A groundbreaking approach to building learning habits for life,
based on a major new study revealing what works - and what doesn't
Life is different for kids today. Between standardized testing,
the Common Core Curriculum, copious homework assignments, and
seemingly endless amounts of "screen time," it's hard for kids -
and parents - to know what's most essential. How can parents help
their kids succeed - not just do well "on the test" -- but develop
the learning habits they'll need to thrive throughout their lives?
This important and parent-friendly book presents new solutions
based on the largest study of family routines ever conducted. "The
Learning Habit" offers a blueprint for navigating the maze of
homework, media use, and the everyday stress that families with
school-age children face; turning those "stress times" into
opportunities to develop the eight critical skills kids will need
to succeed in college and in the highly competitive job market of
tomorrow - skills including concentration and focus, time
management, decision-making, goal-setting, and self-reliance. Along
with hands-on advice and compelling real-life case studies, the
book includes 21 fun family challenges for parents and kids,
bringing together the latest research with simple everyday
solutions to help kids thrive, academically and beyond.
