The ages from 2 to 5 are a crucial stage of life for developing a child's talents, and every youngster will advance more quickly with the psychologically designed games and projects in this innovative book. Here are hundreds of practical, fun-filled activities to stimulate the imagination and build skills in music, art, drama, language, science, and math. Parents can use the "talent spotter" tables to identify special gifts and the year-by-year development charts to make sure their child is achieving full potential. To give parents a better grasp of how much difference activities like these can make, the author, a psychologist noted for her research in child development, explains the nature of creativity and its links with imagination, intelligence, and giftedness.

Creative Play For 2-5s: Recognize and Stimulate Your Child's Natural Talents

The emphasis is on fun as parent and child play "Wiggly Jiggly," "Bear, Bee &amp; Tabby Cat," or "Splish, Splash, Splosh." But since a person's adult vocabulary is largely determined by the speech heard in the first three years of life, there's a serious purpose behind each of these games. Each involves an important learning process, from naming objects and describing actions, to the essential math skills of matching and sorting groups of objects and recognizing numbers by sight and sound. Designed by a team of child development experts and based on the latest research on how children acquire vocabulary, logic, and number sense, these games offer a delightful way to get toddlers and preschoolers off to a brilliant start.

A noted child development expert advises parents on how to help their child make the most of his or her natural talents and abilities. The book speaks mainly to parents of kids between the critical ages of two and six—the years when a child's innate aptitudes and talents start to blossom. Dr. Einon opens this book with an explanation of creativity, pointing out signs for moms and dads to look for. She discusses ways to provide an optimal environment for children gifted with especially creative aptitudes, and she gives attention to details that include the child's relations with siblings, gender differences, and problems that the creative child might encounter at home and in school. Activities to foster a child's creativity are recommended, with suggestions for carrying them out. They include drawing and painting, music, dance, playacting, dressing up in costumes, reading, storytelling, encouraging humor, mastering numbers, and developing orderly thinking habits and social skills. The book is heavily illustrated in full color and features helpful "age-by-stage" development charts.
