Reviews

Lisa Fiore's confidence in young children is a powerful antidote to an increasingly toxic educational milieu where young children's ways of being are too often dismissed as soft and non-cognitive. At turns soulful and scientific, this profound-yet-practical call to action invites caregivers, above all, to be in relationship with the growing child. With clarity and compassion, honed from her decades as a psychologist, educator, and observer of human development, Fiore shows us how. -Erika Christakis, author of The Importance of Being Little: What Young Children Really Need From Grownups
