A SEASONED EDUCATOR SHOWS YOU HOW TO RAISE AN ENTHUSIASTIC,
LIFELONG LEARNER
How do we show our children the great joys of learning? How do
we get them to want more?
In the past, parents and educators have offered rewards and
threatened punishment. More recently, they have focused on building
self-esteem, but the latest research shows that this effort hasn't
had a measurable impact in the classroom -- and can even discourage
children from learning. Combining years of experience in schools
with a thorough survey of current research, Deborah Stipek and
Kathy Seal offer this fresh and practical guide to what really
works. Packed with strategies for parents of toddlers and
elementary school students, Motivated Minds explains how close
relationships with adults and feelings of competency and autonomy
make children want to learn.
Always engaging and insightful, the authors describe how to
create an intellectually enriching home environment for children
that will enhance their school experience. They offer practical
advice on promoting enthusiasm, academic risk-taking, and
persistence, and they give down-to-earth tips for managing
difficult issues -- praise, grades, rewards, competition, and
performance pressure -- that inevitably arise for schoolchildren
and parents. Motivated Minds is a must for any parent wanting to
raise a curious, creative, ambitious, and independent child.
