All children are born wired to learn and to love. As young children explore the world and interact with others, their brains can naturally develop in incredible ways. And yet, despite our best intentions, early education often fails to fully encourage this natural learning and empathy. Alvarez believes we can revolutionize early childhood learning through natural creativity, strong human connections, spontaneous free play, and more. She explains the scientific principles that underpin human learning. -- adapted from back cover
