Description
What if, despite the best of intentions, we are raising our children to succeed in a world that no longer exists? The Toddler Brain helps parents recognize the connection that exists between their own parenting behaviors and their child’s ability to acquire valuable twenty–first–century skills. Dr. Laura A. Jana draws on studies and stories from pediatrics, neuroscience, social science, and childcare, as well as the world of business and innovation to show parents how to equip their children with seven key skills. Dr. Jana explores the importance of play and curiosity, imagination and empathy, and strategically strengthening children’s neural connections in their first five years.

Gena S, Reviewer
I liked this book! I liked how the book compares important adult skills and abilities to a toddler's abilities. The author, Dr. Jana, discusses how we can foster these skills in our children and prepare them for success as an adult. She discusses the things that we already teach our children and gives some additional ideas to further their learning. The QI skills covered are me skills, we skills, why skills, will skills, wiggle skills, wobbles skills, and what if skills. Parents are a key part in a child's learning, especially since their very early years are the most important for learning. She also discusses how we can help other parents and children who are at a disadvantage for learning necessary skills.
