Nicholas Provenzano
About this listen
Child-rearing is a rewarding, beautiful, and amazing experience. But as a parent, there are dozens of frustrating and exasperating moments of self-doubt.
Nicholas Provenzano gets it. He’s spent over 15 years in the classroom to shape problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Oh, and he’s a dad, too.
Follow Mr. Provenzano as he explores the science behind creativity and the different things that parents can do to support their children as they grow up. He starts by digging deep into the research of Abraham Maslow, laying the foundations for creativity by identifying the basic needs of every child.
Once he’s established the baseline, Mr. Provenzano provides listeners with a robust set of tools to develop a child’s creative and inquisitive nature: from the importance of play—gameplay, unstructured play, sports, and even LEGO building sets—to suggestions for toys and activities that help children grow to be creators instead of just consumers.
Further, Mr. Provenzano reveals ways to organize inside your home to support creativity, as well as provides listeners with reasons to get children playing outside of the home. Learn the benefits of allowing children to take a certain type of risk in order to become more resilient, and increase self-esteem and confidence. And listeners will discover "Design Thinking" as a way to explore problem solving and critical thinking during project-based learning.
Beyond improving parenting skills and giving fewer moments of doubt, this course may even introduce listeners to strategies to help harness their own creativity and critical-thinking skills. This course is a “must-listen” for parents of children of all ages.

Interesting ideas that can be implemented straight away. All educators and parents should listen to this. Sadly, there is no accompanying pdf.

Amazing Ideas but ......
Thought provoking ! - this book mentions many products and websites, but there is no list given with the audiobook.
This book illustrates the shortcoming of Audiobooks, there is no given way to follow up and pursue the websites and products suggested.
Audible has let us down.

not particularly insightful
After reading a few parenting books I was very interested to read something about how to keep children curious. However, this book makes its main connections to Maslow's principles which would be fine but it's not done very convincingly. It was difficult to get through it as most of the tips and points could have been made in a cafe chatting with your friend. Also some of the "scientific" claims are dubious and give the impression the author didn't make much of an effort to process scientific literature.

I couldn't finish.
Are you raising kids in a home or programming robots for a big corporation?
Absolutely useless.
The first part is a bunch of common sense, which you would know/do anyway.
Then, there is the last bit where you feel like you are being trained to work for Google and how to behave with your coworkers.
Do not waste your time with this.

British English version please
Please make British English versions of these audiobooks. I’m really not a grumpy person but the American accent is just too grating to listen to. Thanks in advance.
