Brain Changers: Major Advances in Children’s Learning and Intelligence: Brain Smart

Autor David P. Sortino
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2019
Brain Changers: The Most Important Advances in Children's Learning and Intelligence represents my second book of The Brain Smart Trilogy. This book presents an in-depth look at successful learning techniques and current brain research about how to increase children's learning potential at all age levels. In my opinion, the words brain changing supports an often-ignored, yet obvious concept that children learn best when they are interested or passionate about learning. Our brain's limbic system knows this when it forms emotional connections or attachment (bonding) to learning. For example, a major area of our brain associated with the brain changing concept is called the hippocampus. In fact, the hippocampus is the only part of your child's learning brain where neurons regenerate or make more neurons. The medical world connects this positive brain changing experience and calls it brain plasticity or the brain's ability to modify its connections or rewire itself. Studies show that without this ability, any brain, not just the human brain, would be unable to develop from infancy to adulthood. In my opinion, this book's information provides readers with up-to-date brain research and proven learning techniques to support my brain changing thesis for all individuals interested in helping children reach high levels of learning.

Recenzii

Educating parents and children about the multiple intelligence is always a worthwhile endeavor. This book translates Multiple Intelligence theory into very practical and illuminating activities in everyday life. Following this guidance would be a powerful experience for readers of all ages.
In this engaging and insightful book, Dr. Sortino takes us deeper into how the brain works and how parents and teachers can be effective "brain changers" in a child's life. The excellent chapter on moral intelligence and how to help kids through the stages of moral reasoning is especially welcome at a time when poor moral reasoning is all too common among both adults and kids. The concluding chapter on neurofeedback and how to help children reduce anxiety and gain self-control by observing how their own brain is working offers a hopeful, much-needed option to the rush to medication.
In order to create a better learning brain, students must be organized, adaptive, passionate, and secure about learning. Research and follow-up studies of these traits with theoretical knowledge may suggest why multiple intelligence, child development theory, moral development, cognitive development, neuroscience should be included in every parent and/or teacher's playbook. Dr. Sortino's excellent book Brain Changers: The Most Important Advances in Children's Learning and Intelligence introduces readers to those individuals who have made major contributions in the fields of education, psychology, neuroscience and child development.
Brain Changers: he Most Important Advances in Children's Learning and Intelligence is Dr. Sortino's second book in his Brain Smart Trilogy. Dr. Sortino's book is well supported by up-to-date research, field studies and publications by notable learning theorists that include Dr. Jean Piaget, Dr. Lawrence Kohlberg, Dr. Eric Erikson and Dr. Howard Gardner to name but a few. Moreover, as a neurofeedback professional and neuroscientist, Dr. Sortino's book describes brain changing successes with clients of all ages. I highly recommend this book for teachers, therapists and/or anyone interested in ground breaking theories about how children learn more effectively.
