    “It is one thing to spend 10,000 hours to discover the science of pre-school learning, but it takes genius to turn that science into simple, practical strategies. In this must-read book, David Chiem, Brian Caswell and Kylie Bell have brought the latest research alive, so that every pre-school child, parent and teacher can benefit from it.”

    “In this age of achievement testing, ‘enrichment’ classes, and overscheduled, overstimulated pre-schoolers, Pre-school Parenting Secrets: Talking with the Sky provides a timely reminder about the importance of play and creative exploration in a child's early life. Through a wealth of research-based, concrete ideas for cultivating an environment where play is valued, Caswell, Chiem, and Bell offer parents a valuable resource for sparking children's interest in learning. An excellent practical guide to parenting in the early years!”
