Written with the same spirit of fun but underpinned by some great research, it explores whether your child thinks like a spy, a frequent flier, a fidgeter, a star trekker, a social secretary, an amplifier, or a happy wanderer--and what you can do to enhance their thinking. NO--the answer is not homework, more after school tutoring, or blaming the school. YES--the answer is thinking, talking and listening, and delightfully making mistakes together. The humanness of raising children comes through, and the impact can be most worthwhile. A book to read, dip into, come back to, and change the way you see learning.
