Smart & Smarter teaches parents & educators how to enhance a child's educational achievement. Specific instruments used by Gardner are the Behavioral Assessment Rating Inventory (BARI), developed by Gardner, & the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children. Both were developed specifically for assessing a child's developmental level & intellectual level. No other book on enhancing the intelligence of children uses both of these instruments, which possess both diagnostic & prescriptive teaching qualities. Contents: PART I: THE NATURE OF INTELLIGENCE * Enhancing Your Child's Intelligence: An Introduction to Cognitive Coaching * The Distribution of Intelligence * How Intelligence Is Measured * The Dumbing Down of Schools * The Development of Intelligence: Environment Is Decisive * Getting Started * PART II: THE FIRST FIVE YEARS * Starting the BARI Program * Physical Development * The Foundations of Higher Order Thinking (Memory, Language, Basic Cognitive Skills, Awareness of Self, & Problem Solving) * The Foundations of Creativity & Aesthetic Pleasure * Social & Emotional Development * PART III: THE SECOND FIVE YEARS * The Five to Seven Shift * The Enhancement of Right Brain Thinking * The Enhancement of Left Brain Thinking * PART IV * Grandparents & Other Important People Who Can Help * The Parent as Coach, Guide, Tutor & Role Model
