Summary:

By designing learning experiences that reflect situations and challenges children face in their lives, educators can help them begin to develop the habits of mind that feed a lifetime of learning. Practical examples in this book show how those who work with young children can introduce these habits - such as persisting, managing impulsivity, listening with understanding and empathy, thinking flexibly, and many others - in entertaining, concrete, developmentally appropriate ways.
