Your Brain on Childhood: The Unexpected Side Effects of Classrooms, Ballparks, Family Rooms, and the Minivan

Today's hectic environment is full of stresses that can overwhelm most adults, but we rarely think about how highly unnatural it is as a way to raise children. This book reviews current research and suggest ways we can naturalize childhood so a child's environment complements the way their brains are meant to grow. This clearly written, accessible book describes how our environment is designed around, and controlled by technology, and how we can better shape a child's daily environment to help the natural development of young minds that are shaped by freewheeling play, pretend, and face-to-face communication.
