English
By (author): Gregg Behr Ryan Rydzewski
Authors Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski know there's more to Mister Rogers than his trademark cardigan sweaters. To them, Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood isn't just a children's program - it's a proven blueprint for raising happier, healthier kids. As young people grapple with constant reminders that the world isn't always kind, parents and teachers can look to Fred Rogers: an ingenious scientist and legendary caregiver who was decades ahead of his time.
When You Wonder, You're Learning reveals this never-before-seen side of America's favourite neighbour, exploring how Rogers nurtured the tools for learning now deemed essential for school, work, and life. These tools can boost academic performance, social-emotional well-being, and even physical health. They cost almost nothing to develop, and they're up to ten times more predictive of children's success than test scores.
No wonder it's been called a must-read for anyone who cares about children. With insights from thinkers, scientists, and teachers - many of whom worked with Rogers himself - When You Wonder, You're Learning helps kids and the people who care for them do what Rogers taught best: become the best of whoever they are.
