School Smart: Make Your Child a Success at School looks at every aspect of a child’s
development and asks ‘what can parents do to help their child
become smarter, and more successful?’
Steven Hastings argues that intelligence is not a fixed concept, but
something which is shaped over many years by a whole range of factors.
Factors which parents are in a unique position to influence. The key to
success is a holistic approach - developing intellectual, emotional and
physical well-being to nurture the sort of young people who will thrive
in a rapidly changing world.
The book explores how best to unlock children’s creative
potential. There are hints for improving your child’s
communication skills and self-confidence. There are practical exercises
to develop the skills needed for exam success, such as good memory,
fast writing and concentration. And there is expert advice on choosing
the right school for your child and on how to make use of private
tutors.
Tomorrow’s Intelligence redefines our
concept of what good parenting is. Instead of simply teaching children
the right values, the right manners and the right way to ride a bike -
parents now have the opportunity to do something more fundamentally
important: to make their children clever.
