    Research Needed by Every Parent and Grandparent of Preschoolers
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2012*

Preschool:At What CostSusan K. StewartPublished by Practical InspirationsP.O. Box 561Luling, TX 78648[...]ISBN 978-0-976739429-486 pp. e-book or pdf, Plus internet and print resourcesSusan K. Stewart's book, Preschool: At What Cost should be read by every parent and grand-parent of pre-kindergarten children. She presents balanced, well-researched information about the failure for long-term positive results from academic instructions to preschoolers by government and private organizations. She gives data that shows children this young do far better with self-directed, imaginative play and the security of parental involvement in their lives.The book is clearly written and easy to read. The author lists research studies at the end of each chapter plus web and print resources at the end of the book. Chapters include a history of preschools (both kindergarten, nursery and government schools such as Head Start),  the Real Numbers, What Experts Say, and the Politics of Preschool academic Education.Then Stewart has several chapters on what parents can do and why. Too many parents have been influenced by the media to think they're failing their children if not enrolled in a preschool that teaches reading and math and such `school-type' subjects as young as possible. Stewart shows that the real need of young children is to develop character, imaginative thinking, socialization, truths about God and good manners. Research proves that all these contribute far more to long-range success.

    Important Read for Parents of Preschoolers
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2013*

These days it seems like all 3 and 4 year olds are in a formal preschool program.  Have we ended up sending a message to the parents of those precious little ones that they are unable to provide all that their children need?  Even programs that only meet several mornings per week convince parents that their children will lack important academic and social skills if they don't leave home on a regular basis.In this book, Susan Stewart summarizes the history of the preschool movement and includes research which clearly demonstrates that attendance in a formal preschool program is not required in order to produce a well-educated, socialized adult 12-15 years later.  In fact, some programs actually produce the opposite results of that which were intended.If you want to keep your children home to cuddle and grow alongside you, this book will provide the statistics and logic you might need to convince well-meaning friends and relatives that you aren't ruining them.  This book is well documented and includes many links and resources for further study.  It is well worth the read for the parent of every 2-5 year old!
