Synopsis

"Different minds learn differently," writes Dr. Mel Levine, one of the best-known learning experts and pediatricians in America today. Some students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all. Yet most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. As a result, many children struggle because their learning patterns don't fit the way they are being taught.
In his #1 New York Times bestseller A Mind at a Time, Dr. Levine shows parents and those who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns, explaining how they can strengthen a child's abilities and either bypass or help overcome the child's weaknesses, producing positive results instead of repeated frustration and failure.
Consistent progress can result when we understand that not every child can do equally well in every type of learning and begin to pay more attention to individual learning patterns -- and individual minds -- so that we can maximize children's success and gratification in life. In A Mind at a Time Dr. Levine shows us how.

It's always sad to read about those students who don't get enough of the teacher's time... I just can't figure out how to give each student in the class of 25-35 sufficient time. Reduce class sizes? Nonsense- that would be too expensive. Let's just guilt the teachers because they aren't teaching the......more

I would recommend this book for anyone interested in raising children, or simply learning more about their own strengths and weaknesses. I know nothing about neurodevelopment, and this book was an accessible and solution-focused approach to building upon developmental strengths and weaknesses at all......more

I was very sad when Dr. Levine shot himself when accused of pedophilia, because I had found his work to be brilliant and extremely helpful. In my recent book, the editor recommended that I remove a reference to him, because of the accusation. Yes, that's an odd introduction to the book, but I wanted......more
