Overview

What is intelligence? Is our success in life predetermined by the level of intelligence with which we are born? If not, if intelligence can be influenced by life experience, what can a parent or an educator do to help raise the intelligence of a child? Learning to Learn: Ways to Nurture Your Child's Intelligence is the provocative response to these and other important questions posed by concerned students, parents, and teachers, as these issues take on international significance. Dr. Angela Browne-Miller, an esteemed educator and clinical social worker, offers important guidance to promote cognitive development in children and to help adults investigate the potential of their own intelligences. She describes methods of stimulating mental abilities and intellectual performance. Dr. Browne-Miller contends that children can be taught how to concentrate, to think, to organize their thoughts - and, ultimately, how to be intelligent. The essence of this excellent book's message is that parents and teachers can create a reality in which children's spirits and minds flourish, providing we all develop our own understanding of mental ability and consciousness. To this end, the author explains how common assumptions regarding intelligence affect parents' views of their mental capabilities and those of their children. Dr. Browne-Miller delves into a number of controversial biological and genetic views regarding intelligence and examines their influence on the development of mental ability.

She examines the transitions a child makes from the home to the educational setting, where school success and school problems emerge. For example, the author illustrates how "educational labeling" and "tracking" an

Editorial Reviews

Jo Peer-Haas
Browne-Miller, a clinical social worker, believes that intelligence levels are not only genetically determined but can be positively influenced by nurturing environments. She includes chapters on how to evaluate schools, what both the folkloric and scientific definitions of intelligence are, and developing children's intellectual abilities. She addresses both parents and teachers, and her book is a cut above the usual teach-your-baby-to-be-a-genius sort.
