Is it necessary or even possible to give your child a superior mind, teach
your young baby to read, increase his or her native intelligence? Ames and
Chase say NO. In this book they recommend that parents relax and enjoy
their preschoolers and let their minds alone. They point out that most young
children learn to walk, talk, think-even to read-without vast adult interference.
Don't Push Your Preschooler can make the young child's life richer and more
rewarding for all concerned. It will help parents understand child behavior in
general and their own child in particular.
This revision adds new material where needed and omits material no longer
relevant. There is a new chapter on food and health, reflecting the current
concern about nutrition. The chapter on individuality has been expanded
and to consider individual differences in the quality of health.
There is more emphasis on the interaction of the organism-the child- with the
environment, which is sometimes under estimated.
In addition to clues to readiness for kindergarten there have been added
equally important clues to readiness for first grade.
Should you try to do everything about guiding your child yourself? The
authors advise that you get help. And they offer specific assistances in their
book, and in the annotated list of other books that advise on the wide variety
of problems families face.
For parents made anxious by books that say it is all up to them, and fearful
that they are neglecting their duty by merely enjoying the preschool years,
this book should bring relief and relaxation as well as a healthier child
-parent relationship. If you follow the ideas in this book, your child should
benefit from a more balanced and natural development.
