The Smarter Preschooler- Unlocking Your Child’s Intellectual Potential

Renee Mosiman, M.A. and Mike Mosiman
Brighter Insights (2009)
ISBN 9780981642659
Reviewed by Kam Aures for RebeccasReads (8/09)

Having two young boys, I found “The Smarter Preschooler- Unlocking Your Child’s Intellectual Potential” to be a very interesting read.  “In a clear and accessible format, this book presents the latest quality research on developing a child’s intellectual abilities.  Then, based on co-author Renee’s Masters of Counseling Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy and her work with children in a clinical setting, combined with our first-hand knowledge from raising two children, we show you how to incorporate proven techniques into your daily routines.”  (p.6)

The book covers topics such as how your preschooler’s mind develops, the impact of family relationships on intelligence, the importance of reading, how play is beneficial, and how to teach children in everyday routines and when you are on the go.  There is a lot of useful advice given throughout the various sections of the book.  We already had been following much of the advice that is given in the language section, but reading this book has inspired me to incorporate more of the “math language” into our daily lives.  For instance, when I am cutting a sandwich I could use it as a learning opportunity by saying that I am cutting the sandwich into 4 pieces.  Each piece is ¼ of the sandwich, etc.  My children would really have fun with this, not to mention learn a thing or two!

I think that any parent and child would benefit in reading this book.   “The Smarter Preschooler- Unlocking Your Child’s Intellectual Potential” is a wonderful resource to help parents start their young child out on the right path and to help him to reach his full potential.
