They offer a compelling message for today's parents: rather than invest in expensive enrichment programs and \"educational\" apps and toys, the best way to boost brainpower and interpersonal skills is to let children play. In fact, free and guided play is a better way for kids to learn and for parents to enjoy their children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on overwhelming scientific evidence, Hirsh-Pasek and Golinkoff explain how learning works from a child's point of view. They address how kids pick up key mathematical concepts, acquire language, develop a sense of self, and more. They also offer more than forty age-appropriate activities for children under nine. These simple, fun--yet powerful--exercises work as well or better than unnecessary interventions to engage kids and their ever-active, curious minds. This revised edition also includes the latest findings on how play supports learning, as well as a new chapter on the benefits and downsides of time spent with digital media. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePacked with insights from fascinating studies and reassuring advice, \u003ci\u003eEinstein Never Used Flash Cards\u003c\/i\u003e empowers readers to help their children thrive while bringing more joy to the hard work of parenting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy PhD Hirsh-Pasek,Roberta PhD Michnick Golinkoff,Diane PhD Eyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodale Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593980767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathy Hirsh-Pasek, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003eis a professor in the psychology department at Temple University, where she directs the Temple Infant and Child Laboratory and studies how children learn and flourish.
