-The book was carefully crafted and informative.- - Academic's Choice Awards

In this age of -let's let technology do the training- this book is a breath of fresh air. It stresses (without preaching) the importance of real life human interaction as a means to helping our children's brains develop properly. It encourages physical, mental and emotional interaction to help shape a well-rounded individual. I think it should be mandatory reading for people who do childcare as a profession -- so many in-home caretakers use electronics as a means to babysit not realizing how negatively this can affect a child's development. - Academic's Choice Awards -The book was carefully crafted and informative.- - Academic's Choice Awards In this age of let's let technology do the training this book is a breath of fresh air.
