Information: Product 1

"The newborn's brain is like a sponge -- it has millions of neurons that require constant stimulation… from the very instant she's born. Through proper, age-appropriate activities, your infant is not only exercising her brain, she's creating new brain cells -- growing her own intelligences with each well-modulated activity and interaction in her environment. " - Dr. Joseph Randazzo

“Renaissance Child - Nurture the Genius in Your Young Child”

An in-depth yet easy-to-follow discussion of early-childhood intellectual development, successful parenting and the fundamentals of "what's needed" to help a child realize his or her full potential, this volume provides an overview of the Randazzo/Montessori Smart-Start System -- and a guide to raising healthy, decent, bright children.

Following an introduction that presents Dr. Randazzo's mission, philosophies, and fifty-year journey as an educator, the volume is broken into two sections:

Part I: How Your Child Learns and Grows is a comprehensive and fascinating investigation of intellectual development -- and paths to successful learning -- during the first six years of life. Included in this section are overviews of early brain power and measures of intelligence, as well as a detailed discussion of the seven intelligences -- verbal/linguistic, math/logic, visual/spatial, naturalist, musical, movement, and social/emotional -- that coexist in the human brain. Part I reveals how you can literally grow your child's brain by tapping-into these intelligences and ensuring proper right brain/left brain stimulation; by ensuring basic developmental and environmental needs are met; and by optimizing "windows of opportunity" -- periods of sensitivity in the first 6 years of life during which particular intelligences are best accessed.

Part II: The Smart-Start Triangle concerns itself with the three crucial elements that embrace the child during the earliest years of development -- the cardinal points of the Smart-Start system: (1) the parent/teacher’s role in the learning process; (2) the home and family environments provided the child; (3) the experiences and activities employed to teach the child to write, read, compute and think logically and creatively…all by age six.
