Child & developmental psychology; Health & Self-Help; Popular psychology

The author deomonstrates to parents and teachers that learning is as natural as breathing.

The ways we learn to talk, read, count and reason - even before we start school - should make the adult trust the child's innate ability.

This book features a critique of methods of learning about children, plus a chapter on learning and love.
