Riassunto

"Different minds learn differently", writes Dr Mel Levine. And that's a problem for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. In this text he shows parents and others who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can encourage a child's strengths and bypass the child's weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement instead of frustration and failure. Different brains are differently wired with eight fundamental systems of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelopmental capacities. Certain students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all eight. Dr Levine urges that we must begin to pay more attention to individual learning styles, to individual minds - so that we can maximize our children's learning potential.

Recensione:

"...it's unlikely you'll know so much about the way the mind develops as Levine, who describes himself as "a paediatrician with a mission"....It's an intriguing insight into how children learn, encouraging parents, teachers and caress to nurture and develop a child's strengths and deal sensitively with any weaknesses." Junior Magazine
