Another Blog Review: Maria's Space
Friday, May 22, 2009 at 2:33PM Maria, from Maria's Space, is the latest mom to put New World Kids on her blog, and, we have another winning review. Here are a few excerpts:
Wow, this book should be a mandatory read for anyone who works with children. Since reading it, I notice that I am seeing things in a whole new way and I can only imagine how children who learn this way will be as adults.
For parents, this is the perfect guide book for you, I couldn't put it down and it is full of ideas to help you nurture a child's natural ability to see the world outside and especially inside the box.
I love the emphasis of this book which is to foster and instill creative thinking among children. We and our children were taught "critical thinking" associated with analyzing and weighing information. This is no longer enough. Traditional thinking skills are still important but we need to filter in media, creating, making connections, approaching a subject sideways or solving problems from the inside out.
My personal favorite part of the book, talks about the Sensory Alphabet. The Sensory Alphabet as described in the book is a sensory language (line, shape, color, texture, space, sound, light movement, and rhythm.
And our publicist at Phenix and Phenix has sent us word that another blog review will appear on June 9 on the review site The Mom Buzz in Riverview FL at http://themombuzz.com.
