Every parent’s dream—the secrets of acclaimed kindergarten teachers revealed!

Countless parents have imagined how much easier life would be if they could get their children to listen and cooperate at home just as they do with their favorite teachers.

This book offers creative tips and activities from award-winning teachers nationwide, detailing the simple techniques they use, why they work, and how to adapt them for use at home. For example, good teachers would never demand their students’ attention by instructing them to “Listen!”—but they might say, “Put on your elephant ears.” And instead of telling them to “Walk quietly,” they might remind them to “Wear your marshmallow feet.”

The book also helps parents of 3- to 6-year-olds support their child’s development the way the best early childhood teachers do—by fostering independence and self-reliance. Parents learn to:

• Understand how children grow and develop
• Realize the importance of rules and controlling Frustration
• Organize their household and create routines
• Handle transitions smoothly
• Give children tools to resolve problems themselves

Each chapter opens with a section called "Sound Familiar?" that describes a scenario parents will quickly recognize. Authors Chernofsky and Gage then identify the development stage that is prompting the distressing behavior, help parents to relate the child's behavior in a somewhat parallel situation, and offer strategies for coping with and changing the situation for the better..

Cooperation among humans is one of the keys to our great evolutionary success. Natalie and Joseph Henrich examine this phenomena with a unique fusion of theoretical work on the evolution of cooperation, ethnographic descriptions of social behavior, and a range of other experimental results. Their experimental and ethnographic data come from a small, insular group of middle-class Iraqi Christians called Chaldeans, living in metro Detroit, whom the Henrichs use as an example to show how kinship relations, ethnicity, and culturally transmitted traditions provide the key to explaining the evolution of cooperation over multiple generations..
