Learning Fundamentals: Starting School

Fifty per cent of a child's physical brain capacity is developed by age five. "Learning FUNdamentals" is a guide for parents to help them provide an environment for their child that is stimulating, thought-provoking and fun. Providing a variety of ideas, games and activities, the guide informs parents of everything they need to know to aid their child's physical, emotional and intellectual development. An introduction sets the stage through plain English explanations of how a child develops and the crucial stages that children go through in their early years. Each stage of a child's development is detailed and backed by games and activities for parents to do with their child during that stage. Pull-out cards can be used for many of the activities, including vocabulary building and sense stimulation. A height child is also included to help parents measure their child's physical development and illustrations, diagrams and artwork show how the activities are done.
