The Gift of Making a Child Happy

Many parents think that only a school can teach their child to fully understand language, reading and writing.

This book simply and easily describes how the opposite is true! School needs your help if your child is to do well. Dealing with early speech, and later reading and writing, this book makes you a complete expert in the field!

Parents are excellent teachers in the early years of a child's life because they know at any one time exactly what the child can do at this stage of his life.

Do you remember making your child smile for the first time, coaxing his first steps or first word? Intuitively you only ever set him a task which you knew was within his range of ability. Then, you began moving the targets by getting him to attempt something slightly more difficult than the things he could already do. So you see, from the minute your child was born you were already, constantly teaching him new skills.

This teaching shouldn't stop when your child goes to nursery or play school. Once you understand the role of language in learning, you will find teaching school topics becomes easier and your child will learn faster.

See for yourself how easy the process can be. Enable you and your child to enjoy learning.

This book is the perfect gift for anyone you know with young children in their lives, including teachers!
