Summary: Encouragement is the Foundation for Everything
Comment: It is amazing that this book was first written so many years ago and has been kept such an undiscovered secret until now. This book, written by a great counselor educator (Don Dinkmeyer) and one of the historic geniuses in child development (Rudolf Dreikurs), is essential in an era when the pressure is building on schools, teachers, and students to produce. Schools are becoming the single greatest contributor to discouragement in children, and discouragement is the basic reason for acting out, poor grades, classroom discipline problems and, yes, even for the use of drugs and problems related to gang activity. If every teacher and parent could learn the art of encouragement, we would have children who were a lot happier and who could achieve more fluidly.

This book helps adults learn the art of encouragement and gives plenty of examples about how to put it to work at home and school. I recommend it to every one. It ought to be our goal that every child who enters school discouraged, leaves encouraged. And every child who comes to school already encouraged should stay that way. This is the blueprint for how that can happen.

Summary: Great help and counseling for parents of infants/toddlers
Comment: I have read several books about 'early learning and development' of children and have discovered some points in common. All these books encourage parents to start to develop children's capabilities as soon as possible (1 year is better than 2 year-old, 6 months is much better and 1 month! is really MUCH MUCH better). Don't be fooled by thinking that this 'little thing' is unable to hear you, see you or understand you. He/she really does and his fast-pace growing brain stores all you teach him (good or bad). You can teach your child absolutely whatever you want, because the child's brain is developing an incredible rate. The training you provide him/her helps to create more synaptic connections that later will lead to greater ability to reason and memory. Don't think your baby is not getting the 'training' you provide him/her. No matter if you teach maths / reading /languages / music /computing sciences or whatever other subject. The important point is to do it always respecting the children and being conscious that the (quality) time that we spend with our children is the most precious and well-invested time we can share with them. Dinkmeyer and Dreikurs use the approach shown in 'Children the challenge' to improve paths of communication with children, letting the message of love, respect and courage get through. 'Encouraging Children to Learn' complements other classics by Doman like (how to teach maths... or How to teach your baby to read), books that should be in the shelves of all homes where lives a child.
