Thanks to Anna and Hatchette Books Group we're giving away Light Up Your Child's Mind by Joseph Renzulli, Sally Reis, and Andrea Thompson.
About the Book, courtesy of the Publisher:
Based on the renowned "Renzulli Method," which has been adopted in schools all over the country, Light Up Your Child's Mind presents a practical program to help children fire up a love of learning to last a lifetime. World-renowned experts Drs. Renzulli and Reis illustrate the crucial role parents can play in their children's development and address how they can work with teachers to enhance their children's education. They uncover the hidden potential of daydreamers, rebels, and one-track minds, arguing that gifted behavior--basic smarts, high levels of task commitment, and creativity--can be fostered in bright children, even unmotivated ones. Step by step, Light Up Your Child's Mind will show parents how to set their kids on the path to a rewarding future.

Renzulli, Ph.D., is the Neag Professor of Gifted Education and Talent Development at the University of Connecticut and the Director of The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented.

I am a mom of 4 grown kids, but I still like to do things with them when we do get to be together. My daughter and I love to shop and go to movies together. All of my kids love to go out to eat with their dad and me. When they are visiting us, we all love to cook together - either in the kitchen or outside with the gas grill!
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter and I love to bake cookies together and go to the beach! I love to read Nursery Rhyme books her. Good Night Moon is my favorite children's book, and my granddaughter likes it too.
