Synopsis

The modern challenge of educating our children is daunting. Is there a book that can make sense of contemporary and changing theories in educational psychology, and light the way with the sure direction of Torah guidance?

Partners in Growth does just that! It focuses on the uniqueness of every child, and helps parents and teachers work together to nurture appropriately and effectively. Rabbi Moshe Young draws upon his many years of professional experience to deal with important issues, such as:

• reward and punishment at home and school
• the role of competition
• distractions and ways of focusing attention
• factors that enhance/impede memory
• encouraging language development
• rewarding effort vs. intelligence
• the purpose of testing and how to test accurately
• homework: pros and cons
• personality types and personality clashes
• understanding aggression

This book provides a window into a child's mind in order to achieve the ultimate goal — in ways that are pleasing to Hashem.
