Neuroscientists Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang (who is also a parent) explain the developing brain, discussing subjects such as sleep problems, language learning, gender differences, and autism. They dispel common myths about important subjects such as the value of educational videos for babies, the meaning of ADHD in the classroom, and the best predictor of academic success (hint: it’s not IQ). Most of all, this book helps you know when to worry, how to respond, and, most important, when to relax.
