Book Reviews of A Mind at a Time
Book Review: A 'must-read' for any parent
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched Dr Mel Levine on Oprah and couldn't get hold of this book fast enough. This is probably the most important book I have ever, or will ever read.Until now I'd fallen into the trap of thinking that a child's educational progress was directly linked to their degree of intelligence but this book rightly dismisses this unhelpful myth.As Dr Levine himself explains 'different brains are differently wired' and his book goes on to explain why and how, liberally explained with helpful examples from his own experience as an education expert.The various learning patterns he describes are revelatory - it all seems obvious once you've read it which just goes to show that he puts his points across with immense lucidity and passion.
The book not only sheds light on the facinating subject of how children learn but also provides invaluable insight into practical coping strategies to deal with weaknesses. Better still, it constantly reminds you to celebrate their strengths.I felt immensely uplifted and encouraged by this book and would urge any parent of a child who might be struggling at school to read this book immediately.
