A fine book that authoritatively communicates the increasing scientific base to empower educators with solid evidence to improve their professional practice and enhance their own well-being. Former works appropriately had to add perhaps and maybes to much of the text.

The "Flourishing in the First Five Years" book is one you want to send to every parent, grandparent and educator you know! The authors included the pertinent and recent neuroscientific literature, elegantly woven within the practical examples set forth on brain development, and written in “layman’s” terms for every person who raises, teaches or works with children.
