Awakening the natural mind


If you are looking for something a little more indepth, than a nice quote, try Awakening Children's Minds: How Parents and Teachers Can Make a Difference by Laura E. Berk. In addition to providing clear roles for parents and teachers, Berk also offers concrete suggestions for creating and evaluating quality educational environments--at home, in child care, in preschool, and in primary school--and addresses the unique challenges of helping children with special needs.
Parents, Berk writes, need a consistent way of thinking about their role in children's lives, one that can guide them in making effective child-rearing decisions. Awakening Children's Minds gives us the basic guidance we need to raise caring, thoughtful, intelligent children.

Anyone know a similar book by an Australian author?
