Synopsis: Why are mental developments during childhood so important to childrens futures? The leading premise of this book is that childrens early life experiences forever shape their ability to learn, think, and conduct their adult lives. International tests consistently disgrace the schooling and achievement of U.S. students. The public is either unaware of the disaster or hasnt taken it seriously, even though its equivalent to the catastrophes of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 . . . According to: Wayne H. Holtzman, PhD, Dean, College of Education (retired), President, Hogg Foundation for Mental Health (retired), The University of Texas at Austin: (Als) keen insight into the emotional socialization, learning, and creative thinking of a developing child in our ever-more complex world is indeed impressive. Any parent or teacher could profit from a careful reading of this thought-provoking book. * * * * * * * * Albert Yee (EdD, 1965, Stanford) has served as a distinguished classroom teacher for seven years in California and 30 years as professor of psychology and education and academic dean in America and East Asia.
