Read All About It !

On this page I'll add influential and helpful books/articles, etc. that I think will add to your knowledge base.

Let's start this list with a couple of books about young people's brains .......

Endangered Minds: Why Children Don't Think And What We Can Do About It

Author: Dr. Jane Healy

384 pages, Simon & Schuster, paperback (9-1-99), ISBN 10-0684856204, ISBN 13-978-0684856209

This book is a detailed (and easy-to-read) study on our children's environment, how technology affects thought processes and how we can help them best filter good from bad in the high-tech age we live in.

Your Child's Growing Mind: Brain Development And Learning From Birth To Adolescence

Author: Dr. Jane Healy

432 pages, Harmony Publishing, paperback (5-25-04), ISBN 10-0767916158, ISBN 13-978-0767916158

Another in highly respected Dr. Healy's array of adolescent brain growth books, this is one of my favorites, about just how our children's brains perform, how they can be nurtured and markers we need to recognize, as parents and educators. Like her earlier books, even though somewhat technical in its content, Dr. Healy writes to both inform and entertain.
