SUMMARY - The Natural Laws Of Children: Why Children Thrive When We Understand How Their Brains Are Wired By Celine Alvarez

Book excerpt: * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *By reading this summary, you will discover how to use the main principles of learning and human development to offer an alternative education to children and make them educated and responsible citizens of the future. Céline Alvarez conducted an experiment in a nursery school in Gennevilliers, based on a great principle: autonomy. Here are her conclusions. *You will also discover : that the environment within a classroom, when it is adapted, promotes learning; that we learn best by being active and by doing what motivates us; that the teacher's role is to help the child organize his knowledge; that the child goes through different sensitive periods of specialization; that without exchange and relationships, human intelligence cannot develop. *40% of children leave elementary school unmotivated and without basic knowledge. Yet, we are all capable of this learning. For Céline Alvarez, this failure is linked to the fact that all human beings do not learn in the same way. The child learns by doing, and this, from birth. Inspired by the work of pedagogues, neuroscience research and cognitive psychology, Céline Alvarez tells how to set up environmental and pedagogical invariants, allowing children to use their full potential, to learn with ease and joy. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
