Superpower Your Kids Urska Charney

You would do anything for your kids, right? What if you could do everything for them, in less than 15 minutes a day? You can. You can give your kids superpowers. These superpowers come through a combination of knowledge and empowerment which is the result of attention from parents while you play games with your kids. The game happens to be built out of miniature lessons. Superpower Your Kids is a fun, smart, engaging new parenting book from a best-selling, Pulitzer-nominated author, professor and father of two young children. It's perfect for caring, proactive parents and teachers of kids roughly age 3-12. Teach your kids a single new thing each day through Lesson Games, taking as little as a minute and no more than 15. These mini lessons are designed like a flexible syllabus and presented with some professorial tricks to make them more fun and to better stick. This system uses a proven, scientific approach--including techniques used by Nobel Prize winners--to teach and empower young children. Take a big, complicated thing to learn and break it down into manageable, bite-sized pieces, scaled to whatever each child can handle...and enjoy. Because this is about playing first (in an educational way) and the learning is a powerful side effect! The book includes a menu of 50 recommended classic movies, a reading list of 50 key books in the "Western Canon, Junior Edition" and a full year's worth of Lesson Games, 365 of them, in a Superpower Menu at the back. This book began as a Kickstarter success and is already in development for television. For parents, grandparents, teachers, home schooling and anyone who wishes to inspire a love for learning in children.
