Learn how a child's brain works, develops, and changes during the critical stages of childhood!

Robert Sylwester, author of 10 books, has written this volume to help parents and educators understand children's cognitive development and provide suggestions on how to nurture children to their full potential. A companion to The Adolescent Brain, this rich resource:

Examines the neurobiology of childhood, explaining the body/brain systems that develop during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood
Explores factors that can enhance or delay development, such as nutrition, family life, relationships, illness, intelligence, technology, creativity, and the arts
Provides practical suggestions to help adults promote healthy development and successful learning in the children they encounter
Includes a glossary of neurobiological terms

A Child's Brain helps parents and educators understand the biological, emotional, and neurological changes that occur during childhood so they can support children's learning, socialization, and growth.

Industry Reviews

"Sylwester makes a strong case for how neuroscience has changed the knowledge base and offers ways the new knowledge could and should be incorporated into planning for a child's education. The author's subtle sense of humor communicates complex conclusions with great effectiveness." -- Barbara Clark, Professor Emeritus "This valuable, reader-friendly book helps parents, teachers, and others who work with young children understand the complex and amazing processes involved as the young brain grows and develops." -- David A. Sousa, Consultant in Educational Neuroscience "The book reminds us of the importance of nurturing children during a time when schools are facing the great stress of having students perform on standardized tests. We need to help children develop from their core through nurture, even if that development cannot be measured on a test." -- Sonia Trehan Kelly, Director
