Do you tell your preschooler one thing and they do the opposite? Are they easily distracted or unable to focus? If you suspect that your child may have a learning problem--or if you simply want to help them be ready--here is the book to read before he or she enters the school system: a realistic, humorous, and kind-hearted guide to helping your little one learn. In Ready to Learn, Stan Goldberg draws on thirty years of clinical experience (and personal experience as the father of two kids with learning differences) to provide an easy-to-use guide to helping children overcome any problems and improve their learning skills. Illustrating his discussion with many anecdotes about teaching both his own children and children in his private practice, Goldberg walks readers through the process of learning and shows how to identify a learning problem. He focuses on four major areas--problems of attention, understanding, storage, and retrieval--presenting each problem through the eyes of the child, in everyday terms that a parent can understand. He looks at seven down-to-earth strategies that will allow you to create the best plan to help your child overcome their problem and he provides many handy charts and figures that will help you organize your efforts. The book also includes a list of useful web sites and a chart of development milestones, outlining motor skills, cognitive-sensory skills, and language and social skills. Written in a style that blends humor, insightful stories, and practical experience, Ready to Learn provides a flexible, time-tested approach, using step-by-step strategies that will help your preschoolers become confident and love learning--before they enter the classroom.

It's perfectly natural for a young child to not listen and follow directions on occasion...and sometimes you'll notice that it's more often than not :)! But if you notice that your preschool-age child is having real difficulty learning or grasping a new idea or subject, then you, as your child's first teacher, should begin early to correct the problem. The book, "Ready to Learn: How to Help Your Preschooler Succeed," by Stan Goldberg, Ph.D., helps parents by identifying the five important steps in learning. He explains the different ways in which parents can teach their children at a young age, and shows them what children need to do in order to help themselves. He also gives reasons for learning difficulties and gives parents teaching strategies and solutions for preventing and solving learning problems. In addition, parents will be given the tools they need in order to learn and understand their child's own personal learning style, and how to help them learn more effectively. MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- parents of young children will find this book very informative and useful. It lists many resources where parents can find educational support, and includes developmental milestones from the age of three months - five years. It also includes many experiences from both parents and children.
