Description: Beyond Smart is the first book to give parents practical, realistic tools for maximizing all aspects of their child&#x2019;s educational experience, from academics to social and emotional learning, beginning from birth. Morgan provides clear direction for parents, giving them effective strategies for guiding and supporting their child&#x2019;s learning --beginning while the child is still in diapers &#x2013; and for working with educators and within a school community. Each chapter in this book addresses a common school-related issue, breaking it down into specific, approachable problems and presenting steps towards resolution. Morgan, a veteran journalist, includes the very latest in brain and education research, and draws from a pool of world-renowned experts, including Dr. Harvey Karp, Dr. Wendy Mogel, Dr. Laura Kastner, Dr. Andrew Meltzoff, and many more. Beyond Smart provides a blueprint for parents who want to go beyond academics to support their child&#x2019;s social and emotional education.
