However, I thought I'd take a quick minute to make a few reading suggestions. If you are like me, you are just about ready to dive into some reading.
My two favorite books on understanding how we learn are:
A Mind at a Time by Mel Levine
- This book helps us recognize our children's strengths and teach in a way that will enhance their ability to learn.
Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves
- Social scientist have spent years studying the importance of emotional intelligence and not just IQ. This book teaches us how to improve 1) Self-Awareness, 2) Self-Management, 3) Social Awareness, and 4) Relationship Management. Each of these four attributes are critical to success and improving our quality of life.
If you are just looking for some easy reading the next two are great novels:
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
- Full of family secrets and untold journeys this multigenerational book uncovers the mystery of one women's past and brings forth another woman's future.
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
- When a woman starts to remodel a French apartment she is compelled to uncover the story of the Jewish family that lived there during the 1942 roundups and deportations. This journey of discovery helps her find strength within herself and the will to make a better future.
Whether you read, nap or play.... Have a wonderful break!!
