"A remarkable book. Whether you are an educator, parent, or simply
a curious reader, you will come to see, hear, and understand
children in new ways." -Howard Gardner, author of Multiple
Intelligences Adults easily recognize children's imagination at
work as they play. Yet most of us know little about what really
goes on inside their heads as they encounter the problems and
complexities of the world around them. Susan Engel brings together
an extraordinary body of research to explain how toddlers,
preschoolers, and elementary-aged children think. A young girl's
bug collection reveals how children ask questions and organize
information. Watching a boy scoop mud illuminates the process of
invention. When a child ponders the mystery of death, we witness
how ideas are built. But adults shouldn't just stand around
watching. When parents are creative, it can rub off. Engel shows
how parents and teachers can stimulate children's curiosity by
presenting them with mysteries to solve, feeding their sense of
mastery and nourishing their natural hunger to learn. "A
fascinating read for parents who wonder, simply, what is my child
thinking? Why do they love collecting? Where did that idea come
from? A celebration of children's innovation and sense of wonder."
-Emily Oster, author of Expecting Better "Combining insight,
scientific acumen, and exquisite narrative, The Intellectual Lives
of Children allows readers to peer into the minds of infants,
toddlers, and preschoolers as they explore and learn in everyday
moments, emphasizing what constitutes real learning." -Kathy
Hirsh-Pasek, Science
