The author says:I believe that a child is a precious gift from heaven, sent to parents and teachers. I also believe that there is a shining star inside each child awaiting its chance to shine as we, the parents and caretakers, light up his/her heart to cause them to shine on those who surround them.The main goal of the book is to present the features that characterize the various stages in childhood, their nature and motivations, and to posit that individual differences exist among children. The more my readers understand the nature and traits of each stage in a child's development, including the variables that may come into play along the way, the better they are capable of reasoning and controlling their reactions when choosing the adequate and positive style of education. This book aims at helping my readers step away from many of the traditional educational styles.Does not this precious child, the gift sent from heaven, deserve our meaningful and conscious effort and persistence?
