Publisher Description: Oh, how much grownups ask you to do, Why can't you just go to the park to play, Children want to have fun and be childlike while adults often ask them to sit, listen, write complete sentences, and solve long math problems over and over again. This book invites children to understand the answer to the big question of why the grownups in their lives ask them to stay inside and learn new lessons when the playground is calling their names. It explains how a balance of learning, wise choices, play, rest, and healthy food will help them reach their unique potential in life. Teachers and parents can use this book as a way to build a healthy learning climate. A focus on what "to do" instead of what "not to do" is emphasized in this book as it brings harmony and understanding between grownups and children. There are pages where parents can record important milestones and childhood activities for reference during parent-teacher conferences and fun reflection through the years. Building a healthy learning climate must be exciting and fun in order to allow children to feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to pursue their potential as individuals and as a generation. |
