Neuropsychology of Children from Birth to 10 Years: Brain Development and Useful Games

Elena Poroshina is a child neuropsychologist, clinical psychologist, Candidate of Psychological Sciences, author of training programs for specialists in child neuropsychology and psychsomatics. Over 25 years of practical work with children with both normative uneven development and features of psychophysical development. It was her personal experience that became the result and foundation of this book. Why doesn’t a child listen, refuse to read, get bad grades, or simply doesn’t want to study at all? These and many other life questions that almost every family faces can be answered in this book. Because it focuses on the period from birth to age 10—the age when there is a real chance to significantly change a child’s developmental trajectory, prevent many potential difficulties, and properly organize the environment in which they will grow. In her book the author: — explains the patterns of development of the child’s brain and mental processes in accessible, clear language; — gives detailed recommendations on how to prepare a preschooler for learning based on knowledge of psychophysiology; — offers games, tasks, and exercises to prevent and correct possible difficulties; — explains in detail what the brain of little children is capable of at each age, what and how to teach so as not to harm.
