einstein never used flash cards

Are you a parent or someone that is always around a child as they are growing up? Are they always being pushed to learn and not play like you did as a child? Now a day, children are being pushed way to hard to be “smarter than their peers.” The message to all parents is that, there is no longer sufficient way for infants and toddlers to learn independently as they have for millennia through their own curiosity and a little help from their family members when teaching opportunities arise, (Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, & Eyer, 2003). One survey shows that 65% of parents believe that flash cards are “very effective” in helping 2 year olds develop their intellectual capacity. Also more than a third of parents surveyed believe that playing Mozart to their infants enhances brain development,” (Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, & Eyer, 2003). After reading the book, Einstein Never Used Flash Cards written by Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Roberta Michnick Golinkoff and Diane Eyer, I have a different outlook on the book. Since all the authors are credible and give reliable sources, I trust their information and knowledge.
