out some things in the classroom that might help ignite students' interest in actually learning vs. getting good grades.This book is pretty common sense, but still worth the read. The author is pretty realistic, and aside from the fact that after turning an outdoor frog (or was it a toad?) into a pet for a while, she released it back into the wild, she has some good ideas and advice.
