The Intellectual Lives of Children Book Information:

o think and grow.Adults easily recognize childrens imagination at work as they play. Yet most of us know little about what really goes on inside their heads as they encounter the problems and complexities of the world around them. In The Intellectual Lives of Children, Susan Engel brings together an extraordinary body of research to explain how toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary-aged children think. By understanding the science behind how children observe their world, explain new phenomena, and solve problems, parents and teachers will be better equipped to guide the next generation to become perceptive and insightful thinkers.The activities that engross kids can seem frivolous, but they can teach us a great deal about cognitive development. A young girls bug collection reveals important lessons about how children ask questions and organize information. Watching a young boy scoop mud can illuminate the process of invention. When a child ponders the mystery of death, we witness how children build ideas. But adults shouldnt just stand around watching. When parents are creative, it can rub off on their children. Engel shows how parents and teachers can stimulate childrens curiosity by presenting them with mysteries to solve.Unfortunately, in our homes and schools, we too often train children to behave rather than nurture their rich and active minds. This focus is misguided, since it is with their first inquiries and inventionsand the adult worlds response to themthat children lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and good thinking. Engel offers readers a scientifically based approach that will encourage childrens intellectual growth and set them on the path of inquiry, invention, and ideas.
