How to Help Children Learn Well. The Main Secrets of Academic Success That Are Not Taught in School

John Holt (1923–1985) is one of the most influential educators of the 20th century, the creator of alternative teaching methods (unschooling). His book was published 50 years ago and has not lost its relevance. The educator reveals the peculiarities of... thinking in preschoolers and younger schoolchildren, explaining how to instill a love of learning without killing the child's natural motivation.
John Holt clearly demonstrates which strategies will be useful for the first steps in preparing for school and in the early grades. He uncovers systemic errors and helps provide a better education for children. 
His methodology can be used alongside the school curriculum. The book will be useful not only for parents but also for educators and child psychologists.
