THE FIRST STORYBOOK ON CREATING A HEALTHY BRAIN FOR
CHILDREN.
Most parents will agree that it is important that children learn good health
habits. It is also helpful if parents involve the child in the learning
process. The authors of The Brain Train have cleverly written a
delightfully illustrated story that guides children towards healthy habits
that encourage proper development of their brain. Focusing on certain
nutrients and exercises, the authors, Frances Meiser, Susan Lee and
Nina Anderson keep the child’s interest and deliver a message that they
can carry throughout their lives Frances Meiser who has a degree in
Elementary Education and Early Childhood Development with post
graduate studies in neurodevelopment, applies the program outlined in
this book for her work with children diagnosed as having attention deficit
disorder and learning disabilities.
Susan Lee who has spent years as a Medical Technologist finds the
nutritional advice presented to have a very positive effect on enhancing
learning ability and developing proper behavior patterns. The Brain Train
outlines a simple program children can get enthusiastic about. Easy
exercises such as using a wiggly straw, are both fun and beneficial to the
child. For parents and teachers who want to know reasons behind the
methods outlined, there is a chapter giving more details— just for them.
The Brain Train succeeds at its attempt to make learning fun because it is
in a storybook form. The illustrations by Scott Johnstone, are whimsical
and appealing. Included in the book is an interactive worksheet to be
filled out daily by the child, reinforcing the message and enhancing their
development of good habits. This book is appropriate for school reading
and health classes, as well as for family story telling.
