Parenting Books Giveaway, Part I: Light Up Your Child's Mind (8/20) CLOSED
Thursday, July 30, 2009 Posted by Dina
Hachette Book Group is about to release two fascinating new titles that are definitely on my to-read list! The first one, Light Up Your Child's Mind, falls into the education, family, and relationships category, and is co-authored by Joseph Renzulli, Sally Reis, and Andrea Thompson. The second book, NurtureShock, will be published in September and is written by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. I am happy to introduce both!
Book Description
Based on the renowned "Renzulli Method," which has been adopted in schools all over the country, LIGHT UP YOUR CHILD'S MIND presents a practical program to help children fire up a love of learning to last a lifetime. World-renowned experts Drs. Renzulli and Reis illustrate the crucial role parents can play in their children's development and address how they can work with teachers to enhance their children's education. They uncover the hidden potential of daydreamers, rebels, and one-track minds, arguing that gifted behavior--basic smarts, high levels of task commitment, and creativity--can be fostered in bright children, even unmotivated ones. Step by step, LIGHT UP YOUR CHILD'S MIND will show parents how to set their kids on the path to a rewarding future.
The Giveaway
Thanks to Hachette Book Group, I am giving away FIVE copies of this book! You can enter by commenting below with the title of a book you really liked.
For extra entries, feel free to do any or all of the following:
Open to residents of U.S. or Canada only. No P.O. box addresses, please. One book per person. Winners will receive their prizes directly from Hachette Book Group. Book information was provided by the publisher.
Good luck!

I haven't read many parenting books since I had my baby. I liked The Happiest Baby on the Block, and found that many of its suggestions worked for us! Thanks for the giveaway.
